- Pennsylvania Brownfields Home Page -- Excellent site from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, with a multitude of resources.
- Great Lakes Information Network -- The Great Lakes Information Network (GLIN) describes itself as a "cooperative project of agencies and organizations to provide one place for people to find information relating to the binational Great Lakes region."

The link to the Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative is useful more for the information about the initiative than for the text, since it is not word searchable. If you want to search the text, use the search engine at the Federal Register site. Also links to the Great Lakes Toxic Substances Control Agreement and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
