I just dont get this.
So san Francisco is dumping untreated rain run off into the ocean. And because theres a chance that homeless people may be polluting that water, the epa is going to fine the city?
None of this makes any sense to me.

That rain water is nasty stuff. Whenever it rains there are signs put out at the beaches in SoCal to stay out of the ocean because the bacteria level gets crazy high from the rain water coming from the storm drains that run dozens and dozens of miles inland. Anything from the streets gets swept into those massive drain channels, so huge amounts of used needles and feces getting swept in will make the ocean water permanently unusable at the coast. India has similar issues because their sewage drains to an ocean channel and that water is horrific.
Some of it makes sense, but there is literally no infrastructure in all of California to deal with cleaning or filtering rain water.

Is that for a danger of bacteria or algae blooms?

I have a hard time believing that socal is comparable to india is the pollutants of that nature.
I by no means think the area is free of that sort of crap. But I just can't see how this is different from any other major coastal city.

It's due to crap coming from the cities. "These indicator bacteria imply the potential presence of microscopic disease-causing organisms originating from human and animal wastes" ... "The most common cause of postings is the dry weather discharge of urban runoff from storm drain systems.".

It's certainly not comparable to India, but permanent postings for high disease causing bacterial levels do exist and it is because of urban runoff caused even during the dry season.
