Alaska Environmental Profile
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2023 Toxics Release Inventory, Safe Drinking Water Information System, and Superfund National Priorities List, this is Alaska's (AK) full public environmental-compliance record - toxic releases, drinking-water systems, and Superfund sites in one place.

Alaska consolidates three federal EPA datasets into one statewide environmental profile: 57 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facilities reporting under EPCRA Section 313, 404 community water systems regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and 9 sites on the Superfund National Priorities List.
TRI facilities in AK have cumulatively disclosed 3853.4M lbs of toxic chemical releases, while SDWIS records show 4,613 total violations across the state's regulated water systems, of which 274 systems carry an active health-based violation (MCL exceedance or treatment-technique failure). Activity clusters in counties such as Anchorage Municipality, Matanuska-susitna Borough, Bethel Census Area, which account for the highest combined facility, water-system, and Superfund presence.
Every figure reflects the public regulatory record as filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is not weighted for toxicity, geographic footprint, or population exposure. A state can rank high in any individual metric because of industrial history, naturally occurring contaminants in source water, or simply the number of reporting facilities, not because current residents face unsafe conditions. Drill into any county or water system below for the full disclosure record.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many polluting facilities are in Alaska? ▼
Alaska has 57 facilities that report to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). These facilities have collectively reported 3853.4M lbs in total toxic chemical releases. TRI data is self-reported annually by facilities that manufacture, process, or use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts.
Does Alaska have Superfund sites? ▼
Yes, Alaska has 9 sites on the EPA Superfund National Priorities List (NPL). Superfund sites are contaminated locations identified for long-term cleanup under the EPA Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Is the water safe in Alaska? ▼
Alaska has 404 EPA-regulated water systems. 274 water systems have reported health-based violations (MCL exceedances). A past violation does not necessarily mean water is currently unsafe. For current water quality, contact your local water utility. Source: EPA SDWIS.
What environmental data is available for Alaska? ▼
PlainEnviro provides three categories of EPA environmental data for Alaska: Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data covering 57 industrial facilities, Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) data for 404 water systems, and Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) data for 9 contaminated sites.
How does Alaska compare to other states environmentally? ▼
Alaska has 57 TRI facilities with 3853.4M lbs in total releases, 9 Superfund sites, and 4,613 water system violations on record. State-level environmental comparisons depend on many factors including industrial activity, population, and geographic size. Source: EPA TRI, SDWIS, and Superfund NPL databases.

About This Data
This page aggregates environmental data from three EPA programs for Alaska: the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) for industrial chemical releases, the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) for water quality, and the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) for hazardous waste cleanup sites.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. Numbers reflect reported data and may not capture all environmental activity. For specific health or environmental concerns, contact your state environmental agency.
