Health Dept. Reports Ocean Waters Clean; Backbays 'Traditional'

By GREGG LAWSON , CREST HAVEN - The county Health Department's recreational water monitoring program is in its fifth week, and so far no ocean sites have recorded

unacceptable levels of fecal coliform bacteria. "We're just really pleased that things have been going as well as they have been so far." said Public Health Coordinator Louis J. Lamanna. Some traditional problem spots in the Delaware Bay and back bays have recorded above the standard of 200 MPN (Most Probable Number) and Lamanna said those areas have been posted noswimming for the summer. One high count was recorded in the canal by Urie's restaurant in Wildwood (see chart). After a testing of 350. a retest showed a count of 130. "At this point we're satisfied the area is okay," Lamanna said. Lamanna emphasized that one reading over 200 MPN does not necessarily indicate a problem. Two consecutive readings over 200 MPN are required to close beaches or post swimming areas. Other high counts were detected in North Wildwood at Maryland and Chestnut avenues (240), Hoffman Canal Pumping Station at 10th Avenue (540) and Otten's Canal (350). Retesting on June 11 showed Maryland and Chestnut stayed at 540 MPN, with the other two sites and two ajoining sites with in acceptable limits ranging from 11 MPN to 130 MPN. A third test at Maryland and Chestnut brought a reading of 70 MPN. "We had to post these areas last week," Lamanna said. "As I understand it, counts are down to 70 now and they can lift the signs." Lamanna said those sites aren't really swimming areas, but... "It's a hack hay area, it's hard to say," he said. "You never know when somebody's going to go out and dive off a dock." A traditional problem spot, near Cox Hall Creek in Lower Township, also furnished high readings. Original testing on June 9 showed a count of 350 MPN at Wildwood Avenue. A retest on June 1 1 showed a count of 540 MPN at Wildwood Avenue, and high counts at nearby Fern Road (350) and Arbor Road (both 350). A special survey conducted June 14 showed continued high readings off Wildwood Avenue (220), Arbor Road (350) and Cox Hall Creek (350). As part of the special survey, Lamanna had two northern Lower Township spots sampled, both of which tested above standards. Woodland Avenue had a reading of 240 and Maryland Avenue 540. Of two spots in Middle Township sampled June 14, one had an unacceptable level of fecal coliform Eldrige Avenue at 540 MPN. Mill Avenue tested at 110 MPN. Areas with high counts

from the June 14 test were scheduled to be resampled Monday, with results released after this newspaper's deadline. Lamanna said his department believes the high counts were mainly due to the sewage outfall line at Cox Hall Creek. "At this point, we think that's the most logical source," Lamanna said. "Also, there are a lot of dead (horshoe) crabs in the area and that means a lot of sea gulls, which could contribute." Lamanna said the Lower Township areas will soon be removed from the Ocean Quality section of the program, and grouped with back bay areas. "You talk about this being ocean water, but really it's in the bay," Lamanna said. "It's in the ocean monitoring program, but it's in the bay. We have to

redesign that, because it's not in the ocean." The Health Department samples 48 ocean sites on Monday and 92 back bay locations on Tuesday and Wednesday each week. In the event of a high sample, that area, and sites nearby, are resampled within 24 hours. As part of the department's monitoring program. and in an effort to improve recreational water quality, special emphasis is being placed on marina surveillance this year, Lamanna said. The United States Coast Guard requires that all recreational boats with toilet facilities must have an installed and operable marine sanitation device. The Health Department will increase testing of waters in and around marinas in an attempt to identify illegal discharge from boats.

Hughes Slams GOP Drug Control Plan

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Bill Hughes (D-NJ) has sharply criticized the administration's announcement of a new role for the U.S. Military in the Tight against drug trafficking. Hughes said the expanded use of military resources is likely to make a small contribution to the effort to resolve the country's growing drug crisis, but it is a totally inadequate response to this enormous problem. Meanwhile, he said, the administration continues to turn its back on programs like drug treatment, drug diversion and intelligencegathering: programs which really hold the key to a successful strategy against drugs. "THE ANNOUNCEMENT this past weekend of a new role for the U.S. armed forces in controlling the supply of drugs is just the latest evidence that the administration either doesn't really understand, or is unwilling to do what is necessary to curb the drug abuse problem," said Hughes, who chairs the House Subcommittee on crime. "While this effort certainly sounds impressive and grabs the headlines, the truth is, the administration has cut funding in the areas which experts agree are the most important for fighting drugs," he said. For instance, Hughes pointed out that federal funding for drug treatment and prevention programs this year is less than (40 million, compared to (370 million in 1981. He said funding for drug treatment programs is miniscule, considering there are an estimated 30 million illegal drug users in the U.S. "IN NEW JERSEY alone, there are some 12,000 drug addicts who want treatment but can't get it because the facilities

are not available," Hughes said. "It co6ts just a few thousand dollars a year for treatment. But those addicts who go without treatment co6t society many times more in the crimes they commit to support their drug habits, and in the costs of confining them to jail. In addition, Hughes said, the administration has refused to spend (2.7 million which Congress ap>propriated to help prevent the diversion of legal prescription drugs into the illicit market, where they are responsible for threequarters of all deaths and injuries due to drug abuse. "Controlling diversion ought to be at the top of our efforts, not the bottom," he said. Finally, he said, the administration is planning to leave vacant 27 of the 425 positions authorized for cooperative investigations in foreign countries, even though our drug intelli-gence-gathering efforts are woefully inadequate in many source countries like India, and continents like Africa.
