U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data contains information about facilities or sites subject to environmental regulation, including key facility details and associated environmental interests. The dataset is designed for mapping and reporting applications. Its last update was in February 2021.

Use Cases

• Map regulated facility locations using geospatial coordinates for environmental justice analysis.
• Analyze the distribution of sites across regulatory programs like NPL, RCRA, and NPDES for compliance reporting.
• Cross-reference facility identifiers such as FRS ID to link this dataset with other EPA enforcement or permit data.

Strengths

• Compiled by the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
• Covers multiple major regulatory programs (NPL, RCRA, NPDES, Brownfields) in a single source.
• Tagged for geospatial use (Geodatabase, KMZ), indicating readiness for mapping applications.

Limitations

• Data freshness is limited, with a last update recorded in February 2021.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count, column count, and file size are unknown.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring careful review before use.
