Summary:  View help for Summary
This feature service consists of location and facility identification information from EPA's Facility Registry Service (FRS) for all sites that are available in the FRS individual feature layers. Although we have taken all available measures to optimize performance, because this service contains the full universe of FRS regulated facilities, the total data volume may lead to slow performance for many applications. We strongly recommend choosing from one of the feature services below which comprise the FRS major program databases, including: 
  • Assessment Cleanup and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) : brownfields sites 
  • Air Facility System (AFS) : stationary sources of air pollution 
  • ICIS-AIR (AIR) : stationary sources of air pollution
  • Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) : schools data on Indian land
  • Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) facilities
  • Clean Air Markets Division Business System (CAMDBS) : market-based air pollution control programs
  • Comprehensive Environmental Response, Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS): hazardous waste sites
  • Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) : integrated enforcement and compliance information
  • National Compliance Database (NCDB) : Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
  • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) module of ICIS : NPDES surface water permits
  • Radiation Information Database (RADINFO) : radiation and radioactivity facilities
  • RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) : best available air pollution technology requirements
  • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information System (RCRAInfo) : tracks generators, transporters, treaters, storers, and disposers of hazardous waste
  • Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) : certain industries that use, manufacture, treat, or transport more than 650 toxic chemicals
  • Emission Inventory System (EIS) : inventory of large stationary sources and voluntarily-reported smaller sources of air point pollution emitters
  • Countermeasure (SPCC) and facility response plan (FRP) subject facilities
  • Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (E-GGRT) : large greenhouse gas emitters
  • Emissions and; Generation Resource Integrated Database (EGRID) : power plants
The Facility Registry Service (FRS) identifies and geospatially locates facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. Using vigorous verification and data management procedures, FRS integrates facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records and provides EPA with a centrally managed, single source of comprehensive and authoritative information on facilities. This data set contains the FRS facilities that link to the programs listed above once the program data has been integrated into the FRS database. Additional information on FRS is available at the EPA website https://www.epa.gov/frs. EPA also publishes a download package that includes a file geodatabase, Esri ArcMap map document and an XML file of this metadata record and is refreshed on the same cycle as this service. Full FGDC metadata records for each layer are contained in the database.
