Results Guide
The search results present data from several EPA data sources. Read About the Data for more information on each data source and when the data were last updated in ECHO. See the Known Data Problems page for important notifications about data quality.
Key Terms
"Violation," "noncompliance," "significant noncompliance," and "high priority violation" are all terms used by the ECHO website to describe the facility’s status in regard to compliance with the law. In many cases, these terms reflect determinations made by EPA or states when conducting compliance monitoring activities or reviewing facility self-reports. These determinations assist the government in tracking resolution of violations through the enforcement process and do not necessarily represent a final adjudication by a judicial or administrative body. In such cases, these characterizations should be considered alleged violations.
Data fields included in the search results are described below. The results page field name is listed in bold and the data download file field name is listed [within brackets in italics].
Facility Information
Company or permit holder name, as maintained by each data system. The facility name may differ across EPA databases due to differences in reported information, change in ownership, use of parent or subsidiary name, etc.
A unique 12-character ID assigned for each record/permit/site/facility within the RCRAInfo database. This identifier is used to track waste handlers subject to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The ID may contain both letters and numbers and often begins with the two-letter abbreviation for the state in which the facility is permitted.
Graphical indicator denoting whether geographical data required to map a facility are available. A gray pin denotes a facility without valid spatial coordinates.
Street Address (Address, City, County [Program System], County [FRS], State, State District, and ZIP Code) [RCRAStreet, RCRACity, RCRACounty, FacStdCountyName, RCRAState, RCRAStateDistrict, RCRAZip]
Street address, city, county, state, RCRA state district, and ZIP code where facility is located, as maintained by each data system. Certain data systems also maintain mailing address information, which is not used in this report. The street address may differ across EPA databases due to differences in reported information (e.g., use of mailing address), change in ownership, use of parent or subsidiary address, etc. The search logic includes results that match specified address criteria in any source database. The address displayed in the search results table reflects information in the Facility Registry Service (FRS) database.
Facility Information included on this page is associated with a particular Facility Registry Service (FRS) ID. FRS uniquely identifies a facility by assigning a 12-digit identification number (FRS ID), and uses this FRS ID to link together all regulatory program database records (such as permit IDs and facility IDs that facilities use in reporting to EPA).

Financial Record Reviews and Non-Financial Record Reviews are evaluations of compliance, but they typically take place in the regulatory agency office. These types of evaluations are included on the Detailed Facility Report.
An indication of the facility's current compliance status under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Yes: Indicates that the facility is currently designated in Significant Noncompliance (SNC) under RCRA. A RCRA site is considered to be in Significant Noncompliance in the most recent compliance quarter of record when there is actual exposure or a substantial likelihood of exposure to hazardous waste/constituents, the facility is a chronic or recalcitrant violator; or a substantial deviation occurred from the terms of a permit, order, agreement or RCRA statutory or regulatory requirements.
No: Indicates that the facility is not in SNC under RCRA.
Count of the number of quarters, out of the last twelve quarters, in which the permit or site is considered either with violations, in noncompliance (NC) status, or in Significant Noncompliance (SNC). A quarter is any of the following 3-month calendar periods: January-March, April-June, July-September, or October-December. Further violation and detailed compliance information can be found on ECHO's Frequently Asked Questions page.
If the facility is in current violation, the facility's violation types are listed. The type of violation may depend on both the type of facility and the part of the site that had the violation. RCRA violation types are listed in the Nationally Defined Values for Violation Type (PDF) (7 pp, 16 K, About PDF) from the source data system, RCRAInfo.
Quarters with Significant Noncompliance (SNC) (3 years)[RCRAQtrsWithSNC]
Count of the number of quarters, out of the last twelve quarters, in which the permit or site is considered in Significant Noncompliance (SNC).

Further violation and detailed compliance information can be found on ECHO's Frequently Asked Questions page.
The beginning date (MM/DD/YYYY) of the oldest open violation under RCRA.
There are many enforcement action types (also called "tools") available to EPA enforcement and compliance assurance programs. Some tools are used to notify regulated entities regarding potential violations (e.g., Warning Letter, Notice of Non-Compliance). Others are used to advise regulated entities of an impending enforcement action and invite settlement (e.g., Notice of Violation, Show Cause Letter, Pre-Filing Notice Letter, and Notice of Intent to File an Administrative Complaint). Others are the actual enforcement action (e.g., Administrative Penalty Order, Administrative Compliance Order).
