INFORMATIONAL BULLETIN FOR INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPERS
VOLUME 2003 - 2
Who Needs Your Technology? Markets, Please!
As an environmental technology devel-
oper, one of your key concerns is find-
ing a market for your technology: Who
can potentially use your device, your
system, or your idea to solve a critical
environmental problem? One way to
find potential users is to watch for the
Technology Opportunities section of
Envirotech News, a listserve managed
by EPA New England's Center for En-
vironmental Industry and Technology
(CEIT). The listserve provides timely
information on funding, verification
opportunities, upcoming conferences
and workshops as well as industry tech-
nology needs. However, there is a more
proactive, deliberate way. You can take
advantage of publically-available da-
tabases which provide detailed infor-
mation about companies that use and
release chemicals, require permits, and
violate air, water, land, toxics, and
waste regulations, if you know how
to find the relevant information.
For example, if a company devel-
ops a technology that uses carbon to
remove trace heavy metal species from
wastewater and drinking water and
wants to find its market, the develop-
ers can search databases that provide in-
formation on facilities that have per-
mits to discharge wastewater or distrib-
ute drinking water. The search can be
made by city, region or facility type.
The type of information that can be ob-
tained includes: contacts, addresses,
phone numbers, permits, quantities and
chemicals discharged or disposed of,
and violations. Using this information,
the developers may be able to identify
facilities who could potentially use
their technology
In a similar way, if a company de-
velops a technology which extracts hy-
drocarbons from gaseous waste streams,
the developers can search inventories
of air and toxic releases to obtain con-
tact, release, and enforcement informa-
tion for regulated facilities.
This Technovation highlights two

large environmental data warehouses -
Envirofacts and the Right to Know
Network (RTKnet) - and the databases
in each of these networks. Not all da-
tabases in each warehouse will be de-
scribed, databases that are not relevant
to technology developers may be omit-
ted. A summary is presented of how
each network is searched and the dif-
ferences in the information each pro-
vides. In addition, this issue of
Technovation highlights a new data
base - Enforcement and Compliance
History Online (ECHO).
As an appendix, we also provide in-
formation on accessing state sources for
economic assistance and links to other
sites that may be useful to technology
developers.

Which Warehouse Should I Use?
The Envirofacts Data Warehouse is a tool
provided by the EPA. It acts as a single
point of access to select EPA environmen-
tal data with information about environ-
mental activities that may affect air, water,
and land anywhere in the United States.
The Right to Know Network
2
(RTKnet) provides access to numerous
databases, text files, and conferences on
the environment, housing, and sustain-
able development. It is operated by two
nonprofit organizations—OMB Watch
and the Center for Public Data Access—
and funded by various government agen-
TECHNOVATION Volume2003—2
cies and foundations, including the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Envirofacts and RTKnet share
some databases. However, each con-
tains some databases that the other
does not. So if there is a specific area
cant

of interest to you, that should guide
your choice.
For shared databases: If you like
to click a single button and get infor-
mation without searching through a
number of layers, RTKnet may be bet-
ter suited for you. For each database
searched (except for the Toxic Release
Inventory), it gives a DOS-like print
out of the information requested. This
may mean searching through a long
list if your criteria are not specific. To
get more detailed information in
RTKnet, you will need to choose the
High Level Search. RTKnet allows
you the option of having the infor-
mation e-mailed to you.
If you like tables that give a summary
of information from which you can click
to find more details, Envirofacts may be
for you. You can also click to find defini-
tions and codes as well as other re-
lated information. The Envirofacts is
also the larger and more comprehensive
of the data warehouses.
Enforcement and Compliance
History Online (ECHO) is a new da-
tabase that is not included in either
network. ECHO provides compliance
and enforcement information for ap-
proximately 800,000 EPA-permitted
facilities nationwide. ECHO includes
permit, inspection, violation, enforce-
ment action, and penalty information
about these facilities.

Environmental Data Warehouses
Envirofacts Data Warehouse
To view the Envirofacts data ware-
house, visit http://www.epa.gov/
enviro/.
Information in Envirofacts is acces-
sible in a variety of ways. Quick Start
allows you to retrieve a sampling of in-
formation pertaining to a particular area
by entering a specific ZIP Code, City
and State, or County and State. Quick
Start is located in the left side bar. If
you want more in-depth information
about a subject area, you may select
from a list of available Topics, which
includes Waste, Water, Toxics, Air, Ra-
diation, Land, Other, and Maps. This
option also allows search by ZIP Code,
City and State, or County and State.
You may also choose Advanced Capa-
bilities which allows you to go directly
to the Queries, Maps or Reports fea-
ture that interest you. The advanced
search allows you to inquire by facility
name, geography, or Standard Indus-
trial Classification (SIC) Code. See
image at right for a view of the set up
and choices under Advanced Capabili-
ties. Advanced Capabilities may take a
little time to load. You may also click
on Advanced Queries to get a pull
down menu of the databases.
Under Advanced Capabilities there
is a Multisystem search option. This
option allows you to retrieve consoli-
dated information from a variety of
databases. You can get information
about hazardous waste (including the
Biennial Report), toxic and air re-
leases, Superfund sites, and water dis-
charge permits.
Envirofacts has a User's Guide for
each query to help you through the
search process.
You can also use the navigation
links on the left side of the homepage
to see the latest Data Update dates for

to individually search a number of da-
tabases or perform a master search. The
master search is an experimental program
for exploring all RTKnet's environmen-
tal facility-based databases at the same
time. It currently produces a very lim-
ited set of data for each facility so you
should basically use it to find out what
data records are available, then search
the relevant database. RTKnefs search
options include geographical area, in-
dustry and facility. The page for search-
ing the databases is set up similar to the
diagram in the adjacent table. Asterisks
denote the databases that are also fea-
tured in Envirofacts. For more informa-
tion on any database, you can click on
that database, then click on 'About the
Data'.
Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO)
ECHO can be viewed at http://www.epa.gov/echo/
The database provides facility information for the last two years, on whether:
• EPA or State/local governments have conducted compliance inspections,
• Violations were detected; or,
• Enforcement actions were taken and penalties were assessed in response
to environmental law violations.
ECHO provides links to related databases in Envirofacts.
You can search compliance data (all programs), air data, water data, or haz-
ardous waste data. You can also search by community (eg. Salem, MA). Queries
can be made by facility characteristics, geographic location, inspection/enforce-
ment history, compliance information, and demographic profile. Only larger
facilities are shown unless you select "Include Minor Facilities", which is located
at the bottom of the advanced search forms.

Which Warehouse Should I Use?
During the process of research-
ing this issue of Technovation, CEIT
learned a number of lessons while
exploring the two warehouses and
ECHO. Our advice is as follows:
• Be patient and persistent.
• Start with ECHO—it is easier
to use.
• Begin with a broad search for
both Data Warehouses. For
RTK, use the low detail option.
• Then narrow your search using:
geographic area, industry, and
other options.
• Check database reporting fre-
quency.
• Use hotline or e-mail options if
you need assistance.
• Remember each database was
created for a distinct audience—
not envirotech developers.

Environmental Databases by Topic
Air
Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS)/ AIRS Facility Subsystem (AF$)(ED)
Information on air releases is con-
tained in the Aerometric Information
Retrieval System (AIRS), a com-
puter-based repository for informa-
tion about air pollution in the
United States. This information
comes from source reports by various
stationary sources of air pollution,
such as electric power plants, steel
mills, factories, and universities, and
provides information about the air
pollutants they produce. The air re-
lease information specifically relates
to industrial plants and their compo-
nents (stacks, points, and segments).
This data provides valuable informa-
tion not only about the industrial fa-
cilities, but about the chemicals they
introduce into the air.
You may use the Air Releases
Query to retrieve selected data from
Envirofacts using any combination of
facility name, geographic location,
and standard industrial classification.
Land
Facility Registry $ystem(ED)
The Facility Registry System (FRS) is
a centrally managed database, which
provides a single on-line source of com-
prehensive information about facilities
subject to environmental regulations or
of environmental interest. The FRS
contains accurate and authoritative fa-
cility identification records which are
subjected to rigorous verification and
data management quality assurance pro-
cedures. FRS records are continuously
reviewed and enhanced by a Regional
Data Steward network and active State
partners. As of July 2002, FRS has over
1.1 million unique facility records link-
ing to over 1.5 million program inter-
ests such as:
•Toxic Release Inventory Submitters
(all years: 1987-1999)
•Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act Information (RCRAInfo)
•Risk Management Plans (RMPs)
•Permit Compliance System (PCS)-
Majors and Minors
•Biennial Reporting System (BRS)
1995/1997
•Aerometric Information Retrieval
System (AIRS)/AIRS Facility Sub-
system
•Comprehensive Environmental Re-
sponse, Compensation, and Liability
Information System (CERCLIS)
• State master records from Pennsylva-
nia, Utah, Mississippi, South Caro-
lina, Nebraska, Minnesota, Ohio, In-
diana, and Maryland
Facility Registry System also in-
cludes locational information which
provides accurate mapping (Enviro-
Mapper) of the facilities regulated by
EPA. Detailed facility data can be re-
trieved using the Facility Registry Sys-
tem Query. For a more focused search,
use EZ Query, which enables you to
individualize the investigation of data
elements and structure your report by
selecting from a number of predeter-
mined views.
Facility Index System
(HNDS)
EPAs Facility Index System database
(FINDS) is a listing of the names, ad-
dresses, and ID numbers of all facilities
regulated by EPA. In its simplest sense,
FINDS contains two sets of informa-
tion about each facility:
• Facility identification data—such as
its unique ID number, name, and
physical address; and
• "Pointers" to other sources of infor-
mation—that is, other EPA programs
and their databases which contain
more detailed information about the
facility, such as the Office of Water's
Permit Compliance System (PCS).
FINDS has a new data structure.
It now has both master records and
alias records. A master record describes
the most accurate information for a fa-
cility that is known to EPA. An alias
record describes information for a fa-
cility as it appears in another EPA da-
tabase. A single facility will have one
master record and one or many alias
records in FINDS. To access alias records
you must choose High Detail Search.
Locational Information'"*'
The primary objective of Locational
Information is to identify, collect,
verify, store, and maintain an accurate,
consistently documented set of
locational data for entities of environ-
mental concern. Locational informa-
tion for EPA-regulated facilities in
Envirofacts is cultivated from many
sources, including EPA federal program
systems (through monthly snapshots),
and EPA regional offices and the states
(through Supplementary Return Files).
TECHNOVATION Volume2003—2

Maps
EnviroMapper(ED)
EnviroMapper is a powerful tool used
to map various types of environmental
information, including air releases,
drinking water, toxic releases, hazard-
ous wastes, water discharge permits,
and Superfund sites. Select a geographic
area within EnviroMapper and view the
different facilities that are present
within that area. You can zoom-in by
specifying a city, county, state, ZIP
code, watershed, or EPA region or by
clicking on the map.
OpenLink
OpenLink provides a link to environ-
mental information in a community via
EnviroMapper. By simply adding a
hyperlink in your Web page, a map
image will be generated dynamically
and displayed on your Web page to-
gether with other text and images.
WME
Window to My Environment (WME)
is a new website designed to improve
access to useful community-based en-
vironmental information.
After choosing a location, WME
will provide the following:
1. Interactive Map: shows the location
of regulated facilities, monitoring
sites, water bodies, population den-
sity, perspective topographic views
and so much more with hotlinks to
state/federal information about these
items of interest.
2. Your Window: provides selected
geographic statistics about an area of
interest, including estimated popu-
lation, county/urban area designations,
local watersheds/waterbodies, etc.
3. Your Environment: links to infor-
mation from federal, state, and local
partners on environmental issues like
air and water quality, watershed
health, Superfund sites, fish adviso-
ries, impaired waters, as well as local
services working to protect the en-
vironment in an area.
WME currently provides fed-
eral, state, and local links for all
states. Information for Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands will be in-
cluded in 2003.
Radiation
Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring $ystem(ED)
The Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System (ERAMS) is a
national network of more than 200 monitoring stations distributed across
all 50 states and the American Territories. Each station regularly samples
the nation's air, precipitation, drinking water, or pasturized milk for a vari-
ety of radionuclides (e.g., iodine-131) and radiation types (e.g., gross beta
(b)). Since it began in 1973, ERAMS has collected over a half million high
quality environmental samples. The current database primarily provides
data that have been collected since 1978. Some older "pre-ERAMS" data
are included, and additional data will be added soon.
Law Action
DOCKET"™'
EPAs Civil Docket database (DOCKET)
contains records of all civil cases filed
by the Dept. of Justice on behalf of
EPA. However, it doesn't contain
records of criminal cases or EPA
administrative actions and penalties.
You can search DOCKET by
facility/area, defendant or case.
Toxics
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI)'
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
contains information about more
than 650 toxic chemicals that are be-
ing used, manufactured, treated,
transported, or released into the en-
vironment. TRI is multi-media. Fa-
cilities are required to report annu-
ally the amounts they release to air,
land, water, and underground, sepa-
rately, and to report how much they
send offsite. To better understand TRI
data, it is recommended that you or-
der a copy of the reporting form
"Form R" from the TRI Hotline (1-
800-424-9346).
Note that safety or health infor-
mation about the chemicals and com-
pounds is not provided. However, in
Envirofacts links are provided to
sources of supplemental information.
Envirofacts
TRI can be searched by facility, geog-
raphy, standard industrial classification
(SIC) or by chemical name. Envirofacts
provides additional capabilities in both
EZ and Customized query forms.
Here, for example, you may search by
year, or in the case of the customized
query, access the entire TRI database.
If you know the name of a facility, you

can opt to search Multisystem facility
information or only TRI facility infor-
mation. All other searches will give you
a list of companies in a geographical
area, with an SIC, or releasing a certain
chemical. You can limit your search of
SIC or chemical code by EPA Region,
city, county, or state.
When you receive the list of com-
panies and associated facility ID's, you
can click on the underlined facility ID
of a company to get a detailed report
on that facility. This will provide gen-
eral facility information; allow you to
map the facility; give you a link to other
regulatory data on the company; pro-
vide total aggregate releases of TRI
chemicals (in table and graphic forms);
and give chemicals released to the en-
vironment, sent off-site or to publically
owned treatment works. You can also
click on "View Facility Information"
to view EPA Facility information for
that facility. This will give you contact
names and phone numbers.
RTKnet
RTKnet's TRI database can also be
searched by facility, geographical area,
standard industrial classification (SIC)
or by chemical name. RTKnet allows
you to search by year. If you choose all
years, it will give you a list of compa-
nies for each year. From there, you will
need to click on the company name to
retrieve information for that year.
RTKnet does not provide aggregated
information.
The TRI search in RTKnet will
provide facility information, chemical
names, public and technical contacts
for the chemical; activities and uses;
releases and transfers; waste genera-
tion; management and production
past, present and projected; and
method of source reduction used.
The result of this search also provides
a link to the Environmental Defense
Scorecard report for the particular fa-
cility. This report contains extensive
health effect and other data.
Toxic Substances Control Act
Test Submissions
(TSCATS)
TSCATS contains studies done about
the effects of chemicals.
RMP Search (RTK;EDi"dirert|ythr°»ghFRS)
RMP Search in RTKnet gives you Ex-
ecutive Summaries of Risk Manage-
ment Plans. You have to provide your
e-mail address to get information.
Emergency Response
Notification System(ERNS)
The ERNS database is a record of all
phone calls made to the National Re-
sponse Center (NRC). The NRC
should be notified when any one of a
number of different types of spills or
releases of toxic substances occur, in-
cluding oil spills and CERCLA releases.
ERNS also includes Coast Guard
sightings of spills at sea.
Waste
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information System (RCRIS)'
The Resource Conservation and Re-
covery Act Information System
(RCRIS) is primarily used to track
handler permit or closure status,
compliance with Federal and State
regulations, and cleanup activities.
Other uses of the data include program
management, regulation development,
waste handler inventorying, corrective
action tracking, regulation enforcement,
facility management planning, and en-
vironmental program progress assess-
ment. If you are looking for informa-
tion about quantities and shipment of
hazardous waste, you will probably do
better using the BRS database.
Envirofacts
You can specify a facility using any
combination of facility name, geo-
graphic location, standard industrial
classification, handler type, and pro-
cess. You may also select an output
option-basic information, handler/
facility classification, or process in-
formation. Envirofacts also allows
you to generate a map of the facility.
RTKnet
You can search RTKnet by geographic
area, facility, and industry. A unique
feature of the RTKnet output is in-
formation on the number of permits,
number of recorded violations, and
number and dollar amount of penalties.
Accidental Release Info
Program(RTK)
Accidental Release Information Pro-
gram (ARIP) collects questionnaire
information from facilities that have
had significant releases of hazardous
substances, develops a national acci-
dental release database, analyzes the
collected information, and dissemi-
nates the results of the analysis to those
involved in chemical accident preven-
tion activities.
TECHNOVATION Volume2003—2
-------
Biennial Reporting System (BRS)'
The Biennial Reporting System collects
data on the generation, management,
and minimization of hazardous waste.
The system provides detailed informa-
tion on the generation of hazardous
waste from large quantity generators and
on waste management practices from
treatment, storage, and disposal facili-
ties. Data about the previous year's haz-
ardous waste activities is reported on
even years by the facilities to EPA. EPA
then provides reports on hazardous
waste generation and management ac-
tivity that accompany the data files. In-
formation on related laws and regula-
tions is also available at http:/www.epa.gov/
enviro/html/rcris/rcris_overview.html
Envirofacts
You can query by facility identification,
geographical area, SIC, reporting year,
waste origination code, management
location, treatment system, descrip-
tion of how waste originated, EPA haz-
ardous waste code, form code, or
search code. Data is available for re-
porting years 1989, 1991, 1993,
1995, and 1997. In addition to the
facility and basic waste information, a
search in Envirofacts will also provide
a BRS Facility detail report. An ab-
breviated example is shown below. You
can click on underlined or highlighted
words—for example, GENERATOR
STATUS—to obtain descriptions.
RTKnet
You can search by geographic area, fa-
cility, industry, generated waste, or re-
ceived waste. Data is available from re-
porting years 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995,
1997, and 1999. A Low Detail Search,
will give facility and basic waste infor-
mation. A High Detail Search will also
give a list of waste generated by the fa-
cility. Additionally, RTKnet provides
contact name and phone number. An
abbreviated example of RTKnefs High
