EPA Facility Registry Service for Environmental Compliance

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Facility Registry Service integrates environmental information for regulated facilities. It covers air, water, and waste data across EPA, state, tribal, and other locations of interest like schools and landfills. The dataset was last updated in April 2025.

Use Cases

• Map regulated facilities by environmental media topics like Air, Water, and Wastes to assess regional compliance density.
• Analyze facility data tagged with substances to identify potential environmental risk clusters.
• Cross-reference facility locations with tags like schools and landfills for proximity-based environmental justice studies.

Strengths

• Managed by the authoritative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ensuring regulatory relevance.
• Integrates data from multiple sources including EPA, states, and tribes, providing a consolidated view.
• Covers multiple environmental domains (air, water, waste) and facility types, as indicated by its tags.

Limitations

• The specific data schema, including column names and row count, is not provided, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• The 'other-license-specified' license may impose usage restrictions that require careful review before application.
