1991 Beach Survey
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 1991 Great Lakes bathing beach survey was
conducted by Baygood Research, Incorporated of Chicago,
Illinois under contract with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, Great Lakes National
Program Office. Survey questionnaires were sent to 104
agencies responsible for monitoring the water quality of
the bathing beaches in the 86 counties bordering the Great
Lakes and joining rivers. We received a 100% response by
mail from these agencies.
Because there was a span of time over three years when
the study was not conducted, this survey was done
at the same time as 1990 and 1992.
The report represents responses by the state, county
and/or city health departments responsible for or having
oversight responsibilities for national lake shore beaches.
These responses are believed to be comprehensive and
cover beaches where a majority of public bathing occurs
or has occurred in the past.
Results of the survey reflect a drop in the number of
beaches being monitored on a daily basis. The major
reason for this drop in monitoring seems to be related to
a cut in funding, however, some beaches which had been
reported closed have now been reopened due in part to
clean-up and erosion cutting measures along most of the
Great Lakes shoreline.
