Six-Year Review Contaminant Occurrence Data

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires EPA to review each National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) at least once every six years and revise them, if appropriate.  The purpose of the review, called the Six-Year Review, is to identify those NPDWRs for which current health effects assessments, changes in technology, and/or other factors provide a health or technical basis to support a regulatory revision that will maintain or strengthen public health protection. To support the national contaminant occurrence and exposure assessments performed under the Six-Year Review process, EPA analyzes SDWA compliance monitoring data from public water supplies for regulated drinking water contaminants.  This analysis allows EPA to characterize the national occurrence of contaminants to help the Agency determine if there may be a meaningful opportunity to improve public health protection.

State National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program Withdrawal Petitions

Search for pending and resolved NPDES withdrawal petitions by state, region, date, or keyword.  "Pending" means EPA has received the petition and is working with the state and petitioner to resolve it. "Withdrew petition" means that the petitioner has withdrawn the petition they submitted. "Resolved" means that EPA has resolved the issues raised in the petition and has denied the petition. "Partially resolved" means that EPA has partially denied the petition by resolving some of the issues, while continuing to work with the state and petitioner on other pending issues. "Program withdrawn" would apply if, after conducting investigations, EPA withdrew a state's NPDES authority.

Data on Aquatic Resources Tracking for Effective Regulation

DARTER is EPA's system to manage its workflow in the Clean Water Act Section 404 permit program. Section 404 requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or EPA-approved State, for the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. EPA plays a number of roles in the Section 404 permit program including developing and interpreting policy, guidance and environmental criteria used in evaluating permit applications, determining the scope of geographic jurisdiction and reviewing and commenting on proposed Section 404 permits. DARTER allows EPA staff to: 
- Track agency involvement in pre-application coordination, review of public notices for proposed permits, review of third party mitigation projects and proposed jurisdictional determinations;
- Prepare and share EPA-generated jurisdictional determinations; and
- Access shared data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ national regulatory program data management system known as OMBIL Regulatory Module (ORM2)

WIFIA Vault

The Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (WIFIA) established a federal credit program administered by EPA. WIFIA authorizes EPA to provide loans to eligible water infrastructure projects. After a loan is closed, WIFIA’s portfolio management team leads individual transactions from closing to final maturity (this can be 35+ years). Portfolio management responsibilities are numerous but generally are intended to achieve the following critical objectives:
•	monitor portfolio risk and compliance, 
•	track key loan requirements, information and status, 
•	document and track disbursements, repayments, and related accounting actions, 
•	maintain and document borrower communication, and 
•	maintain robust loan-specific and portfolio-wide metrics reporting capabilities.

Water Contaminant Information Tool

The Water Contaminant Information Tool (WCIT) is a secure, on-line database that provides current, reliable information on chemical, biological, and radiological contaminants of concern for water security. The WCIT database assists in planning for and responding to drinking water and wastewater (water) contamination threats and incidents. As a planning tool, WCIT supports vulnerability assessments, emergency response plans, and site-specific response guidelines. As a response tool, WCIT provides contaminant data to help responders (including utilities) make appropriate response decisions. WCIT also helps EPA to identify gaps in contaminant data, which will, in turn, help inform future research efforts.

The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Wildland Fire Perimeters By Year 2000 - 2010

This dataset represents the historical fire perimeters within individual local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on the GeoMAC (Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination) mapping tool. Fire perimeters contain data as they are submitted by field offices to GeoMAC (Geospatial Multi-Agency Coordination) in a polygon format. Fire perimeter data is based on input from incident intelligence sources, GPS data, infrared (IR) imagery from fixed wing and satellite platforms. Polygons are selected by year and then converted into a binary raster format where values of 1 represent fire perimeters of the given year and 0 describes the remaining areas across the CONUS, leaving No Data to be anything outside the CONUS border. The wildland fire characteristics (% forest loss to fire) were summarized by year to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.

The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Wetness Index

This dataset represents the wetness index within individual local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on the Composite Topographic Index (See Supplementary Info for Glossary of Terms). The Composite Topographic Index (CTI) is based on contributing area, slope, and overland flow and has been developed internally at the EPA for the EnviroAtls (http://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas/National/). As defined for use in EnviroAtlas datasets and as used here, wet areas are typically created by runoff from natural land cover when rain falls on saturated soil. Surface and rill (or small channel) runoff carries excess water to lowland depressions or wet areas. Runoff collects in wet areas until they fill and overflow downstream. In this way, stream networks can be extended into new areas that would not be hydrologically connected during drier times. Wet area expansion and watershed hydrological connectivity differ between humid temperate and semi-arid and arid climates (where drought and soil crusts limit infiltration and produce flashier runoff) (from https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/datafactsheets/pdf/ESN/PercentForestonWetAreas.pdf). The Mean Composite Topographic Index (CTI)[Wetness Index] were summarized to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.
