  • Michigan 27Th in Beachwater Quality 15% of Samples Exceeded National Standards in 2010
    MIchIgan 27th in Beachwater Quality 15% of samples exceeded national standards in 2010 Polluted urban and suburban runoff is a major threat to water quality at the nation’s coastal beaches. Runoff from storms and irrigation carries pollution from parking lots, yards, and streets directly to waterways. In some parts of the country, stormwater routinely causes overflows from sewage systems. Innovative solutions known as green infrastructure enable communities to naturally absorb or use runoff before it causes problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is modernizing its national rules for sources of runoff pollution and should develop strong, green infrastructure-based requirements. Michigan has more than 600 public beaches stretching along more than 600 miles of Great Lakes coastline. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) administers the state’s BEACH Act grant. Monitoring Results Key FIndIngS In MIchIgan In 2010, Michigan reported 632 coastal beaches (including 35 National Park Service beaches), 11 (2%) of Beachwater contamination which were monitored more than once a week, 199 (31%) (% of samples exceeding state standards in 2010) • Brimley State Park in Chippewa County (49%) once a week, 400 (63%) were not monitored, and there • St. Clair Shores Blossom Heath Beach in was no monitoring frequency information for 22 (3%) Macomb County (40%) beaches. For this section of the report, NRDC looked at • Warren Dunes Beach in Berrien County (30%) the percent of individual monitoring samples that Reported Sources of Beachwater contamination exceeded the state’s daily bacterial standard unless Statewide (number of closing/advisory days) individual samples were not reported (all reported samples • 315 (87%) unknown sources of contamination were used to calculate the 2010 percent exceedance rates, • 27 (7%) stormwater runoff including duplicate samples and samples taken outside the • 14 (4%) other sources of contamination official beach season, if any).
