Locus Environmental Records Screen

x402

Locus Environmental Records Screen is a paid API for AI agents from api.locus.report, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-28).

Searches federal and state government environmental databases (NPL, CERCLIS, RCRA, UST/LUST, TRI) near a US address or coordinate point, returning matched record rows with names, distances, and IDs within standard Phase I search distances.

How this service works

NPL, CERCLIS/state cleanup, RCRA CORRACTS/TSD, RCRA generators, UST/LUST, and TRI rows (name, distance, ids) at ASTM E1527-21 distances, for buyer, owner and lender agents. Use this when you need full source-backed environmental rows. Use locus_environmental_records_screen instead when you only need a bounded environmental public-record screen.

Output

A JSON object containing a unique call ID, a generatedAt timestamp, caveats about the data, and a records array. Each record entry identifies which regulatory list it comes from (NPL, CERCLIS, state cleanup, RCRA CORRACTS/TSD, RCRA generators, UST/LUST, TRI), the facility name, its distance from the queried point, and relevant government record identifiers. Lists are capped at 100 records each. Empty lists indicate no records found at standard search distances.

Example use cases

Phase I records search for acquisition

“I'm doing due diligence on a commercial property at 450 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022 — can you pull all the government environmental database records near it, including Superfund, RCRA, and underground storage tanks, and show me anything that shows up within standard search distances?”

SBA RSRA environmental data inputs

“I need the environmental government records screen results for 1800 Industrial Blvd, Houston, TX 77015 to fill out the SBA RSRA form — give me the NPL, CERCLIS, RCRA, UST/LUST, and TRI lists with record names and distances.”

LUST list check near a parcel

“Can you check whether there are any leaking underground storage tanks or UST records near the parcel at latitude 37.7749, longitude -122.4194 in San Francisco? I also want to see any RCRA or TRI hits nearby.”

Endpoint

POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-environmental-records-screen?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need government environmental database record rows (names, distances, IDs) for a specific US address or coordinate as part of Phase I ESA-style due diligence, SBA RSRA filings, or property risk screening. It covers NPL, CERCLIS, RCRA, UST/LUST, and TRI at standard search distances in a single call for $0.05. Prefer this over the free tool (which returns counts only) when you need actual record details. Use the heavier EPA context endpoint instead if you need narrative analysis or EPA enforcement context rather than raw record lists.

Side effects

Address not geocodable — returns error or empty records if the address cannot be resolved to a US coordinate
Address outside the US — endpoint covers national US only, international addresses will fail or return no results
Malformed input — missing both address and coordinates triggers a validation error
All lists empty — not a failure per se, but indicates no government records found at standard distances; does not mean the area is clean
Response latency — government database queries may occasionally time out under load
