U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) - Clean Water Act (CWA) Rest Services

Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) is a tool developed and maintained by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance for public use. ECHO provides integrated compliance and enforcement information for over 1 million regulated facilities nationwide. CWA Rest Services provides multiple service endpoints, each with specific capabilities, to search and retrieve data on facilities regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and managed under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. The returned results reflect data drawn from EPA's ICIS-NPDES database. \ The get_facilities, get_map, get_qid, and get_download end points are meant to be used together, while the enhanced get_facility_info end point is self contained. The get_facility_info end point returns either an array of state, county or zip clusters with summary statistics per cluster or an array of facilities. \ The recommended use scenario for get_facilities, get_qid, get_map, and get_downoad is: \ 1) Use get_facilities to validate passed query parameters, obtain summary statistics and to obtain a query_id (QID). QIDs are time sensitive and will be valid for approximately 30 minutes.
