Milwaukee Riverkeeper Comments on Permitting and Policy

Dear Senator:
We urge you to support S. 878, the Clean Coastal Environment and Public Health Act, introduced by Senators Lautenberg and Voinovich, which will help ensure the safety of U.S. beaches by enhancing the capacity of local beachwater monitoring and public notification programs, authorizing use of funding for identifying and cleaning up sources of pollution, and improving standards for timely public notification of contaminated beachwaters.
