AFS contains compliance and permit data for stationary sources of air pollution regulated by the EPA, state, and local air pollution agencies. A facility is classified as a Major Discharger if: a) Actual or potential emissions are above the applicable major source thresholds, or b) Actual or potential controlled emissions > 100 tons/year as per Alabama power decision, or c) Unregulated pollutant actual or potential controlled emissions > 100 tons/year as per Alabama power decision. FRS identifies and geospatially locates facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. Using vigorous verification and data management procedures, FRS integrates facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records and provides EPA with a centrally managed, single source of comprehensive and authoritative information on facilities. This data set contains the subset of FRS integrated facilities that link to AFS major facilities once the AFS data has been integrated into the FRS database. Additional information on FRS is available at the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/fii/index.html.
Purpose: The purpose of this web feature service is to provide users with access to integrated facility information from FRS, limited to the subset of facilities that link to the Air Facility System (AFS) Majors.
Supplemental Information: This is an EPA-Produced Data Set. This data set is one in a series of Image and Feature Services published by USEPA. Additional services can be found at https://edg.epa.gov/

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report: Locations are tested and reported individually
Completeness Report: Completeness of the data set varies for individual features.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: FRS uses a best-pick algorithm to provide horizontal positional information. This assigns the latitude and longitude with the best accuracy value to each facility. Because information in FRS is collected across numerous states and programs, positional accuracy for the data set varies for each individual feature and is stored on a record-level basis. Overall horizontal positional accuracy for the entire data set fluctuates as new information is received and is not estimated for the entire data set within this record. For more information on accuracy of FRS locations, visit http://www.epa.gov/frs/index.htm.
