STANDARD REPORT   |   DRILL REPORT   |   DOWNLOAD DATA

The Freedom of Information Act requires that all federal agencies make available in electronic form, data that will serve the public interest. The National Response Center recently implemented an on-line query system that will make all oil and chemical spill data available via the World Wide Web. Data received via the National Railroad Hotline (1-800-424-0201) is also available as are reports taken during drills or spill exercises.   This system provides full query capability on all non-Privacy Act data collected by the NRC since 1990 using a web browser and a connection to our Web Server. Searches can be done based on spiller, location, material involved, state, county, etc., and can be customized for each request. Yearly data beginning in 1982 can be downloaded for viewing off line.  

Any combination of selection criteria may be used from the following data elements:

NRC Report Number
Incident Date
Location County
City
State
ZIP
Suspected Responsible Company
Type of Incident
Medium Affected
Material Involved

It is important to remember that the more detailed your query information, the better chance you have of retrieving the data in a reliable and timely manner. Fill in as many fields as you possibly can. Dates must be entered in the MM/DD/YYYY format
