Example prompt: Can you look up EPA compliance records for chemical facilities in Texas — I want to see their air, water, and waste violation status, how many inspections they've had, and any penalties in the last five years?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured EPA enforcement and compliance data for regulated US facilities, including air, water, and hazardous waste status. Ideal for environmental due diligence, ESG research, community impact investigations, regulatory monitoring, or any workflow requiring facility-level EPA ECHO data without needing to scrape or navigate the EPA's own portal directly.

## Known failure modes

- No facilities found matching the query — returns empty facilities array
- Invalid state code returns error or empty results
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1-25) may be clamped or rejected
- Facility name text query too vague may return unrelated results
- EPA ECHO upstream data may be stale or incomplete for certain facilities

## How this service works

EPA ECHO regulated facilities by name, state or ZIP - air, water and waste compliance status, quarters in violation, inspections, actions and penalties

## Output

Returns a JSON object with total match count and an array of facilities, each including: name, registry ID, address, county, lat/lon coordinates, NAICS code, industry description, Clean Air Act status, Clean Water Act status, RCRA hazardous waste status, drinking water status, number of inspections in last 5 years, formal actions, quarters in violation, and total penalties in the last 5 years. Also includes applied filter context (state, ZIP).
