    • The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Facility Registry Services (FRS) : Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) , National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) , and Superfund Sites

    Metadata Updated: February 4, 2025

    This dataset represents the estimated density of georeferenced sites within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on the EPA's Facility Registry Services (FRS) geodatabase. Attributes of the landscape layer were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and then accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics. The FRS geodatabase is a collection of point locations of facilities or sites subject to environmental regulation. TRI, NPDES, and Superfund sites were extracted individually to summarize for each in the resulting .csv. (see Data Sources for links to NHDPlusV2 data and FRS data) The (site locations / catchment) were summarized and accumulated into watersheds to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a points data type (see Data Structure and Attribute Information for a description of each metric).
