Overview

An EPA Geospatial XML file is divided into two components:

  1. Header: This section contains some general information about the EPA and the purpose of the XML document, including the date it was produced.
  2. Facility List: This section contains a list of facilities compiled by the EPA. The information that can be provided for each facility includes: name, address, (including street address, ZIP code, state), electronic address (typically a URL), latitude/longitude and CRS datum name. Additionally, each facility is accompanied by a list of EPA programs that are in effect at the facility.
