SEC. 2. FUNDING FROM STATE REVOLVING LOAN FUND PROGRAM.

    Sections 601(a) and 603(c) of the Federal Water Pollution Control 
Act (33 U.S.C. 1381(a) and 1383(c)) are each amended--
            (1) by striking ``and'' at the end of clause (2);

        sentence the following: ``, and (4) for carrying out the 
        activities related to the Great Lakes described in section 
        118(f), including implementing a source reduction action plan 
        that has been approved by the Administrator pursuant to section 
        118(f)(7)''.

Summary: Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to: (1) establish a multimedia Great Lakes pollution demonstration program to increase the use of modernizing industrial source reduction practices. And (2) maintain a registry of modernizing toxic use and waste reduction technologies requiring demonstration. Exempts participants in the program from paying fees under such Act for the development of revised effluent guidelines and grants them an additional year to comply with new or revised effluent standards if the extension is appropriate. Directs the Administrator to establish a: (1) pollution prevention extension service to provide an outreach effort to encourage pollution prevention by industrial discharges to the Great Lakes system. And (2) Great Lakes pollution prevention clearinghouse. Authorizes municipalities within the Great Lakes basin to apply for technical and financial assistance from the Administrator to implement source reduction of toxic pollutants in urban runoff, wastewater, and stormwater. Permits funding for such source reduction to be obtained from State water pollution control revolving funds.
