   Read the answer

   You see the facilities that matched, how many are in significant non-compliance, how many were in violation lately and the review call.

Bulk company checks run the same lookup on a whole list with one CSV file.

The free tool checks one company at a time. With a 1Lookup account you upload a CSV file in the dashboard, pick the column that holds the company names and download the same file back with the result columns filled in on every row. A state can follow the name after a comma. These rows are invented.

• 3 credits for each company with at least one facility whose own name carries it, and nothing for a name no facility carries.
• Up to 2 million rows in one CSV file.
• Up to 200 API requests per 10 seconds for each API key, and each account can make up to 1,000 requests a minute in total across all its keys.

The Environmental Compliance Check API returns the same totals as JSON from one request.

Send the company name, and a state if you like, to the endpoint with your API key. A company with at least one facility that carries its name costs 3 credits, and a name no facility carries costs 0. Which of these it was is in classification.outcome, and the facilities themselves are in insights.epa_compliance_result.facilities.

To check every company on a list from your own software, see our Environmental Compliance Check API.

• Every total counts only the facilities that carry your name.

  The EPA's own search also returns sites that once used a name. This tool keeps a facility only when its current name has every word you typed, so the totals are about the right sites.

• The EPA's flag for a serious violator comes through.

  A facility in significant non-compliance is counted on its own line, so you see at a glance whether any site is a serious violator now.

• The time windows are stated, not hidden.

  Compliance is counted over the last 12 quarters and inspections, actions and penalties over the last 5 years, and the page says which is which.

• A name that matches nothing gets a plain answer.

  A typo, a name no active facility carries or a name the EPA matched only loosely returns a clear sentence saying so, not an empty page.
