FAQ

Questions EPA ECHO owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I get the full compliance history for a specific facility?

    Use the get_detailed_facility_report capability with the specific Facility ID (p_id). This returns a comprehensive 'Detailed Facility Report' (DFR) covering all environmental programs, violations, and inspections.

  • 02

    Can I search for facilities by city or state?

    Yes! Capabilities like search_all_facilities or search_water_facilities accept p_ct (City) and p_st (State abbreviation) parameters to filter results geographically.

  • 03

    What information is included in the effluent charts?

    The get_effluent_chart capability provides data on permitted discharge limits, actual measured releases, and any exceedances or violations for Clean Water Act (NPDES) permits.
