Inventory of polluted sites

BASIAS is a national database of industrial sites, abandoned or in operation, likely to cause environmental pollution, managed by MTES. The census of sites is carried out by the departments during regional historical inventories. The description of this basis by the MTES indicates the following objectives: — retain the memory of these sites — providing useful information to urban planning, land use and environmental protection actors — provide information to real estate actors, notaries, holders, buyers. ### Access to the official base Article L312-1-1 of the Code of Relations between the Public and Administration (CRPA) stipulates that administrations are obliged to publish online “*data, regularly updated, whose publication is of economic, social, health or environmental interest*”. Article L300-4 of the CRPA adds that the data must be published “in an open standard, easily reusable and usable by an automated processing system*”. The MTES only offers on its site an industrial site consultation per industrial site, without allowing the complete download of the database, necessary for automated processing. ### Description of the proposed game The game proposed here is the result of an artisanal consolidation, not carried out by the MTES. Two types of files are offered for download: — a “light” BASIAS file listing all sites with a limited amount of information — a complete file by region, with one line of JSON per site, but the file itself is not a JSON. ### Documentation More information on the [georisk site](http://www.georisques.gouv.fr/dossiers/basias/presentation).
