EPA FRS: ER_TRI - Geospatial Facility Data for Toxic Release Reporting

More than 650 toxic chemicals are tracked in this subset of the EPA's Facility Registry System, linking facilities to the Toxic Release Inventory. The data provides location and identification information for industrial and federal facilities that report on chemical use, manufacturing, treatment, transportation, and environmental releases. It is maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping industrial facilities that handle toxic chemicals based on geospatial location data.
• Analyzing pollution prevention activities based on reported waste management information.
• Linking facility-level data across EPA regulatory systems based on integrated FRS identifiers.

Strengths

• Integrates data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal records.
• Contains information on more than 650 toxic chemicals, as stated in the description.
• Uses verification and data management procedures to provide a single source of facility information.

Limitations

• Data is restricted to internal EPA use only and is not publicly accessible.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, making field semantics unclear.
• The row count and specific file size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
