To provide public access to environmental compliance, inspection, violation, enforcement, and permitting information for regulated facilities across the United States.
The Facility Search tool is part of the EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) platform, which was developed to improve transparency and public access to environmental regulatory information under major U.S. environmental laws including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Safe Drinking Water Act
The platform includes searchable information on regulated facilities, inspections, violations, enforcement actions, permits, pollutant releases, drinking water systems, hazardous waste facilities, wastewater facilities, air emission facilities, compliance histories, and facility geographic locations.
The data are compiled from EPA national regulatory databases and compliance reporting systems, including submissions from federal, state, local, and tribal environmental agencies. Information originates from inspections, monitoring activities, permit reporting, enforcement records, facility inventories, and compliance tracking systems maintained under environmental regulatory programs
