In addition to the MNPS and VNPS sites, one of the best sources for tons of information is the Montgomery County DEP web site: www.askdep.com (that's easy to remember! the underlying link is actually www.montgomerycountymd.gov/deptmpl.asp?url=/content/dep/index.asp, but www.askdep.com will get you there).
