SUMMARY
GREAT LAKES BEACH CLOSING SURVEY - 1996
The purpose of this report is to inform the public and it's policy makers of the continuing impact
of pollution on the bathing beaches on the U.S. coast of the Great Lakes.
Content summary
The overall data reported from year to year have always fluctuated to a certain extent. This year
the total number of beaches reported rose by 15, from 576 to 581. The number monitored
increased from 319 to 323. The total number of beaches closed or restricted at least once during
the swimming season declined from 66 to 60.
The number of closings recorded for Illinois increased from 2 to 17, when the Chicago Park
District closed 16 beaches for two days as a precautionary measure.. Indiana increased both
beaches reported and monitored when the Michigan City Park and Recreation Department added
four more beaches. Michigan beaches monitored went from 117 to 112. Minnesota remained
unchanged. In New York the numbers remained essentially the same. The number of beach
closings in Ohio went from 20 to 11.. Pennsylvania beach closings dropped from 9 to 2.
Wisconsin increased the number of beaches monitored from 21 to 37, back to where it was the
prior year (primarily due to Door County reporting that 14 beaches are monitored on a complaint
basis).
Format Changes
Starting with the 1995 report, several format changes have been made to enhance the usefulness
of report and to reduce the amount of paper required.
The table showing Summary by State has been redesigned to show the same information as in
prior reports but with many less pages. The summary by Lake now includes County totals as well
as the State totals formerly shown.
The Map section has been redrawn increasing the clarity. To improve continuity, connecting
channels are now displayed on the same map as an associated lake. There are separate maps for:
1) number of beaches reported, 2) number of beaches monitored, and 3) the number of beaches
closed or restricted during the year, plus those closed permanently are shown in parenthesis.
The Respondents section has undergone an updating and is now presented in a table format.
When a County Report shows a change in the number of beaches reported, an opening paragraph
1

-------
has been added to identify the addition, deletion or change which has taken place. The numerical
designation of individual beaches are permanent and remain consistent with prior years usage.
In reference to the survey question 2 ."Water quality monitoring program?", a response of
"Monitored on a complaint basis" is considered to be a 'yes', unless the respondent further
specifically states there is no monitoring.
The number of beaches closed during the current year does not include those beaches which are
reported as closed permanently. Permanently closed beaches are counted separately.
