FORM 990, PART III, 4A	CONTINUATION OF PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS: III. GROUNDWATER. A) GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT: ON JANUARY 26, 2017, THE CENTRAL COAST REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD ADOPTED A RESOLUTION FOR "THE HUMAN RIGHT TO WATER," A PROGRAM THAT DIRECTS ITS STAFF TO ASSIST THE STATE WATER BOARD AND RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS TO COLLECT DATA TO IDENTIFY AND TRACK COMMUNITIES THAT DO NOT HAVE, OR ARE AT RISK OF NOT HAVING, SAFE, CLEAN AFFORDABLE, AND ACCESSIBLE WATER ADEQUATE FOR HUMAN USE. IN APRIL 2017 HEAL THE OCEAN HIRED CAL POLY STUDENT RILEY HAAS TO WORK WITH THE REGIONAL BOARD, AT REGIONAL BOARD OFFICES IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, ON A GROUNDWATER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT THAT IS IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING SHALLOW GROUNDWATER QUALITY DATA IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY IN ORDER TO ASSESS POLLUTION SOURCES THE REPORT WILL BE RELEASED BY THE REGIONAL BOARD IN 2019. B) CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER CLEANUP - CITY OF SANTA BARBARA. HEAL THE OCEAN COLLABORATES WITH THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES SITE MITIGATION UNIT (SMU) TO TACKLE THE CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER PROBLEM BENEATH THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA. WE COLLABORATED WITH SANTA BARBARA COUNTY HAZMAT AND THE REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD HAZMAT SECTION TO ORGANIZE INFORMATION INTO THE STATE'S GEOTRACKER DATABASE, WHICH HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE REGIONAL BOARD TO METHODICALLY PRIORITIZE SITES FOR CLEANUP. THE CLEANUP ORDERS CONTINUE TO COME IN, HEAL THE OCEAN IS COPIED ON THESE ORDERS, AND IN 2018 THERE WERE OVER 7 CLEANUP ORDERS ISSUED IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA FOR VARIOUS GROUNDWATER AND SOIL POLLUTION VIOLATIONS. IV. ONSHORE POLLUTION A) OIL POLLUTION (OCEAN DUMPING) I) BECKER WELL. ON FEBRUARY 26, 2018, A BARGE FROM CURTIN MARITIME, LONG BEACH, ARRIVED TO THE COASTLINE TO CAP THE LEAKING BECKER WELL ON SUMMERLAND BEACH. HEAL THE OCEAN HAD SUCCEEDED IN LOBBYING FOR THE $1.5 MILLION TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION WORK. HEAL THE OCEAN ALSO SUCCESSFULLY LOBBIED TO GET SB 44 (HANNAH-BETH JACKSON) PASSED, WHICH WILL PROVIDE $2 MILLION PER YEAR TO TACKLE LEAKING, DERELICT WELLS AND STRUCTURES ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST. TO PREPARE FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS, AND WITH FUNDS PROVIDED BY MANITOU FUND, MINNESOTA, HEAL THE OCEAN HIRED AQUEOS, VENTURA, TO CONDUCT AN AERIAL SURVEY OF THE WELLS OFFSHORE SUMMERLAND. THE RESULTS OF THE AERIAL SURVEY IDENTIFIED FOUR DISTINCT WELLS, AND HEAL THE OCEAN CONTINUES TO WORK WITH STATE LANDS CONTRACTORS ON PLANS TO CAP ADDITIONAL WELLS OFF SUMMERLAND. II) OTHER LEAKING WELLS OFF SUMMERLAND. HARRY RABIN, AN ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER OF HEAL THE OCEAN, IS ALSO AN EXPERIENCED OIL DIVER AND DRONE PHOTOGRAPHER, AND IS WORKING WITH STATE LANDS COMMISSION CONTRACTORS TO IDENTIFY HOW TREADWELL WILL BE CAPPED. RABIN GUIDED DIVERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS GATHERED FROM THE AIR. CONSTRUCTION IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE DURING WINTER 2020. B) STYROFOAM AND SINGLE USE PLASTIC POLLUTION. HEAL THE OCEAN JOINED OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS IN THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA TO LOBBY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC STRAWS AND CUTLERY AS WELL AS STYROFOAM CUPS AND TAKEOUT CONTAINERS IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE OCEAN POLLUTION. THE COUNCIL VOTED TO RESTRICT PLASTIC STRAWS, WITH PROVISIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON STYROFOAM CONTAINED AN EXEMPTION CLAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN FOOD RETAILERS THE ABILITY TO PLEAD "HARDSHIP" EVERY YEAR IF THEY COULD PROVE STYROFOAM WAS BETTER FOR THEIR PRODUCT OR THAT CHANGING TO A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PRODUCT WOULD CAUSE ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. HEAL THE OCEAN ASKED THE CITY COUNCIL TO CHANGE THE WORDING FOR EXEMPTION TO ONE YEAR ONLY. THE CITY COUNCIL AGREED WITH US AND VOTED 7-0 TO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE TO READ THAT AFTER ONE YEAR, "HARDSHIP" CASES WILL NOT BE RENEWED. THE STYROFOAM BAN WENT INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1, 2019. HEAL THE OCEAN IS NOW WORKING WITH MARBORG INDUSTRIES TO FACILITATE A STYROFOAM RECYCLING FACILITY IN SANTA BARBARA. C) SUMMERLAND HOMELESS. HOMELESSNESS IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS A MAJOR SOURCE OF WATER POLLUTION BECAUSE OF LACK OF SANITATION IN THE CAMPS. HEAL THE OCEAN HAS BEEN TACKLING THE PROBLEM IN SUMMERLAND SINCE SPRING 2017, WORKING WITH CARPINTERIA/SUMMERLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND A SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SHERIFF TO CLEAN OUT THE CAMPS, WHICH BECAME A PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THE CAMP CAUGHT ON FIRE. IN JULY 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH HOME FOR GOOD, A UNITED WAY PROGRAM IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY - TO FUND THE SUMMERLAND ARM OF ITS PROGRAM THAT BRINGS IN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, FOUNDATIONS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS TO MOVE HOMELESS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AND LINKING THEM TO THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO RECOVER AND REJOIN SOCIETY. OUTREACH WORK BEGAN SEPTEMBER 1, 2018 WITH AMERICORPS VOLUNTEERS VISITING THE SUMMERLAND CAMP TO CONVERSE WITH THE UNSHELTERED PEOPLE, TO FIND THEM MEDICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP - OR RELOCATION. ADDITIONALLY, HEAL THE OCEAN ADVOCATED IN OCTOBER 2018 FOR THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO INCLUDE WATER QUALITY ISSUES IN THE HOMELESS PLATFORM. LEGISLATING FOR WATER QUALITY IN RELATION TO HOMELESSNESS HELPS TAP FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDING FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES - HELPING HOMELESS CAMPS MOVE OUT FROM WATERSHEDS AND REDUCING POLLUTION WHILE IMPROVING WATER QUALITY. D) CONFETTI POLLUTION OF STORMDRAINS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO HEAL THE OCEAN TOOK UP THE ISSUE OF STORMWATER PERMIT VIOLATIONS WITH THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA CREEKS DIVISION DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLED POLLUTION THAT OCCURS FROM CONFETTI DURING CITY PARADES AND FESTIVALS. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE CITY TO CONTRACT FOR THE COVERING OF STORM DRAINS DURING THESE SUMMER FESTIVITIES, FIESTA AND SUMMER SOLSTICE, AND THE SWEEPING UP OF STREETS, GUTTERS, AND SIDEWALKS AFTERWARD. IN 2018 WE WORKED WITH A FELLOW NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA CREEKS DIVISION TO DEVELOP PUBLIC OUTREACH MATERIALS INCLUDING FLYERS, DIGITAL POSTS FOR FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM, AND POSTCARDS TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE IMPORTANCE OF AVOIDING THE USE OF CONFETTI DURING CITY CELEBRATIONS. V. BEACH CLEANUPS: A) EF INTERNATIONAL BEACH CLEANUP. HEAL THE OCEAN RUNS A VOLUNTARY BEACH CLEANUP PROGRAM, WHEREIN STUDENTS CAN SIGN UP FOR A BEACH TO CLEAN, UNDER SUPERVISION OF THEIR TEACHERS, RECEIVE A FREE HEAL THE OCEAN T-SHIRT, THEN CLEAN A BEACH AND REPORT TO US WHAT THEY PICK UP. THESE REPORTS ARE PUBLISHED IN HEAL THE OCEAN NEWSLETTERS AND E-LETTERS. IN 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN COLLABORATED FOR THE 3RD YEAR IN A ROW WITH EF INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN A MASSIVE CLEANUP OF 10 BEACHES BETWEEN GOLETA AND SUMMERLAND. THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY (350 BEACH CLEANERS) TACKLED THE PROJECT ON APRIL 12, 2018, AS PART OF EF INTERNATIONAL'S "EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY" CAMPAIGN. TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED, HEAL THE OCEAN AND LA CUMBRE FEED (A LOCAL ANIMAL FEED STORE) PARTNERED TO COLLECT AND REUSE HORSE FEED BAGS FOR BEACH CLEANUPS RATHER THAN SINGLE USE PLASTIC TRASH BAGS. HEAL THE OCEAN COLLECTED AND REUSED OVER 300 HORSE FEED BAGS FOR BEACH CLEANUPS IN 2018. B) MONTECITO DEBRIS FLOW BEACH CLEANUPS. ALTHOUGH CONCERNED CITIZENS COULDN'T GET NEAR THE HAZARDOUS PILES OF DEBRIS THAT HAD WASHED DOWN TO THE BEACHES DURING THE CATASTROPHIC STORM AND MUDSLIDE EVENT ON JANUARY 9, 2018, MANY WANTED TO HELP RIGHT AWAY IN SOME WAY - AND SO THEY WENT TO BEACHES TO PICK UP TRASH THAT HAD WASHED DOWN TO THE BEACH DURING THE FLOW. VOLUNTEERS FOUND PLASTIC ITEMS, CAR PARTS, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE. HEAL THE OCEAN HANDED OUT NUMEROUS RE-USABLE GLOVES AND REUSABLE BAGS TO PEOPLE WHO REACHED OUT TO OUR OFFICE. VI. DOG BAG PROGRAM: A) HEAL THE OCEAN RAISED $24,000 IN 2018 TO SEND TO BOTH THE COUNTY AND CITY OF SANTA BARBARA TO PAY FOR 100% COMPOSTABLE DOG BAGS THAT ARE DISPENSED IN COUNTY/CITY DOG BAG DISPENSERS. WE RAISED OVER $20,000 THROUGH OUR DISPENSER SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM AND FROM DIRECT DOGGY BAG DONATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE.

	HEAL THE OCEAN HIRES ENGINEERS, EXPERTS, RESEARCHERS AND SCIENTISTS, LAWYERS, GIS MAPPERS AND UNIVERSITY LABORATORIES TO PRODUCE REPORTS AND TO GIVE US TEST RESULTS AS WELL AS BLUEPRINTS FOR WWTPS. WE HAVE FACILITATED STATE GRANTS FOR WASTEWATER FACILITIES TO UPGRADE TO RECYCLED WATER. WE PERFORM COST FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR UPGRADED WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT METHODS. WE HAVE CONDUCTED DNA TESTS IN WATERSHEDS AND NOW COORDINATE WITH UNIVERSITY (UCSB BREN SCHOOL) MICROBIOLOGY LABS. WE WORK WITH CITY, COUNTY AND STATE AGENCIES TO INITIATE NEW PROGRAMS OF WASTEWATER UPGRADE.OUR APPROACH TO SOLVING ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IS UNIQUE IN THAT WE WORK WITH (NOT AGAINST) COUNTIES, CITIES, AGENCIES, WASTEWATER AND WATER DISTRICTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH MORE SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY. WE ADVOCATE FOR RATE INCREASES WHERE NEEDED, AND ALSO ACCESS STATE FUNDS TO HELP UPGRADE WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND/OR HELP HOMEOWNERS TO CONVERT FROM SEPTIC SYSTEMS TO PUBLIC WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. WE HAVE SERVED ON THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (IRWM) STEERING COMMITTEE SINCE 2010, AND IN THIS CAPACITY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR PROJECTS THAT LEAD TO WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADE.I. SEPTIC SYSTEMS:1) SOUTH COAST BEACH COMMUNITIES SEPTIC-TO-SEWERS. IN 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN CONTINUED EFFORTS TO PULL IN THE LAST 3 SEPTIC SYSTEMS HOLDOUTS WHO HAVE NOT CONNECTED TO THE PUBLIC SEWER BUILT AS PART OF THE SOUTH COAST BEACH COMMUNITIES SEPTIC-TO-SEWER PROJECT, WHICH, WHEN FINISHED ON SEPT. 4, 2014, RESULTED IN 7 MILES OF BEACH (172 HOMES) BEING RID OF SEPTIC SYSTEMS IN AREAS OF SAND AND HIGH GROUNDWATER. THE 3 PARCELS ARE ON THE VENTURA COUNTY SIDE OF THE RINCON, SO HEAL THE OCEAN CONTACTED THE LOS ANGELES REGIONAL BOARD (REGION 1) WHICH HAS JURISDICTION OVER WATER BODIES IN VENTURA. AFTER URGING THE LOS ANGELES REGIONAL BOARD TO TAKE ACTION, THE BOARD ISSUED A "REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE OR TECHNICAL REPORT FOR CONNECTING TO MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWER FOR THE SEPTIC SYSTEM AND RESIDENCE" AT RINCON. WE EXPECT TO SEE THE FINAL THREE HOMES CONNECT TO PUBLIC SEWER IN 2019 AS A RESULT OF THIS BOARD ORDER.2) TMDL WAIVERS. THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD GAVE NOTICE TO HEAL THE OCEAN IN FEBRUARY 2018 THAT IT WAS PLANNING TO APPROVE 5-YEAR WAIVERS & TMDL (TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD) LIST AMENDMENTS TO EXTEND TIMELINES FOR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AS OUTLINED IN THE REGULATIONS UNDER AB 885, THE SEPTIC SYSTEM LAW AUTHORED BY THEN-ASSEMBLYWOMAN HANNAH-BETH JACKSON IN 2000. THE REGULATIONS UNDER AB 885 WERE FOUGHT FOR BY HEAL THE OCEAN AND HEAL THE BAY IN 2012. ON APRIL 5, 2018, OUR TWO ORGANIZATIONS REGISTERED OUR OBJECTIONS TO MANY OF THE PROPOSED NEW DEADLINES FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR SEPTIC SYSTEMS OPERATING IN WATERS IDENTIFIED AS POLLUTED FROM ONSITE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM (OWTS). ON FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2018, JUST FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE STATE BOARD HEARING ON APRIL 17, WE RECEIVED AN ENTIRELY NEW STAFF REPORT THAT INCORPORATED CHANGES THAT ADDRESSED NEARLY ALL OUR CONCERNS. 3) BEACH CLUB ROAD SEPTIC-TO-SEWER. BEACH CLUB ROAD IS AN ENCLAVE OF 28 HOMES WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SOUTH COAST BEACH COMMUNITIES SEPTIC-TO-SEWER PROJECT, LOCATED ON THE OCEAN AND IN A CREEK AREA WITH HIGH GROUNDWATER. THOSE HOMEOWNERS PULLED BACK FROM THE BIGGER PROJECT WITH LEGAL FIGHTS BROKE OUT, BUT WERE STILL INCLUDED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS, AND AS SUCH, ARE STILL COVERED BY CEQA IF THEY WERE TO HOOK UP TO THE PUBLIC SEWER SYSTEM. IN 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN RESUMED COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY REGARDING CONVERSION FROM SEPTIC TO SEWER. HEAL THE OCEAN HAS DEVELOPED AN OUTREACH PLAN TO COMMUNICATE THE HOMEOWNERS AND WORKING TO SET UP INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS WITH THE CARPENTARIA SANITARY DISTRICT.4) SANTA YNEZ HORIZON/STADIUM SEPTIC-TO-SEWER PROJECT. IN 2017 HEAL THE OCEAN HIRED DUDEK ENVIRONMENTAL TO SUBMIT A PROJECT PROPOSAL TO THE STATE FOR A LOW-INTERESTING REVOLVING LOAN TO HELP PAY FOR A $6 MILLION SEPTIC-TO-SEWER PROJECT FOR 450+ HOMES OVERLYING A GROUNDWATER BASIN USED FOR DRINKING WATER. IN 2018, MANY HOMEOWNERS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC SEWER SYSTEM. II. UPGRADING WASTEWATER TO RECYCLED WATER:IN 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN CONTINUED EDUCATING, RESEARCHING, ADVOCATING AND FACILITATING THE ADVANCEMENT OF TURNING WASTE(D) WATER INTO RECYCLED WATER. WHEN PROPOSITION 1 FUNDING BECAME AVAILABLE FOR FACILITIES PLANNING GRANTS TO CONVERT WWTPS TO RECYCLED WATER PLANTS, WE APPROACHED THE FOLLOWING WATER/WASTEWATER DISTRICTS TO PARTICIPATE: A) GOLETA POTABLE REUSE FACILITIES PLAN: HEAL THE OCEAN HELPED ESTABLISH A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN GOLETA WATER DISTRICT (GWD), GOLETA SANITARY DISTRICT TO WORK WITH RMC WATER & ENVIRONMENT, SANTA MONICA, TO DEVELOP A GRANT APPLICATION FOR A POTABLE REUSE FACILITIES PLAN. THE DRAFT PLAN WAS FINISHED IN MAY 2017, WENT THROUGH PUBLIC REVIEW IN JUNE. WHEN COMPLETED, THE PROJECT WILL ADD 2,000 ACRE FEET PER YEAR OF "DROUGHT-PROOF" WATER SUPPLY TO GOLETA. B) SANTA YNEZ RECYCLED WATER FACILITIES PLAN: HEAL THE OCEAN ALSO BROUGHT RMC WATER TO THE SANTA YNEZ COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT (SYCSD) TO HELP THE DISTRICT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A FACILITIES PLANNING GRANT FOR A RECYCLED WATER FACILITY. THE PLAN WAS FINISHED IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD. C) CITY OF SANTA BARBARA ONE WATER: CITY OF SANTA BARBARA APPEALED TO HEAL THE OCEAN IN 2017 FOR HELP WITH EDUCATION OF BOTH PUBLIC AND CITY COUNCIL ON THE CONCEPT OF "ONE WATER" - A PLAN TO UPGRADE ITS RECYCLED WATER PLANT TO HIGHEST PROCESSING LEVEL, PIPE TO LAURO RESERVOIR TO BE MIXED WITH DESALINATED WATER, AS WELL AS OTHER WATER SOURCES (CACHUMA), THEN THE ONE-WATER MIX WOULD BE TREATED IN THE DECATUR WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE CITY. IN 2018 HEAL THE OCEAN APPROACHED THE CITY WATER COMMISSION WITH THE IDEA OF RENAMING THE EL ESTERO WASTEWATER PLANT TO REFLECT ITS ROLE AS A WATER RESOURCES FACILITY. IN EARLY 2019 EL ESTERO WWTP WAS RENAMED EL ESTERO WATER RESOURCE CENTER. THIS DEMONSTRATES TO THE COMMUNITY THAT THE WASTEWATER PLANT IS A FOCAL POINT IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FOR SANTA BARBARA. D) MONTECITO SANITARY DISTRICT. HEAL THE OCEAN APPEARED BEFORE A BOARD MEETING OF THE MONTECITO SANITARY DISTRICT TO LEND 100% SUPPORT FOR THE DISTRICT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A RECYCLED WATER PROJECT THAT WILL INSTALL ON MSD PROPERTY A MICRO PULSE FLOW REVERSE OSMOSIS SKID. IDE TECHNOLOGY, BUILDER OF DESALINATION PLANTS AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATIONS AROUND THE WORLD (AND WHICH REBUILT THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA'S CHARLES E. MEYER DESALINATION PLANT) - WILL BUILD THE MSD PROJECT, WHICH, WHEN FINISHED, WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 6,400 GALLONS PER DAY OF TITLE 22+ RECYCLED WATER FOR ONSITE REUSE BY THE DISTRICT. TITLE 22 "PLUS" IS A BETTER QUALITY THAN STANDARD "PURPLE PIPE" WATER, AND MSD PLANS TO TEST THE WATER ON LANDSCAPING - FLOWERS, LAWNS, HEDGES - AT THE SANTA BARBARA CEMETERY. HEAL THE OCEAN HAS WORKED FOR YEARS ON WAYS TO HELP MSD GET TOGETHER WITH MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT ON A JOINT STATE-SUPPORTED PROJECT TO UPGRADE THE MSD WASTEWATER PLANT TO A RECYCLED WATER PLANT, TO PRODUCE WATER FOR IRRIGATION (AND THEREBY SAVING HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF POTABLE WATER FOR ITS INTENDED USE). E) COASTAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGE. HEAL THE OCEAN RELEASED A STUDY OF COASTAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGES IN SEPTEMBER 2018. THE INVENTORY OF MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGES TO CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATER BODIES, AN ONLINE INTERACTIVE STUDY THAT DOCUMENTS THE 417 BILLION GALLONS OF TREATED MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER DISCHARGED AT FIFTY-SEVEN COASTAL LOCATIONS. THE STUDY, LED BY PROJECT MANAGER JAMES HAWKINS, MPP, INVOLVED A MULTIYEAR EFFORT TO COLLECT, REVIEW, AND ANALYZE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL VOLUME OF TREATED MUNICIPAL EFFLUENT DISCHARGED TO CALIFORNIA'S COASTAL WATER BODIES. HEAL THE OCEAN ESTIMATES THAT THE REUSE OF 85 PERCENT OF THESE COASTAL DISCHARGES COULD MEET ALMOST 30 PERCENT OF WATER NEEDS FOR CALIFORNIA'S COASTAL CITIES. IN THE SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENCY AND TO HELP ADVANCE THE STATE'S WATER POLICY EFFORTS, HEAL THE OCEAN RELEASED ITS DATABASE OF DISCHARGERS AND FLOW DATA THAT FORMS THE BASIS OF THE STUDY. D) BRINE WASTE. IN 2017 HEAL THE OCEAN PUBLISHED A WHITE PAPER ON BRINE WASTE ("ISSUES, DISPOSAL, AND REDUCTION") WHICH LAYS OUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF 100% RECYCLING - THE LEFTOVER SLUDGE FROM DESALINATION AND WATER RECYCLING. THE BRINE WASTE PAPER PRESENTS INFORMATION ON HOW BRINE WASTE IS CREATED AND THE PROBLEMS OF DISPOSAL, AND ALSO TELLS HOW HOMEOWNERS CAN DO THEIR PART TO REDUCE BRINE (DON'T USE WATER SOFTENERS, WHICH ADD TONS OF CHLORIDE SALTS TO THE WASTEWATER STREAM). IN 2018 THIS INFORMATIONAL PUBLICATION WAS CIRCULATED TO RECYCLED WATER AGENCIES.
