Licence

The EPA disclaimers page states, under "Terms of Use for Geospatial Data": "These geospatial data and corresponding cartographic materials have been approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as advised by the EPA Geospatial Advisory Committee (EGAC). This approved release is on the condition that neither the EPA nor the U.S. Government may be held liable for any damages resulting from its authorized or unauthorized use... Unless otherwise specified, geospatial data produced by the EPA is by default in the public domain and is not subject to domestic copyright protection under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Referenced data from non-EPA sources are neither inherently verified nor independently tested by the Agency in all circumstances. Permission to reproduce copyrighted items not produced by the EPA must be secured from the copyright owner." Envirofacts facility records are geospatial (each carries latitude and longitude), so the public-domain release applies to them; some records embed data supplied by states or other parties, which this statement does not license. We therefore pass records through unmodified and claim no copyright in them; commercial use and redistribution are recorded true on the strength of the public-domain statement above.
