Six toxic areas in Michigan, including the St. Clair River, will get special attention from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for funding to finish long-term cleanups there in the next two years. The six are among nine areas that will get funding, Lisa Jackson, administrator of the agency, said yesterday at Wayne State University. Jackson\'s appearance at Wayne State coincides with the events of Great Lakes Week - a gathering in Detroit of environmental groups from around the region. The week\'s events include meetings of the International Joint Commission and the Great Lakes Commission.
