Summary

Each year the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports permit, location, and discharge information for facilities across the United States and its territories through the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR). Because these data are cataloged through a variety of systems, including self-reporting, there are discrepancies that may lead to incorrect spatial interpretation of content in the database. The processing of this quality assessed and modified dataset included steps to evaluate the accuracy and potential limitations of DMR data between 2007 and 2019. Attributes within this tabular dataset include facility and outfall locations as well as confidence ratings for those locations, and hydrologic unit code (HUC) 12 information [...]

Purpose

This dataset was obtained from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) website (https://echo.epa.gov/tools/data-downloads/icis-npdes-download-summary). Facility data are frequently incorporated in the assessment of point source impacts on the natural landscape, and an understanding of the geographic accuracy of facility and outfall locations is a relevant component of that type of evaluation. Users of these data should refer to the metadata and/or DMR_ReadMe.docx file to understand the processing that went into the development of this quality assured and modified tabular dataset.
