Who developed the Great Lakes Beach sanitary survey tool?
The Agency initiated a three-year, three-step effort to design and implement beach sanitary surveys in Great Lakes recreational waters. The effort involved: • Developing the final sanitary survey form, and beta-testing the sanitary surveys at a Great Lakes beach; • Developing grant criteria and awarding grants to states to pilot-implement sanitary surveys into their beach programs; and • Evaluating pilot studies, publishing a final beach sanitary survey, and providing technical assistance for implementing beach sanitary surveys.
