[CPEO-BIF] New EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Website Up and Running

[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

A new EPA website, Enforcement & Compliance History Online
(www.epa.gov/echo) contains searchable compliance and enforcement
information on some 800,000 facilities in the United States.  Facilities
regulated under the following environmental statutes are included in the
database: Clean Air Act (CAA) Stationary Source Program; Clean Water Act
(CWA); National Pollutant Elimination Discharge System (NPDES); and
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).  This information was
publicly available before but was not in a searchable web format.  Now
EPA has integrated the data in a much more user-friendly fashion.

Information on the compliance history of regulated facilities can be
accessed after entering ZIP code or city and state. The site then lists
inspection, permit, violation, enforcement action, and penalty
information over the past 2 years for all the facilities in the
specified location.

A 60-day comment period on ECHO commenced on its release date of
November 20 and runs until January 21, 2003. During this time, the EPA
is soliciting public commentary about ECHO’s ease of operation as well
as the pertinence and accuracy of its information.

Comments on ECHO can be made at:
