EPA Superfund Hazardous Waste Site Locations and Attributes

The EPA Facility Registry Service provides location and attribute data for facilities regulated under the Superfund Enterprise Management System. It integrates information from legacy systems like CERCLIS and ICTS, covering sites proposed for or on the National Priorities List as well as those in screening and assessment phases. The data is maintained through rigorous verification procedures by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Use Cases

• Map and analyze the geographic distribution of National Priorities List sites for environmental justice studies.
• Track the regulatory status and assessment phase of hazardous waste sites over time.
• Integrate facility location data with other EPA program data using the FRS identification records.
• Screen and assess sites for potential inclusion on the National Priorities List based on attribute criteria.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Facility Registry Service.
• Integrates information from multiple legacy EPA systems (CERCLIS, ICTS, SDMS) into a single source.
• Maintained through rigorous verification and management procedures for accuracy.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count, column count) and sample structure are not provided in the input.
• The dataset's temporal coverage and update frequency for individual site records are unspecified.
• Focus is exclusively on U.S. facilities within the Superfund program, limiting international applicability.
