Definition: In this task, you are given text for US Congressional and California state bills, your task is to generate a summary for this bill.
Input: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Twice since 1989, the northwestern coast of Maui,
Hawaii, has been plagued with massive blooms of the green alga,
Cladorphora sericea. Blooms of the red alga, Hypnea
musciformis, have also occurred in the area and in the Kihei
area.
(2) The algal blooms have destroyed corals and other reef-
building organisms, and have washed up on beaches and severely
impeded the recreational use of affected coastal areas.
(3) The algal blooms are particularly detrimental to the
natural ecological balance of the near-shore reef environment.
(4) Although the specific causes of the algal blooms are
uncertain, algal growth is stimulated in a proportional manner
by concentrations of chemicals such as fertilizers and
insecticides, which enter the ocean through freshwater runoff.
(5) The Department of Health of the State of Hawaii has
indicated that the department does not have the resources at
this time to determine the cause of the algal blooms.
(6) Extensive research will be required to determine the
factors that contribute to algal growth.
(7) Potential sources of nutrients that may contribute to
algal growth include the near-shore disposal of sewage in
injection wells from the Lahaina Wastewater Treatment Plant,
surface runoff from agricultural lands and urban resort areas,
and subsurface point sources in the areas.
(8) The long-term environmental impacts of the algal blooms
are unknown, but in the short term, reefs exposed to the algae
are being destroyed and the deterioration of the coral has
detrimental effects on fish and other wildlife that depend on
the reefs for survival.
(9) The algal blooms are generating negative economic
impacts as well as negative biological impacts, as additional
reports indicate that the algae are decreasing the intake of
fish caught by local fishermen in the affected marine waters.
(10) The Maui Algae Task Force is comprised of community
environmental activists and has been assembled to address the
problem of algal blooms.
(11) The Maui Algae Task Force hopes to work in cooperation
with the Department of Health of the State of Hawaii and the
Environmental Protection Agency to identify and eradicate the
causes of the algal blooms.

SEC. 2. STUDY.

(a) In General.--The Administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency (hereafter in this Act referred to as the ''Administrator'')
shall conduct a study to--
(1) determine the causes of recent algal blooms off the
northwestern coast of Maui, Hawaii; and
(2) research alternatives for the improved management of
chemicals present in wastewater treatment and fresh water
runoff.
(b) Study Requirements.--In carrying out the study under this
section, the Administrator shall--
(1) survey and monitor--
(A) seaweed populations and animals for which the
seaweed is a food source;
(B) surface water runoff sediments in the study
area; and
(C) inputs into the study area from subsurface
point sources, including any such inputs from the
Lahaina wastewater treatment plant; and
(2) study the responses of--
(A) the seaweed populations referred to in
paragraph (1)(A) to different concentrations of
nutrients; and
(B) the animals referred to in paragraph (1)(A) to
pesticides and other biological toxins.
(c) Equipment; Grants.--
(1) Acquisition of equipment.--In carrying out the study
under this section, the Administrator is authorized to acquire
such monitoring and testing equipment as the Administrator
determines necessary.
(2) Grants.--In carrying out the study under this section,
the Administrator is authorized to establish a grant program to
provide grants to eligible entities that submit approved
applications to the Administrator. The following entities may
submit an application to conduct study activities under this
section:
(A) The Department of Health of the State of
Hawaii.
(B) The Maui Algae Task Force.
(C) Appropriate Federal, State, or county
departments or agencies.
(D) Any other entity that the Administrator
determines to be appropriate.
(d) Demonstration Projects.--In carrying out the study under this
section, the Administrator is authorized to establish demonstration
projects to identify and implement best management practices for the
control of nonpoint source pollution from erosion and agricultural
runoff.
(e) Reports.--
(1) Interim report.--Not later than 1 year after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to
Congress a report that includes interim results of the study
conducted under this section, and such recommendations as the
Administrator determines to be appropriate.
(2) Final report.--Not later than January 31, 1996, the
Administrator shall submit to Congress a final report that
summarizes the results of the study conducted under this
section and includes such recommendations as the Administrator
determines to be appropriate.
(f) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated to the Environmental Protection Agency to carry out this
section $500,000 for each of fiscal years 1994 and 1995.
Output:
Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to study and report to the Congress on the causes of recent algal blooms off the northwestern coast of Maui, Hawaii, and to research alternatives for the improved management of chemicals present in wastewater treatment and fresh water runoff.
Authorizes the Administrator to establish: (1) a grant program to enable eligible entities to conduct study activities; and (2) demonstration projects to implement best management practices for the control of nonpoint source pollution from erosion and agricultural runoff.
Authorizes appropriations.
