The powerful IDEA engine has three different interfaces available to users. These interfaces include:

  • The IDEA Mainframe:Users can transform their personal PCs into a mainframe terminal and run queries against the IDEA mainframe from their work stations.
  • The Online Targeting Information System (OTIS): EPA, federal, and state users may access OTIS by using their browsers. OTIS uses IDEA as its back-end database, and provides users with the means to query IDEA online. (available only to EPA, federal, and state users)
  • Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) is a Web-based took that provides public users with compliance, permits, and demographic data for approximately 800,000 facilities regulated under the Clean Air Act stationary source program, the Clean Water Act direct discharge program, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste generation program.
