- Hazardous Waste Characteristics Scoping Study
- This report presents information on environmental contamination resulting from the management of non-hazardous wastes. This information was collected as part of a larger effort to identify potential gaps in the hazardous waste characteristics under RCRA, known as the "Hazardous Waste Characteristics Scoping Study." EPA reviewed many different sources of data, including data on hundreds of facilities that manage non-hazardous wastes, to identify the 123 case studies included in this report.
- R.S. Kerr Environmental Resource Center
- Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) Homepage
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes National Program was created in 1978 to oversee U.S. activities in fulfilling the goal "to restore and maintain the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the Great Lakes Basin ecosystem" as agreed by the United States and Canada in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1972. Their work focuses on contaminated sediments, pollution prevention, virtual elimination of toxic substances and the Ecological Protection and Restoration Program. They operate the Research Vessel Lake Guardian to collect environmental monitoring information about the lakes.

- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA)
- The Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL) of NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) are headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland. The mission of ERL is to conduct an integrated program of fundamental research, technology development, and services to improve understanding of the Earth and its oceans and inland waters, the lower and upper atmosphere, and the space environment. A major thrust of ERL's research is to develop the scientific understanding to improve NOAA environmental services to the public. These services provide the basis for making informed decisions and policies regarding the environment.
- Resources For The Future (RFF)
- Resources For The Future (RFF) is an independent nonprofit organization engaged in research and public education on natural resource and environmental issues. Its mission is to create and disseminate knowledge that helps people make better decisions about the conservation and use of their natural resources and the environment.
- ChemCenter
- ChemCenter is a new WWW site initiated by the American Chemical Society. ChemCenter combines information already available from the ACS home page with new access to ACS journals and magazines; databases from ACS's Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in Columbus, Ohio; and a host of other on-line services geared to serve students, educators, industry professionals, and just about anyone else with a need for information about chemistry or the chemical world.

- Water Resources Data System
- The Water Resources Data System is a clearinghouse of hydrological and climatological data for the State of Wyoming. This site includes the "Wyoming Water Bibliography", a compendium of 13,000+ citations dealing with Wyoming Water Resources, searchable by keyword, geographic area, author, and title. It includes documents from over 500 different source agencies as well.

- Directory of Environmental Resources on the Internet
- The Directory of Environmental Resources on the Internet provides listings and links to useful on-line resources pertaining to environmental issues. While the Directory is primarily intended for environmental professionals, almost anybody with an interest in the environment will find it useful. This Directory provides information on public agencies, private companies, other organizations, environmental software, legislation, and activities.
