EPA ECHO Enforcement Data Actor
Scrapes the EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) REST API to find facilities with enforcement actions under the Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Clean Air Act (CAA).
How it works
- Reads user-provided search criteria (state, optional ZIP code, optional SIC code).
- Queries three EPA ECHO REST API endpoints (
cwa_rest_services,rcra_rest_services,air_rest_services). - Paginates through results (up to
maxPagespages per endpoint). - Maps and deduplicates facilities by FRS Registry ID.
- Pushes results to the Apify dataset.
Input

| sicCode | text | (empty) | Standard Industrial Classification |
| maxPages | number | 10 | Max result pages per program |
| violationYears | number | 5 | Look-back period in years |

Rate Limiting
The EPA ECHO API allows up to 300 requests/hour and 1,500/day. This actor introduces a 12-second delay between API calls to stay well under these limits.
