Protect Great Lakes Beaches
New protection methods are underway at Great Lakes beaches this summer. The EPA has launched Beach Sanitary Survey Tools for managers of local beaches. A sanitary survey is a method of investigating the sources of contamination to a water body. The surveys will help state and local beach program managers and public health officials identify sources of beach water pollution, assess the magnitude of pollution, and identify priority locations for water testing.
