This Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1, totaling $245,600, will fund the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to implement beach water quality monitoring and public notification efforts under the Beach Monitoring and Notification Program Implementation Grants (CFDA 66.472) from October 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The Department will collect water samples from designated recreational beaches in Massachusetts to test for bacteriological water quality. It will notify the public when waters exceed applicable standards or are deemed safe for swimming, in order to reduce health risks from contaminated water and protect bathers. This work supports the grant program's goal of developing and implementing coastal and Great Lakes beach water quality programs.
