EPA's Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides location and identification data for facilities subject to environmental regulations. This subset contains facilities linked to the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process for closing excess military installations. The data is integrated from EPA systems, other federal agencies, and state/tribal records.
Use Cases
- Map the locations of military facilities undergoing closure or realignment based on the BRAC process.
- Analyze environmental compliance and cleanup efforts for closed military sites based on facility identification.
- Integrate facility data with other environmental datasets based on FRS's central integration role.
Strengths
- Data is centrally managed and verified by the EPA, providing an authoritative source.
- Facility information is integrated from multiple federal, state, and tribal sources.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
