Bottom line

• The record places the facility “LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY” at “1 CYCLOTRON RD”, “BERKELEY”, in the county “ALAMEDA”, California.
• It gives the latitude “37.877117” and the longitude “-122.249379”.

Background

EPA publishes facility records in the FRS. Its public web service returns one record in JSON for one registry ID. The record is a work of the U.S. Government, so the library rehosts it. The library uses this record for the place of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Key claims

• “FacilityName”:“LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY” (FRSFacility)
• “LocationAddress”:“1 CYCLOTRON RD”, “CityName”:“BERKELEY”, “CountyName”:“ALAMEDA”, “StateAbbr”:“CA”, “ZipCode”:“94720” (FRSFacility)
• “FIPSCode”:“1” (FRSFacility)
• “Latitude83”:“37.877117”, “Longitude83”:“-122.249379” (FRSFacility)

Evidence and method

A federal registry record with 11 fields: registry ID, facility name, address, supplemental location, city, county, state, ZIP code, FIPS code, latitude and longitude. The latitude and longitude are decimal degrees. The field names end in “83”.

Limits

• The record gives one point for the facility. It does not give the edge of the site.
• The record does not say how EPA got the point, and it does not describe the work of the laboratory.
• The FRS has other records under the same laboratory name or address, with other points. The record gives the FIPS code “1”, not a five-digit county code.
