R2 AIRS/AFS FACILITY GIS LAYER
Description:
The AFS subsystem contains emissions, compliance, and permit data for stationary sources regulated by the U.S. EPA and state and local air pollution agencies. This information is used by states in preparation of State Implementation Plans (SIPs), to track the compliance status of point sources with various regulatory programs, and report emissions estimates for pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. The Region 2 AIRS/AFS Regulated Facility GIS layer contains unique facility records, each representing one or more unique permit records. This translates to one unique facility location with attributes consisting of identifying information, (name, address, Facility Registry System ID and EF_AFS ID(s) and locational information (latitude, longitude, and locational metadata). This information is supplied for each facility in Region 2 that has an existing record in the Envirofacts copy of the AIRS/AFS subsystem and having locational coordinates. The locational data source for this and all R2 Regulated FACILITY and R2 Regulated PERMIT Layers is the Locational Reference Tables (LRT) database, of Envirofacts augmented by R2 Locational Data Improvement records that may not yet have been cycled into the LRT. The name and address information for all Region 2 GIS FACILITY layers is from the authoritative facility identification records of the Facility Registry System (FRS). The name and address information for all Region 2 GIS PERMIT layers is from the relevant PROGRAM SYSTEM identification records as found in Envirofacts.
