🏭 EPA FRS Facility Registry Scraper

🚀 Export regulated facilities in seconds. Pull EPA Facility Registry Service records for any US state, with registry ID, standardized name, full address, county, and program system acronym.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 15 fields per record · all 50 states plus DC and territories · sourced from the official US EPA data.epa.gov service

The EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) is the federal master index of facilities, sites, and places that are subject to environmental regulation. This Actor turns that registry into a clean, structured feed of facility records you can drop straight into a database, a map, or a compliance workflow.

Coverage spans every US state, the District of Columbia, and US territories. You pick a state, optionally narrow to a single EPA program system (water permits, hazardous waste, air, Superfund, and more), and get back one row per facility with names, standardized addresses, county, EPA region, and the program acronym that ties the facility to a regulatory dataset.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Environmental consultants and EHS teams	Building facility master lists for a state or region
GIS and data analysts	Mapping regulated sites by county and program
Compliance and due-diligence researchers	Screening addresses against the federal registry
Journalists and NGOs	Investigating regulated facilities in a community

📋 What the EPA FRS Facility Registry Scraper does

It queries the public EPA efservice endpoint for the FRS_PROGRAM_FACILITY table, pages through the results for your chosen state, normalizes blank and placeholder values to null, and writes one tidy record per facility. You control the state, an optional program filter, and how many records to pull.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
stateCode	string (select)	Yes	US state or territory to pull facilities for. Defaults to California (CA).
programAcronym	string (select)	No	Optional EPA program system to filter by (NPDES, RCRAINFO, AIR, SEMS, and more). Leave on Any for all programs.
maxItems	integer	No	How many facilities to return. Free plan is capped at 10.

Example 1 — all programs in Texas:

{
    "stateCode": "TX",
    "maxItems": 100
}

Example 2 — only water discharge permit facilities in California:

{
    "stateCode": "CA",
    "programAcronym": "NPDES",
    "maxItems": 50
}

⚠️ Good to Know: FRS is a registry index, so a single physical facility can appear under more than one program system. Some records carry sparse address detail (for example a missing county or suite line). Those values are returned as null rather than guessed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EPA FRS? The Facility Registry Service is the EPA's master index of facilities subject to environmental regulation.

Where does the data come from? The official public data.epa.gov efservice endpoint for the FRS_PROGRAM_FACILITY table.

Which states are covered? All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam.

Can I filter by program? Yes. Use programAcronym to limit results to a single EPA program system.

Why do some facilities repeat names? A facility can be registered under multiple program systems, so it can appear once per program.

Why are some fields null? When the registry has no value, or only a placeholder, the field is returned as null instead of a guess.

Does it return latitude and longitude? This Actor returns the standardized address fields from the program facility table. Coordinates are not part of this table.

How many records can I get? Free plan returns up to 10. Paid plans can pull far more.

Is there an API key needed for EPA? No. The EPA endpoint is public and keyless.

Is this affiliated with the EPA? No. It is an independent tool that reads publicly available data.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Use the Apify API, webhooks, and scheduling to wire results into your stack. Output flows cleanly into sheets, databases, dashboards, and automation platforms.
