The Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 awarded the Texas General Land Office a $386,000 project grant under the Beach Monitoring and Notification Program Implementation Grants (CFDA 66.472) beginning September 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant funds the recipient's beach monitoring program for the upcoming swimming season, including meeting performance criteria to remain eligible for beach grants under the Federal Beach Act. Specifically, the grant will support bacteria monitoring at designated recreational beaches in nine Texas counties to test water quality and notify the public when bacteria thresholds are exceeded. The sub-awardee County of Nueces will collect and analyze water samples from beaches in its county as part of this effort. The anticipated outcomes are submission of water quality data and public notifications to the EPA, along with an annual summary report. The program aims to reduce swimmer illness by informing the public about water quality so they can make safe decisions on beach attendance.
