Mapping Center

The ECHO Mapping Center provides a list of enforcement and compliance centric mapping options. These maps provide geospatial data in a variety of different views, from national summary level to facility-specific details.

View nationally published maps

• State Comparative Maps (2009 through 2013) - The ECHO State Comparative Maps provide a quick interactive way to review national trends and compare states and territories. Metrics for comparison include regulated facilities, inspections, violations, enforcement actions, and penalties.

• National Clean Water Act Trends Map (2008 & 2009) - The National Clean Water Act Trends Map was replaced by the State Comparative Maps in February of 2013, and will be retired in the near future.

• EPA and State Annual Enforcement Actions Map (Current) - The map combines EPA and state enforcement actions in one map, and shades states based on the frequency of enforcement. The map allows users to see year-to-date information that will be updated monthly, and gives users the ability to zoom-in to view facility-specific information about enforcement cases and facilities.

• Official EPA Enforcement Cases Map (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012) - Create custom maps using more recent data, or historical data under Item 4 below.

• Map of Chesapeake Bay Enforcement Actions (2009, 2010) - Chesapeake Bay Compliance and Enforcement Strategy.

• National Enforcement Initiatives Maps (2011, 2012) - Every three years, EPA sets national enforcement initiatives to focus civil and criminal enforcement resources and expertise on serious pollution problems affecting communities. The 2011-2013 initiatives were chosen with state and public input and support EPA’s seven priorities.
