echor downloads wastewater discharge and air emission data for EPA permitted facilities using the EPA ECHO API.
echor is on CRAN:
install.packages("echor")
Or install the development version:
install.packages('echor', repos = 'https://mps9506.r-universe.dev')
We can look up plants by permit id, bounding box, and numerous other parameters. I plan on providing documentation of available parameters. However, arguments can be looked up here: get_cwa_rest_services_get_facility_info
library(echor)
## echoWaterGetFacilityInfo() will return a dataframe or simple features (sf) dataframe.
df <- echoWaterGetFacilityInfo(output = "df",
p_c1lon = '-96.387509',
p_c1lat = '30.583572',
p_c2lon = '-96.281422',
p_c2lat = '30.640008',
p_ptype = "NPD")

The ECHO database can provide over 270 different columns. echor returns
a subset of these columns that should work for most users. However, you
can specify what data you want returned. Use echoWaterGetMeta() to
return a dataframe with column numbers, names, and descriptions to
identify the columns you want returned. Then include the column numbers
as a comma separated string in the qcolumns argument. In the example
below, the qcolumns argument indicates the dataframe will include
plant name, 8-digit HUC, latitude, longitude, and total design flow.
df <- echoWaterGetFacilityInfo(output = "df",
p_c1lon = '-96.387509',
p_c1lat = '30.583572',
p_c2lon = '-96.281422',
p_c2lat = '30.640008',
qcolumns = '1,14,23,24,25',
p_ptype = "NPD")
