What Clean Water Act NPDES permits records mean for a property search

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System requires a permit for discharges of pollutants from a point source into waters of the United States. Many permitted sites are industrial, municipal or construction related.

What a listing does and does not show

A permit listing shows the right to discharge under stated conditions. Compliance status fields in the record report what EPA shows, not what is on the ground.

SiteRecord lists public EPA ECHO facility records near an address. It is not an environmental consultant, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, or a legal advisor. A listing is not a finding of contamination, and the absence of a listing is not a finding that a site is clean. Nobody reviews individual reports and no reply or support is offered.
