Abstract: The Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides quality facility data to support EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment by identifying and geospatially locating facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations of environmental interest. Facility data is improved with geospatial processing of incoming data and data curation tools to provide an integrated, dataset to partners and the public through a variety of methods and products. For more detailed information about these facilities, use the FRS Query tool. This layer provides location and attribute information for Facilities regulated under the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS). SEMS integrates multiple legacy systems (e.g. CERCLIS, ICTS, SDMS) into a comprehensive inventory of active and archived hazardous waste sites evaluated by the Superfund program. It contains sites that are either proposed to be, or are on, the National Priorities List (NPL) as well as sites that are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion in the NPL.
Purpose: Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) facilities in the United States and its territories.

Supplemental information: The purpose of this web feature service is to provide users with access to information stored in the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS), made available through direct connection to FRS. The information in FRS may be used to track sites, facilities, or areas of environmental interest. This is an EPA-Produced Data Set. This data set is one in a series of Image and Feature Services published by USEPA. Additional services can be found at the http://geogateway.epa.gov/Portal website.

Process step:
Description: Data records contained within are a materialized view based on the EPA geospatial tables which are refreshed based on the record's Last_Reported_Date field. The view is based on a join of the facility site table and the interest table to include the universe of interest types per program system id. Data records that do not contain positional information (latitude and longitude values) are not in this view. Imported data into file geodatabase as new feature classes. Created ISO-compliant metadata for each file geodatabase feature class. Created Esri ArcGIS Pro map document (APRX). Created ISO-compliant metadata for the data download package. Zipped data, map document, and metadata.
