I do a bit of side work as an environmental law journalist primarily covering Superfund cases. A lot of this data is publicly available from the EPA, especially with respect to Superfund sites. Unfortunately the data is not available in an easily digestible form. It’s tucked away in long-winded PDF reports that are unique to each site so the data collected and the way it’s presented isn’t uniform. But I do think the data is, for the most part, robust, reliable, and available if someone made the effort to devise a way to scrape and parse it.
