EPA's Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides location and identification data for facilities linked to the Emission Inventory System (EIS). The EIS inventory includes large stationary sources and voluntarily-reported smaller sources of air point pollution emitters. Data includes facility sites, emission units, processes, release points, control approaches, and regulations, managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Use Cases
- Mapping air pollution source locations based on facility geospatial coordinates.
- Analyzing regulatory compliance based on facility control approaches and regulations.
- Identifying duplicate or missing facilities based on stable facility identifiers.
- Studying emission processes and units at stationary industrial sites.
Strengths
- Facility inventory data uses stable identifiers to improve continuity from year to year.
- Data is centrally managed and integrated from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal records.
- The description specifies data includes emission units, processes, release points, control approaches, and regulations.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to datagov.
