A subset of the EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) containing facilities linked to the Assessment Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES). It provides location and identification data for sites assessed or cleaned up under EPA Brownfields grants and Targeted Brownfields Assessments. The data is centrally managed by the EPA and undergoes verification procedures.
Use Cases
- Map facility locations from the FRS to analyze spatial patterns of Brownfields grant-funded cleanup sites.
- Link facility identification information from the FRS to ACRES data for tracking remediation project status.
- Analyze environmental interest sites by integrating this subset with other EPA regulatory program data via FRS identifiers.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Facility Registry Service.
- Integrates facility data from EPA national programs, other federal agencies, and State/tribal records.
- Uses vigorous verification and data management procedures to provide a single source of facility information.
Limitations
- The specific number of facilities (rows) and available attributes (columns) is not provided.
- Data scope is limited to the subset of FRS facilities that have been linked to the ACRES system.
- Potential geographic bias as data is focused on the United States.
