U.S. EPA Enforcement & Compliance History Online (ECHO)
EPA is Committed to Public Access to Environmental Information and Has Worked With States to Develop a Format for Providing Internet Access to Information Contained in Core EPA Data Systems. ECHO Focuses on Facility Compliance and EPA/State Enforcement of Environmental Regulations. Though the Data Included Within ECHO Have Been in the Public Domain Through Freedom of Information Act Requests and Mainframe Computer Subscription, the Information Was Not Available in a Searchable Web Format. ECHO Makes it Much Easier for the Public to Obtain These Data Records on the Internet.
