Description: Accidents, spills, leaks, and past improper disposal and handling of hazardous materials and wastes have resulted in tens of thousands of sites across our country that have contaminated our land, water (groundwater and surface water), and air (indoor and outdoor). EPA and its state and territorial partners have developed a variety of cleanup programs to assess and, where necessary, clean up these contaminated sites. CIMC (www.epa.gov/cimc) brings together the data from many of these cleanup programs and lets people map, list and access cleanup progress profiles for sites across the US so that people can know what is going on in their communities.
The CIMC web service provides access to the mapping component of the CIMC web application. The Cleanups in My Community (CIMC) web service contains the following map layers: Incidents of National Significance (from the epa.gov website) – with links to the relevant web pages, Superfund NPL sites (propose, final and deleted)(from SEMS) – with links to the cleanup profiles, RCRA Corrective Action Sites (by various cleanup categories)(2020 baseline facilities only, not all RCRA sites because RCRA sites that are not corrective action are not cleanups)(from RCRAInfo) – with links to the cleanup profiles, Brownfields Properties (by grant type)(from ACRES) – with links to the cleanup profiles, Brownfields Grant jurisdictions (polygons)(from ACRES) – with links to the grant information, Federal facilities that are also Superfund or RCRA CA sites and BRAC (from the epa.gov page for federal facilities), Recovery Act locations (for Superfund and Brownfields only) (from SEMS and ACRES), Emergency removals (from EPAOSC.net). The CIMC web service was initially published in 2013, but the data are updated twice a month. The full schedule for data updates in CIMC is located here: https://ofmpub.epa.gov/frs_public2/frs_html_public_pages.frs_refresh_stats.
