Materials Discarded in the U.S. Municipal Waste Stream, 1960 to 2009 (in tons)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has collected and reported data on the generation and disposal of waste in the United States for more than 30 years. We use this information to measure the success of waste reduction and recycling programs across the country. Our trash, or municipal solid waste (MSW), is made up of the things we commonly use and then throw away. These materials include items such as packaging, food scraps, grass clippings, sofas, computers, tires, and refrigerators. MSW does not include industrial, hazardous, or construction waste. The data on Materials Discarded in the Municipal Waste Stream, 1960 to 2009, provides estimated data in thousands of tons discarded after recycling and compost recovery for the years 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009. In this data set, discards include combustion with energy recovery. This data table does not include construction & demolition debris, industrial process wastes, or certain other wastes. The "Other" category includes electrolytes in batteries and fluff pulp, feces, and urine in disposable diapers. Details may not add to totals due to rounding.

Substance Identification Information from EPA's Substance Registry

The Substance Registry Services (SRS) is the authoritative resource for basic information about substances of interest to the U.S. EPA and its state and tribal partners.  Substances, particularly chemicals, can have many valid synonyms.  For example, toluene, methyl benzene, and phenyl methane, are commonly used names for the same chemical.  EPA programs collect environmental data for this chemical using each of these names, plus others.  This diversity leads to problems when a user is looking for programmatic data for toluene but is unaware that the data is stored under the synonym methyl benzene.  For each substance, the SRS identifies the statutes, EPA programs, as well as organization external to EPA, that track or regulate that substance and the synonym used by that statute, EPA program or external organization.  Besides standardized information for each chemical, such as the Chemical Abstracts Services name and the Chemical Abstracts Number and the EPA Registry Name (the EPA standard name), the SRS also includes additional information, such as molecular weight and molecular formula.  Additionally, an SRS Internal Tracking Number uniquely identifies each substance, enabling cross-walking between synonyms. 

EPA is providing a large .ZIP file providing the SRS data in CSV format, and a separate small metadata file in XML containing the field names and definitions.

Grand Traverse Overall Supply Air Monitoring

EPA is conducting soil remediation: contaminated soils are being excavated and hauled offsite to an approved landfill. During soil excavation and backfill activities, we will collect air samples each day to monitor the ambient air for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the end of each day, the four summa canisters that have been taking readings will be sent to a lab for analysis. We are measuring approximately 30 different VOCs using the standard lab method TO-15. Results will be compared to the Michigan ambient air standards. Acronyms: AA: Ambient Air EA: Excavation Area PN: Perimeter North PNW: Perimeter Northwest PS: Perimeter South PSW: Perimeter Southwest ppb: Parts per billion RPD: Relative Percent Difference RL: Reporting Limit MDL: Method Detection Limit Qualifier definitions: *: Recovery or RPD exceeds control limits B: Compound was found in the blank and sample. J: Result is less than the RL but greater than or equal to the MDL and the concentration is an approximate value. U: Indicates the analyte was analyzed for but not detected.

State Grant Information Technology Application (SGITA)

The State Grant IT Application (SGITA) was created in response to Grants Policy Issuance (GPI) 11-03, State Grant Workplans and Progress Reports. The policy was developed by the State Grant Workplan Workgroup and was designed 1) enhance accountability for achieving grant performance objectives; 2) ensure that State grants are aligned with the Agency 2019 Strategic Plan; and 3) provide for more consistent performance reporting. To achieve those objectives, the GPI requires that workplans and associated progress reports prominently display three Essential Elements the EPA Strategic Plan Goal; the EPA Strategic Plan Objective; and Workplan Commitments plus time frame. The GPI applies to the fourteen State grant programs previously subject to the State Grant Performance Measures Template. It supplements, but in no way supersedes, existing workplan requirements in 40 C.F.R. Part 35 Subpart A. The effective date of the GPI is October 1, 2012. Awards made under Program Code for State and Tribal Underground Storage Tanks Program utilizing STAG funds are required to submit workplans and progress reports in SGITA. Those awards funded using LUST funds are not applicable to GPI 11-03. If an award has both STAG and LUST funds, those workplans and progress reports must be entered into SGITA. SGITA was developed from a requirement in the GPI stating that an application needed to be created to electronically store workplans and progress reports for the applicable programs. EPA Project Officers are to enter the information into SGITA as frequently as workplans and progress reports are required per the terms and conditions of the grant award. The application is accessible to EPA Personnel, OMB, and State users.

Consent Decrees

EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA)  cases and settlements webpage contains links to selected settlements resolving civil enforcement cases and, in some cases, complaints filed initiating civil judicial and administrative enforcement actions.  Typically, the links are to settlements about which we have issued a press release.  This is not a complete repository of all enforcement actions taken by or on behalf of EPA.  Rather, it represents a subset of enforcement cases, taken civil judicially or administratively, which may be of national interest.  Most of the settlements are civil judicial consent decrees resolving alleged violations of environmental laws (e.g., the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act).  In some instances, the website includes significant enforcement actions resolved by the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB). In addition, please note that the cases and settlements webpage does not include:Most administrative enforcement actions; Most civil judicial cases resolving liability under CERCLA; Criminal enforcement matters.

TSCA Inventory

This dataset consists of the non confidential identities of chemical substances submitted under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).  TSCA was enacted to ensure that chemicals manufactured,  imported,  processed,  or distributed in commerce,  or used or disposed of in the United States do not pose any unreasonable risks to human health or the environment.  EPA adds chemical substances to the TSCA Inventory following EPAs receipt of a Notice of Commencement (NOC) signaling the manufacturers intent to produce a chemical substance that EPA has previously reviewed and approved. Since EPA published the final TSCA Inventory Reporting Rule on December 23,  1977,  the TSCA Inventory has grown to include the identities of over 83, 000 chemical substances.
