Us Senator Frank Lautenberg and Congressman Frank Pallone are sponsoring legislation that would require rapid water quality tests and result in more grant money so states can study where the pollution is coming from.
“This measure will provide funding to further protect our shores from pollution and improve beach water monitoring,” says Senator Frank Lautenberg.
“The Jersey Shore is an invaluable treasure and we need to keep it that way,” says Congressman Frank Pallone.
The legislation was passed by the US House of Representatives in July and passed the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in June.
