The Environmental Division will be implementing a survey of Lake Erie Streams west of Presque Isle State Park. The streams will be sampled once each week during the time that the beaches are available for swimming. This is a continuation of the survey that began last year. The streams are being sampled for E. coli bacteria concentrations. E. coli is the indicator specified in the Commonwealth Public Bathing Place regulations that determine whether a beach remains open for swimming.
