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

Florida consolidates three federal EPA datasets into one statewide environmental profile: 864 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facilities reporting under EPCRA Section 313, 1,516 community water systems regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and 81 sites on the Superfund National Priorities List.
TRI facilities in FL have cumulatively disclosed 247.9M lbs of toxic chemical releases, while SDWIS records show 2,676 total violations across the state's regulated water systems, of which 410 systems carry an active health-based violation (MCL exceedance or treatment-technique failure). Activity clusters in counties such as Hillsborough, Polk, Seminole, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many polluting facilities are in Florida? ▼
Florida has 864 facilities that report to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). These facilities have collectively reported 247.9M 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 Florida have Superfund sites? ▼
Yes, Florida has 81 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 Florida? ▼
Florida has 1,516 EPA-regulated water systems. 410 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 Florida? ▼
PlainEnviro provides three categories of EPA environmental data for Florida: Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data covering 864 industrial facilities, Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) data for 1,516 water systems, and Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) data for 81 contaminated sites.
How does Florida compare to other states environmentally? ▼
Florida has 864 TRI facilities with 247.9M lbs in total releases, 81 Superfund sites, and 2,676 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.
