Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO Exporter)

Downloaded data from EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO). As described by the Agency: "The ECHO Exporter [provides] summary information about each facility in a table format. Because ECHO has a limit on the number of facilities that can be shown in one query, some users were not able to get all the information they needed. The ECHO Exporter solves that problem - providing a download for more than 1.5 million regulated facilities in one zip file. Over 130 data fields are available for each facility, including the frequency of inspections, violations, actions, and penalties. The file includes facilities regulated as Clean Air Act stationary sources, Clean Water Act direct dischargers, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste handlers, Safe Drinking Water Act public water systems along with other data, such as Toxics Release Inventory releases, industry codes, and permit types. Latitude/longitude information also is included when available, allowing users to integrate facility locations into maps, mobile apps, and websites. The FRS ID joins the data to other ECHO download files. To join Exporter data with other datasets, use the FRS program interest linkages download."
