data exchange description
Under the BEACH Act (Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act), grant recipients are required to submit beach notification data to EPA. This data exchange allows for the reporting of beach meta data, contact information, and beach advisory and closing data. Please note that the resources for the Beach Notification data exchange deal only with the notification data elements required by EPA for BEACH Act Grants. There is a separate submission process for reporting beach monitoring data for BEACH Act Grants.
