Extensive monitoring of shoreline waters will take place before, during, and after the inspection of the outfall.  In addition, beaches from Ballona Creek to the Manhattan Beach Pier will be closed during the inspection as an added precaution to protect public health.  Beaches will reopen as soon as bacteriological data confirm that the waters are safe.  At that time, the beach closure signs will be removed.
