Clean Beaches Initiative Projects - Task Force

The Clean Beaches Task Force (CBTF) was officially formed when AB 2534 (Chapter 727, Statutes of 2002) appropriated an additional $46 million from the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 (Proposition 40) to the Clean Beaches Initiative (CBI) Grant Program. AB 2534 required the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) to appoint a CBTF that represents the “breadth and diversity” of California’s coastal communities. The CBTF is a blue ribbon panel, selected from local agencies, environmental advocacy groups, academia, government, and scientific research organizations. The CBTF assists the State Water Board in reviewing CBI project proposals, as well as evaluating the success of the projects, and identifying critical beach water quality research needs.

The State Water Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-2021 on June 5, 2012, which reappointed CBTF members for a term from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2016. The CBTF did not meet between August 2008 and February 2012.
