Envirofacts Multisystem
The Envirofacts Multisystem Query integrates information from a variety of databases and includes latitude and longitude information. Each of these databases contains information about facilities that are required to report activity to a state or federal system. Using this form, you can retrieve information about hazardous waste (including the Biennial Report), toxic and air releases, Superfund sites, and water discharge permits. Facility information and a map of its location is provided. More information on Envirofacts and the MultiSystem Data.
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
Brownfields (BMS)
The Brownfields Management System (BMS) stores information reported by EPA
Brownfields grant recipients on brownfields properties assessed or cleaned up with grant funding.
In addition, fact sheets about Brownfields Where You Live
are available. More information on the Brownfields.
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 SystemThe 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.
Other
Envirofacts Multisystem Query
The Envirofacts Multisystem Query integrates information from a variety of databases and includes latitude and
longitude information. Each of these databases contains information about facilities that are required to report
activity to a state or federal system. Using this form, you can retrieve information about hazardous waste
(including the Biennial Report), toxic and air releases, Superfund sites, and water discharge permits.
Facility information and a map of its location is provided. More information on Envirofacts and the MultiSystem Data.
Grants Information System
EPA's management information system for grants programs is the Grants Information and
Control System (GICS), which awards, administers, and monitors grants. Grants are
regularly awarded to Federal, State, or local government agencies, universities, and
other institutions that support EPA's environmental programs.
More information on GICS.
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
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:
- The occurrence of a monitoring event such as an inspection/evaluation or a self-report;
- The determination of a violation (noncompliance);
- The occurrence of a government enforcement action to address violations; and
- 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.
