This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Beach Monitoring and Notification Program Implementation Grants (CFDA 66.472) provides $236,257 to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to fund its beach monitoring and notification program for the upcoming swimming season. The key activities to be performed include monitoring water quality for pathogens at recreational beaches in Oregon, notifying the public of sample results and any health risks, issuing advisories or beach closures when water quality standards are exceeded, submitting data to the EPA, and providing opportunities for public review and comment on the program. The objective is to reduce swimmer illness by providing the public with bacteriological information to make informed decisions about which beaches to visit. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026.
