Importing EPA Data

Used for importing EPA notification data. Two data providers are supported: EPA SEP NOTIFIED and EPA SEP SCRAPED.

CSV Format

The following headers must be present in the CSV file, even though some of them can be blank:

Header	Type	Blank	Help
Notification report id	String	NO	Unique id given by EPA for each notification
Owner	String	NO	Name of the company, must exist in our db. This field will be ignored for EPA SEP SCRAPED
Longitude nad83	Number	NO	Longitude in NAD83 coord system
Latitude nad83	Number	NO	Latitude in NAD83 coord system
Detection date	Date	NO	ISO format
Notification date	Date	NO	ISO format
Detected rate g_hr	Decimal	NO	g/hr
Detected rate uncertainty g_hr	Decimal	NO	g/hr
Notifier name	String	YES

Wind speed	Decimal	YES	m/s
Wind direction	Decimal	YES	degrees
Temperature	Decimal	YES	F (stored in °C)

Notes:

• Owner column is required, but only for EPA SEP NOTIFIED data provider. For EPA SEP SCRAPED, owner column will be ignored. If owner is present, any company found in the file must exist in the platform, or the import script will fail.
• Any additional fields will be stored as extra data object.

Script Arguments

EPA script requires no additional arguments beyond the common ones (environment, api_key, data_path).

Additional argument:

• --source - Source type: notified or scraped

Example

Example of calling the EPA script on dev environment:

python -m importers.emissions.epa --environment dev --api_key {API_KEY_VALUE} --data_path {PATH_TO_FOLDER} --source notified

Or for scraped data:

python -m importers.emissions.epa --environment dev --api_key {API_KEY_VALUE} --data_path {PATH_TO_FOLDER} --source scraped
