Prior to opening the bathing beach for operation, the operator or aquatic supervisory staff shall conduct a daily sanitary and safety survey. A sanitary and safety survey shall include, but not be limited to, a visual inspection for untreated sewage discharge, petroleum oil slick, floatable debris, medical/infectious materials or other sources of contamination as per 24 RCNY Health Code § 167.13(a)(2). All refuse (especially items such as syringes and medical refuse), garbage, and debris left on the beach or floating nearby, shall be removed and disposed of properly. The waterfront area of the beach shall be free of potholes, loose rocks, debris, glass containers, and other dangerous objects. If pollution which may potentially present a public health threat is observed, as described in 24 RCNY Health Code § 167.13(a)(2), the operator shall close the beach immediately and notify the Department for further instructions.
