ECHO data are initially aggregated at the state, county, or ZIP code level when viewing results with the interactive map. The level of aggregation is dynamically scaled based on the number of results returned to maximize the number of points on the map. The following counts are provided:
- Number of Facilities
- Facilities with Current Violations
- Facilities with Significant Violations
- Facilities with Violations (3 years)
- Facilities with Informal Enforcement Actions (5 years)
- Facilities with Formal Enforcement Actions (5 years)
- Facilities with On-Site Inspections (5 years)
- Facilities without On-Site Inspections (5 years)
Once 500 or fewer results are found when viewing results with the interactive map, the data table presents facility-level information.
When you choose Data Table view from the search form, ECHO displays 500 table rows at a time and additional results are paginated. In Data Table view, total search results are limited to 100,000 or fewer records. An indication of how many results are returned and which set of results are in view is provided at the bottom of the table.

Results Guide
Data Alerts
Missouri and Washington are working with EPA to fix problems with their Clean Water Act violation data.
The Known Data Problems page has more information.
Key Terms
"Violation," "noncompliance," "significant noncompliance," and "high priority violation" are all terms used by the ECHO website to describe the facility’s status in regard to compliance with the law. In many cases, these terms reflect determinations made by EPA or states when conducting inspections or reviewing facility self-reports. These determinations assist the government in tracking resolution of violations through the enforcement process and do not necessarily represent a final adjudication by a judicial or administrative body. In such cases, these characterizations should be considered alleged violations.
The search results present data from several EPA data sources. Read About the Data for more information on each data source and when the data were last updated in ECHO. See the Known Data Problems page for important notifications about data quality.
Data fields included in the search results are described below. The results page field name is listed in bold and the data download file field name is listed [within brackets in italics].

Compliance Status
CWA Compliance Status
A permit-level CWA compliance status is generated after every quarter and then reviewed before becoming "official". Discharge data for the most recent quarter were reported after the last official quarter, and a permit-level compliance status has not yet been generated. Since these data were reported after the last Quarterly Noncompliance Report (QNCR) was issued, they are considered draft and have not been fully quality assured. A QNCR description is provided in the Detailed Facility Report Data Dictionary. Post QNCR data are taken into account for the following results table columns:
- Compliance Status
- Quarters with NonCompliance (3 years)
- Current Violation
- Effluent Violations (3 years)
- Compliance Status [CWPStatus]
-
An indication of the facility's compliance status under the Clean Water Act. The following designations are made:
- Significant Violation
- Violation Identified
- No Violation Identified
- Terminated Permit
- Not Applicable
- Unknown
Note: This field considers the most current data available, including effluent exceedances reported after the last Quarterly Noncompliance Report (QNCR) was issued; post QNCR data are considered draft and have not been fully quality assured.
- Significant Noncompliance (SNC) Status [CWPSNCStatus]
-
When a major source is in significant noncompliance (SNC) or a non-major source has a Category I violation, the specific type of SNC/Category I will be displayed.Effluent Violations• Effluent - Monthly Average Limit• Effluent - Non-monthly Average Limit
Violations of a Compliance Schedule• Compliance/Permit Schedule Violations• Compliance/Permit Schedule Reporting
Failure to Report• Failure to Report DMR - Not Received - Reportable Noncompliance (RNC) Status [CWPVioStatus]
- The most recent official quarterly QNCR compliance status (Quarter 12) for the NPDES permit.
- SNC Status Date [CWPSNCStatusDate]
- The status date of the facility's Significant Noncompliance designation.
- Quarters with Noncompliance (3 years) [CWPQtrsWithNc]
- Count of the number of quarters, out of the last twelve quarters, in which the permit or site is considered either with violations, in noncompliance (NC) status, or in Significant Noncompliance (SNC), as described above under Compliance Status. A quarter is any of the following 3-month calendar periods: January-March, April-June, July-September, or October-December. Further violation and detailed compliance information can be found on ECHO's Frequently Asked Questions page. Note: This field considers the most current data available, including effluent exceedances reported after the last QNCR was issued; post QNCR data are considered draft and have not been fully quality assured.
- Current Violation [CWPViolStatus]
- Displays "Yes" if the facility is currently in any violation under the Clean Water Act, either in Noncompliance or Significant Noncompliance. Note: This field considers the most current data available, including effluent exceedances reported after the last Quarterly Noncompliance Report (QNCR) was issued; post-QNCR data are considered draft and have not been fully quality assured. If the official data show the facility is in violation and the post-QNCR data show the facility is not in violation or unknown, the status is based on the official QNCR data. Otherwise, the status is based on post-QNCR.
- Quarters with SNC (3 years) [CWPQtrsWithSNC]
- Count of the number of quarters, out of the last twelve quarters, in which the permit is considered in Significant Noncompliance (SNC), as described above under Compliance Status. A quarter is any of the following 3-month calendar periods: January-March, April-June, July-September, or October-December. Further violation and detailed compliance information can be found on ECHO's Frequently Asked Questions page.
- Qtrs in Undetermined Compliance Status (2 years) [MissDMRQtrs]
- Count of the number of quarters, out of the last twelve quarters, in which EPA's data system was not able to determine the facility-level compliance status. A quarter is any of the following 3-month calendar periods: January-March, April-June, July-September, or October-December.
- Effluent Violations (3 years) [CWPE90Cnt]
- Displays the number of instances where effluent limits have been exceeded in the past 3 years (E90 compliance code), based on monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted by facilities. This field displays whole numbers and "0" indicates either that the facility has not exceeded its effluent limits or may not have effluent limits in its permit.
- Note: This field considers the most current data available, including effluent exceedances reported after the last QNCR was issued; post QNCR data are considered draft and have not been fully quality assured. The number of effluent violations reported in the post QNCR data are added to the total number of officially reported exceedances.
- Compliance Tracking [CWPComplianceTracking]
- Displays the compliance tracking status for a NPDES permit in ICIS-NPDES. The Compliance Tracking selections can assist you in interpreting the compliance status, particularly for non-major permittees. There are two components of compliance tracking, including Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) non-receipt tracking and facility-level compliance status tracking. Note that compliance tracking may not be entered for some permits, as it does not apply to “Not Needed” or “Pending" permit statuses or "Unpermitted" permit type. The compliance tracking statuses can only be turned off for non-major permittees.
- "On" generally indicates that data are being entered and all system compliance tracking is on. In ICIS-NPDES, Permit Compliance Tracking Status and DMR Non-Receipt Status are both set to “Yes”.
- "Partial" generally indicates that some data are being entered, effluent exceedances and most facility-level status types are being identified, but DMR non-receipt is not being tracked, which suggests not all DMR data are being entered. In ICIS-NPDES, Permit Compliance Tracking Status is set to “Yes” and DMR Non-Receipt Status is set to “No”.
- "Off" indicates that data both compliance tracking flags are off (i.e., ICIS-NPDES will not determine a facility-level compliance status). In ICIS-NPDES, Permit Compliance Tracking Status is set to “No.” Facilities with compliance tracking “off” may have violations on their hard copy DMRs that are not recorded in the ICIS-NPDES database.
Inspections
- On-Site Inspections (5 years) [CWPInspectionCount]
- The number of inspections/compliance evaluations, under the corresponding statute, occurring at the facility within the last five years. The last five years include data from the twenty most recently completed quarters, plus data from the current quarter up until the refresh date. This count only includes inspection types that are counted as inspections in official counts. For more information about on-site inspections, see CWA NPDES Compliance Monitoring Strategy.
- Days Since On-Site Last Inspection [CWPDaysLastInspection]
- Indicates the number of days since the most recent inspection of the facility. Inspections listed within the last five years are included.
- Date of Last On-Site Inspection [CWPDateLastInspection, CWPDateLastInspEPA, CWPDateLastInspSt]
- The date on which the most recent inspection of the facility took place. "Date of Last On-Site Inspection (EPA)" and "Date of Last On-Site Inspection (State)" indicate the last inspection date by EPA and the state environmental agency, respectively.
Enforcement Actions
- Informal Enforcement Actions (5 years) [CWPInformalEnfActCount]
- Indicates the total number of informal enforcement actions/notices of violations (NOVs) taken against the facility within the last five years. Notices of Violation are activities taken by EPA or the state that often precede a formal administrative or civil/judicial enforcement action. Not all notices of violation are escalated to formal enforcement action for a variety of reasons, including the following: the facility quickly corrects the problem(s) indicated in the notice, the violation is determined to be less severe than originally thought, or consultation between the facility and EPA or the state indicates that a violation has not occurred.
- Formal Enforcement Actions (5 years) [CWPFormalEaCnt]
- Indicates the total number of enforcement actions taken against the facility within the last five years. This count only includes enforcement actions that have been entered in the national program database, ICIS-NPDES. (Please note that all actions at NPDES facilities in states using ICIS-NPDES are counted.)
- A "--" indicates that the database shows no formal EPA or state enforcement action. Note that enforcement actions that are in progress are not publicly available. For more information, continue to check this site for updates (monthly). The relevant state environmental agency also may have additional information. Also note that all violations do not receive formal enforcement actions. Violations that are minor, short in duration, or quickly corrected by the facility may not warrant formal enforcement action.
- Date Last Informal Action [CWPDateLastInformalEa]
- Indicates the effective date of the most recent listed informal enforcement action taken against the facility within the last five years.
- Date Last Informal Action (EPA) [CWPDateLastIeaEPA]

Pollutant loading amounts are calculated using concentration, quantity, and flow data reported on the facility's Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and entered into ICIS-NPDES. Click on the Pollutant Loading Report "L" icon in the Reports column to view loadings and loadings calculations in further detail.
- DMR Toxic-Weighted Loadings (lb-eq/year) [DmrTwpe]
- Total toxic-weighted pounds equivalent (TWPE) discharged by the NPDES ID for the most recent complete calendar year. TWPE is the mass of a pollutant or chemical discharged that accounts for its relative toxicity. To convert DMR loadings into TWPE, EPA multiplies the pollutant loading (in pounds) by its toxic weighting factor (TWF). Click on the Pollutant Loading Report "L" icon in the Reports column to view loadings and loadings calculations in further detail.
- EPA developed TWFs for use in its Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) development program to allow comparison of pollutants with varying toxicities. See Water Pollutant Loading Tool Resources for more information on TWF values and methodology.
- DMR Conventional Pollutants Loadings (lb/year) [PastCalYrConvPollutants]
- Total pounds of conventional pollutants discharged by the NPDES ID for the most recent complete calendar year. Conventional pollutants are defined in 40 CFR 401.16. Pollutant loading amounts are calculated using concentration, quantity, and flow data reported on the facility's Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and entered into ICIS-NPDES. Click on the Pollutant Loading Report "L" icon in the Reports column to view loadings and loadings calculations in further detail. See Water Pollutant Loading Tool Resources for more information on pollutant loadings methodology.
- DMR Conventional Pollutants - Load Over Limit (lb/year) [PastCalYrConvPolOvrLmt]
- Total load over limit of conventional pollutant pounds equivalent discharged by the NPDES ID for the most recent complete calendar year. Conventional pollutants are defined in 40 CFR 401.16. The load over limit calculates the sum of the monthly differences between the average load and either the permit limit or the enforcement action limit for each pollutant. Click on the Pollutant Loading Report "L" icon in the Reports column to view loadings and loadings calculations in further detail. See Water Pollutant Loading Tool Hierarchy of Loading Calculations and Technical Users Background Document for more information on values and methodology.
- DMR Toxic Load Over Limit (lb-eq/year) [PastCalYrToxicPolOvrLmt]
- Total load over limit of toxic-weighted pounds equivalent (TWPE) discharged by the NPDES ID for the most recent complete calendar year. TWPE is the mass of a pollutant or chemical discharged that accounts for its relative toxicity. To convert DMR loadings into TWPE, EPA multiplies the pollutant loading (in pounds) by its toxic weighting factor (TWF). The load over limit calculates the sum of the monthly differences between the average load and either the permit limit or enforcement action limit for each pollutant. Click on the Pollutant Loading Report "L" icon in the Reports column to view loadings and loadings calculations in further detail. See Water Pollutant Loading Tool Resources for more information on TWF values and methodology.

Surrounding populations and other statistics were estimated by retrieving the data for Census block groups within three miles of each facility.
View Facility Summary Information
Once facility-level data are displayed (Data Table view or 500 or fewer results in Interactive Map view), the facility summary panel becomes visible. Upon clicking in a table row (or on a map pin), the Facility Summary panel will expand (or update) to present a brief overview of the selected facility’s compliance information. The facility name and street address are displayed at the top of the panel. A miniature map zoomed in on the selected facility is shown below the name and address.
The following data are presented below the map in the Facility Summary panel:
- NPDES Permit
- Compliance Status
- Inspections (5 years)
- Date of Last Inspection
- Quarters with Noncompliance (of 12)
The facility's Effluent Charts page can be accessed by clicking the NPDES Permit hyperlink. The facility's Detailed Facility Report can be accessed by clicking the "More Facility Details" hyperlink on the bottom right of the panel.
Filter Facilities
When using the Interactive Map view, the Filter Facilities panel is enabled once search results are refined to 500 or fewer facilities. Several interactive filters are provided, grouped using the same organizing principles used on the search form. Filters allow you to add an additional layer of analysis within your current search without affecting the universe of results. The counts displayed in the Current Search panel will remain frozen as you manipulate different filters to further analyze the data.
Most filters can be applied by checking a corresponding checkbox. In addition to enabling a filter, several filters also offer further customization by establishing a specific threshold or range of values by using interactive sliders. For sliders that are based on a quantity (versus a timeframe), ECHO dynamically determines the minimum and maximum of the range based on the data included in your search results. Several filters allow you to apply "without" logic by selecting the "No" checkbox.
As you apply filters to your results, ECHO dynamically adjusts the counts in the Filter Facilities panel associated with each. As more filters are selected, the number of facilities that match will decrease. You can select and unselect as many filters as you'd like without affecting your original universe of search results.
By default, the Only Show Matches is checked. As you apply filters, ECHO dynamically adjusts the map and data table display to only show those facilities that match the filters selected. You can uncheck Only Show Matches to compare the facilities that match, or do not, the filters selected. Facilities that do not match are shown on the map as "dimmed" map pins and rows in the table that do not match are grayed out. Clicking the Clear Filters link in the top right of the panel will remove all selected filters.
Filters available include:
- Facility Type
- Filter facilities by major or minor designation:
- Major municipal dischargers include all facilities with design flows of greater than one million gallons per day and facilities with EPA/State approved industrial pretreatment programs.

- Filter facilities based on whether a facility reported pounds of toxic chemicals released directly to surface water to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Use the slider to identify a specific range of pounds of toxic chemicals released. The range is dynamically determined based on the release quantities reported by the facilities included in your search results.
- Facilities with TRI POTW Transfers (Pounds)
- Filter facilities based on whether a facility reported pounds of toxic chemicals transferred to a publicly-owned treatment works (POTW) to the Toxics Release Inventory. Use the slider to identify a specific range of pounds of toxic chemicals transferred. The range is dynamically determined based on the transfer quantities reported by the facilities included in your search results.
- Facilities with DMR Discharges (Pounds)
- Filter facilities based on whether a facility reported pounds of pollutants discharged on a DMR. Use the slider to identify a specific range of pounds of pollutants discharged. The range is dynamically determined based on the discharge quantities reported by the facilities included in your search results.
- Facilities with DMR Discharges (TWPE)
- Filter facilities based on whether a facility reported pollutants discharged on a DMR, based on units of toxic-weighted pound equivalents (TWPE). EPA calculates TWPE using DMR data and pollutant specific toxic weighting factors (TWFs) to rank the relative toxicities of different pollutant discharges. Pollutants have different toxicities to human health and aquatic communities and the TWPE unit provides a relative measure of how the potential toxic nature of one pollutant compares against another pollutant. Use the slider to identify a specific range of TWPEs of pollutants discharged. The range is dynamically determined based on the discharge quantities reported by the facilities included in your search results.
