EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS): ER_WWTP_NPDES

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Environmental Information (OEI) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2016-06-29T00:00:00.000+00:00
This web feature service contains location and facility identification information from EPA's Facility Registry System (FRS) for the subset of Waste Water Treatment Plant facilities that link to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) module of the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS tracks NPDES surface water permits issued under the Clean Water Act. Under NPDES, all facilities that discharge pollutants from any point source into waters of the United States are required to obtain a permit. The permit will likely contain limits on what can be discharged, impose monitoring and reporting requirements, and include other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not adversely affect water quality. FRS identifies and geospatially locates facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. Using vigorous verification and data management procedures, FRS integrates facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records and provides EPA with a centrally managed, single source of comprehensive and authoritative information on facilities. This data set contains the subset of FRS integrated facilities that link to NPDES facilities once the ICIS-NPDES data has been integrated into the FRS database. Additional information on FRS is available at the EPA website https://www.epa.gov/enviro/facility-registry-service-frs.
