Step 4:
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
Screening
Environmental
Screening. Your goal for environmental
screening is to determine if the subject
property could be impacted by
environmental issues.
WARNING: This
screening is limited; not all
environmental issues will appear in
online databases. We recommend you
visit the subject property prior to
bidding.
Use the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
online Envirofacts Data Warehouse to get
a listing of regulated facilities in
your area.
http://www.epa.gov/enviro/
You can obtain
information by zip code, city, or county
by clicking in the desired circles in
left margin.
For this example we
will use the zip code for our search.
Example search for zipcode 93523
http://oaspub.epa.gov/enviro/ef_home3.html?p_zipcode=93523&p_
type=zip&x=15&y=6
Topics listed
include:
Air
Toxics
Waste
Water
Other
For this example,
we have scrolled down the page and
clicked on “Enviromapper” to view the
map interactively. You will need to
experiment with your individual
preferences and styles while working
with this database.
You are then
redirected to the following screen. You
will have to locate the area of your
subject property and zoom in and out
accordingly.
Example display
after numerous recenterings and
zooming.
http://134.67.99.122/enviro/emef.asp
You will have to
experiment with zooming in and out and
recentering as desired.
For our example
property, no EPA-regulated facilities
are shown in site vicinity. Be sure to
check the scale on the map at the bottom
right corner of the map.
Going back to the
zipcode search results for additional
research information.
http://oaspub.epa.gov/enviro/ef_home3.html?p_zipcode=
93523&p_type=zip&x=15&y=6
We have clicked on
“Waste: Potential hazardous waste sites
that are part of Superfund that exist:
1” to get information about nearby EPA
Superfund sites. You will have to
experiment with the type of information
you are interested in.
