The Charles County Department of Health has received results for the sampling that occurred along the shoreline of the Potomac River from Swan Point to Cobb Point on July 6, 2023.  The sample results are within acceptable limits for recreational use.  

We will be taking more samples on Monday, July 10, 2023. Once we receive those results, we will report those to our community.  Until the results from the sampling event on Monday are received, we are keeping our advisory in place for swimming and recreational contact use along the identified area of the Charles County shoreline.  This advisory has been issued out of an abundance of caution.

The shellfish harvesting advisory/closure remains in effect and is only applicable to shellfish harvesting activities.
