Good Morning Will:

I am sending this message in response to your original message (copy
found below) sent on November 9, 2008.

Some of the Data and Information that you may be seeking may be obtained
by using EPA's Beach Monitoring & Notification "Data User Corner" that
can be reached by using the following URL:

   http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/beaches/grants/datausers/index.htm#overview

Please note that these Monitoring data are stored in STORET. For
information on how this all fits together in EPA's Beaches Program,
please go to "eBeaches Data Flow Diagram" found on this Web Site.

For instructions on how to get data out of STORET, go to "g, Downloading
and Using Data from the STORET Warehouse" on:

   http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/beaches/grants/datausers/index.htm#monitor
    ; and

   http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/beaches/grants/datausers/2008/storetdata.pdf

I am not certain, but you may also find some useful information posted
on EPA's "Beach Advisory and Closing On-line Notification" (BEACON) Web
Site by using the following URL:

   http://oaspub.epa.gov/beacon/beacon_national_page.main

Finally, if you have any questions about how to download these Beach
Monitoring Data from the STORET Warehouse, I recommend that you contact
Mr. Bill Kramer (EPA's Office of Water) at (202) 566-0385, or

As a follow-up to my previous message I did find some useful 2008 data
for Lake Huron at Michigan DEQ at
http://www.great-lakes.net/beachcast/mm.html

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any data for Lake Ontario beaches
in the US here.  Can anyone provide a link to such data?

Cheers
Will Robertson

Subject: E. coli data for Great lakes beaches

Hello all

I am writing the water microbiology section of an Environmental Health
Report for Health Canada.  As part of the report I want to prepare a
summary of E. coli data for various Great Lakes' beaches.  I found 2008
daily or weekly data on the web for a number of Canadian beaches on
Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron and it would be nice to have daily or
weekly data for some American beaches.  I checked out several websites
and found suitable data for Lake Erie from Ohio
http://www.ohionowcast.info/ohionowcasthistorical.asp

Similar data for 2008 for a few other American beaches would be greatly
appreciated.
