Oakland County Inland Lakes Beach Monitoring Program Project Description
A) Statement of Water Quality Concerns/Issues
Oakland County’s bathing beach water quality has been monitored for nearly 40 consecutive years by
testing for fecal coliform (until 1995) and E. coli (1995-present). The County has over 1,468 lakes
with nearly 250 designated beaches, providing recreational and bathing opportunities to thousands of
people each summer. Oakland County beaches are located in diverse landscapes ranging from rural
to urban settings, and as such, may be serviced by on-site wastewater disposal systems and
municipal sewers. Since 2005, the county has had reason to recommend closure of beaches to
swimmers 399 times on multiple lakes throughout the County due to the presence of E. coli bacteria
that exceeded water quality standards. The Health Division’s concern is for the health and safety of
its recreational bathing beach users and for the accurate and timely conveyance of sampling results
to would be swimmers. Though this is not a mandated program, Oakland County intends to continue
dedicating resources to bathing beach water quality, for the purpose of protecting and promoting
public health, to determine whether the water is safe for bathing purposes.
By enforcing 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.12541) as amended, citizens will be made aware of the
sampling efforts and the location of reported sampling results. If the water is determined to be unsafe
for bathing, the bathing beach will be closed by order or by other measures. Eight-eight (88) beaches
will be sampled each summer, 2025 and 2026. Partial funding is requested for the 2025 monitoring
season (partial funding was awarded in 2024). Full funding is requested for 2026. Appendix A
includes the beaches expected to be sampled in 2026, however, if a beach is closed or the operator
declines sampling, additional beaches will be selected from the active beaches in Beachguard. Forty-
eight (48) public beaches (36 within this grant and 12 in a qPCR grant) and 52 semi -public beaches
will be sampled between both grants. The semi-public beaches will be sampled on a minimum 5-year
rotation.
The semi-public beaches in the County are located on 125 different lakes, and, as with the public
beaches, are contained within five different watersheds. The semi -public beaches are often
subdivision or lake association beaches typically frequented by residents of a particular area. These
beaches are used by hundreds of bathers each summer and tend to be closed more often than the
public beaches. During the five-year period from 2019 – 2024, out of 174 beach closures, 115 or
66%, occurred on semi-public beaches. Sampling the semi-public beaches is important as many may
not be maintained on a regular basis. Deficiencies in maintenance would be identified during the
sanitary surveys, as they have in previous years. Sampling of the semi-public beaches would not
only help to educate the homeowners but would call attention to the importance of maintaining septic
3
systems and sewers and keeping the beaches free from debris including animal waste if sampling
results proved unsatisfactory. By identifying these problem semi-public beaches, and sampling more
frequently, Oakland County hopes to work with the homeowners’ associations, encouraging
participation in the active improvement of their beach water quality.
B) Project Goals and Objectives
Oakland County’s Inland Lakes Beach Monitoring Program has the following goals: 1) to prevent
illness associated with recreational bathing beach waters, 2) to provide accurate and timely sampling
results to the public, and 3) to protect and improve the environment. These goals will be met with the
following objectives:
A) Eighty-eight (88) beaches will be sampled under this grant each year in 2025 and 2026. Partial
funding for laboratory supplies and contractual services (conference attendance) is requested for
2025 to complement an existing, underfunded grant. Full funding is requested for 2026. Twelve (12)
beaches will be funded under an additional, qPCR grant, for 202 5/2026. Sampling will occur at each
of the season’s selected beaches at least once weekly during the 10-week bathing season and will be
consistent with sections 12541 to 12546 of Act 368, P.A. 1978 and Rules.
B) Culture-based E. coli results will be recorded and made available to the public electronically
through the State and County websites and updated on a daily basis.
C) Monitoring protocol will comply with Rule 62, of the Part 4 Administrative Rules, Water Quality
Standards, Part 31, Act 451, P.A. 1994. Waters not in compliance with these quality standards will be
immediately closed to swimmers until such time that additional samples have shown the waters to be
safe by laboratory analysis. Signage, indicating the beach is temporarily closed, will be posted at the
beach entrance and removed upon acceptable sampling results. The geometric mean results and
closures will be posted on the EGLE BeachGuard website. In addition, Oakland County will maintain
a list of seasonal beach closings and re-openings on the County website. The closed beaches will
continue to be sampled until the E. coli levels fall below the standards or the swimming season has
concluded.
C) Organization Information
Oakland County’s mission is, “To protect the community through health promotion, disease
prevention and protection of the environment.” We do this by focusing on our current strategic priority
“Protecting Environmental Health” and our vision of being “Your recognized leader in public health”.
The Health Division’s proposed bathing beach monitoring program encompasses these as well as our
values of service, education, and safety. With the help of program staff, the County has been able to
keep bathing beach sampling viable as a County program, and it remains one of our most in -demand,

Project Goals and Objectives
· The below goals and objectives are default for the program.
· Use the (+) button to add additional Goals/Objectives.
Goal Objective Describe how you intend to
accomplish this goal
Monitor beaches to protect public health. Conduct Sanitary Survey Physically inspect beach area for
potential sources of contamination
Monitor beaches to protect public health. Test beach water samples.Collect, analyze, and report e. coli results
from beach.
To prevent illness associated with
recreational bathing beach waters
Eighty-eight (88) beaches will be
sampled under this grant each year in
2025 and 2026. Partial funding for
laboratory supplies and contractual
services (conference attendance) is
requested for 2025 to complement an
existing, underfunded grant. Full funding
is requested for 2026. Twelve (12)
beaches will be funded under an
additional, qPCR grant, for 2025/2026.
Sampling will occur at each of the
season’s selected beaches at least once
weekly during the 10-week bathing
season and will be consistent with
sections 12541 to 12546 of Act 368, P.A.
1978 and Rules.
Discuss the needs/problems (pollutants, sources, and causes) to be addressed with the proposed project
Statement of Water Quality Concerns/Issues
Oakland County’s bathing beach water quality has been monitored for nearly 40 consecutive years by testing for fecal
coliform (until 1995) and E. coli (1995-present). The County has over 1,468 lakes with nearly 250 designated beaches,
providing recreational and bathing opportunities to thousands of people each summer. Oakland County beaches are
located in diverse landscapes ranging from rural to urban settings, and as such, may be serviced by on-site wastewater
disposal systems and municipal sewers. Since 2005, the county has had reason to recommend closure of beaches to
swimmers 399 times on multiple lakes throughout the County due to the presence of E. coli bacteria that exceeded water
quality standards. The Health Division’s concern is for the health and safety of its recreational bathing beach users and for
the accurate and timely conveyance of sampling results to would be swimmers. Though this is not a mandated program,
Oakland County intends to continue dedicating resources to bathing beach water quality, for the purpose of protecting and
promoting public health, to determine whether the water is safe for bathing purposes.
By enforcing 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.12541) as amended, citizens will be made aware of the sampling efforts and the
location of reported sampling results. If the water is determined to be unsafe for bathing, the bathing beach will be closed
by order or by other measures. Eight-eight (88) beaches will be sampled each summer, 2025 and 2026. Partial funding is
requested for the 2025 monitoring season (partial funding was awarded in 2024). Full funding is requested for 2026. Listed
are beaches expected to be sampled, however, if a beach is closed or the operator declines sampling, additional beaches
will be selected from the active beaches in Beachguard. Forty-nine (49) public beaches (37 within this grant and 12 in a
qPCR grant) and 51 semi-public beaches will be sampled between both grants. The semi-public beaches will be sampled
on a minimum 5-year rotation.
The semi-public beaches in the County are located on 125 different lakes, and, as with the public beaches, are contained
within five different watersheds. The semi-public beaches are often subdivision or lake association beaches typically
frequented by residents of a particular area. These beaches are used by hundreds of bathers each summer and tend to be
closed more often than the public beaches. During the five-year period from 2019 – 2024, out of 174 beach closures, 115
or 66%, occurred on semi-public beaches. Sampling the semi-public beaches is important as many may not be
maintained on a regular basis. Deficiencies in maintenance would be identified during the sanitary surveys, as they have
in previous years. Sampling of the semi-public beaches would not only help to educate the homeowners but would call
attention to the importance of maintaining septic systems and sewers and keeping the beaches free from debris including
animal waste if sampling results proved unsatisfactory. By identifying these problem semi-public beaches, and sampling
more frequently, Oakland County hopes to work with the homeowners’ associations, encouraging participation in the active
improvement of their beach water quality.
WRD Inland Lake Beach Monitoring 2025 ILBM-2025-Oakland County-1
To provide accurate and timely
sampling results to the public
Culture-based E. coli results will be
recorded and made available to the
public.
Results and beach closing statuses will
be posted on the State and County
websites and updated on a daily basis.
Closure signs will be posted directly at
beach locations.
To protect and improve the environment
Monitoring protocol will comply with Rule
62, of the Part 4 Administrative Rules,
Water Quality Standards, Part 31, Act
451, P.A. 1994. Waters not in
compliance with these quality standards
will be immediately closed to swimmers
until such time that additional samples
have shown the waters to be safe by
laboratory analysis. Signage, indicating
the beach is temporarily closed, will be
posted at the beach entrance and
removed upon acceptable sampling
results. The geometric mean results and
closures will be posted on the EGLE
BeachGuard website.
Oakland County will maintain a list of
seasonal beach closings and re-
openings on the County website. The
closed beaches will continue to be
sampled until the E. coli levels fall
below the standards or the swimming
season has concluded. Beaches with
frequent closures will be further
investigated to determine cause of
closures.
