Develop a dictionary of terms in the ECHO Dataset #5

Closed lindsaypoirier closed 4 years ago

lindsaypoirier commented 4 years ago

It would be great to have a dictionary reference for the various terms in the ECHO dataset, including:

facility
violation
enforcement
penalty
compliance
inspection
noncompliance
significant noncompliance
quarter
others?

...with specific information about the scope of each of these terms in the context of ECHO, and how they relate to one another.

To get further information that is not on the website email support@echo.zendesk.com some of this may be covered already in issue #4 please see those responses (and associated links) before emailing echo

An additional question that was brought up last night was "How long does it take for a facility to be entered into the echo database after it is constructed?" Thank you @nathanqtran922

also there may be some helpful trainings here (ECHO website is down right now, so really just filing for future reading) https://echo.epa.gov/help/training#Series

You can check them off as you go @nathanqtran922 :) Also when you find new terms to add in the other issue you can make check boxes for those two to help track your progress (its the check mark next to the horizontal lines icon above)

I'm also wondering what the Safe Drinking Water Act's Consumer Confidence Rule is and how it is broken. I'm seeing that as broken in some prisons
