Dave - Do you have access to information on the smaller systems? As I vaguely recall, in the early 1990s Orange County did a fairly sophisticated study of various systems from large to small scale. They were interested in cost/ benefit associated with scale.

I am having a hard time figuring out why the nearshore (or any, for that matter) estuarine or open ocean ecosystem would be affected so long as treated gray water is recovered and discharged (and I realize that many areas are not set up to do this) and salts are not disposed of in the ocean. I doubt that anyone would want to do nearshore draws because of excess particulates, but I suppose someone might try it.
