This data set contains locations of EPA-regulated pollutant discharge facilities from the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS) database. ICIS-NPDES is an information management system designed to track permit compliance and enforcement status of facilities regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The NPDES permit program addresses water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants to waters of the United States. ICIS-NPDES is designed to support the NPDES program at the state, regional, and national levels. ICIS-NPDES is now the database of record for inspection data (both state and federal) for states that have been migrated to ICIS-NPDES from the Permit Compliance System (PCS). Additional Information is available at the EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/geospatial. |
