EPA Oil Spill Response Facility Registry

Facility location and identification data from the EPA's Facility Registry System for sites linked to Facility Response Plans. These substantial harm facilities are subject to federal oil spill prevention and response requirements. The dataset is managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and was last updated in early April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping facility locations for emergency response planning using geospatial coordinates.
• Identifying facilities subject to Facility Response Plan regulations based on stored oil quantities.
• Cross-referencing facility data with other EPA program systems for compliance tracking.
• Analyzing the distribution of substantial harm facilities across U.S. states and territories.

Strengths

• Data is integrated from multiple authoritative sources, including EPA national systems, other federal agencies, and state records.
• The FRS employs verification and data management procedures to maintain a centrally managed source.

Limitations

• Key technical details like row count, column names, and exact size are unavailable from all provided sources.
• The dataset is restricted to internal EPA use only, severely limiting public accessibility and verification.
