EPA's MyRTK Mobile App Can Be Used to Identify Regulated Facilities

MyRight-to-know (MyRTK) is a web application that takes existing EPA information and packages it in a format and with a level of detail that is appropriate for mobile devices and mobile users. When the user enters a location or address, MyRTK maps nearby facilities that report to TRI, as well as large permit holders in the Air, Water or Hazardous Waste programs that are expected to produce, manage or release TRI-reportable chemicals. The application compares individual facility releases to releases by other facilities in the county, as well as to other facilities in the same industrial sector. MyRTK also identifies the most serious facility non-compliance across the twelve most recent quarters of data for the three principal U.S. environmental statutes: the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
