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 $542,381 to fund the State of California Water Resources Control Board's beach water quality monitoring and public notification program. The award supports monitoring water quality for pathogens at recreational beaches in California, notifying the public of sample results and health risks, and issuing advisories or beach closures as needed. The program aims to reduce swimmer illness by empowering the public with information to make informed decisions about beach attendance. The grant funds will be used to conduct water quality testing and public notification activities, with sub-awards to environmental health agencies in Los Angeles and San Diego counties to carry out these efforts locally. The anticipated deliverables include water quality data submissions, public notification records, and an annual summary report. The grant term is from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2026.
