American Samoa 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 American Samoa's (AS) full public environmental-compliance record - toxic releases, drinking-water systems, and Superfund sites in one place.

American Samoa consolidates three federal EPA datasets into one statewide environmental profile: 1 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facility reporting under EPCRA Section 313, 10 community water systems regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and 1 site on the Superfund National Priorities List.
TRI facilities in AS have cumulatively disclosed 246.0K lbs of toxic chemical releases, while SDWIS records show 278 total violations across the state's regulated water systems, of which 7 systems carry an active health-based violation (MCL exceedance or treatment-technique failure). Activity clusters in counties such as Western District, Eastern, Tutuila, 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 American Samoa? ▼
American Samoa has 1 facilities that report to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). These facilities have collectively reported 246.0K 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 American Samoa have Superfund sites? ▼
Yes, American Samoa has 1 site 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 American Samoa? ▼
American Samoa has 10 EPA-regulated water systems. 7 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 American Samoa? ▼
PlainEnviro provides three categories of EPA environmental data for American Samoa: Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data covering 1 industrial facilities, Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) data for 10 water systems, and Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) data for 1 contaminated sites.
How does American Samoa compare to other states environmentally? ▼
American Samoa has 1 TRI facilities with 246.0K lbs in total releases, 1 Superfund sites, and 278 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.
