Steps
Query the NPDES Noncompliance Report REST service (echo.epa.gov/tools/web-services/npdes-noncompliance-report) with a facility ID or NPDES permit number
Specify the reporting quarter/year of interest, since NNCR is a point-in-time quarterly compliance snapshot
Retrieve compliance and enforcement status data for the specified facility/permit and quarter
Cross-reference against the CWA facility search or Effluent Charts service for underlying DMR detail behind a flagged noncompliance
Repeat across quarters to build a noncompliance trend for the facility
Known gotchas
NNCR is a quarterly snapshot, not real-time; a facility's current status can differ from the last published quarter
The service is documented as retrieving data for one facility or NPDES permit at a time, not bulk multi-facility queries
Historical NNCR annual data is served separately via the 'NPDES Noncompliance Annual Report' tool, not this REST service
