Great Lakes Water Quality Improvement Act of 1990 - Amends the Clean Water Act to extend from five to seven years the period for conducting study and demonstration projects on the removal of toxic pollutants from the Great Lakes. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to develop: (1) specific numerical water quality criteria for the Great Lakes; and (2) guidance for the use of such criteria by States and local governments in implementing pollution prevention procedures. Requires the Great Lakes States (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) to adopt water quality standards which incorporate such criteria. Directs the Administrator to promulgate standards for Great Lakes States which fail to adopt such standards. Requires the Great Lakes States to develop and submit to the International Joint Commission remedial action plans for places designated as areas of concern pursuant to the Great Lakes Agreement between the United States and Canada. Directs the Great Lakes National Program Office to provide technical assistance to such States for plan development. Requires remedial actions to be included in such States' water quality plans. Directs the Administrator to develop and submit to the Commission a lakewide management plan for each of the Great Lakes. Provides for the revision of such plans and of remedial action plans, as necessary. Requires the Administrator to establish a program for making grants to Great Lakes States for the implementation of the Great Lakes Agreement and this Act. Directs the Administrator to develop consistent methods of reporting water quality data to the Commission. Authorizes and allocates appropriations.
