Great Lakes Water Protection Act - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to allow a Great Lakes State to receive an incentive grant under this Act to carry out conservation activities or a grant under the Safe Drinking Water Act to establish a State revolving loan fund only if the State does not issue any oil or gas permit or lease for drilling to extract oil or gas from land beneath the water in any of the Great Lakes.
Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to study the environmental effects of such drilling activity and submit the results of the study to the National Academy of Sciences for review.
