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

Sites with at least one open violation 34.2%
Utah consolidates three federal EPA datasets into one statewide environmental profile: 246 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) facilities reporting under EPCRA Section 313, 559 community water systems regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, and 24 sites on the Superfund National Priorities List.
TRI facilities in UT have cumulatively disclosed 1058.9M lbs of toxic chemical releases, while SDWIS records show 1,200 total violations across the state's regulated water systems, of which 275 systems carry an active health-based violation (MCL exceedance or treatment-technique failure). Activity clusters in counties such as Salt Lake, Utah, Weber, 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.

About This Data
This page aggregates environmental data from three EPA programs for Utah: 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.
