ICIS-AIR contains both emissions and compliance data on air pollution point sources regulated by the U.S. EPA and/or state and local air regulatory 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.

This is a brief user guide to the ICIS-AIR Search. Use the search to specify a facility or facilities by selecting any combination of facility name, geographic location, standard industrial classification, and/or pollutant. Only those facilities matching all specified criteria will be retrieved. Select more than one search option at a time to speed up the sear

Facility Identification Search Option

Facility Name

Enter the complete or partial facility name to retrieve all facilities with that name. Select the "Containing" option when entering a partial name for a better retrieval the first time you access the data. When an "Exact Match" option is specified for a facility name, only facilities that exactly match the name as entered will be retrieved.

SCCS Plant ID

Enter the complete or partial SCCS Plant ID to retrieve all facilities with that ID. The SCCS_PLANT_ID is only unique within a county. If you do not enter a county using the county name option from geography, you may have more than one facility with the same ID. Select the "Containing" option when entering a partial ID for a better retrieval the first time you access the data.

Geography Search Option

Select from the following geographical search options: ZIP Code, Address, City, County, and State.

ZIP Code

The entry can be one or more digits. It allows you to enter the zip plus-4 extension as well.

Address

Enter a complete or partial street address.

City

Enter a complete or partial city name. Entering the two-character state postal abbreviation will help to narrow the search.

County

Enter a complete or partial county name and a two-character state postal abbreviation. Entering the two-character state postal abbreviation will help to narrow the search

State

Enter a two-character state postal abbreviation. A list of the postal abbreviations and the state names is provided below:

Note: We strongly recommend that you enter a small geographical area to begin the search since Envirofacts contains a large number of facilities.

Facility Industrial Classification Search Option

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code Search

You may enter a partial or complete SIC Code as search criteria for your search. You do not need to enter any other search criteria in conjunction with the SIC Code. The first two digits of the code define a major business sector, and the last two digits denote a facility's specialty within the major sector. Select a search option from the drop down menu. For the "Equal to" option enter a 4-digit SIC code. For "Beginning with" or "Containing" enter up to 4 digits.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code

You may enter a partial or complete NAICS Code as search criteria for your search. You do not need to enter any other search criteria in conjunction with the NAICS Code.

The individual digits within the NAICS code indicate different levels of granularity in identifying a business. Here is an example of the granularity the individual digits provide:

Select a search option from the drop down menu. For the "Equal to" option enter a 4 to 6-digit NAICS code. For "Beginning with" or "Containing" enter up to 6 digits.

Search Values Option

Click on "Use Multisystem facility information to perform facility search" to identify facilities, using facility information from all program systems. Click on "Use ICIS-AIR facility information to perform facility search" to identify facilities, using only ICIS-AIR facility information.

Usage Constraints

Information in the ICIS-AIR database can be freely accessed through the use of this search. The complexity of the search is up to the user. Searches that return a large volume of data may terminate prematurely due to system limitations. Develop searches that return small batches of data and terminate the session as soon as the searches have been executed, so that others can access the database.
