gov.epa-facilities

EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) — every regulated facility known to the EPA across all programs (RCRA hazardous waste, NPDES water discharge, SDWA drinking water, TRI toxic release, CAA Clean Air, Superfund, etc.). Filter by state (required), facility name prefix, and EPA program acronym. Each record includes registry ID, primary name, address, city/state/county/zip, EPA region, program system + ID, source-of-data system. Public-domain US government records.

Overview

The epa facilities API is a pay-per-call gov endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) — every regulated facility known to the EPA across all programs (RCRA hazardous waste, NPDES water discharge, SDWA drinking water, TRI toxic release, CAA Clean Air, Superfund, etc.).

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in epa facilities data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs gov data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/gov/epa-facilities?state=xx&name=xx&program=xx&limit=25&offset=0'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/gov/epa-facilities?state=xx&name=xx&program=xx&limit=25&offset=0' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):

MCP — Claude Desktop / AgentKit / any MCP hostjson
// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {

// 2. Once the server is running, agents call this tool via standard MCP:

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the epa facilities API?
No. gov.epa-facilities is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the epa facilities API cost?
$0.0024 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the epa facilities API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call gov.epa-facilities from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
