(Santa Ana, CA) – The OC Health Care Agency’s Environmental Health Division has closed the open coastal area from 1,500 feet upcoast of the Salt Creek to 1,500 feet downcoast of the Salt Creek in Dana Point. The spill of approximately 3,375 gallons was caused by a breakage in a main lift station sewer line, now repaired. Out of an abundance of caution, the affected ocean water area will remain closed to swimming, surfing, and diving until the results of follow-up water quality monitoring meet acceptable standards.
