ABSTRACT
What’s Here? Envirofacts provides tools to obtain information on the environment, including chemical releases, hazardous waste, Superfund, risk management plans, toxics release inventory, water discharge permits, preformatted query forms, and mapping applications through enviromapper, https://www.epa. gov/enviro/html/mod/index.html. You can type in search criteria in query forms (e.g., county and state) to retrieve information and obtain a report of environmental information that matches your criteria. The content varies according to the different forms available. The mapping applications generate maps that display environmental information for the entire U.S. You can go to either the mapping applications directly, or you can “Map the Results” of your query through tools such as “enviromapper.” Information is available from a collection of databases formed from those facilities that are required to report on releases and other environmental activities. You can retrieve information about hazardous waste, toxic and air releases, Superfund sites, water discharge permits, releases to the air from power plants, universities, steel mills, and factories.
