State-level EPA enforcement posture: violator rate, enforcement intensity and a derived pressure score API

Aggregates a state's active EPA-regulated universe into a compliance posture: counts of significant violators, current/3-year violations, formal and informal enforcement actions, inspections, total penalties and per-program breakdown — plus a derived 0-100 enforcement-pressure score and assessment. Answers 'How tough is environmental enforcement in this state?', 'What share of regulated facilities are significant violators?'.
