Do you think there would be any interest in having a Beach Sanitary Survey conducted on every beach on the entire US Lake Superior and/or Michigan shorelines?
BSA.1. Yes, there is interest in eventually having a sanitary survey conducted on every beach along the Great Lakes. This project is part of a three-year, three-step effort to design and implement beach sanitary surveys in Great Lakes recreational waters. The first step was to develop the final sanitary survey form and pilot-test the sanitary surveys at a Great Lakes beach. The next step was to develop grant criteria and award grants to states and/or local entities to pilot and/or implement sanitary surveys in their beach programs. The final step is to evaluate the pilot studies, publish a final beach sanitary survey, and provide technical assistance for implementing beach sanitary surveys. These surveys will eventually be published in the National Beach Guidance and Required Performance Criteria for Grants. Please be advised that applicant eligibility for Section I.A. (Beach Sanitary Survey) is limited to coastal Great Lakes state, local, provincial, and tribal beach managers who have
