EPA Facility Compliance Records — Envirofacts

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

This actor turns the U.S. EPA's Envirofacts facility registry into clean, per-facility records — the regulated facilities in EPA's Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS), the same underlying data the public ECHO site is built on. Each run reads the official, keyless Envirofacts Data Service and delivers one row per facility interest: the facility name and EPA registry id, the program system it falls under (NPDES water, Air, RCRA, and more), its location, and its status flags (federal facility, Superfund/NPL, tribal land, CAFO). Facility and organization grain, public-domain data, no person fields.

What this is, in one paragraph

Every facility EPA regulates is recorded in the Facility Registry Service and the ICIS compliance system. EPA exposes this through the keyless Envirofacts Data Service. This actor reads that service, partitioned by state, and flattens each facility-interest row into a single analysis-ready record: what the facility is, where it is, which EPA program covers it, and the flags that matter for screening (is it a federal facility, is it on the Superfund National Priorities List, is it on tribal land). Values are verbatim. You are billed only for records actually delivered.

Who buys this and for what job

• Environmental, ESG, and compliance teams screening facilities in a state by program (water/air/waste) and by risk flags (Superfund, federal facility).
• Consultants and law firms building facility inventories for due diligence, siting, or litigation support.
• Researchers and journalists mapping regulated facilities and Superfund sites by geography.
• Data engineers who want a keyless, one-call EPA facility feed already reduced to facility/org fields.

Licence — public domain

EPA Envirofacts data is a U.S. Government work in the public domain — free to reuse, including commercially, with attribution. Every record carries: "Source: U.S. EPA Envirofacts (ICIS facility registry), data.epa.gov."

Facility records are not verdicts

This is the honest core of the product. A facility's presence in ICIS, or its listing under a program, is not a determination of violation, a penalty, or a verdict about the company — it is the reported facility-interest record as held in EPA's data systems. That caveat is carried on every record: "A facility's presence or program listing is NOT a determination of violation, penalty, or a verdict about the company." These are records for screening and inventory, not compliance conclusions; verify against the official EPA ECHO / Envirofacts record before acting.

Facility / organization grain — no person data

This actor works at facility and organization grain. The Envirofacts facility tables carry no natural-person contact fields; the only name-like fields (created_by, updated_by) are system audit codes (e.g. FRS, AIR_2661), and this actor never maps them — a person-key guard on every record backstops it, and an acceptance test asserts those audit fields never appear in output.

Partition required — by state

EPA's facility registry spans millions of rows. To keep pulls bounded, honest, and cheap, this actor requires a state partition: every run must supply a 2-letter stateCode. A run with no state is refused at input validation rather than silently attempting a multi-million-row scan — the partition requirement is enforced in code and covered by an acceptance test. Within a state you can further narrow by program system.

An unbilled RUN_RECEIPT records the robots check, the state and program filters, rows seen and delivered, and whether charged equals delivered.

Field reference

Each record is a flat set of screening fields. Identity: record_id (ICIS facility-interest id) and facility_registry_id (the FRS UIN that links to ECHO). What and where: facility_name, program_system and program_system_id, state_code, epa_region_code, city, county_code, congressional_district, country_code, location_address, zip, and latitude/longitude. Screening flags: federal_facility_flag, tribal_land_flag, small_business_flag, npl_superfund_flag, unpermitted_cafo_indicator, and sensitive_data_flag. Provenance and caveats: source, source_url (a direct ECHO detailed-facility-report link), licence, attribution, disclaimer, and observed_at.

How a run works

A run first re-reads the source's robots posture from your runtime — data.epa.gov serves no directive robots file, a no-policy posture — and stops at the door if that ever changes. It then reads the Envirofacts facility table partitioned to your state, one page at a time through the service's ROWS range window. Each facility is flattened to one record — system audit fields dropped, placeholder - values normalized to null, coordinates coerced to numbers — and delivered before it is charged, so a run that is blocked or finds nothing costs you nothing. Your optional program filter is applied to each record before it is delivered, so you are billed only for facilities that pass it. The actor paces between pages (the service is deliberately unhurried), stops when a short page signals the end of the partition or your maxRecords ceiling is reached, and records charge_equals_delivered in the receipt so you can confirm you were billed for exactly what you received.

Cost guidance

One facility_record per delivered facility: cost = facilities delivered × your plan's per-record price. A single state runs from a few thousand facilities to well over a hundred thousand (California alone is ~147,000 facility interests), so scope with programSystem and maxRecords to keep runs bounded. 1,000 facilities is $50 (Free) / $33.50 (Gold).

Honest limitations

• Facility interests, not compliance verdicts. This is the facility registry / program-interest record — not a violation, penalty, or enforcement determination.
• State-partitioned by design. Every run needs a stateCode; there is no unpartitioned national pull.
• Program filter is applied to delivered records (client-side), so you are billed only for facilities that pass it.
• Point-in-time. Facility records change; re-run to refresh.
• No person data is emitted — the only name-like fields are EPA system audit codes, which are dropped.

Differentiation

This is EPA facility data specifically. It is distinct from fda-recall-risk-records and fda-device-clearance-records (a different agency and product domain entirely), and from the procurement and grant cells in this fleet. It reads EPA's Envirofacts data service directly, at facility grain, for screening and inventory.
