SFIP Data Refresh

Historical Compliance Data

Compliance and enforcement data presented by SFIP is drawn from the EPA's Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) system.

  • Facility-level Statistics reports: data is current as of IDEA's April 2004 refresh.

  • Detailed Facility Reports: data is current as of IDEA's latest refresh. Refresh dates for the individual media databases (AFS for Clean Air Act data, PCS for Clean Water Act data, and RCRAInfo for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act data) integrated by IDEA appear at the bottom of each Detailed Facility Report.

EPA is committed to providing the greatest possible quality of data in SFIP. Changes made to the data maintained in AFS, PCS, and RCRAInfo are incorporated into IDEA on a regular schedule, and in turn, are incorporated into SFIP. Facilities may submit general or line-specific comments directly to EPA by clicking on the "Report Error" button at the top of their Detailed Facility Reports.

Spill Records

Pollutant spill records present data from the Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) database, and include spills reported between June 1, 2001 and May 31, 2003.

Toxics Release Inventory Data

SFIP presents TRI data from two sources. TRI Comparative spreadsheets, which can be downloaded from the Data Access page, are based on 2001 data "frozen" at the time of their public release by EPA. TRI release and transfer data presented in facility-level statistics reports and data summaries for the five industry sectors and the subset of federal facilities are the most current data maintained in the IDEA system (currently 2001 filings), and reflect any revised reports submitted since the latest public data release.

Production/Capacity Data

Annual production and production capacity data presented by SFIP are compiled once per year when the TRI Comparative spreadsheets (see above) are prepared. Production data presented are for the same year for which TRI "frozen" data (see above) are available, currently 2001.  

SFIP Facility Universe

EPA refers to the facilities included in SFIP as the "SFIP Facility Universe". Automobile assembly plants, iron and steel producers, petroleum refineries, primary nonferrous smelters and refiners, pulp mills, and federal facilities are included in SFIP if they operated during the calendar year covered by the current "frozen" TRI data, currently 2001. For definitions of the sectors included in SFIP and a list of sources used to create SFIP's facility universe, click here. The facility universe is updated during the review of production data performed each year when new TRI data are publicly released.
