## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability locus-rcra-handlers-property-scan-5be8317b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a Locus RCRA handlers scan on 1234 Industrial Blvd, Houston TX 77002 to check for any hazardous waste records or environmental risk signals that might affect the property?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to check EPA RCRA hazardous waste handler records and environmental risk signals for a specific US property or location, especially during real estate due diligence, site assessment, or environmental compliance review. Prefer this over general property data APIs when the specific concern is hazardous waste history or environmental liability.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized US address returns empty records array
- Missing both address and ZIP code causes request validation failure
- Non-US addresses are not supported
- Payment of 0.05 USDC required via x402 protocol or 402 response returned
- Rural or very new addresses may return sparse or no records
- ZIP code only queries may return broader less precise results

## How this service works

EPA RCRA hazardous-waste handlers for a county/ZIP. Perfect for: 'hazardous waste sites in a county', 'EPA RCRA handlers near a ZIP', 'generators in my area', 'waste facility lookup'. Returns cited EPA RCRAInfo handler records (generator status, activities, coordinates, ECHO links) for a state+county or ZIP with optional proximity ranking. National via EPA Envirofacts. Reporting notifications only -- not violations or contamination. Charge-free when the lookup fails.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a report ID, array of RCRA handler records found near or at the property, environmental risk signals, applicable caveats, and a generation timestamp indicating when the scan was produced.
