SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Beaches Environ-
mental Assessment, Cleanup, and Health Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the Nation’s beaches and coastal rec-
reational waters are a valuable public resource used
for recreation by millions of people annually;
(2) the beaches of coastal States are hosts to
many out-of-State and international visitors;
(3) tourism in coastal areas generates billions
of dollars annually;
(4) increased population and urbanization of
the watershed have contributed to the decline in the
environmental quality of coastal waters;
(5) pollution in coastal waters is not restricted
by State and other political boundaries;
(6) coastal States have different methods of
testing the quality of coastal recreation waters, pro-
viding varying degrees of protection to the public;
(7) the adoption of consistent criteria by coastal
States for monitoring and evaluating the quality of
coastal recreation waters, and notifying the public
during periods when the standards are exceeded or
predicted to be exceeded, would enhance public
health and safety; and
(8) while the adoption of such criteria will en-
hance public health and safety, exceedances of such
criteria should be addressed (for example, as part of
HR 999 RFS
gram that meets the performance criteria established
under subsection (a). The Administrator may include in
the database other information only if the information is
on exceedances of applicable water quality standards for
pathogens and pathogen indicators for coastal recreation
waters and is made available to the Administrator from
other coastal water quality monitoring programs deter-
mined to be reliable by the Administrator. The database
may provide such information through electronic links to
other databases determined to be reliable by the Adminis-
trator.
‘‘(e) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.—The Administrator
shall provide technical assistance to States, Indian tribes,
and local governments for the development of assessment
and monitoring procedures for floatable materials to pro-
tect public health and safety in coastal recreation waters.
‘‘(f) LIST OF WATERS.—Beginning not later than 18
months after the date of publication of performance cri-
teria under subsection (a), the Administrator shall main-
tain a list of discrete areas of coastal recreation waters
adjacent to beaches (or other points of access) that are
open to the public and are not subject to a program for
monitoring and notification meeting the performance cri-
teria established under subsection (a) based on informa-
tion made available to the Administrator. The list also
HR 999 RFS
shall identify discrete areas of coastal recreation waters
adjacent to beaches (or other points of access) that are
open to the public and are subject to a monitoring and
notification program meeting the performance criteria es-
tablished under subsection (a). The Administrator shall
make the list available to the public through publication
in the Federal Register and through electronic media. The
Administrator shall update the list at least annually.
‘‘(g) EPA IMPLEMENTATION.—With respect to a
State that has no program for monitoring for and notifica-
tion of exceedances of the applicable water quality stand-
ards for pathogens and pathogen indicators in coastal
recreation waters adjacent to beaches (or other points of
access) open to the public that protects public health and
safety, after the last day of the 3-year period beginning
on the date the Administrator identifies, on a list required
pursuant to subsection (f), discrete areas of coastal recre-
ation waters in the State that are not subject to a moni-
toring and notification program meeting the performance
criteria established under subsection (a), the Adminis-
trator shall conduct, subject to the conditions of sub-
section (b)(2), a monitoring and notification program for
such discrete areas using the funds appropriated for
grants under subsection (b), including salaries, expenses,
and travel.
