Summary

Clean Coastal Environment and Public Health Act of 2009 - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to specify in performance criteria for monitoring and assessing coastal recreation waters adjacent to beaches or similar points of interest (waters) available methods for monitoring protocols that are most likely to detect pathogenic contamination. Requires coastal recreation water quality monitoring and notification programs to include monitoring consistent with such criteria, public notification, source tracking, sanitary surveys, and prevention efforts to address identified sources of contamination by pathogens and pathogen indicators in such waters that are used by the public. Authorizes appropriations: (1) for grants to states and local governments for developing and implementing monitoring and notification programs for FY2007-FY2013; and (2) to implement the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000 through FY2013. Revises requirements applicable to state recipients of monitoring and notification program grants, including to require such recipients to identify: (1) the use of a rapid testing method to detect levels of pathogens or pathogen indicators that are harmful to human health; (2) measures for communicating any exceeding of applicable water quality standards for pathogens and pathogen indicators to specified officials within two hours of the receipt of the results of a water sample; (3) measures to ensure that closures or advisories are made within two hours after the receipt of a water quality sample that exceeds such standards; and (4) measures that inform the public of identified sources of pathogenic contamination. . Requires the EPA to: (1) prepare an annual assessment of the compliance of state and local governments with program requirements; (2) commence a study of the formula for the distribution of program grants; (3) update within 12 months after this Act's enactment and biennially thereafter (currently, periodically) the list indicating which coastal recreation waters adjacent to beaches used by the public are, and which of such waters are not, subject to a monitoring and notification program; and (4) study and report to Congress on the long-term impact of climate change on pollution of coastal recreation waters.
