Summary
Beaches Environmental Assessment, Closure, and Health Act of 1990 - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to direct the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to review and revise periodically ambient water quality criteria for marine recreational waters that are designated for bathing waters or primary bodily contact. Requires such criteria to assure the protection of public health and allow recreational activities in and on the water. Directs the Administrator to develop and publish guidance on consideration of floatables with respect to the closing and reopening of beaches. Defines "floatables" as plastic materials, aluminum cans, wood, bottles, and paper products that may float or remain suspended in the water. Requires each State to adopt and submit to the Administrator water quality standards for such State based on such criteria. Provides penalties for States failing to adopt such standards. Directs the Administrator to conduct an ongoing study to provide additional information for periodically revising the criteria for identifying indicators of human-specific pathogens in marine recreational waters. Requires a report to the Congress on the results of such study. Authorizes appropriations to the Administrator for FY 1991 and 1992.
