The Interstate Environmental Commission’s ambient water quality data and compliance data can be downloaded from EPA’s WQX and ICIS, respectively.

The Commission has been submitting data to WQX (Water Quality Exchange, formerly STORET) since 1970 (Organization Code: 31ISC2RS). The Commission continues to submit data to both WQX and ICIS on a timely basis. 

In addition to STORET and ICIS, some of EPA’s new web tools inform the public about Clean Water Act enforcement. The interactive web tools provide noncompliance information and list summary data of violations and enforcement responses. Updated State Review Framework (SRF) reports can also be retrieved. Visit EPA’s ECHO and Compliance websites for more information.
