EPA TRI Scraper pulls environmental compliance data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release Inventory. Each facility record includes 48+ fields: facility name, street address, city, state, ZIP, county, GPS coordinates, SIC code, parent company name, contact phone number, and EPA program details. You can choose from three datasets (TRI Facilities, Release Quantities, EPA Program Registrations) and filter by state.

Environmental researchers use this to map pollution sources and analyze chemical release patterns. Compliance officers monitor regulated facilities and their program enrollments. Journalists investigate which companies report toxic releases in specific communities. Real estate professionals assess environmental risk near properties. If you need structured EPA data without navigating clunky government portals, this actor delivers it in seconds.

📋 What it does

• 🏭 Facility records. 48+ fields per facility including names, addresses, contacts, coordinates, and SIC codes.
• ☣️ Release quantities. Toxic chemical release data reported by facilities across the country.
• 📋 Program registrations. 50+ fields showing which EPA regulatory programs each facility participates in.
• 📍 State filtering. Narrow results to any state using standard 2-letter codes.
• 🏢 Corporate ownership. Parent company names behind individual facility locations.

Each record gives you a full compliance profile for one facility: where it is, what it does, who owns it, how to contact it, and its GPS coordinates for mapping.

💡 Why it matters: The EPA publishes this data through multiple web portals with limited search and export options. This actor pulls everything into one structured dataset, ready for analysis, mapping, or database import.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: asgn_public_contact, asgn_public_contact_email, asgn_public_phone, city_name, county_name, epa_registry_id, fac_closed_ind, fac_latitude, fac_longitude, facility_name, frs_id, parent_co_name, region, scrapedAt, standardized_parent_company, state_abbr, street_address, tri_facility_id, zip_code. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: The TRI covers thousands of industrial facilities across all 50 states. The "facilities" dataset provides the broadest view with 48+ fields per record. State-level downloads typically complete in under a minute.
