Air

Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS) / AIRS Facility Subsystem (AFS)
Information on air releases is contained in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS), a computer-based repository for information about air pollution in the United States. This information comes from source reports by various stationary sources of air pollution, such as electric power plants, steel mills, factories, and universities, and provides information about the air pollutants they produce. More information on AIRS/AFS

UV Index
The ozone layer shields the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone depletion, as well as seasonal and weather variations, cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach the Earth at any given time. The UV Index predicts the ultraviolet radiation levels on a 0-10+ scale, helping people determine appropriate sun-protective behaviors. More information on UV Index

Water

Information Collection Rule (ICR)
The Drinking Water Microbial and Disinfection Byproduct Information overview contains information for users on what the database can and cannot answer. Data collected to support the Information Collection Rule (ICR) will be used to help assess the potential health effects of pathogens and disinfection byproducts, and will provide decision-makers with the information necessary to support regulatory and public health decisions. More information on ICR

Permit Compliance System (PCS)
The Permit Compliance System (PCS) provides information on companies which have been issued permits to discharge waste water into rivers. You can review information on when a permit was issued and expires, how much the company is permitted to discharge, and the actual monitoring data showing what the company has discharged. More information on PCS.

Safe Drinking Water Information System
The Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) contains information about public water systems and their violations of EPA's drinking water regulations. These statutes and accompanying regulations establish maximum contaminant levels, treatment techniques, and monitoring and reporting requirements to ensure that water provided to customers is safe for human consumption. More information on SDWIS

Waste

Biennial Reporting (BR)
Detailed hazardous waste information is collected on the generation of hazardous waste from large quantity generators and data on waste management practices from treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. This information is compiled into a Biennial Report and is useful for trend analysis. More information on BRS.

Superfund (CERCLIS)
Superfund is a program administered by the EPA to locate, investigate, and clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites throughout the United States. More information on CERCLIS.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo)
Hazardous waste generators, transporters, treaters, storers and disposers of hazardous waste are required to provide information on their activities to state environmental agencies. These agencies then provide the information to regional and national US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offices through the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo) System. Information on cleaning up after accidents or other activities that result in a release of hazardous materials to the water, air or land must also be reported through RCRAInfo. More information on RCRAInfo.

Land

The Assessment, Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES)
ACRES captures grantee reported data on environmental activities and accomplishments (assessment, cleanup and redevelopment), funding, job training, and details on cooperative partners and leveraging efforts - a central objective of the Brownfields Program. The information in ACRES is provided at the property and grant level. Results will be returned from Cleanups in My Community.

Superfund (CERCLIS)
Superfund is a program administered by the EPA to locate, investigate, and clean up uncontrolled hazardous waste sites throughout the United States. More information on CERCLIS.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo)
Hazardous waste generators, transporters, treaters, storers and disposers of hazardous waste are required to provide information on their activities to state environmental agencies. These agencies then provide the information to regional and national US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offices through the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo) System. Information on cleaning up after accidents or other activities that result in a release of hazardous materials to the water, air or land must also be reported through RCRAInfo. More information on RCRAInfo.

Cleanups in My Community (CIMC)
Cleanups in My Community is a mapping and listing tool that shows sites where pollution is being or has been cleaned up throughout the United States. It maps, lists and provides cleanup progress profiles for: * Sites, facilities and properties that have been contaminated by hazardous materials and are being, or have been, cleaned up under the Superfund, RCRA or Brownfields cleanup programs. * Federal facilities that have been contaminated by hazardous materials and are being, or have been, cleaned up under the Superfund or RCRA cleanup programs. More information on CIMC.

Toxics

Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) contains information about more than 650 toxic chemicals that are being used, manufactured, treated, transported, or released into the environment. Manufacturers of these chemicals are required to report the locations and quantities of chemicals stored on-site to state and local governments. The reports are submitted to the EPA and state governments. EPA compiles this data in an on-line, publicly accessible national computerized database. More information on TRI.

Radiation

RadNet, formerly Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System
The RadNet is a national network of monitoring stations that regularly collect air, precipitation, drinking water, and milk samples for analysis of radioactivity. The RadNet network has been used to track environmental releases resulting from nuclear emergencies and to provide baseline data during routine conditions. Data generated from RadNet provides the information base for making decisions necessary to ensure the protection of public health. More information on RadNet.

Radiation Information Database
The Radiation Information Database (RADINFO) contains information about facilities that are regulated by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for radiation and radioactivity. RADINFO uses EPA's current "Standard Data Elements For Facility Identification" approved on November 21, 2000. This State/EPA standard offers a common and consistent way to identify facilities of interest to the EPA. More information on RADINFO.

Facility

Facility Registry System
The Facility Registry System (FRS) is a centrally managed database that identifies facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. FRS creates high-quality, accurate, and authoritative facility identification records through rigorous verification and management procedures that incorporate information from program national systems, state master facility records, data collected from EPA's Central Data Exchange registrations and data management personnel. More information on FRS.

Compliance

Enforcement & Compliance History Online (ECHO)
Four key components of the enforcement process at regulated facilities are documented in EPA databases for larger facilities and many smaller facilities:

  1. The occurrence of a monitoring event such as an inspection/evaluation or a self-report;
  2. The determination of a violation (noncompliance);
  3. The occurrence of a government enforcement action to address violations; and
  4. Penalties associated with enforcement actions. 

The information provided on Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) relates to facilities regulated as Clean Air Act (CAA) stationary sources, as Clean Water Act (CWA) permitted dischargers (under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste sites. More information on ECHO.
