EPA Brownfields Facility Locations and Assessment Data

Over 40,000 facilities in the EPA's Facility Registry Service are linked to properties assessed or cleaned up under the Brownfields program. This dataset provides geospatial locations and identification details for sites involved in EPA-funded assessment and redevelopment activities. It is maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map facility locations and associated brownfields site boundaries for spatial analysis of redevelopment clusters.
• Analyze the relationship between facility types in the FRS registry and the cleanup activities recorded in ACRES.
• Join this dataset with other EPA regulatory system data using the FRS facility identification key for integrated environmental reporting.

Strengths

• Integrates data from multiple EPA national program systems and state/tribal sources, providing a single authoritative source.
• Includes facilities subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest, verified through data management procedures.

Limitations

• The dataset is a subset of the full FRS, limited only to facilities linked to the ACRES Brownfields system.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessing completeness.
