Table Legend

Cell Color	Bacteria Value	Concern Level
	Individual day <= 200 CFU/100 ml	Low Concern - safe for swimming
	Individual day > 200 & <= 1000 CFU/100 ml	Moderate Concern – still safe for swimming
	Individual day > 1000 CFU/100 ml or geometric mean > 200 CFU/100 ml	High Concern – probable closure. For more information see Beach Closure Protocol
