EPA CERCLIS Non-NPL Hazardous Waste Site Facilities

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Facility Registry Service provides location and identification data for facilities linked to the CERCLIS non-NPL hazardous waste site program. The dataset is a subset of the FRS, integrating facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and state and tribal records. It supports the Superfund program's mission to locate, investigate, and clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites across the United States.

Use Cases

• Map facility locations to analyze geographic distribution of CERCLIS non-NPL sites for regional environmental risk assessment.
• Link facility identifiers from this FRS subset to other EPA program data systems for integrated compliance and cleanup tracking.
• Analyze facility types (e.g., warehouses, manufacturing plants, landfills) associated with non-NPL sites to prioritize investigation resources.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's centrally managed Facility Registry Service.
• Integrates facility records from multiple sources including EPA national systems, federal agencies, and state/tribal governments.
• Specifically focuses on the sensitive CERCLIS non-NPL site subset, which is critical for Superfund program operations.

Limitations

• The dataset is restricted to internal EPA use only and is not publicly accessible for download or analysis.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count, column count, and temporal coverage are not provided in the available description.
• Data accessibility is limited to the EPA intranet via specific file formats (ZIP, ESRI REST), requiring specialized tools and authorization.
