The Envirofacts Data Warehouse contains information from select EPA Environmental program office databases and provides access about environmental activities that may affect air, water, and land anywhere in the United States. The Envirofacts Warehouse supports its own web enabled tools as well as a host of other EPA applications.

Users can access data about environmental exposures including but not limited to air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, toxins, and radiation. Background The Envirofacts database is maintained by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Users can access several EPA databases and learn about exposures in specific areas. Additionally, users can generate maps of environmental information. User functionality Users can search for data in several ways. Users can use the quick start search on the home page to retrieve a sampling of information pertaining to a specific area by entering a ZIP code, City and S tate, or County and State. For more specific searches, users can select from a list of topics including Air, Waste, Facility, Land, Toxic Releases, Compliance, Water, Radiation and Other. The Multisystem Search form allows users to search multiple environmental databases for facility information, including toxic chemical releases, water discharge permit compliance, hazardous waste handling processes, Superfund status, and air emission estimates. The website offers several choices for downloading data. Most searches allow data to be downloaded in CSV files. The Geospatial Download feature enables a user to download spatial data files for use in mapping and reporting applic ations. Data Notes Detailed information about the data is available under the “About the Data” Tab. There is no indication as to when data will be updated.

This map service contains GIS data from the EPA Office of Water 305(b) Assessed Waters Program. The information supporting this service resides in the Reach Address Database (RAD) which is part of the Watershed Assessment, Tracking & Environmental Results System (WATERS).The 305(b) program system provide assessed water data and assessed water features for river segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act. 305(b) waterbodies are coded onto NHDPlus v2.1 features creating area, point and linear events representing assessed and non-assessed waters. In addition to NHDPlus reach indexed data there may also be custom events (point, line, or area) that are not associated with NHDPlus and are in an EPA standard format that is compatible with EPA's Reach Address Database. These custom events are used to represent locations of 305(b) waterbodies that are not represented well in NHDPlus. To identify the spatial extent of waters listed under the 305(b) program attributed as being assessed in the ATTAINS database, these waters can be linked to the 305(b) information stored in the EPA's Assessment and TMDL Tracking and Implementation System (ATTAINS) for query and display. Use the Source_FeatureID field and Cycle_Year field to link indexed assessed waters to the EPA's ATTAINS Database.

Lake water quality is known to be affected by local and regional drivers, including lake physical characteristics, hydrology, landscape position, land cover, land use, geology, and climate. Here, we demonstrate the utility of hypothesis testing within the landscape limnology conceptual framework using a random forest algorithm on large, national-scale, spatially explicit dataset, the United States Environmental Protection Agency 2007 National Lakes Assessment. For 1026 lakes, we tested the relative importance of water quality drivers across spatial scales, the importance of hydrologic connectivity in mediating water quality drivers, and how the importance of both spatial scale and connectivity differ across response variables for five important in-lake water quality metrics (total phosphorus, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, turbidity, and conductivity).
