Environmental Law
http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/index.php/Environmental_law
The environmental law page of the Legal Information Institute is a quick, concise way to access information about environmental law. While the text gives only a brief overview of the structure of environmental laws in the USA, the column on the right-hand side gives rapid access to all the major environmental acts as well as federal agency code--a very efficient way to access key language and materials. Other links zip the user to search pages where they can find environmental law decisions from either the Supreme Court or the US Circuit Courts of Appeals. Additionally, there are links to some state and international materials. However, it isn't all just dry statutes and case law; there are also connections to federal agency sites and other environmental sites such as Greenpeace. If you want to get to the meat of environmental legal materials, this site puts you where you need to be quickly and without a bunch of fussy graphics.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Environmental Laws, Regulations, Etc.
http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/laws/index.html
Laws passed by Congress and signed by the President serve as the foundation for achieving the nation's environmental and public health protection goals. However, most laws do not have enough detail to be put into practice right away. EPA is called a regulatory agency because Congress authorizes us to write regulations that explain the critical technical, operational, and legal details necessary to implement laws.
In addition to these laws, a number of Executive Orders (E.O.s) issued by the President play a central role in our activities. The major laws and E.O.s are listed on this page and can be roughly divided into two categories:
(1) Laws and E.O.s that influence environmental protection
(2) Laws and E.O.s that influence EPA's regulatory process
For every law, we provide a link to the United States Code (U.S.C.), which is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. When possible, we also provide a link to a PDF version of each law because it is sometimes difficult to read the full text of in the U.S.C. The U.S.C. is updated annually, however, and therefore may provide a more current version of the law than the PDF version.
