This automation template provides structured access to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency´s ECHO system under the Clean Water Act via REST APIs. It enables automated retrieval of data on facilities, pollutants, regulatory parameters, jurisdictions, and watershed boundaries. Designed as an MCP server, it supports integration with AI agents or external systems for compliance tracking, reporting, and environmental analysis.
## Who it´s for
- Environmental consultants monitoring Clean Water Act compliance
- Government agencies integrating EPA data into internal systems
- Developers building environmental monitoring solutions
- Researchers analyzing water pollution datasets
- Legal firms handling environmental violations
## What the automation does
- Retrieves data via HTTP requests to U.S. EPA ECHO REST services (CWA)
- Extracts facility details, pollutant parameters, agency info, and classification codes
- Handles paginated responses from ICIS and NPDES databases
- Returns GeoJSON data for watershed boundaries (WBD)
- Operates as an MCP server, responding to AI tool calls or external webhook triggers
- Supports triggers: HTTP webhooks, AI tool invocations, MCP server requests
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and request routing logic
- Integrations with U.S. EPA ECHO, ICIS, NPDES, WBD, and CWA API
- Basic textual setup and adaptation guide
## Requirements for setup
- n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
- Access to U.S. EPA ECHO REST API (public, no authentication required)
- Familiarity with EPA data structure and query formats
- Basic proficiency in n8n and HTTP node configuration
## Benefits and outcomes
- Automates manual data collection from federal environmental databases
- Reduces time spent on compliance reporting
- Enables integration with AI agents via MCP server interface
- Ensures data accuracy and freshness directly from EPA sources
- Supports ongoing monitoring and violation analysis
- Simplifies access to complex public environmental datasets
