What about EPCRA (Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act)?  Do
any of you have experience with using it in a community to learn about what
is being used or stored at a local facility (a potential, future
brownfields)?  Also, is EPCRA data maintained for places that are no longer
operating (i.e. the place was in business until sometime after 1986 (the
start of the law's requirements)?  I am imagining that some of these places
may now be brownfields.

By the way, if you are not familiar with EPCRA, the full text of the act
can be found at: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/unframed/42/ch116.html
