One must be cautious not to call the San Diego sewage 'raw' or 'untreated'. It has received some treatment- just not reaching the minimum required by Clean Water Act standards of thirty five years ago!! Still, the bad guys would have a field day pointing out little things like that- so, the correct way to say it is that the City of San Diego has the last 301h sewage waiver in the state, allowing them to discharge sewage that has received only primary treatment. In other words, only partially treated. Not raw, not untreated- but definitally polluting the sea and definitally getting surfers sick. editor Sean,

How can we be the moral standard for the rest of the world when we dump untreated raw sewage right into the ocean? Please keep on monitoring this situation and thank you for getting involved.
