EPA Facility Registry Service - RCRA Large Quality Generators (RCRA LQG)

Overview This layer provides location and facility information for hazardous waste large quantity generators (LQG) found in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information System (RCRAInfo). RCRAInfo is the EPA’s comprehensive information system which supports the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 and the Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) for 1984. To learn more about LQGs, view the factsheet. The Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides quality facility data to support EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment by identifying and geospatially locating facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations of environmental interest. Facility data is improved with geospatial processing of incoming data and data curation tools to provide an integrated, dataset to partners and the public through a variety of methods and products. For more detailed information about these facilities, use the FRS Query tool. Feature Layer: RCRA Large Quantity Generators (LQG) This layer contains detailed location and facility information for hazardous waste LQGs, which are facilities generating large amounts of hazardous waste regulated under RCRA. Data fields include facility identifiers, names, addresses, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), and administrative metadata such as EPA region codes and environmental interest types. Additional attributes provide insights into the facility’s regulatory status, location accuracy, and links to program-specific reports and webpages for further information. Geographic Coverage The dataset covers facilities across the United States, including territories and tribal areas. Applications Supporting environmental regulatory agencies in tracking and monitoring hazardous waste generators. Facilitating public access to accurate facility information for environmental research and community awareness. Enabling integration with other environmental datasets for broader environmental health and compliance studies. Data Source and Quality The data is maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with systematic updates to ensure accuracy and relevance. Geospatial coordinates conform to the NAD83 datum, and metadata fields document data creation and update dates to help assess currency. Licensing Unless otherwise specified, the data is in the public domain, free for use without copyright restrictions. Users should review associated metadata for any specific use conditions.概述 本图层提供收录于《资源保护与回收法信息系统》（Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information System, RCRAInfo）的危险废物大量产生者（Large Quantity Generators, LQG）的位置与设施信息。RCRAInfo是美国环境保护署（Environmental Protection Agency, EPA）的综合信息系统，用于支撑1976年《资源保护与回收法》（Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, RCRA）及1984年《固体废物修正案》（Solid Waste Amendments, HSWA）的实施。如需了解更多关于危险废物大量产生者的信息，请查阅相关情况说明书。 设施登记服务（Facility Registry Service, FRS）通过识别并地理空间定位受环境监管或具有环境关注度的设施、场地或场所，为EPA保护人类健康与环境的使命提供高质量设施数据支持。通过对传入数据开展空间处理并借助数据管护工具完善设施数据，最终以多种形式与产品向合作方及公众提供集成化数据集。如需了解这些设施的详细信息，请使用FRS查询工具。 要素图层：RCRA危险废物大量产生者（Large Quantity Generators, LQG） 本图层包含受RCRA监管的危险废物大量产生者的详细位置与设施信息，此类设施会产生大量受监管危险废物。数据字段涵盖设施标识符、名称、地址、地理坐标（纬度与经度），以及EPA区域代码、环境关注度类型等行政元数据。额外属性可辅助了解设施的监管状态、位置精度，同时提供指向专项项目报告及详情网页的链接，以便获取更多信息。 地理覆盖范围 本数据集覆盖美国全境范围内的相关设施，包括其海外领地及部落辖区。 应用场景 支持环境监管机构对危险废物产生者开展追踪与监测；为环境研究与公众环境意识提升提供准确的设施信息公共访问渠道；可与其他环境数据集集成，用于开展更广泛的环境健康与合规性研究。 数据来源与数据质量 本数据由美国环境保护署维护，并通过系统性更新确保数据的准确性与时效性。空间坐标符合NAD83基准面（NAD83 datum）标准，元数据字段记录了数据的创建与更新日期，便于用户评估数据的时效性。 授权条款 除另有说明外，本数据集属于公共领域数据，可免费使用且无版权限制。用户应查阅相关元数据以了解特定使用条件。
