What’s gross in Boulder? EPA’s interactive map knows
Somebody alert the local paper: Boulder’s not perfect.
In a feat of data mapping that makes us happy we live in the future, the EPA has gone ahead and mapped “information on enforcement actions and cases from 2009.” Which is to say that if you were naughty last year, we can see your house from here.
You can click the EPA's map for lots of charts and numbers.
According to Planet Green, here’s what the EPA’s interactive map of enforcement actions will show you:
You can look up violations by category: Air (Clean Air Act violations), Water (violations of the Clean Water Act and Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act), Land (Superfund sites and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act violations), Criminal violations, and “Cross-media” sites, which they identify as Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, Toxic Substances Control Act. You can also specify federal facilities if you like. Safe Drinking Water Act Enforcement Actions were not included on the map because of “Homeland Security concerns,” but those are available as a separate download.
Oooh. Separate download. I’m getting goosebumps.
