Wisconsin Great Lakes Restoration Grants To Reduce Bacteria Levels

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded two Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grants, totaling over $1 million, to improve water quality at Great Lakes beaches in Wisconsin. Projects awarded grant funding include:

• $1 million (two grants of $500,000 each) to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh to redesign eight Wisconsin beaches to reduce bacteria levels, resulting in fewer swimming bans and beach closures. The beaches are: Red Arrow Park Beach, Marinette; Crescent Beach, Algoma; Red Arrow Park Beach, Manitowoc; Thompson West End Park, Washburn; Grant Park, South Milwaukee; Samuel Myers Park, Racine; and Simmons Island and Eichelman Parks, Kenosha.
