About the Mapped Data

This interactive map shows information on concluded enforcement actions and cases from federal fiscal year 2024. They include: civil enforcement actions taken by EPA at facilities, criminal cases prosecuted by EPA under federal statutes and the U.S. Criminal Code, and cases in which EPA provided significant support to cases prosecuted under state criminal laws. They do not include: state civil cases or civil cases where EPA provided significant support to a state. The indicators on the map generally mark the location of the site or facility where the violations occurred or were discovered. Data are updated from the EPA program system on a weekly basis.
