Sector Notebooks
Note: EPA is not actively maintaining this series other than keeping them posted here. While the regulations that apply to these industries may have changed and the data on enforcement and compliance is out of date, users may find the manufacturing process descriptions, discharge information and applicable regulations valuable. No new notebooks are planned. The Data Refresh Tool that was associated with this project has been discontinued. To analyze data by industry sector use ECHO which can be queried using SIC and NAICS codes.
The Sector Notebook series is a unique set of profiles containing information for specific industries and governments. Unlike other resource materials, which are organized by air, water and land pollutants, the Notebooks provide a holistic approach by integrating processes, applicable regulations and other relevant environment information.
