Water compliance data is maintain in two EPA National Database Systems....
The Permit Compliance System (PCS) and the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS-NPDES) are currently EPA's national database systems used to track compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit requirements. Facilities in PCS and ICIS are identified as either major or minor. Within the major/minor classification, facilities are grouped into municipals, non-municipals or federal facilities. Major municipals are defined as facilities which discharge at least 1 MGD or more. Major non-municipals are facilities whose major rating code(MRAT) is at least 80 or higher. PCS and ICIS provide information on facilities which have been issued permits to discharge specific levels of waste water into lakes, rivers and streams. 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 (Envirofacts), etc... In addition, data is available showing enforcement, compliance schedules and inspections that has occurred under the NPDES program.
