What Spills Have Been Reported For my Facility?
The National Response Center (NRC) is the sole federal point of contact for reporting oil and chemical spills. In addition to gathering and distributing spill data for Federal On-Scene Coordinators, the NRC serves as the communications and operations center for the National Response Team, which is chaired by EPA. Through this website, the user can download Excel files of reports that have been made to the Center.
This system provides fast and easy access to the TRI data to help communities identify facilities and chemical releases that warrant further study and analysis.
A free program you can use to find out about the reactivity of substances or mixtures of substances (reactivity is the tendency of substances to undergo chemical change). It includes:
  • a database of reactivity information for more than 6,000 common hazardous chemicals,
  • a way for you to virtually "mix" chemicals--like the chemicals in a derailed tankcars --to find out what dangers could arise from accidental mixing.
Does Your Facility Treat Drinking Water?
The Safe Drinking Water Act requires states to report drinking water information periodically to EPA. This information is maintained in a federal database, the SDWIS Fed Data Warehouse. Included is basic information about each public water system, including: the system's name; ID number; city or county served; number of people served; type of system (residential, transient, non-transient); whether the system operates year-round or seasonally; and characteristics of the system's source(s) of water.
