Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where the data set a record or moved most.

EPA ECHO, federal civil enforcement cases dated by final order. State enforcement and criminal cases are not included. Penalties assessed, not collected. A single settlement can set a quarter.

What federal environmental violations cost, quarter by quarter. A few landmark settlements tower over the rest: oil spills and vehicle emissions cases.
