Hi Paul,

Yes there are groups working in the region.  Earth Action is working on PEI
- we have the largest point source of mercury in the Maritimes, the
incinerator in Charlottetown.  The CCNB has been coordinating efforts
between groups in the Atlantic and those in New England. Check this out:

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Wisconsin Mercury SourceBook was written to help implement a new
"Mercury Strategy": a new way of addressing
toxics that is based on the development and implementation of comprehensive
community mercury reduction plans that focus on the purposeful use of
mercury.

The SourceBook provides a seven step outline for drafting a reduction plan,
and contains source identification materials for nineteen sectors of a
community, including case studies, product alternatives, and action ideas
for each sector. It is intended for use by anyone involved in drafting a
reduction plan for mercury, including sewerage districts, community or trade
associations, and government agencies.

The Wisconsin Mercury SourceBook was prepared by
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Bureau of Watershed Management
