A. GENERAL INFORMATION
Submission of EPA Form R. the Toxic Chemical Release
Inventory Reporting Form, is required by section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (Title
III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986), Public Law 99-499. The information contained in Form
R constitutes a "report," and the submission of a report to the
appropriate authorities constitutes "reporting."
Reporting is required to provide the public with information on
the releases of listed toxic chemicals in their communities and
to provide EPA with release information to assist the Agency
in determining the need for future regulations. Facilities must
report the quantities of both routine and accidental releases of
listed chemicals, as well as the maximum amount of the listed
chemical on-site during the calendaryearand the amount con-
tained in wastes transferred off-site.
A completed Form R must be submitted for each toxic chemi-
cal manufactured, processed, or otherwise used at each
covered facility as prescribed in the reporting rule in 40 CFR
Part 372 (published February 16,1988 in the Federal Regis-
ter). These instructions supplement and elaborate on the
requirements in the reporting rule. Together with the reporting
rule, they constitute the reporting requirements. All refer-
ences in these instructions are to sections in the reporting rule
unless otherwise indicated.
A.1 HOW TO ASSEMBLE A COMPLETE REPORT
The Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Form, EPA Form R,
consists of four parts: .
Q Part I, Facility Identification Information (page 1);
Q Part II, Off-Site Locations to Which Toxic Chemicals are
Transferred in Wastes (page 2);
Q Part III, Chemical-Specific Information (pages 3 and 4);
and
Q Part IV, Supplemental Information (page 5).
Most of the information required in Part I and all of the
information required in Part II of Form R can be filled in and
photocopied and attached to each chemical-specific report.
Part I must have an original signature on the certification state-
ment and the trade secret designation must be entered as
appropriate. You have the option to complete Part II for only
the off-site locations that apply to the individual chemical cited
in the report pxyou can list all off-site locations that apply to all
chemicals being reported and'include a photostatic copy of
this Part II with each individual report. Part III must be
completed separately for each chemical. Part IV provides
additional space, if needed, to complete the information re-
quired by the preceding sections of the form. Include Part IV
In your report, even if it is blank. Because a complete Form R
consists of at least 5 pages, any submissions containing less
than 5 pages is not a valid submission.
A complete report for any listed toxic chemical that is not
claimed trade secret consists of the following completed parts:
Q Part I with an original signature on the certification state-
ment (Section 2);
Q Part II;
Q Part III (Section 8 is optional); and
Q Part IV (even if blank).
Staple all five pages of each report together. Do not submit
supporting documentation or other materials with your Form R
submission.
A.2 TRADE SECRET CLAIMS
For any chemical whose identity is claimed as a trade secret,
you must submit to EPA two versions of the substantiation
form as prescribed in 40 CFR Part 350, published July 29,
1988 in the Federal Register (53 FR 28772). Use the order
form in this document to obtain a copy of the rule and
substantiation form. One version identifies the chemical; the
second version does not identify the chemical specifically, but
provides instead a generic identity. Only this latter version will
be available to the public. For further explanation of the trade-
secret provisions, see the instructions below for Part I, Sec-
tions 1.1 and 1.2 and Part III, Sections 1.1 -1.4.
A complete report for a toxic chemical claimed trade secret
includes all of the above items plus the following:
Q A completed Form R report including the chemical identity
(staple the pages together);
Q A "sanitized" version of a completed Form R report in
which the chemical identity items (Part III, Sections 1.2
and 1.3) have been left blank but in which a generic
-------
General
Page 2
chemical name has been supplied (Part III, Section 1.4)
(staple the pages together);
Q A completed trade secret substantiation form (staple the
pages together); and
Q A "sanitized" version of the .trade secret substantiation
form (staple the pages together).
Securely fasten all four reports together.
Copies of the report sent to the State or Indian tribe should be
the 'sanitized,* non-trade secret version of the report, unless
the State specifically requires otherwise. The report: submitted
to EPA should Include both trade-secret and non-trade-secret
versions.
A.3 RECORDKEEPING
You must keep a copy of each report. In addition, you must
keep the supporting materials used to develop the information
contained In the report (e.g., release estimation techniques
and assumptions made). These records must be kept at the
facility for a period of three years from the date of the
submission and must be readily available for Inspection by
EPA.
A.4 WHEN THE REPORT MUST BE SUBMITTED
The report for any calendar year must be submitted on or
before July 1 of the following year (e.g., the report for calendar
year 1990, January-December, must be submitted on or
before July 1,1991).
Voluntary Revision of a Previous Submission
If you are making a voluntary revision to a previous Form R
submission, enter "Voluntary Revision' In the space marked
"This space foryour optional use* onallfive pages of the form.
If you have obtained the Document Control Number (DCN) of
the original submission from EPA, enter that number also in
this space.. Enter the revised data to the Form R and circle it
in red Ink. Sign the certification and provide a current date.
You must provide the facility's name, TRI facility identification
number (if applicable), and the chemical name on the revised
Form R exactly as they were reported previously to enable
tracking of the original data. If one of these data items has
changed since -the original submission, you must enter the
data which appeared In the original submission to the revised
Form R and Indicate the new data in the optional use space on
page 1 of the revised Form R. Alternatively, you may submit
a copy of the original Form R submission, with corrections
made In red Ink, writing the words "VOLUNTARY REVISION*.
and the DCN, if available, in the space marked This space for
your optional use" on all five pages (or more) of the Form R,
and resigning and re-dating the certification statement on
page 1.
Send the entire completed revised Form R report to EPA and
the appropriate state agency (or the designated official of an
Indian tribe). Submissions for the next calendar year are not
considered revisions of a previous year's data.
A.5 WHERE TO SEND THE FORM R
Form R submissions must be sent to both EPA and the State
(or the designated official of an Indian tribe). If a Form R is not
received by both EPA and the State (or the designated official
of an Indian tribe), the submitter is considered out of compli-
ance and open to an enforcement action.
Send reports to EPA by mail to:
EPCRA Reporting Center
P.O. Box 23779
Washington, D.C. 20026-3779
Attn: Toxic Chemical Release Inventory
Certified mail and hand-delivered submissions only should be
addressed to:
EPCRA Reporting Center
470 L'Enfant Plaza East
Suite 7103, SW
Washington, DC 20024
Attn: Toxic Chemical Release Inventory .
In addition, you must send a copy of the report to:
The State in which the facility is located ("State" refers to:
State of the U.S., the District of Columbia, the Common-
wealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and any other
territory or possession over which the U.S. has jurisdiction).
Refer to Appendix G for the appropriate State address for
your submission.
If your facility is located on Indian land:
Send a copy to the Chief Executh/e'Off leer of the applicable
Indian tribe. Some tribes have entered into a cooperative
agreement with the State, in which this case, Form R sub-
missions should be sent to the entity designated in the
cooperative agreement.

General
The submissions of section 313 reports in magnetic media
and computer-generated facsimile formats has been ap-
proved by EPA. Magnetic media submissions to EPA must
follow basic specifications. In order to assist and encourage
facilities to submit section 313 reports on magnetic media,
EPA has developed an instruction manual to be used only
when formatting a blank disk or magnetic tape. The instruc-
tions to be used when formatting a blank disk or magnetic tape
is titled Magnetic Media Submission Instructions (EPA 560/4-
91-008).
In addition, EPA has developed pre-formatted diskettes called
the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting System.'
The easy-to-use diskette included with this package comes
with complete instructions for use. It also provides prompts
and messages to help you report according to EPA reporting
instructions.
Many firms are offering computer software to assist facilities in
producing magnetic media submissions or computer-gener-
ated facsimiles of Form R reports. To ensure accuracy, EPA
will only accept magnetic media submissions and computer-
generated facsimiles that meet basic specifications estab-
lished by EPA. To determine if software offered by a firm
meets these specifications, EPA reviews and approves all
software upon request. Call the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline to determine if
the software you are considering using has been approved by
EPA for the current reporting year.
Alternatively, you may call (800) 535-0202 or (703) 920-9877
from 8:30 am - 7:30 pm Eastern Time.
EPA Regional Staff may also be able to help you. Refer to
Appendix H for a list of EPA Regional Contacts.
A.7 WHO MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM
Section 313 of Title 111 requires that reports be filed by owners
and operators of facilities that meet all three of the following
criteria: , • , .
G The facility has 10 or more full-time employees; and

6. HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOUR FACILITY MUST SUBMIT EPA FORM R
(See Figure A for more information.)
B.1 FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE DETERMINATION
A lull-time employee," for purposes of section 313 reporting,
is defined as 2,000 work hours per year. This definition is
dependent flnjy. upon the number of hours worked by all
employees at the facility during the calendar year and not the
number of persons working. To determine the number of full-
time employees at yourfacility, add up the hours worked by all
employees during the calendar year, including contract em-
ployees and sales and support staff working for the facility and
divide the total by 2,000 hours. In other words, if the total
number of hours worked by all employees is 20,000 hours or
more, yourfacility meets the ten employee threshold.
Examples include:
O A facility consists of 11 employees who worked 1500
hours each at the facility in calendar year 1990.. Conse-
quently, the total number of hours worked by all employ-
ees at the facility during the calendar year is 16,500 hours.
The number of full-time employees at this facility is equal
to 16,500 hours divided by 2,000 hours per full-time em-
ployee, or 8.3 full-time employees. Therefore, even
though 11 persons worked at this facility during the
calendar year, the number of hours worked is equivalent
to 8.3 full-time employees. This facility does not meet the
employee criteria and is not subject to section 313.
O Another facility consists of 11 employees - 8 workers and
3 sales staff. The 8 workers each worked 2,000 hours at
the facility in the calendar year. The sales staff also each
worked 2,000 hours in the calendar year although they
may have been on the road half of the year. In addition,
5 contract employees were hired for a period during which
each worked 200 hours at the facility. The number of full-
time employees at this facility is equal to the total number
of hours divided by 2,000 hours. The total number of
hours is equal to the time worked by the workers at the
facility (16,000 hours), plus the time worked by the sales
'staff for the facility (6,000 hours), plus the time worked by
the contract employees at the facility (1,000 hours), or
23,000 hours, Divide the 23,000 hours by 2,000 hours to
yield more thanIO full-time employees. This facility has
met the full-time employee criteria and may be subject to
reporting if the other criteria are met.
B.2 PRIMARY SIC CODE DETERMINATION
Table I on page 35 includes a listing of SIC codes 20-39 and
the associated 4-digit SIC codes covered by the rule. The first
two digits of a 4-digit SIC code define a major business sector,
white the last two digits denote a facility's specialty within the
major sector. You may already know the SIC code of your
business as a result of your having had to develop insurance
or other reports. If you are not familiar with the SIC codes that
apply to yourfacility, contact yourtrade association, Chamber
of Commerce, or legal counsel. For a detailed description of
4-digit SIC codes, refer to the "Standard Industrial Classifica-
tion Manual 1987." Clothbound editions should be available in
most major libraries or may be ordered through the National
Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Spring-
field, VA, 22161, (703) 487-4650. The access number for the
clothbound manual is PB87-100012, and the price is $30.00.
If you are unsure of your SIC code, review your operations to
determine if you produce products of the type described in SIC
codes 20-39. If the value of those products is greaterthan any
other types of goods and services that you produce at that
facility, then you meet the SIC code criterion.
Section 313 requires that reports be filed by facilities," which
are defined as 'all buildings, equipment, structures, and other
stationary items which are located on a single site or on
contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated
by the same person." The SIC code system, however,
classifies business "establishments," which are defined as
"distinct and separate economic activities [that] are performed
at a single physical location.*
Establishments, in the SIC code system, are to be treated as
separate activities. In many cases, a section 313 "facility" is
the same as an "establishment" as defined by the SIC code
system.
B.2.a Mufti-Establishment Facilities
Your facility may include multiple establishments that have
different primary SIC codes. If so, calculate the value of the
products produced or shipped from each establishment within
the facility and then use the following rule to determine if your
facility meets the SIC code, criterion:
O If the total value of the products shippedf rom or produced,
at establishments with primary SIC codes between 20
and 39 is greaterthan 50 percent of the value of the entire
facility's products and services, the entire facility meets
the SIC code criterion.
O If any one establishment with a primary SIC code between
20 and 39 produces or ships products whose value
-------
General
PageS
exceeds the value of products and services produced or
shipped by any other establishment within the facility, the
facility also meets the SIC code criterion.
The value of production attributable to a particular establish-
ment may be adjusted by subtracting the value of products
obtained from other establishments within the same facility
that are incorporated into its final products. This procedure
eliminates the potential for "double counting" production in
situations where establishments are engaged in sequential
production activities at a single facility.
Examples include:
O One establishment In a facility mines ore; all of the ore is
smelted at a second establishment in the facility. The
facility could calculate the value of production for each
establishment separately. Alternatively, the facility could
determine the value of the smelter operation by subtract-
ing the value of the ore produced from the value of entire
facility's production.
O A food processing establishment in a facility processes
crops grown at the facility in a separate establishment.
The facility could base the value of the products of each
establishment on the total production value of each estab-
lishment. Alternatively, the facility could determine the
value of the crops grown at the agricultural establishment.
Then, to calculate the contribution of the food processing
establishment, the facility would subtract the crop value
from the total value of the product shipped from the
processing establishment.
A covered multi-establishment facility must make chemical
threshold determinations and report all relevant information
about releases and waste treatment associated with a listed
chemical, even from establishments that are not in SIC codes
20-39. EPA realizes, however, that certain establishments in
a multi-establishment facility can be, for all practical purposes,
separate business units. Therefore, individual establishments
may report separately, provided that the total release reported
for the whole facility Is represented by the sum of releases
reported by the separate establishments.
B.2.b Auxiliary Facilities
An auxiliary facility is one that supports another facility's
activities (e.g., research and development laboratories, ware-
houses, storage facilities, and waste-treatment facilities). An
auxiliary facility can take on the SIC code of another covered
facility If its primary function is to service that other covered
facility's operations. Thus, a separate warehouse facility (I.e.,
one not located within the physical boundries of a covered
facility) may become a covered facility because it services a
facility In SIC codes 20-39. Auxiliary facilities that are in SIC
codes 20-39 are required to report if they meet the employee
criterion andchemicalthresholdsformanufacture, process, or
otherwise use. Auxiliary establishments that are part of a
multi-establishmentfacility must be factored into thresholrfde-
terminations for the facility as a whole.
B.2.C Facility-Related Exemptions
Laboratories: Listed toxic chemicals that are manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used in laboratory activities at a
covered facility under the direct supervision of a technically
qualified individual do not have to be factored into the thresh-
old and release calculations. However, pilot plant scale and
specialty chemical production do not qualify for this laboratory
activities exemption.
Property Owners: You are not required to report if you merely
own real estate on which a facility covered by this rule is
located; that is, you have no other business interest in the
operation of that facility (e.g., your company owns an industrial
park). The operator of that facility, however, is subject to
reporting requirements.
B.3 ACTIVITY DETERMINATION
B.S.a Definitions of "Manufacture,"
. "Process," and "Otherwise Use"
Manufacture: The term "manufacture" means to produce,
prepare, compound, or import a listed toxic chemical. See
page 19 for further clarification.)
Import is defined as causing the chemical to be imported into
the customs territory of the United States. If you order a
covered toxic chemical (or a mixture containing the chemical)
from a foreign supplier, then you have imported the chemical
when that shipment arrives at your facility directly from a
source outside of the United States. By ordering the chemical,
you have "caused it to be imported." even though you may
have used an import brokerage firm as an agent to obtain the
chemical.
The term manufacture also includes coincidental production of
a toxic chemical (e.g.,'as a byproduct or impurity) as a result
of the manufacture, processing, use, or treatment of other
chemical substances. In the case of coincidental production
of an impurity (i.e., a chemical that remains in the product that
is distributed in commerce), the de minimis limitation, dis-
cussed on page 12, applies. The da minimis limitation does
not apply to byproducts (e.g., a chemical that is separated
from a process stream and further processed or disposed).
Certain listed toxic chemicals may be manufactured as a result
-------
Page?
General
of wastewater treatment or other treatment processes. For
example, neutralization of acid wastewater can result in the
coincidental manufacture of ammonium nitrate (solution).
EXAMPLE 1: Coincidental Manufacture
Your company, a nitric acid manufacturer, uses ammonia in a
waste treatment system to neutralize an acidic wastewater
stream containing nitric acid. The reaction of the ammonia
and nitric acid produces an ammonium nitrate solution.
Ammonium nitrate solution is a listed toxic substance, as are
nitric acid and ammonia. Your facility otherwise uses ammo-
nia as a reactant and manufactures ammonium nitrate solu-
tion as a byproduct. If the ammonium nitrate solution is
produced in a quantity that exceeds the threshold (e.g.,
25;000 pounds for 1990), the facility must report for ammo-
nium nitrate solution. If more than 10,000 pounds of ammonia
is added to the wastewater treatment system, then the facility
must report for ammonia.
products. The resin contains a listed chemical that
becomes incorporated into the plastic. Your facility proc-
esses the chemical.
Otherwise Use: The term "otherwise use" encompasses any
use of a listed chemical at a facility that does not fall under the
definitions of "manufacture" or "process." A chemical that is
otherwise used by a facility is not intentionally incorporated
into a product distributed in commerce (see page 20 forfuther
clarification). '
EXAMPLES: Otherwise Use
When your facility cleans equipment with toluene, you are
otherwise using toluene. Your facility also separates two
components of a mixture by dissolving one component in
toluene, and subsequently recovers the toluene from the
process for reuse or disposal, your facility otherwise uses
toluene. . >
Process: The term "process" means the preparation of a
listed toxic chemical, after its manufacture, for distribution in
commerce. Processing is usually the intentional incorporation
of a toxic chemical into a product (see page 20 forf urtherclari-
fication). Processing includes preparation of the chemical in
the same physical state or chemical form as that received by
yourfacility, or preparation that produces a change in physical
state or chemical form. The term also applies to the process-
ing of a mixture or othertrade name product (see page 11) that
contains a listed toxic chemical as one component.
EXAMPLE 2: Typical Process and Manufacture
Activities
O Your company receives toluene, a listed toxic chemical,
from another facility, reacts the toluene with air to form
benzoic acid. Your company processes toluene, and
manufactures benzole acid. Benzoic acid, however is not
, a listed chemical and thus does not trigger reporting
requirements,
O Yourfacility combines toluene purchased from a supplier
with various materials to form paint. Your facility proc-
esses toluene. - •
O Your company receives a nickel compound (nickel com-
pound is a listed toxic chemical category) as a bulk solid
and performs various size-reduction operations (e.g.,
grinding) before packaging the compound in 50 pound
bags. Your company processes the nickel compound.
O Your company receives a prepared mixture of resin and
chopped fiberto be used in .the injection molding of plastic
B.3.b Activity Exemptions
Use Exemptions. Certain uses of listed chemicals are specifi-
cally exempted: use as a structural component of the facility;
use in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance; per-
sonal uses by employees or other persons; use of products
containing toxic chemicals for the purpose of maintaining
motor vehicles operated by the facility; or use of toxic chemi-
cals contained in intake water (used for processing or non-
contact cooling) or in intake air (used either as compressed air
or for combustion). -
Article Exemptions. You do not have to factor into threshold
or release determinations quantities of a listed toxic chemical
contained in an article when that article is processed or used
at your facility. An article is defined as a manufactured item
that is formed to a specific shape or design during manufac-
ture, that has end-use functions dependent in whole or in part
upon its shape or design during end-use, and that does not
release a toxic chemical under normal conditions of the
processing or otherwise use of that item at the facility.
If the processing or otherwise use of simitar articles results in
a total release of less than 0.5 pound of a toxic chemical in a
calendar yearto.any environmental media, EPA will allow this
release quantity to be rounded to zero and the manufactured
items remain exempt as articles. EPA requires facilties to
.round off and report all estimates to the nearest whole num-
ber. The 0.5 pound limit does not apply to each individual
article, but applies to the sum of all releases from processing
or otherwise use of like articles.
The article exemption applies to the normal processing or
otherwise use of an article. It does not apply to the manu-
-------
General
PageS
factura of an artlcl*. Toxic chemicals processed into articles
produced at a facility must be factored into threshold and
release determinations.
A closed Hem containing toxic chemicals (e.g., a transformer
containing PCBs) that does not release the chemicals during
normal use Is considered an article if the facility uses the item
as Intended and the toxic chemicals are not released. If the
facility services the transformer by replacing the toxic chemi-
cals, the chemicals added during the reporting year must be
counted In threshold and release calculations.
When the processing or otherwise use of an Item generates
fumes, dust, filings, or grindings, the article exemption is not
applicable, the toxic chemical(s) in the item must be counted
toward the appropriate threshold.determination, and the fumes,
dust, filings, and grindings reported as releases or wastes.
However, if all wastes generated are recycled, whether on- or
off-site, the exemption is applicable. In addition, scrap pieces
that are recognizable as an article do not constitute a release.
Example 4: Artlcte Exemption
•
O Lead that is Incorporated into a lead acid battery is
processed to manufacture the battery, and therefore
must be counted toward threshold and release determi-
nations. However, the use of the lead acid battery
elsewhere in the facility does not have to be counted.
Disposal of the battery after its use does not constitute a
"release*; thus, the battery remains an article.'
O Metal rods that are extruded into wire are not articles
because their form changes during processing.
O If an item used in the facility is fragmented, the item is still
an article if those fragments being discarded remain
Identifiable as the article (e.g., recognizable pieces of a
cylinder, pieces of wire). For instance, an 8-foot piece of
wire Is broken Into two 4-foot pieces of wire, without
releasing any toxic chemicals. Each 4-foot piece Is
Identifiable as a piece of wire; therefore, the article status
for these pieces of wire remains intact .
O Toxic chemicals received in the form of pellets are not ar-
ticles because the pellet form Is simply a convenient form
for further processing of the material.
B.3.c Activity Qualifiers
Tabte II (see pages 41-50) contains the list of individual
chemicals and categories of chemicals subject to 1990 calendar
year reporting. Some of the chemicals listed in Table II have
parenthetic qualifiers listed next to them. A chemical that is »
listed without a qualifier is subject to reporting in all forms in
which it is manufactured, processed, and used.
Fume or dust.. Three of the metals on the list (aluminum,
vanadium, and zinc) contain the qualifier "fume or dust." This
qualifier means that a facility is manufacturing, processing, or
otherwise using the metal in the form of fume or dust. Fume
or dust does not refer to "wet" forms, solutions or slurries, for
example, but only dry forms of these metals. As explained on
page 6 of these instructions, the term manufacture includes
the generation of a chemical as a byproduct or impurity. In
such cases, a facility should determine if, for example, it
generated more than 25,000 pounds of aluminum fume or
dust in 1990 as a result of its activities. If so, the facility must
report that it manufactures "aluminum (fume or dust)." Simi-
larly, there may be certain technologies in which one of these
metals is processed intheform of afume ordustto make other
chemicals or other products for distribution in commerce. In
reporting releases, the facility would only report releases of the
fume or dust.
Manufacturing qualifiers. Two of the entries, to the section 313
chemical list contain a qualifier relating to manufacture. For
isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier is "manufacturing-strong acid
process." For saccharin, the qualifier simply is "manufac-
turing." For isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier means that only
facilities which manufacture isopropyl alcohol by the strong
acid process are required to report. In the case of saccharin,
only manufacturers of the chemical are subject .to the reporting
requirements. A facility that processes or otherwise uses
either chemical would not be required to report for those
chemicals. In both cases, supplier notification does not apply
because only manufacturers, not users, of the toxic chemical
must report.
Solutions. Two substances on the list, ammonium nitrate and
ammonium sulfate, are qualified by the term "solution," which
refers to the physical state of these chemicals. Solid, molten,
and pelletlzed forms of these chemicals are exempt from
threshold, and release determinations. Only facilities,that
manufacture, process, or otherwise use these chemicals in
the form of a solution are required to report. Supplier notifica-
tion applies only if the chemical is distributed as a solution.
Phosphorus fvellow or whftel The listing for phosphorus is
qualified by the term "yellow or white." This means that only
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of phosphorus in
the yellow or white chemical form triggers reporting. Con-
versely, manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of "black"
or "red* phosphorus does not trigger reporting. Supplier
notification also applies only to distribution of yellow or white
phosphorus.
-------
Page 9
General
Asbestos (friable). The listing for asbestos is qualified by the
term "friable," referring to the physical characteristic of being
able tobe crumbled, pulverized, or reducible to a powder with
hand pressure. Only manufacturing, processing, or otherwise
use of asbestos in the friable form triggers reporting. Supplier
notification applies only to distribution of mixtures or trade
name products containing friable asbestos.
Aluminum Oxide (fibrous formsl. The listing for aluminum
oxide is qualified by the term "fibrous forms.' Fibrous refers to
a man-made form of aluminum oxide that is processed to
produce strands or filaments which can be cut to various
lengths depending on the application. Only manufacturing,
processing, or otherwise use of aluminum oxide in the fibrous
form triggers reporting. Supplier notification applies only to
distribution of mixtures or trade name products containing
fibrous forms of aluminum oxide.
B.4 THRESHOLD DETERMINATION
Section 313 reporting is required if threshold quantities are
exceeded. The thresholds vary depending upon the year for
which the report is submitted and separate thresholds apply to
the amount of the chemical that is manufactured, processed,
or otherwise used.
You must submit a report for any listed chemical that is manu-
factured or processed over the course of the year at your
facility in excess of the following threshold:
O For calendar year 1987, 75,000 pounds;
O For calendar year 1988, 50,000 pounds;
O For calendar year 1989 and subsequent years,
25,000 pounds.
You must submit a report if the quantity of a listed chemical
that is otherwise used at your facility exceeds:
O 10,000 pounds during tha course of a calendar year.
B.4.a How to Determine If Thresholds Are
Exceeded
To determine whetheryourfacility has exceeded a section 313
reporting threshold, compare quantities of listed chemicals
that you manufacture, process, or otherwise use to the sepa-
rate respective thresholds for those activities. A suggested
worksheet is provided in Figure B (see page 10) to assist
facilities in determining whether their facility exceeds any of
the reporting thresholds. This worksheet also provides a
format for maintaining reporting facility records. Use of this
worksheet is not required and the completed worksheet(s)
should not accompany Form R reports submitted to EPA and
the State,
A separate worksheet would be completed for each section
313 chemical or chemical category. Chemicals which are
listed with specific qualifiers (e.g., solution; manufacture)
require that the threshold determinations only be based on the
amount of the chemical meeting the qualifier. Use of the
worksheet is divided into three steps:
Step 1 allows you to record the gross amount of the toxic
chemical or chemical category involved in activities through-
out the facility. Pure forms as well as the amounts of the
chemical or chemical category present in mixtures or trade
name products must be considered. The types of activity (i.e.,
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise using) for which the
chemical Is used must be identified because separate thresh-
olds apply to each of these activities. A record of, the
information source(s) used should be kept. Possible informa-
tion sources include purchase records, inventory data, and
calculations by your process engineer. The data collected in
Step 1 will be totalled for each activity to identify the overall
amount of the chemical or chemical category manufactured
(including imported), processed, or otherwise used.
Step 2 allows you to identify uses of the chemical or chemical
category that were included in Step 1 but that are exempt
under section 313. Do not include in Step 2 exempt forms of
the chemical not Included in the calculations in Step i. For
example, if you did not report the freon contained in the
building's air conditioners in Step 1, you would not include the
amount as exempt in Step 2. Step 2 is intended for use when
One form or use of the chemical is exempt while others forms
require reporting. Note the type of exemption for future
reference. Also identify, if applicable, the fraction or percent-
age of the chemical present that is exempt. Add the amounts
in each activity to obtain a subtotal for exempted amounts of
the chemical or chemical categories at the facility.
Step 3 involves subtracting the result of Step 2 from the results
of Step 1 for each activity. Compare this net sum to the
applicable activity threshold. If the threshold is met or ex-
ceeded for any of the three activities, yourfacility must submit
a Form R for that chemical or chemical category. This
worksheet should be retained in either case, to document your
determination for reporting or not reporting. Do not submit this
worksheet, or any other calculations, with your Form R report.
Retain the worksheet for your records.

Genenrt
Do not add together the quantities of the chemical that are
manufactured, processed, and otherwise used at your facility,
because each of these activities requires a separate threshold
determination. For example, if in 1990 you processed 20,000
pounds of a chemical and you otherwise used 6,000 pounds of
that same chemical, your facility has not met or exceeded any
applicable threshold and thus is not required to report for that
chemical.
You must submit a report if you exceed any threshold for
any listed chemical or chemical category. For example, if
vourfacilitv processes 22.000 pounds of a listed chemical and
also otherwise uses 16,000 pounds of that same chemical, al-
though you do not exceed the process threshold, you do
exceed the otherwise used threshold (10,000 pounds) and
you therefore must report. However, in preparing your re-
ports, you must consider all non-exempted activities and all
releases of that chemical from your facility, not just the
releases from the otherwise use activity.
Also note that threshold determinations are based upon the
actual amounts of a chemical manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used over the course of the calendar year. The
threshold determination may not relate to the amount of a toxic
chemical brought on-sfte during the calendar year. For
example, a stockpile of 100,000 pounds of a toxic chemical is
present on-site but only 20,000 pounds is applied to a process.
Therefore, only the 20,000 pounds processed is counted
toward a threshold determination, not the entire 100,000
pounds of the stockpile,
Threshold Determinations for On-Site Reuse/Recvcle
Operations.
Threshold determinations of listed toxic chemicals that are
recycled or reused at the facility are based only on the amount
of the chemical that is added during the year, not the total
volume in the system. For example, a facility operates a
refrigeration unit that contains 15,000 pounds of ammonia .at
the beginning of the year. The system is charged with 2,000
pounds of ammonia during the year. The facility has therefore
"otherwise used* only 2,000 pounds of the covered chemical
and is not required to report (unless there are other "otherwise
use" activities of ammonia which, when taken together, ex-
ceed the reporting threshold). If, however, the whole refrigera-
tion unit had to be recharged with 15,000 pounds of ammonia
during the year, the facility would have exceeded the other-
wise use threshold.
This exemption does not apply to toxic chemicals "recycled"
off-site and returned to the facility. Such toxic chemicals
returned to the facility are treated as the equivalent of newly
purchased material for purposes of section 313 threshold
determinations.
Threshold Determinations for Chemical ^Categories.
A number of chemical compound categories are subject to
reporting. See Table II, page 50, for a listing of these chemical
categories. When reporting for one of these chemical catego-
ries, all individual members of a category that are manufac-
tured, processed, or otherwise used must be added. How-
ever, threshold determinations must be made separately for
each of the three activities. Do not include in these threshold
determinations for a category, any chemicals that are also
specifically listed section 313 toxic chemicals (see Table II,
pages 41 -49). Specifically listed toxic chemicals are subject to
their own, individual threshold determination.
Threshold determinations for metal-containing compounds
present a special case. If, 'for example, you process several
different lead compounds, you would base your threshold
determination on the total weight of all lead compounds
processed. However, if you process both the "parent" metal
(lead) as well as one or more lead compounds, you must make
threshold determinations for both because they are separately
listed toxic chemicals. If you exceed thresholds for both the
parent metal and compounds of that same metal, EPA allows
you to file one combined report (e.g., one report for lead
compounds, including lead) because the release information
you will report in connection with metal compounds will be the
total pounds of the parent metal released.
One other case involving metal compounds should be noted.
Some metal compounds may contain more than one listed
metal. For example, lead chromate is both a lead compound
and a chromium compound. In such cases, if applicable
thresholds are exceeded, you are required to file two separate
reports, one for lead compounds and one for chromium
compounds. You would apply the total weight of. the lead
chromate to the threshold determinations for both lead com-
pounds and chromium compounds. However, if the thresh-
olds are exceeded for these categories, only the amount of
. each parent metal released (not the amount of the compound)
would be reported on the appropriate Form R.
B.4.b Mixtures and Trade Name Products
Toxic chemicals in mixtures and in trade name products must
be factored into threshold and release determinations.
If you Imported, processed, or otherwise used mixtures or
trade name products during calendar year 1990, you are re-
quired to use the best information you have available at the
facility to determine whether the components of a mixture are
above the da minimi's concentration and therefore must be
included in threshold and release determinations. If you know
that a mixture or trade name product contains a specific toxic
chemical, combine the amount of the toxic chemical in the
-------
General
Page 12
mWure'or trade name product with the other amounts of the
same chemical Imported, processed or otherwise used at your
facility for threshold and release determinations. If the facility
knows that a mixture contains a toxic chemical but no concen-
tration information is provided by-the supplier, then the facility
does not have to consider the amount of the toxic chemical
present in that mixture for purposes of threshold and release
determinations. If a facility owner/operator only knows the
lower bound concentration of a toxic chemical present in a
mixture, the owner/operator should first subtract out the
percentages of any other known components of the mixture to
determine a reasonable "maximum" for the toxic chemical. If
no other Information Is available, the facility owner/operator
should assume the "maximum" is 100%. Then, use the
midpoint of the known "minimum" (the lower bound concentra-
tion) and the reasonable "maximum" for threshold determina-
tions. If only a range of concentrations is available for a toxic
chemical present in a mixure, the owner/operator should use
an average of the low and high concentrations numbers for
threshold determinations. (See Figure C on page 14 for more
Information.)
De Minlmis Limitation. A listed toxic chemical does, not have
to be considered if it Is present In a mixture at a concentration
below a specified de minlmis level. The de minimis level is
1.0%, or 0.1% if the chemical meets the OSHA carcinogen
standard. See Table II for the de minlmis value associated
with each listed toxic chemical. For mixtures that contain more
than one memberof a listed chemical category, the de minimis
level applies to the aggregate concentration of all such members
and not to each Individually. EPA included the de minlmis
exemption in the rule as a burden reducing step, primarily
because facilities are not likely to have information on the
presence of a chemical in a mixture or trade name product
beyond that available in the product's MSDS. The de minimis
levels are consistent with OSHA requirements for develop-
ment of MSDS Information concerning composition.
For threshold determinations, the de minimis limitation applies
to:
O A listed toxic chemical In a mixture or trade name product
received by the facility.
O A listed toxic chemical manufactured during a process
where the chemical remains in a mixture or trade name
product distributed by the facility.
The cte minlmis does not apply to:
O A chemical manufactured at the facility that does not
remain in a product distributed by the facility. A threshold
determination must be made on the annual quantity of the
chemical manufactured regardless of the, concentration.
For example, quantities of formaldehyde created as a
result of waste treatment must be applied toward the
threshold for "manufacture" of this chemical, regardless
of the concentration of this chemical in the wastestream.
O Chemicals in ores, wastes, etc., that undergo beneficia-
tion for purposes of production of that chemical. For
example, a company recovers silver by processing waste
material containing silver at less than 1% total weight of
the material. Although silver is received af less than the
da minimis concentration, the cte minlmis would not apply
because the process concentrates and produces silver as
an end product.
In general, when the de minimis applies to threshold determi-
nations and the concentration of the chemical in the mixture is
below the de minimis, then you are not required to report
releases associated with the processing or use of the chemical
in that mixture. Note that it is possible to meet the threshold
for a chemical on a facility-wide basis, but not be required to
calculate releases from a particular process because that
process involves only mixtures containing the chemical below
the de minimis level. .
Application of the de minimis limitation to process streams
must also be reviewed. Mixtures containing toxic chemicals
can be added to a process or generated within a process. In
both cases (assuming reporting thresholds are exceeded) a
facility is required to consider and report releases from the
process up to the point where the concentration of the chemi-
cal falls below the de minimis level. For example, a 10%
solution of a listed chemical is mixed into a formulated cleaning
solution, resulting in a final concentration of less than 1 %.
Releases such as air emissions, from the mixing vessel must
be counted, but releases from the finished formulation are not
counted because the de minimis exemption applies.
Similarly, in processes where the listed toxic chemical occurs
at a concentration below the de minimis level and is processed
to a concentration above the cte minimis level, the portion of
the process where the toxic chemical is present above the de
minimis level must be considered for threshold and release
determinations, for example, an impurity contained in a sol-
vent that is concentrated to above the cte minimis level in a
process. Beneficiation activities involving listed toxic chemi-
cals present in ores, natural gas, and crude oil are an excep-
tion and require threshold and release determinations regard-
less of concentration of the listed toxic chemical(s) involved in
the beneficiation process. '
Supplier Notification. In 1989 and subsequent years, suppli-
ers of facilities in SIC codes 20-39 are required to develop and
distribute a notice if the mixtures or trade name products that
they manufacture or process, and subsequently distribute,
contain listed toxic chemicals. These notices are distributed to
other companies in SIC codes 20-39 or to companies that sell
-------
Page 13 General
the product to facilities in SIC codes 20-39. If a Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) is not required for the mixture or trade
name product/the notification must be in written form (i.e.,
letter or attachment to a MSDS). Otherwise, the notice must
be incorporated into or attached to the MSDS forthat product.
The supplier notification requirement began with the first
shipment of a product in 1989 and must accompany the first
shipment each year thereafter. In addition, a new or revised
notice must be sent if a change occurs in the product which
affects the weight percent of a listed chemical or if it is discov-
ered that a previous notice did not properly identify the
chemicals orthe percentage by weight. For more information
on supplier notification, see Appendix E.
If listed toxic chemicals are present equal to or above the de
minimis cut-off level, your supplier must identify the specific
components as they appear in Table II and provide their
percentage composition by weight in the mixture or product. If
your supplier maintains that the identity of a toxic chemical is
a trade secret, a generic identity that is structurally descriptive
must be supplied on the notice. A maximum concentration
level must be provided if your supplier contends that chemical
composition information is a trade secret, in either case, you
do not need to make a trade secret claim on behalf of your
supplier (unless you consider your use of the proprietary
mixture atrade secret). On Form R, identify the toxic chemical
you are reporting according to its generic name provided in the
notification. (See the instructions for Part III, Section 2 on
page 19 for more information.) If the listed chemical is present
below the de minimis level, no notification is required.

C. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING EPA FORM R
The following are specific instructions for completing each part
of EPA Form R. The number designations of the parts and
sections of these instructions correspond to those in Form R
unless otherwise indicated.
A sample of a completed Form R for a hypothetical facility re-
porting under Title III, section 313, is included as Appendix C.
You may want to refer to this sample as you read through
these instructions.
Instructions for Completing All Parts of Form R:
1. Type or print information on the form in the units and
format requested.
2. All information on Form R is required except Part III,
Section 8. .
3. Do not leave items on Form R blank unless specifically
directed to do so; if an item does not apply to you, enter
"NA," not applicable, in the space provided. If your
information does not fill all the spaces provided for a type
of information, enter NA, in the next blank space in the
sequence.
4. Report releases and off-site transfers to the nearest
pound. Do not report fractions, of pounds.
5. Do not submit an incomplete form. The certification
statement (Part I) specifies that the report is complete as
submitted. See page 1 of these instructions for the defini-
tion of a complete submission.
6. When completing Part IV, supplemental information, or
additional pages for Part II of the form, number the
additional information sequentially from the prior sections
"of the form.
7. The box labelled "This space for your optional use" on
each page may be used to differentiate one chemical-
specific submission from another. This box is used to
identify a voluntary revision of a previous submission (see
page 2).
This box may also, be used to record the toxic chemical
name on page 1 of Form R. EPA encourages recording
the toxic chemical name in this box to make recordkeep-
ing easier for both you and EPA.
PART I. FACILITY IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
1.1 Are you claiming the chemical Identity on page 3
trade secret?
Answer this question only after you have completed the rest of
the report. The specific identity of the toxic chemical being
reported in Part III, Sections 1.2 and 1.3, may.be designated
as trade secret If you are making a trade secret claim, mark
"yes" and proceed to Section 1.2. Only check "Yes" if it is your
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of the chemical
that is a trade secret. (See page 1 of these instructions for
specific information on trade secrecy claims.) If you checked
"no," proceed to Section 1.3; do not answer Section 1.2.
1.2 If "yes" In 1.1, Is this copy sanitized or
unsanftlzed?
Answer this question only after you have completed the rest of
the report. Check "sanitized" if this copy of the report is the
public version, which does not contain the chemical identity
but does contain a generic name in its place, and you have
claimed the chemical identity trade secret in Part I, Section
1.1. Otherwise, check "unsanftized."
1.3 Reporting Year
Enter the last two digits of the calendar year to which the
reported information applies, not the year in which you.are
submitting the report. Information for the 1990 reporting year
must be submitted on or before July 1,1991.
2. Certification
The certification statement must be signed by the owner or
operator or a senior official with management responsibi lity for
the person (or persons) completing the form. The owner,
operator, or official must certify the accuracy and complete-
ness of the information reported on the form by signing and
dating the certification statement. Each report must contain
an original signature. Print or type in the space provided the
name and title of the person who signs the statement. This
certification statement applies to all the information supplied
on the form and should be signed only after the form has been
completed.

Form R - Part I
Page 16
3.1 Facility Nam* and Location
Enterthe name of yourfaciltty (plant site name or appropriate
facility designation), street address, city, county, state, zip
code, andTRI Facility Identification number (if appropriate), in
the space provided. Do not use a post office box number as
the address. The address provided should be the location
where the chemicals are manufactured, processed, or other-
wise used.
If you have submitted a Form R for previous reporting years,
aTRI Facility Identification Number has been assigned to your
facility. The TRI Facility Identification Number appears on the
peel-off mailing label on the cover of the Toxic; Chemical
Release Inventory Reporting Package for 1990 (EPA 560/4-
91-001) you should have received directly from EPA. Remove
this mailing label from the back cover of the reporting package
and apply itto Part I, Section 3.1 of the blank Form R in Appen-
dix A. Then photocopy that page for use as the master copy
of page 1 for all the reports you are submitting.
If you do not have a mailing label or cannot locate your TRI
Facility Identification Number, please contact the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline.
Enter your TRI Facility Identification number to each Form R
that your facility submits.
Enter NA to the space for the TRI Facility Identification
number, if this is your first submission of a Form R.
3.2 Full or Partial Facility Indication
A covered facility must report all releases of a listed chemical
if it meets a reporting threshold for that chemical. However, if
the facility Is composed of several distinct establishments,
EPA allows these establishments to submit separate reports
for the chemical as long as all releases of the chemical from
the entire facility are accounted for. Indicate in Section 3.2
whether your report Is f orthe entire covered facility as a whole
or for part of a covered facility. Check box a. if the chemical
Information applies to the entire covered facility. Check box b.
if the chemical Information applies only to part of a covered
facility.
Section 313 requires reports by "facilities," which are defined
as "all buildings, equipment, structures, and other stationary
items which are located on a single site or on contiguous or
adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same
person,"
The SIC code system defines business "establishments' as
"distinct and separate economic activities [that] are performed
at a single physical location.' Under section 372.30(c) of the
reporting rule, you may submit a separate Form R for each
establishment, or for groups of establishments, in your cov-
ered facility, provided that all releases of the toxic chemicals
from the entire covered facility are reported. This allows you
the option of reporting separately on the activities involving a
toxic chemical at each establishment, or group of establish-
ments (e.g., part of a covered facility), rather than submitting
a single Form R for that chemical for the entire facility.
However, if an establishment orgroup of establishments does
not manufacture, process, or otherwise use or release a toxic
chemical, you do not have to submit a report for that establish-
ment or group of establishments. (See also Section B.2.a on
page 5.)
3.3 Technical Contact
Enterthe name and telephone number (including area code)
of a technical representative whom EPA or State officials may
contact fordarificatioh of the information reported on Form R.
This contact person does not have to be the same person who
prepares the report or signs the certification statement and
does not necessarily need to be someone at the location of the
reporting facility; however, this person must be familiar with
the details of the report so that he or she can answer questions
about the information provided.
3.4 Public Contact
Enterthe name and telephone number (including area code)
of a person who can respond to questions from the public
about the report if you choose to designate the same person
as both the technical and the public contact, you may enter
"Same as Section 3.3" in this space. This contact person does
not have to be the same person who prepares the report or
signs the certification- statement and does not necessarily
need to be someone at the location of the reporting facility.
3.5 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code
Enterthe appropriate 4-djgit primary Standard Industrial Clas-
sification (SIC) code foryourfaciiity (Table I, pages 35-40, lists
the SIC codes within the 20-39 range). If the report covers
more than one establishment, enter the primary 4-digit SIC
code for each establishment. You are required to enter SIC
codes only for those establishments within the facility that fall
within SIC codes 20 to 39. if you do not know your SIC code,
check with your financial office or contact your local Chamber
of Commerce or State Department of Labor.
3.6 Latitude and Longitude
Enter the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of your facil-
ity. Sources of these data include EPA permits (e.g., NPDES
permits), county property records, facility blueprints, and site
plans. Instructions on how to determine these coordi-
nates can be found In Appendix F. Enter only numerical
data. Do not preface numbers with letters such as N or W to
denote the hemisphere. ,
-------
Page 17
Form R - Part I
Latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are very
important for pinpointing the location of reporting facilities and
are required elements on the Form R. EPA is encouraging
facilities to make the best possible measurements when
determining latitude and longitude. As with any other data
field, missing, suspect, or incorrect data ma'y generate a
Notice of Technical Error to be issued to the facility. (See
Appendix D: Commonly Made Errors on Form R Reports).
3.7 Facility Dun and Bradstreet Number
Enter the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet
(D&B) for your facility or each establishment within your
facility. These numbers code the facility for financial pur-
poses. This number may be available from your facility's
treasurer orfinancial officer. You can also obtain the numbers
from your local Dun and Bradstreet office (check the telephone
book White Pages). If a facility does not subscribe to the D &
B service, a "support number* can be obtained from the Dun
& Bradstreet center located in Allentown, Pennsylvania at
(215) 391-1886 (8:30 am to 7:30 pm, Eastern Time). If none
of your establishments has been assigned a D & B number,
enter not applicable, NA, in box a. If only some of your estab-
lishments have been assigned Dun and Bradstreet numbers,
enter those numbers in Section 3.7.
3.8 EPA Identification Number
The EPA I.D. Number is a 12-digit number assigned to
facilities covered by hazardous waste regulations under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Facilities
not covered by RCRA are not likely to have an assigned I.D.
Number. If yourfacility is not required to have an I.D. Number,
enter not applicable, NA, in box a. If your facility has been
assigned EPA Identification Numbers, you must enter those
numbers in the spaces provided in Section 3.8.
3.9 NPDES Permit Number
Enter the numbers of any permits yourfacility holds under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
even if the permit(s) do not pertain to the toxic chemical being
reported. This 9-digit permit number is assigned to yourfacility
by EPAorthe State underthe authority of the Clean Water Act.
If yourfacility does not have a permit, enter not applicable, NA,
jn box a.
3.10 Receiving Streams or Water Bodies
In Section 3.10 you are to enter the name(s) of the stream(s)
or water body(ies) to which yourfacility directly discharges the
chemicals you are reporting. A total of six spaces are
provided, lettered a through f. The information you provide
relates directly to the discharge quantity information required
in Part III, Section 5.3. You can complete Section 3.10 in one
of two ways. You can enter only those stream names that
relate to the specific chemical that is the .subject of the report
or, you can enter all stream names that relate to all covered
chemicals being reported by the facility. Enter the name of
each receiving stream or surface water body to which' the
chemical being reported is directly discharged. Report the
name of the receiving stream or water body as it appears on
the NPDES permit for the facility. If the stream is not covered
by a permit, enterthe name of the off-site stream or water body
by which it is publicly known. Also do not list a series of
streams through which the chemical flows. Be sure to include
the receiving stream(s) or water body(ies) that receive storm-
water runoff from yourfacility. Do not enter names of streams
to which off-site treatment plants discharge. Enter not appli-
cable, NA, in Section 3.10a. if you do not discharge any listed
toxic chemicals to surface water bodies.
3.11 Underground Injection Well Code (UlC)
Identification Number
If yourfacility has a permitto injectawaste containing the toxic
chemical into Class 1 deep wells, enterthe 12-digit Under-
ground Injection Well Code (UlC) identification number as-
signed by EPA or by the State under the authority of the Safe
Drinking Water Act. If your facility does not hold such a
permit(s), enter not applicable, NA, in Section 3.11 a. You are
only required to provide the UlC number for wells that receive
the toxic chemical being reported.
4. Parent Company Information
You must provide information on your parent company. For
purposes of Form R, a parent company is defined as the
highest level company, located in the United States, that di-
rectly owns at least 50 percent of the voting stock of your
company. If yourfacility is owned by a foreign entity, enter not
applicable, NA, in this space. Corporate names should be
treated as parent company names for companies with multiple
facility sites. For example, the Bestchem Corporation is not
owned or controlled by any other corporation but has sites
throughoutthe country whose names begin with Bestchem. In
this case, Bestchem Corporation would be listed as the
"parent" company.
4.1 Name of Parent Company
Enterthe name of the corporation or other business entity that
is your ultimate US parent company. If your facility has no
parent company, enter not applicable, NA.
4.2 Parent Company's Dun & Bradstreet Number

PART II. OFF-SITE LOCATIONS TO WHICH TOXIC
CHEMCALSARETRANSFERRED IN WASTES
In this part of the form, you are required to list all off-site
locations to which you transfer wastes containing toxic chemicals.
Do not list locations to which products containing toxic chemi-
cals are shipped for sale or distribution in commerce or for
further use. Also, do not list locations to which wastes
containing chemicals are sold or sent for recovery, recycling,
or reuse of the toxic chemicals. The information that you enter
in this section relates to data you will report in Part III, Section
6.
You may complete Part II for only the off-site locations that
apply to the specific chemical cited in a particular report oj; you
can list all off-site locations that apply to all chemicals being
reported and include a photostatic copy of Part II with each
' Individual report. List only publicly owned treatment works
(POTWs) and off-site treatment or disposal facilities.
1. Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
Enter the name and address of each POTW to which your
facility discharges wastewater containing toxic chemicals for
which you are reporting. If you do not discharge wastewater
containing the reported toxic chemicals to a POTW, enter not
applicable, NA, In the POTW name line in Part II, Section 1.1.
If you discharge such wastewater to more than two POTWs,
use additional copies of Part II. Cross through the printed
numbers and write in numbers forthese locations in ascending
order(e.g., 1.3,1.4). Check the box at the bottom of the page
and indicate the number of additional pages of Part II that are
attached.
2. Othor Off-Site Locations
Enter in the spaces provided, the name and address of each
location (other than POTWs) to which you ship or transfer
wastes containing toxic chemicals. Do not include locations to
which you ship the toxic chemical for recycle or reuse. If you
do notshiportransferwastescontaining toxic chemicals to off-
site locations, enter not applicable, NA in the off-site location
name line of 2.1. Also enter the EPA Identification Number
(RCRA I.D. Number) for each such location if known to you.
This number may be found on the Uniform Hazardous Waste
Manifest, which is required by RCRA regulations. Also indi-
cate In the space provided whether the location is owned or
controlled by yourfacility or your parent company. If the facility
does not have a RCRA I.D. number, enter not applicable, NA,
in this space.
If yourfacility transfers toxic chemicals to more than six off-site
locations, use additional copies of Part II. Cross through the
printed numbers and write in numbers for these locations in
ascending order (i.e., 2.7, 2.8). Check the box at the bottom
of the page and indicate the number of additional pages of Part
II that are attached.
EXAMPLES: Off-Site Locations
Yourfacility is involved in chrome plating of metal parts, which
produces an aqueous plating waste that is treated on-site to
recover chromium sludge. The effluent from the on-site
treatment plant, which contains chromium compounds (a
listed toxic chemical), is piped to a POTW. The chromium
sludge is transferred to an off-site, privately owned firm forthe
recovery of the chromium.
You must report the location of the POTW in Section 1 in Part
II of Form R. Do not report any information about the bn-site
treatment plant in this section. You are not required to report
the location of the off-site, privately owned recovery firm or
provide any information concerning off-site recovery because
recycling or reuse of toxic chemicals is exempt from reporting.
PART III. CHEMICAL-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
In Part III, you are to identify the toxic chemical being reported.
You must indicate the general uses and activities involving the
chemical at your facility. In Part III, you will also enter
quantitative data relating to releases of the chemical from the
facility to air, water, and land. Quantities of the chemical
transferred to off-site locations, identified in Part II, are also
reported in this part. Any waste treatment information for on-
site treatment of wastestreams containing the toxic chemical
are also required to be reported on Part III. An pptional section
is included in this part that allows you to report waste minimi-
zation information associated with the chemical.
1.1 [Reserved]
1.2 CAS Number
Enter the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number
in Section 1.2 exactly as it appears in Table II, pages 41 -50, for
the chemical being reported. CAS numbers are cross-refer-
enced with an alphabetical list of chemical names in Table II of
these instructions. If you are reporting one of the chemical
categories in Table II (e.g., copper compounds), enter not
applicable, NA, in the CAS number space.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the
CAS number on your unsanitized Form R and unsanitized
substantiation form. Do not include the CAS number on your
sanitized Form R and sanitized substantiation form (see page
1 for more information).
1.3 Chemical or Chemical Category Name
Enter the name of the chemical or chemical category exactly
as it appears in Table II. If the chemical name is followed by
a synonym in parentheses, report the chemical by the name
that directly follows the CAS number (i.e., not the synonym).
-------
Page 19
Form R-Part W
If the listed chemical identity is actually a product trade name
(e.g., dteofol), the 9th Collective Index name is listed below it
in brackets. You may report either name in this case.
Do not list the name of a chemical that does not appear in
Table II, such as individual members of a reportable category.
For example, if you usa silver nitrate, do not report silver nitrate
with its CAS number. Report this chemical as "silver com-
pounds" which has no CAS number.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the
specific chemical identity on your unsanitized Form R and
unsanitized substantiation form. Do not report the chemical
name on your sanitized Form R and sanitized substantiation
"form. Include a generic name in Part III, Section 1.4 of your
sanitized Form R report.
EPA requests that the chemical name also be placed on page
1 of Form R in the box marked "This space for your optional
use." Entering the chemical name in this box is not required,
however, it will make recordkeeping and reviewing of Form R
much easier for both you and EPA.
1.4 Generic Chemical Name
Complete Section 1.4 only if you are claiming the specific
chemical identity of the toxic chemical as a trade secret and
have marked the trade secret block in Part I, Section 1.1 on
page 1 of Form R. Enter a generic chemical name that is
descriptive of the chemical structure. You must Jimrt the
generic name to seventy characters (e.g., numbers, letters,
spaces, punctuation) or less. Do not enter mixture names in
Section 1.4; see Sectp 2 below.
In-house plant codes and other substitute names that are not
structurally descriptive ot the chemical identity being withheld
as a trade secret are not acceptable as a generic name. The
generic name must appear on both sanitized and unsanitized
Form R's, and the name must be the same as that used on
your substantiation fofes. The Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-KfS« Information Hotline can provide
you with assistance in selecting an appropriate generic name.
2. Mixture Component Identity
I
Do not complete this sign If you have completed Section 1
of Part III. Report the ^eric name provided to you by your
supplier in the section iljout supplier is claiming the chemical
identity proprietary ortrSe secret. Do not answer "yes" in Part
I, Section 1.1 on page 1 pithetorm if you complete this section.
You do not need to supply \wde secret substantiation forms
since it is your supplier"^! claiming the material a trade
secret. J
Enter the generic chemicaLjname in this section only if the
following three conditions apply:
1. You determine that the mixture contains a listed toxic
chemical but the only identity you have for that chemical
is a generic name;
2. You know either the specific concentration of that toxic
chemical component or a maximum concentration level;
and
3. You multiply the concentration level by the total annual
amount of the whole mixture used (or processed) and
determine that you meet the use or process threshold for
that single, generically identified mixture component.
EXAMPLE 6: Mixture Containing Unidentified Toxic
Chemical
Your facility uses 20,000 pounds of a solvent that your supplier
has told you contains 80 percent "chlorinated aromatic," their
generic name for a chemical subject to reporting under section
313. You therefore know that you have used 16,000 pounds
of some listed toxic chemical which exceeds the "otherwise
use" threshold. You would file a Form R and enter the name
"chlorinated aromatic" in the space provided in Part III, Section
2.
3. Activities and Uses of the Chemical at the Facility
Indicate whether the chemical is manufactured (including
imported), processed, or otherwise used at the facility and the
general nature of such activities and uses at the facility during
the calendar year. Reportactivitiesthattakeplaceonlyatyour
facility, not activities that take place at otherfacilities involving
your products. You must cfieck_aLthe boxes in this section
that apply. If you are a manufacturer of the chemical, you must
check a and/orb, and at least one of c, d, e, orf. Refer to the
definitions of "manufacture," "process," and "otherwise use" in
the general information section of these instructions or section
372.3 of the rule for additional explanations.
3.1 Manufacture the Chemical
Persons who manufacture (including import) the toxic chemi-
cal must check at least one:
a. Produce - the chemical is produced at the facility.
b. Import - the chemical is Imported by the facility into the
Customs Territory of the United States. (See page 6 of
• these instructions for further clarification of. import.)
-------
Form R - Part III
Page 20
And check at least one:
c. Foron-site use/processing- the chemical is produced or
imported and then further processed or otherwise used at
the same facility. If you check this block, you must also
check at least one item in Part III, Section 3.2 or 3.3.
d. For sale/distribution - the chemical Is produced or im-
ported specifically for sale or distribution outside the
manufacturing facility.
Q. Asa byproduct- the chemical is produced coincidentally
during the production, processing, otherwise use, or dis-
posal of another chemical substance or mixture and,
following Its production, is separated from that other
chemical substance or mixture. Chemicals produced and
released as a result of waste treatment or disposal are
also considered byproducts.
f. As an impurity- the chemical is produced coincidentally
as a result of the manufacture, processing, or otherwise
use of another chemical but is not separated and remains
primarily In the mixture or product with that other chemi-
cal.
3.2 Process the Chemical
(Incorporath/e-type activities)
a. As a reactant - A natural or synthetic chemical used in
chemical reactions forthe manufacture of another chemi-
cal substance or of a product. Includes, but is not limited
to, feedstocks, raw materials, intermediates, and initia-
tors.
b. As a formulation component • A chemical added to a
product (or product mixture) prior to further distribution of
the product that acts as a performance enhancer during
use of the product. Examples of chemicals used in this
• capacity Include, but are not limited to, additives, dyes,
reaction diluents, initiators, solvents, inhibitors, emulsifi-
ers, surfactants, lubricants, flame retardants, and rheol-
ogical modifiers.
c. As an article component - A chemical substance that
becomes an Integral component of an article distributed
for Industrial, trade, orconsumer use. .One example is the
pigment components of paint applied to a chair that is
sold.
d. Repackaging only- Processing or preparation of a chemi-
cal (or product mixture) for distribution in commerce in a
different form, state, or quantity. This includes, but is not
limited to, the transfer of material from a bulk container,
such as a tank truck to smaller cans or bottles.
3.3 Otherwise Use the Chemical
(non-lncorporative-type activities)
a. Asa chemical processing aid- A chemical that is added
to a reaction mixture to aid in the manufacture or synthe-
sis of another chemical substance but is not intended to
remain in or become part of the product or product
mixture. Examples of such chemicals include, but are not
limited to. process solvents, catalysts, inhibitors, initia-
tors, reaction terminators, and solution buffers.
b. As a manufacturing aid- A chemical that aids the manu-
facturing process but does not become part of the result-
ing product and is not added to the reaction mixture during
the manufacture or synthesis of another chemical sub-
stance. Examples include, but are not limited to, process
lubricants, metalworking fluids, coolants, refrigerants,
and hydraulic fluids.
c. Ancillary or other use - A chemical in this category that is
used at a facility for purposes other than as a chemical
processing aid or manufacturing aid as described above.
Includes, but is not limited to, cleaners, degreasers, lubri-
cants, fuels, and chemicals used for treating wastes.
EXAMPLE 7: Activities and Uses of Toxic Chemicals
In the example below, it is assumed that the threshold quan-
tities for manufacture, process, or otherwise use (25,000
pounds, 25,000 pounds, and 10,000 pounds, respectively, for
1990) have been exceeded and the reporting of listed chemi-
cals is therefore required.
Your facility manufacures sulfuric acid. Fifty percent is
sold as a product. The remaining 50 percent is reacted
with naphthalene, which forms phthalic acid and also
produces sulfur dioxide fumes.
Yourcompanv manufactures sutfurie acid, a listed chemi-
cal, both forsale/distributlonas acommercial product and
for on-site use/processing as a feedstock in the phthalic
. acid production process. Because the sulfuric acid is ai&
acJaoL it is also processed^ See Figure D for how this
information would be reported in Part III, Section 3 of
FormR.
Your facility also processe? naphthalene, as reactant to
produce phthalic acid, a chemical not on the section 313
list . ,

If the toxic chemical present at your facility was part of a
mixture or trade name product, determine the maximum
quantity of the chemical present at the facility by calculating
the weight of the toxic chemical only. Do not include the weight
of the entire mixture or trade name product. See section
372.30(b) of the reporting rule for further information on how
to calculate the weight of the chemical in the mixture ortrade
name product. For chemical categories (e.g.. rapper com-
pounds), include all chemicals in the category when calculat-
ing the weight of the toxic chemical.
of a chemical from a product. For example, amounts of a
covered toxic chemical that migrate from plastic products in
storage do not have to be counted in estimates of releases of
that chemical from the facility. Also, amounts of listed rrfetal
compounds (e.g., copper compounds) that are lost due to
normal corrosion of process equipment do not have to be
considered as releases of copper compounds from the facility.
All air releases of the chemical from the facility must be
accounted for. Do not enter information on individual emission
points or releases. Enter only the total release. If there is
doubt about whether an air release is a point or non-point
release, you must identify the release as one or the other
rather than leave items 5.1 and 5.2 blank. Instructions for
columns A, B, and C follow the discussions of Sections 5.1
through 5.5. .
5.1 Fugitive or Non-Point Air Emissions
Report the total of all releases to the air that are not released
through stacks, vents, ducts, pipes, or any other confined air
stream. You must include (1) fugitive equipment leaks from
valves, pump seals, flanges, compressors, sampling connec-
tions, open-ended lines, etc.; (2) evaporative losses from
surface impoundments and spills; (3) releases from building
ventilation systems; and (4) any other fugitive or non-point air
emissions.
5.2 Stack or Point Air Emissions
Report the total of all releases to the air that occur through
stacks, vents, ducts, pipes, or other confined air streams. You
must include storage tank emissions. Air releases from air
pollution control equipment would generally fall in this cate-
gory.
5. Release* of the Chemical to the Environment
On-Slte
In Section 5, you must account forthe total aggregate releases
of the toxic chemical to the environment from yourfacility for
the calendar year. Releases to the environment include
emissions to the air, discharges to surface waters, and on-site
releases to land and underground injection wells. If you have
no releases to a particular media (e.g., stack air), enter not
applicable, NA; do not leave any part of Section 5 blank.
Check the box.on the last line of this section if you use Part IV,
the supplemental information sheet.
You are not required to count, as a release, quantities of atoxic
chemical that are Jost due to natural weathering or corrosion,
normal/natural degradation of a product, or normal migration
. 5.3 Discharges to Receiving Streams or Water Bodies
Enter the applicable letter code for the receiving stream or
water body from Section 3.10 of Part I of the form. Also, enter
the total annual amount of the chemical released from all
discharge points at the facility to each receiving stream or
water body. Include process outfalls such as pipes and open
trenches, releases from on-site wastewater treatment sys-
tems, and the contribution from stormwater runoff, if appli-
cable (see instructions for column C below). Do not include
discharges to a POTW or other off-site wastewater treatment
facilities in this section. These off-site transfers must be
reported in Part III, Section 6 of the form.
Discharges of listed acids (e.g., hydrogen flouride; hydrogen
chloride; nitric acid; phosphoric acid; and sulf uric acid) may be
-------
Page 23
Form R-Part III
reported as zero if the discharges have been neutralized to pH
6 or above. If wastewater containing a listed mineral acid Is
discharged below pH 6, then releases of the mineral acid must
be reported. In this case, it is possible to use pH measure-
ments to estimate the amount of-mineral acid released.
5.4 Underground injection On-Stte
Enterthe total annual amount of the chemtealthat was injected
into all wells, including Class I wells, at the facility.
5.5 Releases to Land On-SKe
Four predefined subcategories for reporting quantities re-
leased to land within the boundaries of the facility are pro-
vided. Do not report land disposal at off-site locations in this
section.
5.5.1 Landfill - Typically, the ultimate disposal method for
solid wastes is landfilling. Leaks from landfills need not be
reported as a release because the amount of the toxic chemi-
cal in the landfill has already been reported as a release.
5.5.2 Land treatment/application farming -- Another dis-
posal method is land treatment in which a waste containing a
listed chemical is applied onto or incorporated into soil. While
this disposal method is considered a release to land, any vola-
tilization of listed chemicals into the air occurring during the
disposal operation must be reported as a fugitive air release in
Section 5.1 of Form R.
5.5.3 Surf ace impou ndment ~ A natural topographic depres-
sion, man-made excavation, or diked area formed primarily of
earthen materials (although some may,be lined with man-
made materials), which is designed to hold an accumulation of
liquid wastes or wastes containing free liquids. Examples of
surface impoundments are holding, settling, storage, and
elevation pits; ponds; and lagoons, if the pit, pond, or lagoon
is intended for storage or holding without discharge, it would
be considered to be a surface impoundment used as a final
disposal method.
Quantities of the chemical released to surface impoundments
that are used merely as part of a wastewater treatment
process generally must not be reported in this section. How-
ever, if the impoundment accumulates sludges containing the
chemical, you must include an estimate in this section unless
the sludges are removed and otherwise disposed of (in which
case they should be reported under the appropriate section of
the form). For the purposes of this reporting, storage tanks are
not considered to be a type of disposal and are not to be
reported in this section of the form.
5.5.4 Other disposal ~ Includes any amount of a listed toxic
chemical released to land that does not fit the categories of
landfills, land treatment, or surface impoundment. This other
disposal would include any spills or leaks of listed toxic
chemicals to land. For example, 2,000 pounds benzene leaks
from a underground pipeline into the land at a facility. Beca'use
the pipe was only a few feet from the surface at the erupt point,
30 percent of the benzene evaporates into the air. The 600
pounds released to the air would be reported as a fugitive air
release (Section 5.1) and the remaining 1,400 pounds would
be reported as. a release to land, other disposal (Section
5.5.4).
5.A Total Release
Only on-site releases of the toxic chemical to the environment
for the calendar year are to be reported in this section of the
form. The total releases from your facility do not include
transfers or shipments of the chemical from your facility for
sale or distribution in commerce, or of wastes to otherf acilities
for treatment ordisposal (see Part III, Section 6). Both routine
releases, such as fugitive airemissions, and accidental or non-
routine releases, such as chemical spills, must be Included in
your estimate of the quantity released. EPA requires no more
than two significant digits when reporting releases (e.g., 7,521
pounds would be reported as 7,500 pounds).
Releases of Less Than One Poundt Total annual releases or
off-site transfers of a toxic chemical from the facility of less
than 1 pound may be reported in one of several ways. You
should round the value to the nearest pound. If the estimate
is 0.5 pounds or greater, you should either check the range
bracket of "1 -10" in column A.1 or enter "1" in column A.2. Q&
nal use both columns A, 1 and A.2. If the release is less than
0.5 pounds, you may round to zero and enter "0" column A.2.
Note that total annual releases of less than 0.5 pounds from
the processing or otherwise use of an article maintains the
article status of that item. Thus, if the only releases you have
are from processing an article, and such releases are less than
0.5 pounds per year, you are not required to submit a report for
that chemical. The 0.5 pound release determination does not
apply to just a single article. It applies to the cumulative
releases from the processing or otherwise use of that same
type of article (e.g., sheet metal or plastic film) that occurs over
the course of the calendar year.
Zero Releases. If you have no releases of a toxic chemical to
a particular medium, report either NA, not applicable, or 0, as
appropriate. Report NA only when there is no possibility a
release could occur to a specific media or off-site location. If
a release to a specific media or off-site location could occur,
but either no release occurred orthe annual aggregate release
was less than 0.5 pounds, report zero. However, if you report
zero releases, a basis of estimate must be provided in column
B. For example, if hydrochloric acid is involved in the facility
processing activities but the facility neutralizes the wastestreams
-------
Form R - Part ill
Page 24
to a pH of 6 or above, then the facility reports a 0 release for
the chemical. If the facility has no underground injection well,
it enters NA for that item on the form. If the facility does not
landfill the acidic waste, It enters NA for landfills.
5.A/f Reporting Range*
You may take advantage of range reporting for releases to an
environmental medium that are less than 1,000 pounds forthe
year. If you choose this option, mark one of the three boxes,
1-10,11 -499, or 500-999, that corresponds to releases of the
chemical to the appropriate environmental medium (i.e., any
line Item). You are not required, however, to use these range
check boxes; you have the option of providing a specific value
. In column A.2, as described below. However, do not mark a
range and also enter a specific estimate In A.2.
5.A.2 Enter Estimate
For releases to any medium that amount to 1,000 pounds or
more forthe year, you must provide an estimate in pounds per
year In column A.2. Any estimate provided In column A.2
should be reported to no more than two significant figures.
This estimate should be in whole numbers. Do not use decimal
points.
If you do not use the range reporting option, provide your
estimates of total annual releases (in pounds) in column A.2.
Calculating Releases - To provide the release information
required In columns A.1 and A.2 in this section, you must use
all readily available data (including relevant monitoring data
and emissions measurements) collected at your facility to
meet other regulatory requirements or as part of routine plant
operations, to the extent you have such data for the toxic
chemical.
When relevant monitoring data or emission measurements
are not readily available, reasonable estimates of the amounts
released must be made using published emission factors,
material balance calculations, or engineering calculations.
You may not use emission factors or calculations to estimate
releases if more accurate data are available.
No additional monitoring or measurement of the quanti-
fies or concentrations of any toxic chemical released into
the environment, or of the frequency of such releases, is
required forthe purpose of completing this form, beyond
that which Is required under other provisions of law or
regulation or as part of routine plant operations.
You must estimate, as accurately as possible, the quantity (In
pounds) of the chemical or chemical category that is released
annually to each environmental medium. Include only the
quantity of the toxic chemical contained in the wastestream in
this estimate. If the toxic chemical present at your facility was
part of a mixture or trade name product, calculate only the
releases of the chemical, not the other .components of the
mixture ortrade name product. If you are only able to estimate
the releases of the mixture ortrade name product as a whole,
you must assume that the release of the toxic chemical is
proportional to its concentration in the mixture ortrade name
product See section 372.30(b) of the reporting rule forfurth'er
information on how to calculate the concentration and weight
of the toxic chemical in the mixture or trade name product.
If you are reporting a chemical category listed in Table II of
these instructions, rather than a specific chemical, you must
combine the release data for all chemicals in the listed chemi-
cal category (e.g., all glycol ethers or all, chlorophenols) and
report the aggregate amount for that chemical category. Do
not report releases of each individual chemical in that category
separately. For example, if your facility releases 3,000 pounds
per year of 2-chloro'phenol, 4,000 pounds per year of 3-chlo-
rophenol, and 4,000 pounds per year of 4-chlorophenol, you
should report that your facility releases 11,000 pounds per
year of chlorophenols.
For listed chemicals with the qualifier "solution,* such as
ammonium nitrate, at concentrations of 1 percent (or 0.1
percent in the case of a carcinogen) or greater, the chemical
concentrations must be factored into threshold and release
calculations because threshold and release amounts relate to
the amount of chemical In solution, not the amount of solution.
For metal compound categories (e.g., chromium compounds),
report releases of only the parent metal. For example, a user
of various inorganic chromium salts would report the total
chromium released in each waste type regardless of the
chemical form (e.g., as the original salts, chromium ion, oxide)
and exclude any contribution to mass made by other species
in the molecule.
EXAMPLES: Calculating Releases
Your facility disposes of 14,000 pounds of lead chromate
(PbCrO4PbO) in an on-site landfill and transfers 16,000 pounds
of lead selenate (PbSeO4) to an off-site land disposal facility.
You would therefore be submitting three separate reports on
the following: lead compounds, selenium compounds, and
chromium compounds. However, the quantities you would be
reporting would be the pounds of "parent* metal being re-
leased ortransferred off-site. All quantities are based on mass
balance calculations (See Section 5.B for information on Basis
of Estimate and Section e.Cfortreatment/disposal codes and
information on transfers of chemical wastes). You would
calculate releases of lead, chromium, and selenium by first
determining the percentage by weight of these metals in the
materials you use as follows:
Lead Chromate (PbCrO4 PbO) -
Molecular weight =
546.37
-------
Page 25
Form R - Part
Lead 2Pb-
Motecular weight
Chromate 1 Cr -
Molecular weight
207.2x2 = 414.4
51.996
Lead chromate is therefore (% by weight)
(414.4/546.37) * 75.85% lead and (51.996/546.37) =
9.52% chromium
You can then calculate the total amount of the metals that you
must report, based on your knowledge that 14,000 pounds of
lead chromate contains:
14,000x0.7585 » 10,619 pounds of lead
14,000x0.0952 = 1,334 pounds of chromium
Similarly, lead selenate is (207.2/350.17) * 59.17% lead and
(78.96/350.17) = 22.55% selenium.
The total pounds of lead, chromium, and selenium released or
transferred from your facility are as follows:
Lead .
Release:
0.7585 x 14,000 = 10,619 pounds from lead chromate
(round to 11,000 pounds)
Transfer
0.5917 x 16,000 = 9,467 pounds from lead selenate
(round to 9,500 pounds)
(As an example, the releases and transfers of toad should be
reported as illustrated in Figure E on the page 26.)
Chromium
Release:
0.0952 x 14,000 > 1,333 pounds from lead chromate
(round to 1,300 pounds)
Selenium
Transfer
0.2255 x 16,000 - 3,608 pounds of selenium from lead
selenate (round to 3,600 pounds)
5.B Basis of Estimate
For each release estimate, you are required to indicate the
principal method used to determine the amount of release
reported. Youwillentera tettercode that identifies the method
that applies to the largest portion of the total estimated release
quantity.
For example, if 40 percent of stack emissions of the reported
substance were derived using monitoring data, 30 percent by
mass balance, and 30 percent by emission factors, you would
enter the code letter "M" for monitoring.
The codes are as follows:
M - Estimate is based on monitoring data or measurements
for the toxic chemical as released to the environment
and/or off-site facility.
C - Estimate is based on mass balance calculations, such
as calculation of the amount of the toxic chemical in
streams entering and leaving process equipment
E - Estimate is based on published emission factors, such
as those relating release quantity to through-put or
equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
O - Estimate is based on other approaches such as engi-
neering calculations (e.g., estimating volatilization using
published mathematical formulas) or best engineering
judgment. This would Include applying an estimated
removal efficiency to a waste stream, even if the com-
position of the stream before treatment was fully identi-
fied through monitoring data.
If the monitoring data, mass balance, or emission factor used
to estimate the release is not specific to the toxic chemical
being reported, the form should identify the estimate as based
on engineering calculations or best engineering judgment.
If a mass balance calculation yields the flow rate of a .waste-
stream, but the quantity of reported chemical in the waste-
stream is based on solubility data, report "O* because "engi-
neering calculations" were used as the basis of estimate of the
quantity of the chemical in the wastestream.

If the concentration of the chemical in the wastestream was
measured by monitoring equipment and the flow rate of the
wastestream was determined by mass balance, then the
primary basis of estimate is "monitoring" (M); Even though a
mass balance calculation also contributed to the estimate,
"Monitoring* should be indicated because monitoring data was
used to estimate the concentration of the waste stream.
Mass balance (C) should only be indicated if it is directly used
to calculate the mass (weight) of chemical released. Monitor-
Ing data should be indicated as the basis of estimate only if the
chemical concentration is measured in the wastestream being
released into the environment. Monitoring data should not be
indicated, for example, if the monitoring data relates to a
concentration of the toxic chemical jn other process streams
within the facility.
It is important to realize that the accuracy and proficiency of
release estimation will improve overtime. However, it is not
required that submitters use new emission factors or estima-
tion techniques to revise previous Form R submissions.
5.C Percent From Stormwater
This column relates only to Section 5.3 - Discharges to
receiving streams or water bodies. If yourf acility has monitor-
ing data on the amount of the chemical in Stormwater runoff
(including unchanneled runoff), you must include that quantity
of the chemical in your water release in column A and indicate
the percentage of the total quantity (by weight) of the chemical
contributed by Stormwater in column C (Section 5.3c).
If your facility has monitoring data on the chemical and an
estimate of flow rate, you must use this data to determine the
percent Stormwater.
If you have monitored Stormwater but did not detect the
chemical, enter zero (0) in column C. If your facility has no
Stormwater monitoring data for the chemical, enter not appli-
cable, NA, in this space on the form.
EXAMPLES: Release*from Stormwater
Bi-monthly Stormwater monitoring data shows that the aver-
age concentration of zinc in the Stormwater runoff from your
facility from a biocide containing a zinc compound is 1.4
milligrams per liter, and the total annual Stormwater discharge
from the facility is 7.527 million gallons. The total amount of
zinc discharged to surface waterthrough the plant wastewater
discharge (non-Stormwater) is 250 pounds per year, the total
amount of zinc discharged with Stormwater is:
(7,527,000 gallons Stormwater) x (3.785 liters/gallon)
= 28,489,695 liters Stormwater
(28,489,695 liters Stormwater) x (1.4 mg. zinc/liter)
= 39,885.6 grams zinfr
= 88 pounds zinc
The total amount of zinc discharged from all sources of your
facility is:
250 pounds zinc from wastewater discharge
+ 88 pounds zinc from Stormwater runoff
338 pounds zinc total water discharge
Round to 340 pounds of zinc for report.
The percentage of zinc discharged through Stormwater is:
88/338x100-26%
If your facility does not have periodic measurements of storm-
water releases of the chemical, but has submitted chemical-
specific monitoring data in permit applications, then these data
must be used to calculate the percent contribution from
Stormwater. Rates of flow can be estimated by multiplying the
annual amount of rainfall by the land area of the facility and
then multiplying that figure by the runoff coefficient. The runoff
coefficient represents the fraction of rainfall that does, not
infiltrate Into the ground but runs off as Stormwater. The runoff
coefficient is directly related to how the land in the drainage
area is used. (See table below.)

EXAMPLE 10: Stormwator Runoff
Your facility Is located in a semi-arid region of the United
Slates which has an annual precipitation (including snowfall)
of 12 inches of rain. (Snowfall should be converted to the
equivalent inches of rain; assume one foot of snow is equiva-
lent to one Inch of rain.) The area covered by yourfacility is 42
acres (about 170,000 square meters or 1.829,520 square
feet). The area of yourfacility is 50 percent unimproved area,
10 percent asphaltic streets, and 40 percent concrete pave-

6, Transfers of the Chemical in Waste to Off-Site
Locations
You must report In this section the total annual quantity of the
chemical sent to any of the off-site disposal, treatment, or
storage facilities for which you have provided an address in
Part II. You are not required to report quantities of the
chemical sent off-site for purposes of recycle or reuse. Report
the amount of the toxic chemical transferred off-site after any
on-site treatment or removal is completed. Report zero for
releases of listed mineral acids if they have been neutralized
to pH of 6 or above prior to discharge to a POTW. See the
discussion under Section 5.3, Discharges to Receiving Streams
or Water Bodies (see page 22).
On line 6.1.1., report the amount of the listed chemical trans- .
ferred to a POTW listed in Part II, Section 1. In the block
provided, enterthe numberfrom Part II, Section 1 correspond-
ing to the POTW to which the discharge is sent. For example,
if the discharge is sent to the location listed in Part II, Section
1.1, then enter "1" in the block provided (the first digit of this
section number has been preceded). If you transfer waste
containing the toxic chemical to more than one POTW, check
the box at the bottom of Section 6 and use the Part IV, the
Supplemental Information Sheet to report those transfers.
On lines' 6.2.1 through 6.2.3, report the amount of the chemical
transferred to other off-site locations corresponding to those
listed in Part II, Sections 2.1 through 2.6, including privately
owned wastewater treatment facilities. In the block provided,
enterthe numberfrom Part II, Section 2 corresponding to the
off-site location to which the transfer is sent. For example, if
the transfer is sent to the location listed in Part II, Section 2,3,
enter "3* in the block provided. (The first digit of this section
number has been preceded.) If you need additional space,
check the box at the bottom of Section 6 and use the
Supplemental Information Sheet (Part IV, Section 6) to report
those transfers.
6.A Total Transfers .
This column should be completed as described in the instruc-
tions for column A of Section 5 above. Enter the amount, in
pounds, of the toxic chemical that is being transferred, includ-
ing mixtures ortrade name products containing the chemical.
Do not enter the total poundage of wastes. See Section 5 for
information on reporting off-site transfers of less than 1 pound.
As in Section 5, if the total amount transferred is less than
1,000 pounds, you may report a range. Enter not applicable,
NA, in column A.2 if you have no off-site transfers of the listed
chemical.
6.B Basis of Estimate
You must identify the basis for your estimate. Enterthe letter
code that applies to the method by which the largest percent-
age of the estimate was derived. Use the same codes
identified in the instructions for column B of Section 5 (See

6.C Type of Treatment/Disposal
Enter one of the following codes to identify the type of
treatment or disposal method used by the off-site location for
the chemical being reported. You should use more than one
line for a single location when the toxic chemical is subject to
different disposal methods; the same location code may be
used more than once. You may have this information in your
copy of EPA Form SO, Item S of the Annual/Biennial Hazard-
ous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Report (RCRA).

7. Waste Treatment Methods and Efficiency
In Section 7, you must provide the following information
related to the chemical for which releases are being reported:
(A) the general wastestream types containing the chemical
being reported; (B) the waste treatment methods used on all
wastestreams containing the chemical; (C) the range of con-
centrations of the chemical in the influent to the treatment
method; (D) whether sequential treatment is used; (E) the
efficiency or effectiveness of each treatment method in re-
moving the chemical; and (F) whetherthe treatment efficiency
figure was based on actual operating data. Use a separate line
in Section 7 for each treatment method used on a waste-
stream.
In this section, report only information about treatment of
wastestreams at vour facility, not about off-site treatment. If
you do not perform on-site treatment of wastes containing the
chemical being reported, check the Not Applicable (MA) space
at the top of Section 7.
7.A General Wastestream
For each waste treatment method, indicate the type of waste-
stream containing the chemical that is treated. Enterthe letter
code that corresponds to the general wastestream type:
A = Gaseous (gases, vapors, airborne particulates)
W = Wastewater (aqueous waste)
L = Liquid waste (non-aqueous waste)
S * Solid waste (including sludges and slurries)
If a waste is a mixture of water and organic liquid, you must
report it as wastewater unless the organic content exceeds 50
percent. . Slurries and sludges containing water must be
reported as solid waste if they contain appreciable amounts of
dissolved solids, or solids that may settle, such that the
viscosity or density of the waste is considerably different from
that of process wastewater.
7.B Treatment Method
Enterthe appropriate code from one of the lists below foreach
on-site treatment method used on a wastestream containing
the toxic chemical, regardless of whether the treatment method
actually removes the specific chemical being reported. Treat-
ment methods must be reported for each type of waste being
treated (i.e., gaseous wastes, aqueous wastes, liquid non-
aqueous wastes, and solids). The treatment codes, except for
the air emission treatment codes, are not restricted to any
medium.
Wastestreams containing the chemical may have a single
source or may be aggregates of many sources. For example,
process waterf rom several pieces of equipment at your facility
may be combined prior to treatment. Report treatment meth-
ods that apply to the aggregate wastestream, as well as
treatment methods that apply to individual wastestreams. If
your facility treats various wastewater streams containing the
chemical in different ways, the different treatment methods
must each be listed separately.
If your facility has several pieces of equipment performing a
similar service, you may combine the reporting for such
equipment on a single line. It is not necessary to enter four
lines of data to cover four scrubber units, for example, if all four
are treating wastes of similar character (e.g., sulfuric acid mist
emissions), have similar influent concentrations, and have
similar removal efficiencies. If, however, any of these parame-
ters differ from one unit to the next, each scrubber must be
listed separately.

7.C Range of Influent Concentration
The form requires an indication of the range of concentration
of the toxic chemical in the wastestream (i.e., the influent) as
it typically enters the treatment equipment. Enter in the space
provided one of the following code numbers corresponding to
the concentration of the chemical in the influent:
1 3 Greater than 1 percent
2 3 100 parts per million (O.Ot percent) to
1 percent (10,000 parts per million)
3 = 1 part per million to 100 parts per million
4 = 1 part per billion to 1 part per million
5 = Less than 1 part per billion
[Note: Parts per million (ppm) is:
O milligrams/kilogram (mass/mass) for solids and liquids;
O cubic centimeters/cubic meter (volume/volume) for gases;
O milligrams/liter for solutions or dispersions of the chemical
in water; and
-------
Page 31
Form B- Part ffl
O milligrams of chemical/kilogram of air for participates in
air. If you have participate concentrations (at standard
temperature and pressure) as grains/cubic foot of air,
multiply by 1766.6 to convert to parts per million; if in mill!
grams/cubic meter, multiply by 0.773 to obtain parts per
million. Factors are for standard conditions of 0°C (32°F)
and 760 mmHg atmospheric pressure.]
7.D Sequential Treatment?
The sequential treatment boxes are to be checked when
individual treatment steps are used in a series to treat the toxic
chemical, and you have no data on the efficiency of each step,
however, you are able to estimate the overall efficiency of the
treatment sequence.
To report sequential treatment:
O List.the appropriate codes for the treatment steps in the
order that they occur (in column B) and then put an "X" in
the boxes in column D for ail these sequential treatment
steps.
O Enter the appropriate code for the influent concentration
(in column C) forthe first treatment step in the sequence.
Leave this item blank for the rest of the treatment steps in
the sequence.
O Provide the overall treatment efficiency (in column E) for
the entire sequence by entering that value in connection
with the last treatment step in the sequence only. Enter
NA in column E for the efficiency of all preceding steps in
the sequence.
O Mark yes or no in column F only in connection with the final
step in the sequence. Do not mark in this column for
proceeding steps in the sequence.
An example of how to use the sequential treatment option is
provided in Appendix C.
7.E Treatment Efficiency Estimate
In the space provided, enter the number indicating the per-
centage of the toxic chemical removed from the wastestream
through destruction, biological degradation, chemical con ver-
sion, or physical removal. The treatment efficiency (ex-
pressed as percent removal) represents the mass or weight
percentage of chemical destroyed or removed, not merely
changes in volume or concentration of the chemical in the
wastestream. The efficiency refers only to the percent de-
struction, degradation, conversion, or removal of the listed
toxto chemical from the wastestream, not the percent conver-
sion or removal of other wastestream constituents which may
occur together with the listed chemical. The efficiency also
does not refer to the general efficiency of the method for any
wastestream. For some treatments, the percent removal will
represent removal by several mechanisms, as in as aeration
basin, where a chemical may evaporate, be biodegraded, or
be physically removed from the sludge.
Percent removal must be calculated as follows:
fl-El x100
I
where I« mass of the chemical in the influent wastestream and
E » mass of the chemical in the effluent wastestream.
Calculate the mass or weight of chemical in the wastestream
being treated by multiplying the concentration (by weight) of
the chemical In the wastestream by the flow rate. In most
cases, the percent removal compares the treated effluent to
the influent for the particular type of wastestream. However,
for some treatment methods, such as incineration or solidifica-
tion of wastewater, the percent removal of the chemical from
the Influent wastestream would be reported as 100 percent
because the wastestream does not exist in a comparable form
after treatment. Some of the treatments (e.g., fuel blending
and evaporation) do not destroy, chemically convert, or physi-
cally- remove the chemical from its wastestream. For these
treatment methods, an efficiency of zero must be reported.
For metal compounds, the calculation of the reportable con-
centration and treatment efficiency is based on the weight of
the parent metal, not on the weight of the metal compounds.
Metals are not destroyed, only physically removed or chemi-
cally converted from one form into another. The treatment
efficiency reported represents only physical removal of the
parent metal from the wastestream, not the percent chemical
conversion of the metal compound. If a listed treatment
method converts but does not remove a metal (e.g., chromium
reduction), the method must be reported, but the treatment
efficiency must be reported as zero.
Listed toxic chemicals which are strong mineral acids which
- are neutralized to a pH of 6 or above are considered treated at
a 100 percent efficiency.
All data available at your facility must be utilized to calculate
treatment efficiency and influent chemical concentration. You
are not required to collect any new data forthe purposes of this
reporting requirement, if data are lacking, estimates must be
made using best engineering judgment or other methods.
7.F Basad on Operating Data?
This column requires you to indicate "Yes" or "No" to whether
the treatment efficiency estimate is based on actual operating
data. For example, you would check "Yes" if the estimate is
based on monitoring of influent and effluent wastes under
-------
Form R - Part III
Page 32
typical operating conditions. For sequential treatment, do not
Indicate "Yes" or "No" In column F for a treatment step unless
you have provided a treatment estimate In column E.
If the efficiency estimate is based on published data for similar
processes or on equipment supplier's literature, or if you
otherwise estimated either the influent or effluent waste
comparison or the flow rate, check "No."
EXAMPLE 11: Wast* Treatment Methods
One wastestream generated by your facility Is aquaous waste
containing lead chrornate, and lead selenate as discussed in
a previous example in these instructions. In this example, the
waste Is transferred to off-site facilities after on-sita wastewa-
tertreatment. The on-slte wastewatertreatment plant precipi-
tates metal sludges. The wastewater is first treated with
sulfurlc acid and sodium disulfate to reduce the hexavalent
chrornate to trivalent chromium and then treated with lime to
raise the pH. This precipitates chromium hydroxide, zinc
hydroxide, and lead hydroxide, but does not remove the
selenium. The selenium Is removed from the wastewater by
an lonte exchange system. The chromium, zinc, and lead
hydroxide sludge (solid) waste is transferred to an off-site land
disposal facility and the selenium-containing ion exchange
resin Is transferred to an off-site facility for metal recovery (off-
site recovery shouldfloibe reported). The treated wastewater
Is sent to a POTW after neutralization. You would indicate the
following treatment methods forthe on-site treatment of each
of the lead, zinc, chromium, and selenium compounds:
C21 - Chromium Reduction
C01 - Chemical Precipitation -•Lime or Sodium
Hydroxide
R22 - Metals Recovery - Ion Exchange
C11 - Neutralization
All sequential treatment steps must be Indicated for aj[ the
metal compound categories reported even if the treatment
method does not affect the particular metal. For example,
Ionic exchange must be reported as a treatment method for
lead, zinc, chromium, and selenium compounds, even though
the method affects only the selenium compound.
You would Indicate a discharge to a POTW In Part HlrSection
6.1.1 andthelocationofthePOTWinPartll,Section1.1. You
would also Indicate the release of the metal sludge to an off-
site land disposal facility in Part III, Section 6.2.1.
8. POLLUTION PREVENTION: OPTIONAL
INFORMATION ON WASTE MINIMIZATION
Information provided in Part \\\. Section 8. of Form R is
optional. In this section, you may identify waste minimization
efforts relating to the reported toxic chemical. Waste minimi-
zation reduces the amount of the toxic chemical in wastes by
reducing waste generation or by recycling. This can be
accomplished by equipment changes, process modifications,
product reformulation, chemical substitutions, or other tech-
niques. Waste minimization refers exclusively to practices
which prevent the generation of wastes. Treatment or dis-
posal does not minimize waste and should not be reported in
this section. Recycling or reuse of a toxic chemical is consid-
ered waste minimization. Waste minimization applies to air
emissions and wastewater, as well as to liquid or solid mate-
rials that are released, disposed of; or treated. For example,
a program to recycle material from reactor cleaning could
reduce the amount of a listed chemical In wastewater prior to
treatment. This reduction might not show up in annual reports
of releases to receiving streams (due to effective treatment,
for example) but would be captured in this section.
8.A Typo of Pollution Prevention Modification
Enter the one code from the following list that best describes
the type of waste minimization activity:
M1 Recycling/Reuse On-Site
(e.g., solvent recovery still; vapor recovery system;
reuse of materials in a process)
M2 Recycling/Reuse Off-Site
(e.g., commercial recyclen toll recycling; at an off-site
company-owned facility)
M3 Equipment/Technology Modifications
(e.g., change from solvent to mechanical stripping;
modify spray systems to reduce overspray losses;
install floating roofs to reduce tank emissions; install
float guards to prevent tank overflow)
M4 Process Procedure Modifications
(e.g., change production schedule to minimize equip-
ment and feedstock change-overs; improved control
of operating conditions; segregation of wastes to
permit recycling)
MS Reformulation/Redesign of Product
(e.g., change In product specifications; modify design
or composition; reduce or modify packaging)
M6 Substitution of Raw Materials
(e.g., change or eliminate additives; substitute water-
based for solvent-based coating materials, cleaners,
and pigments; increase purity of raw materials)
-------
Page 33
Form R - Part I))
M7 Improved Housekeeping, Training, Inventory Control
(e.g., alter maintenance frequency; institute leak de-
tection program; improved inventory control; institute
training program on waste minimization)
M8 Other Waste Minimization Technique
(e.g., elimination of process; discontinuation of product)
8.B Quantity of th« Chemical In the Wastestream Prior
to Treatment/Disposal
You may report the change in the amount of the toxic chemical
generated in either of two ways. You may provide the amount
of the toxic chemical .in waste produced in the reporting year.
and the previous year, or you may report only the percent
change. .
Enter the total pounds of the toxic chemical contained In all
wastes from the reporting facility (air emissions, water
discharges, solid wastes and off-site transfers) generated
during the reporting year. This quantity may be the sum of all
the release amounts reported on Form R if there is no on-site
treatment of the-toxic chemical. The quantity will often be
greater than the total reported release amounts because it
includes waste prior to treatment.
You should consider only the quantity of the toxic chemical in
the waste. Do not report the total mass of the waste (I.e., do
not include the weight of water, soil, or waste constituents
which are not reportable on Form R).
' f~: ,
Similarly, report total pounds of the toxic chemical contained
in all wastes generated for the year prior to the reporting year.
Alternatively, to protect confidential information, you may wish
to enter only the percentage by which the weight of the toxic
chemical in the wastes has changed. • This figure may be
calculated using the following formula:
X100
where:
VV
weight of toxic chemical in total wastes for the
current reporting year
weight of toxic chemical in total wastes for the
prior year
Note that the resulting figure will very often be negative
(indicating that the total amount of waste generated has been
reduced in the current year). Be sure to check-off the
appropriate sign for the value where indicated on Form R.
8.C Waste Minimization Index
Enterthe ratio of reporting-year production to the prior report-
ing-year production. This index should be calculated to most
closely reflect activities involving trie chemical. To determine
the index, divide the production amount, which was chosen as
a measure of the current reporting year's production level, by
the prior year's production amount.
The index provides a means for users of the data to distinguish
effects due to changes in business activity from the effects
specifically due to waste minimization efforts, it is not neces-
sary to indicate the units on which the index is based. The
index should not be based on the dollar value of sales. Ex-
amples of acceptable indices include:
O Amount of chemical produced in 1990/amount of chemi-
cal produced in 1989. For example, a company manufac-
tures 200,000 pounds of a chemical in 1989 and 250,000
pounds of the same chemical in 1990. The index figure to
report would be 1.3 (1.25 rounded to two significant
digits).
O Amount of paint produced in 1990/amount of paint pro-
duced in 1989.
O Number of appliances coated in 1990/number of appli-
ances coated in 1989.
O Square feet of solar collector fabricated in 1990/square
feet of solar collector fabricated in 1989.
8.D Reason for Action
Finally, enter the most appropriate code from the following list
that best describes the primary reason for initiating the waste
minimization effort:
R1 Regulatory Requirement for the Waste
R2 Reduction of Treatment/Disposal Costs
R3 Other Process Cost Reduction
R4 Discontinuation of Product
R5 Other (e.g., occupational safety concerns, etc.).
These responses are intended to be mutually exclusive. If for
example your facility developed a program for reducing waste
without some government impetus and the primary reason
was to reduce costs then it would be most appropriate to
choose code R3 or R4. Choosing R5 "Other" should be used
only in those cases where R1 - R4 do not apply. If you care to
elaborate on these other reasons please feel free to attach an
explanation to the form.

EXAMPLE 12: WASTE MINIMIZATION (POLLUTION
PREVENTION)
A facility stores toluene In a large tank, and continuously uses
it as a raw material In a chemical process throughout the
reporting year. Priorto the current reporting year, annual air
emissions of toluene were 100,000 pounds from the tank, and
another 100,000 pounds from process emissions. In addition,
150,000 pounds of sludges are created from the process and
from storage tanks. The sludge contains a total of 25,000
pounds of toluene which was burned in an on-site incinerator.
The Form R filed by the facility for the prior year indicated
200,000 pounds of toluene air emissions. The toluene con-
tained In the sludge was Identified as treated on-site, although
the pre-treated amount of the toluene was not indicated on the
Form R, since this Information is not required under section
313.
At the beginning of the current reporting year, the facility
installed a floating roof in its storage tank. This change
reduced fugitive emissions from the tank 90 percent, from
100,000 pounds per year to 10,000 pounds. Process emis-
sions and sludge generation remained the same.
Based on this Information, Part III, Section 8 of Form R would
be completed as follows: .
A. Type of Modification
M3: Equipment/Technology Modification.
B. Quantity of the Chemical in the Wastestream Priorto

(pounds)
Note that only the weight of the toluene in the sludge (25,000
pounds) and not the full weight of the sludge (150,000 pounds)
Is Included In the calculation.
The facility would record 135,000 pounds as the current
reporting year waste generation (Wc), and 225,000 pounds as
the prior year's waste generation (Wp).
Alternatively, the facility may opt to report only the percent
change as follows:
(We-Wp)
W.
•40%
X100;
135,000-225,000
225,000
X100
Even though the floating roof achieved a 90% reduction of
toluene emissions from the tank, the overall facility-wide
change in toluene waste generation is negative 40% - this is
the figure that should be reported in the "or percent change"
part of Section 8 of Form R.
Increases In waste generation, created by production in-
creases that were greater than the impact of waste minimiza-
tion, would be reported as a positive percentage change.
C. Index
Usage of toluene at this facility remained the same for both
years, resulting in an index of 1.0. If usage had been reduced
by half, the index would have been 0.5.
D. Reason for Action
The facility identified code R3, Other Process Cost Reduction,
as the major reason for the waste minimization action.

APPENDIX C
EXAMPLE OF HOW A HYPOTHETICAL FACILITY PREPARED
.SECTION 313 REPORTING FORM R
The following Is a hypothetical example of how one manufac-
turer might complete the toxic chemical release inventory
reporting Form FL The facility information is purely fictitious
and does not represent any known manufacturing facility. The
example begins with descriptions of the facility (a lead-add
storage battery manufacturer) and of the production process
at the facility. The completion of each section of Form R is
explained and a copy of Form R, as it would be completed by
this facility, follows.
Facility Description
The company manufactures lead-acid batteries at a plant in
New Mexico. The company also operates a lead smelter that
produces lead ingots at another location In New Mexico and
ships them to the battery plant. Lead scrap from the battery
plant fe returned to the smelter for recovery and reuse.
The SIC code of the battery plant Is 3691 (storage batteries);
the SIC code for the smelter is 3341 (secondary smelting and
refining of non-ferrous metals). A lead oxide production plant
located adjacent to the battery plant, on the same property,
also falls under SIC code 3691.
The lead oxide plant and the battery plant are considered, for
the purposes of section 313 reporting requirements, to be a
single facility. The facility Is required to submit a completed
Form R for each reported chemical or chemical category.
Because activities at the facility involve both metallic lead and
lead compounds (e.g., lead oxide), you may file a single
reporting form for metallic lead (CAS number 7439-92-1) and
a single form for lead compounds manufactured, processed,
or otherwise used at your facility. Alternatively, and prefera-
bly, you may file one reporting form for all lead con-pounds (a
single listed category under section 313) present at your
facility, Including metallic lead. In this example, metallic lead
and all lead compounds are reported on a single reporting
form. ,
Lead-add batteries are produced using lead, sulfuric acid,
additives such as antimony, and various other raw materials.
Your facility's battery production capacity is 5,000 batteries
per day, and the facility normally operates 24 hours per day,
300 days per year.
It sulfuric acid was manufactured, processed, or otherwise
used at the battery plant in amounts that exceed the applicable
thresholds, you would be required to report releases of sulfuric
add separately. Similarly, releases of lead and lead com-
pounds from the remotely located lead smelter must be
reported separately, if manufactured, processed, or otherwise
used in amounts that exceed the thresholds.
Process Description
A lead-acid battery consists of electrolytic cells, each contain-
ing an anode of porous lead, a cathode of primarily lead
peroxide (PbO2), and electrodes of metallic lead. The anode
and cathode are separated by non-conducting material (e.g.,
plastic) and surrounded by an electrolytic (conductive) solu-
tion of sulfuric acid and water.
The first steps in the battery manufacturing process are grid
casting and lead oxide (PbO) production. Lead ingots are
melted and reformed into the grids which are trimmed. Lead
fumes from the lead melting and grid casting process are
exhausted to the atmosphere without emission controls. No
wastewater is produced.
The cast grids are made into battery anode and cathode plates
by the application of a lead oxide paste of 70 percent lead
oxide (PbO) and 30 percent metallic lead. Lead ingots are
tumbled in a ball mill with air producing lead oxide and fine lead
dust (referred to as "leady oxide"). Leady oxide particulates
are entrained in the mill exhaust air, which is treated sequen-
tially by a cyclone separator and fabric filter. The used fabric
filter bags are shipped to a RCRA-permitted commercially
operated hazardous waste landfill located in Colorado. The
leady oxide production process does not produce wastewater.
The leady oxide is mixed with metallic lead, water, sulfuric
acid, and additives in a paste mixer to form lead oxide paste.
Lead and lead oxide dust are emitted from the mixer during
charging of the dry materials and during wet mixing. The mixer
is vented to a fabric filter during charging and to a wet scrubber
during wet mixing. The fabric filter and wet scrubber both vent
to the same stack. Wastewater produced from the wet scrub-
ber blowdown is treated on-site. Solids collected in a scrubber
sump are returned to the off-she smelter for recovery and
reuse. Solids collected in an evaporation pond are not
recovered. Mixing equipment washdown water is treated in a
multi-stage settler and entirely reused in the paste mixing
process. Sludge collected in the settler is recycled.
Small amounts of particulates are released to the atmosphere
during paste application. These emissions are not ducted to
a stack or controlled.
-------
PageC-2
The plates are dried and cured under controlled temperature
and humidity conditions producing no wastewater or partfcu-
late emissions. Cured plates are sent to a three-process
operation that involves manual separation of the plates, stack-
ing them with non-conducting separators, and the welding on
of metallic lead battery leads (pronounced "teeds") and lead
terminals. The plates are then assembled into battery cases.
Paniculate emissions of battery paste result from the manual
separation, stacking, and handling of the battery plates. Lead
fumes are emitted from the burning process. Exhaust gases
from the three-process operation are treated by a fabric filter,
and the collected particulates are returned to the smelter for
recovery and reuse. The three-process operation produces
no lead-containing wastewater, since only non-contact cooling
water is used in the burning process. (Note: Even though lead
is contained in the cooling water used by the facility (in the form
of dissolved and suspended solids), you are not required to
report releases of lead discharged with the cooling water
because the lead is naturally occurring in the intake water and
not added during the battery production process.]
Sulfuric acid is added to the assembled batteries and the
plates are formed within the batteries by applying electric
voltage. The formation process oxidizes the lead oxide in the
positive plates to lead peroxide and reduces the lead oxide in
the negative plates to metallic lead. The charging process
produces an acid mist that contains small amounts of lead
paniculate, which is released without emission controls.
Acid used in the formation process is removed from the
batteries and reused. The batteries are washed, fresh acid is
added, and the batteries are tested, re-washed, and inspected
before, being shipped to an on-site warehouse. The interme-
diate and final washes generate process wastewater, as do
the battery repair and housekeeping (floor washing) opera-
tions. This wastewater is pretreated on-site and then piped to
the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
Determining Reporting Requirements Under
Section 313
To determine whether you are required to report under section
313, you must ascertain whetherthe total quantity of any listed
chemical or chemical compound manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used at your facility over the course of the calendar
year exceeds any applicable threshold. For the facility de-
scribed above, determination of reporting requirement would
proceed as follows. [Note: In determining eligibility, you will
generate information you need to complete several portions of
the form.]
Both lead (CAS number 7439-92-1) and lead compounds (a
chemical category) are listed substances subject to reporting
under section 313. You have decided that If any of the
applicable thresholds are exceeded, you will report releases of
both lead and lead compounds on the same reporting form
under the listed chemical category lead compounds.* lead
compounds" should be entered in Part III, Section 1.3, of the
form. The CAS number for lead should not be entered,
because that would imply that you are reporting only for lead.
You should enter not applicable, NA, in the CAS number
space.
According to the process description, the following activities
take place at your facility involving lead and lead compounds:
O Your facility manufactures (produces) lead oxide (PbO)
for on-site use/processing, which occurs in the production
of lead oxide from metallic lead.
O Your facility processes metallic lead (Pb) as a reactant
during lead oxide production.
O Your facility also processes metallic lead as an article
component. This activity occurs at several points in the
process, including during the addition of lead to the
battery paste and the welding of metallic lead terminals
and leads in the three-process operation.
O Your facility processes lead oxide as a reactant'in the
formation process, where the lead oxide in the positive
battery plates is oxidized to lead peroxide.
O Your facility manufactures (produces) lead peroxide. This
. activity also occurs in the formation process, where lead
oxide is oxidized to lead peroxide.
You must indicate all of the activities involving lead and lead
compounds on Part III, Section 3, of the reporting form. (The
attached completed form shows how information.for this
facility has been entered.)
Determining Reporting Eligibility. The manufacturing thresh-
old quantity for the 1990 reporting year is 25,000 pounds; the
threshold for processing is also 25,000 pounds. Your facility
engages in both manufacturing and process activities Fn its
production of 1,500,000 batteries per year. Each battery con-
tains 25 pounds of lead, half of which is in the form of metallic
lead (anode) and half in the form of lead peroxide (cathode).
The total amount of lead compounds manufactured during the
reporting year is the 18,750,000 pounds of lead peroxide,
which exceeds the threshold for manufacturing. Similarly, the
amounts of lead processed as an article component (18,750,000
pounds) and of lead compounds processed (18,750,000 pounds)
each exceed the threshold for processing. [Note: These
amounts are not combined before being compared to the
processing threshold, because both lead and lead compounds
are separately listed chemicals.] For sequential processes,
use the amount of the final process material to determine
whether the threshold is exceeded.
-------
Page C-3
Since your facility employs more than 10 people and falls
within SIC codes 20-39, yourfacility must report under section
313. [Note: Once any of the applicable thresholds for lead
compounds are exceeded, you are required to identify all
manufacturing, processing, and otherwise use activities. You
must report ail releases of all lead compounds present at your
facility, regardless of the activity from which they originate
unless there Es a specifically exempted use, such as the use of
an article or use of intake water naturally containing lead.]
Calculating th« Maximum Quantity of Lead and Load
Compounds. To calculate the maximum amount of lead and
lead compounds present at your facility at any one time, you
must consider a]l types of metallic lead and aJi types of lead
compounds present at your facility, including stockpiled raw
materials, lead and lead oxide present In process equipment,
the metallic lead and lead peroxide contained in finished
batteries stored on-site. and stockpiled lead scrap. Since the
reporting form Is being prepared for lead compounds, the
maximum amount reported is the total of the inventories of
these materials. The maximum amount of metallic lead
(2,305,000 pounds), lead oxide (205,000 pounds), and lead
peroxide (625,000 pounds) present at yourfacility Is 3,135,000
pounds, which is between 1,000,000 and 9,999,999 pounds.
You would therefore report range 06 on Part III, Section 4, of
the reporting form.
Calculation of Releases of Lead
Retoaso* to Air. In April 1990, you conducted stack tests to
determine air releases from the battery facility. The release
data provided baseline data for a proposed 1991 air emission
reduction program. The tests were performed using EPA
Reference Method 12, which determines exhaust concentra-
tions as total elemental lead, and EPA Reference Methods 1 -
4, which determine total exhaust volumes. Releases from all
stacks and vents atthe facility were measured, Including those
from the following release points:
O Grid casting furnace and casting machine;
O Lead oxide mill fabric filter exhaust;
O Paste mixer wet scrubber exhaust;
O Paste mixer fabric filter exhaust; and
O Three process fabric filter exhaust
Non-point (fugitive) air releases of lead, such as from the
battery formation, grid paste application, and fabric filter dust
handling areas were not measured as part of the stack testing
program but have been estimated by the facility's engineering
department to be less than 100 pounds per year. Measure-
ments of the Inlet lead concentrations to the wet scrubber or
fabric filters were not performed. The process conditions
(e.g., temperature, exhaust rate) of the grid casting furnace
were changed significantly In June 1990 in response to the
stack tesr results. Current lead releases are estimated by the
engineering department to be 75 percent of those measured
during the stack test.
The total releases to air from the facility must be entered in
Part III, Section 5 of Form R in pounds peryear. The stack test
results provide the concentration of metallic lead in each
exhaust stream in grains per cubic foot and the exhaust rate in
cubic feet per minute. Using the appropriate conversion
factors, knowing the scrubber efficiency (from the manufac-
turer's data), and assuming yourfacility operates 24 hours per
day, 300 days per year, you can calculate the total lead
releases from the stack test data. Because point (stack)
releases of lead are 2,400 pounds per year, which is greater
than the 999 pounds per year ranges in column A.1, you must
enter the actual calculated amount in column A.2 of Section
5.2.
Non-point (fugitive) air releases are 100 pounds per year
(which is less than 999 pounds per year), so you may either
enter the actual calculated amount in column A.2, or enter the
appropriate range (11-499 pounds per year) in column A.1.
The basis for the estimate of fugitive emissions, entered in
column B of Section 5, is engineering calculations (code O).
The basis for the estimate of stack emissions, entered in
column B of Section 5, is monitoring data (code M). Although
engineering calculations were used to estimate releases from
the grid casting process, actual emissions test data were used
to calculate more than 50 percent of the total stack emissions,
so code M is appropriate.
Releases to Water. The only release of lead to a receiving
stream or water body comes from stormwater. Lead ingots
shipped from the off-site smelter are stored on a concrete pad
in an open area at your facility. Lead dust is entrained in the
stormwater runoff from the ingot storage area. You have
monitoring data concerning the concentration of lead in storm-
water releases from the facility property. Therefore, using
precipitation volumes and run-off coefficients appropriate to
the site, you are able to estimate that the releases of lead
compounds to the nearby stream total 6.2 pounds per year.
Since the total quantity of lead released is less than 999
pounds per year, you may enter the actual amount calculated
in column A.2 of Section 5.3.1 a, or mark the applicable range
(1-10 pounds per year) in column A.1, as is shown in the
sample. Your facility has no process discharges to surface
waters except stormwater. You must therefore report in Part
III, Section 5.3.1c, that 100 percent of the lead released from
yourfacility to surface water is from stormwater. The basis for
the estimate of stormwater emissions, entered in column B of
Section 5.3.1, is monitoring data (code M). The letter for the
receiving stream or water body you designated in Part I,
Section 3.10 must be entered to the box.

Wastewaterfrom the grid paste application process is entirely
recycled within the process after treatment in a multi-stage
settler. Wastewaterfrom the grid paste mixer wet scrubber is
piped to an on-site surface impoundment and evaporated
after treatment by a single-stage separator (settling tank) and
pH adjustment for chemical precipitation. Wastewater from
other process areas is treated in the wastewater pretreatment
system and piped to the POTW. The following sections on
Release* to Land and Discharge to POTW illustrate report-
ing of these wastes.
Release* to Underground Injection. Your facility performs
no underground injection and therefore has no Underground
Injection Well Code identification number. Not applicable, NA,
should be entered in Part I, Section 3.11 and in column A.2 of
Part III, Section 5.4.
Release* to Land. Wastewater from the grid paste mixing
scrubber is discharged to a surface impoundment and evapo-
rated. Although your facility historically has removed lead
sludge from the surface impoundment each year, this has not
been done for the past two years, as process changes have
caused the sludge to accumulate more slowly than in previous
years. Therefore, the impoundment must be considered an
on-site land disposal unit, and releases to the impoundment
must be reported in Part III, Section 5.5.1, of the form, and not
in Part III, Section 5.3.
The facility wastewater monitoring program does not deter-
mine the concentration of lead and lead compounds in the
scrubber discharge water, and releases to the surface im-
poundment (releases to land) must be calculated using mate-
rial balance information. These releases to land are deter-
mined from the amount of lead removed by the scrubber
(using the efficiency data provided by the scrubber manufac-
turer). The volume of the scrubber blowdown is found to be
1,500 pounds per year. Enter the estimate of the amount of
lead and lead compounds released to surface impoundments
in the space provided in Part III, Section 5.5.3 of the form.
Because releases of lead to the surface impoundment are
.greater than 999 pounds per year, you must enter the actual
calculated amount in column A.2 of Section 5.5.1. The basis
for the estimate of releases to the surface impoundment,
entered in column B of Section 5, is mass balance calculations
(codeC).
Calculation of Lead Transfers to Off-Site Locations
Discharge to POTW. Wastewater from battery wash and
battery repair operations at the plant Is discharged to the local
POTW. The discharge monitoring data collected by the plant
provide the concentration of metallic lead in each wastewater
stream discharged to the POTW in milligrams/liter and the flow
rate in liters per minute. Your facility also monitors the inlet
concentration to the on-site wastewater treatment system to
determine the treatment system efficiency. You are required
to report releases or release ranges in pounds per year.
Assuming your facility operates 24 hours a day, 300 days a
year, using appropriate conversion factors and the monitoring
data (i.e., lead concentrations and wastewater volumes), the
release is calculated to be 11 pounds per year. The total
releases to the POTW from the facility must be entered in Part
III, Section 6.1, of the form. Because the releases of lead are
less than 999 pounds per year, you may mark the appropriate
range in column A.1 or enter the actual calculated amount in
column A.2 of Section 6.1.1. You must report information
concerning the multi-stage settler, single-stage settler, and pH
adjustment (chemical precipitation) on Part III, Section 7, of
the form, as these systems constitute wastewater treatment
systems. You must also enter the name of the POTW in Part
II, Section 1.1.
Transfer* to Other Off-Site Location*. Your facility returns
the lead paniculate collected by the fabric filters to the off-site
smeiterfor recovery and reuse. You are not required to report
releases of listed substances to off-site recovery facilities;
therefore, no information concerning the off-site smelter should
be entered in Part III, Section 6 of Form R.
Your facility discharges used fabric filter bags contaminated
with lead paniculate to a commercial RCRA landfill located in
Colorado. The RCRA I.D. number for the off-site facility is
COD554698764. The plant engineering department esti-
mates that the annual shipment of fabric filter bags contain
less than 500 pounds of lead. You may, therefore, report the
release as a range in column A.1 of Section 6.2.1. The basis
for the estimate of solid waste emissions, entered in column B
of Section 6.2.1, is engineering calculations (code O), and the
location and RCRA I.O. number of the commercial landfill is
entered in Part II, Section 2.1, of the reporting form.
Estimation of Treatment System Efficiencies and
Influent Concentrations
Information on the types of treatment systems and their
treatment efficiencies is required to be entered in Part III,
Section 7, of the reporting form. For air emission treatment
systems, use code A; for wastewater treatment systems use,
code W; and for solid waste treatment systems, use code S in
column 1 of Section 7. Appendix B of the instructions for Form
R provides treatment codes to be entered in column B of
Section 7.
Air Treatment System*. Fabric filters and cyclone collectors
are considered to be mechanical separation systems; the
treatment code for these systems is A06. The treatment code
for wet scrubbers is A03. Information on each air treatment
system must be entered individually in Section 7. The cyclone
collector and fabric filter on the lead oxide mill exhaust are
sequential treatment systems, because they treat the same
-------
Page C-5
wastestream In sequence. Therefore, sequential treatment
must be Indicated for both systems in column D of Section 7.
You are required to Indicate the Influent concentration only to
the first step of the sequential treatment system (the cyclone
collector) and must report the overall treatment efficiency of
the system on the line for the last treatment step (the fabric
filter). Note that the wet scrubber and fabric filter on the grid
paste mixer exhaust are not sequential treatment steps,
because each treats a different wastestream generated at
different times during the same process.
In Section 7, columns C and E you must indicate the range of
Influent concentration and treatment efficiency, respectively,
for each treatment system listed. The facility must estimate
the efficiency and Influent concentration of each air emission
treatment system, as the stack test program did not determine
Influent concentrations. The facility has manufacturers' data
on the efficiency of each treatment system and should use this
Information along with effluent concentration data to estimate
the Influent concentrations. The efficiency estimates for air
treatment systems are not based on operating data; this must
be Indicated In column F of Section 7.
Wastewatar Treatment Systems. The POTW discharge
monitoring system provides actual operating data concerning
the removal efficiencies and Influent and effluent concentra-
tions of all wastewater treatment systems at your facility,
except the single-stage settler. The pH adjustment (chemical
precipitation) and filtration steps used in the wastswater pre-
treatment system are considered to be sequential treatment
steps, as are the single-stage settler, pH adjustment, and
evaporation (the surface impoundment) used to treat the grid
paste application discharge. The treatment code for chemical
precipitation (lime or sodium hydroxide) is C01, and the code
for filtration Is P12.
The code for treatment of grid paste application washwater in
the multi-stage settler is P11 (settling/clarification), and the
code for process reuse of the wastewater is R99 (other
recovery/reuse). The code for evaporation of wastewater In
the surface Impoundment is P99 (other physical treatment).
The overall treatment efficiencies forthe grid paste application
discharge and scrubber discharge are both 100 percent,
because the wastewater streams are completely eliminated
through evaporation and reuse respectively. Note that you do
not report the precipitation of lead In the surface impoundment
as "metals recovery," because you no longer remove the lead
sludge from the Impoundment for reuse. This will be consid-
ered disposal to land for the 1,500 pounds of lead that were
sent to the surface impoundment
Information on Wast* Minimization. The facility formerly
shipped the lead-containing sludge from the multi-stage set-
tlar used to treat the grid paste application wastewater to an
off-site disposal facility. In 1990, however, process modifica-
tions allowed the sludge to be returned to the off-site smelter
operated by the company for recovery and reuse, resulting in
significant cost-savings. The most significant saving is in the
cost of treating the sludge; the value of the recovered toad
represents a less significant saving. The amount of lead
formerly disposed of at the off-site facility is approximately 100
pounds per year; the same amount is now recovered by the
smelter. The code forthe type of modification is M2 (recovery
off-site) and that for the reason for action is R2 (reduction in
treatment/disposal cost). The index value of 1.0 is based on
the fact that production of batteries was approximately the
same in both years.

APPENDIX D
MOST COMMON ERRORS FOUND ON PREVIOUSLY
. SUBMITTED FORM R REPORTS
The most commonly made errors In complying with section 313 and filling outthe Form R occur in three areas: Form R entry errors,
threshold determination errors, and release estimation errors. These errors may prevent the entering of information from Form
Rs Into the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database, or may result in overly large or small release estimates or omission of
reportable releases of toxic chemicals. If a mistake is made on the Form R such that it is unable to be entered into the TRI
database, the facility owner/operator will be issued a Notice of Noncompliance by EPA. The notice will indicate that the Form
R cannot be Input Into the TRI database and that changes must be made by a certain date and submitted to EPA or further
enforcement actions will be taken.
For data entry errors, including missing pieces of information or suspect data (e.g. missing certification signature, non-numeric
SIC codes), the facility owner/operator will be issued a Notice of Technical Error by EPA. This notice will explain EPA's questions
and will require that the corrections be returned to EPA by a certain date.
If EPA determines that a Form R should have been submitted or that it is likely a threshold determination was incorrectly
calculated (e.g., by examining Form Rs submitted by otherf acilities in the same industry) then EPA will take an enforcement action
against the facility, which may involve an inspection and the subsequent assessment of fines.
Discussed below are commonly made errors made by facility owners and operators when completing Form Rs and the
corresponding notices and enforcement actions that may result from these errors.
Form R Completion Errors
O Invalid chemical Identification on page three. The
CAS number and the chemical name reported on page
three must exactly match the listed section 313 CAS
number and chemical name. CAS numbers are chemical-
specific and, therefore, chemical categories should not be
reported with a CAS number. A generic chemical name
should only be provided if you are claiming the section 313
chemical identity as a trade secret. Chemical names and
CAS numbers should be taken'directly from the section
313 toxic chemical list. Mixture names are to be entered
In Part III Section 1.4 if that is the sole identification.
Mixture names that Include the name or CAS number of
one or more section 313 chemicai(s) are not valid. Failure
to correctly enter the chemical identification information
will result In a Notice of Technical Error.
O Missing certification signature. An original certification
•signature must appear on page one of every Form R
submitted to EPA. Failure to provide an original certifica-
tion signature will result in a Notice of Technical Error.
O Incomplete forms. A complete Form R report for any
toxic chemical or chemical category consists of at least
five pages-stapled together. Page one and two may be
photocopied to complete each report only if all the infor-
mation on pages one and two is the same, and an original
certification signature is provided on each page one.
Sending In a package which contains only one page one,
one page two, but several page three's, four's and five's
will result In a Notice of Noncompliance. >
O Maximum amount on-slte left blank. In a surprising
number of Form R submissions, Part III Section 4 on page
three is left blank. Leaving this section blank will result in
a Notice of Technical Error.
O Missing or Incorrect reporting year. The reporting year
is the calendar year during which the reported data were
collected: it is not the year in which the Form R Is sent to
EPA. Form R's are due to EPA on July 1, 1991 for
chemicals manufactured, processed, or otherwise used
during reporting year 1990. A Form R cannot contain data
for more than one year. "1989/1990" is not correct. Part
I Section 1.3 must not be left blank; this error will result in
a Notice of Noncompliance.
O "Questionable" entries, such as:
- Missing or incorrect ZIP codes;
- Missing county names;
- Non-numeric SIC codes;
- Non-numeric or invalid Oun and Bradstreet
numbers; ,
'- Incomplete off-site and POTW information (e.g.,
missing ZIP codes) .
- Amounts reported in units other than pounds (e.g.,
metric) or use of exponential numbers.
Incorrect entries such as these may result in a Notice
of Technical Error.
-------
Page D-2
O Incorrect latKudaand longitude coordinates. Latitude
and longitude coordinates are important data on the Form
R. These coordinates must be determined using the
correct map and correct measuring techniques and re-
ported in degress, minutes, and seconds. For additional
guidance, see Appendix F of the Reporting Form R and
Instructions document. Missing, suspect, or incorrect
latitude or longitude coordinates will result in a Notice of
Technical Error.
O Incorrect completion of trade secret information. The
response to trade secret questions on Part I and Part III
of a Form R must be consistent. If trade secrecy is
indicated, a sanitized Form R and two trade secret sub-
stantiations must be submitted in the same package as
the trade secret Form R. Failure to provide complete
trade secret submissions will result in a Notice of Non-
compliance.
O Revisions not Identified. Revisions to previously sub-
mitted data may be provided to EPA by making correc-
tions in red ink on a copy of the Form R originally
submitted; marking the copy with the words "VOLUN-
TARY REVISION" in the space marked "THIS SPACE
FOR YOUR OPTIONAL USE" on page one; providing an
original signature; and sending it to the Title III Reporting
Center. You must also send a copy of the revision to the •
State organization. Failure to clearly identify a revision
may result in EPA entering it into the database as a new
submission resulting in the appearance of increased
emissions from the facility. Revisions to data submitted
using magnetic media must be made on hardcopy Form
Rs and should be submitted with a cover letter explaining
that the original data was submitted on magnetic media.
O Duplicate submissions not identified. Facilities some-
times send multiple copies of the same Form R to insure
that EPA received a copy. Duplicate submissions must
be identified by printing the word "DUPLICATE" in red ink
on page one in the box marked THIS SPACE FOR YOUR
OPTIONAL USE." Failure to clearly identify a duplicate
report may result in the duplicate appearance of the data
in the database and the appearance of increased emis-
sions from the facility.
Q Failure to report wast* treatment Waste treatment
methods used to treat waste streams containing toxic
chemicals, and the efficiencies of these methods, must be
reported on Form R. Information must be entered for all
waste streams, even if the treatment does not affect the
toxic chemical. If no waste treatment is performed on the
toxic chemical, the box marked "Not Applicable" in Part III
section 7 must be checked on the Form R. Failure to do
so may result in a Notice of Noncompliance.
O Incorrect reporting of waste treatment methods. The
waste treatment methods are each assigned a specific
code to be used when entering information onto Form R.
For example, the neutralization of an acidic waste stream
must be reported as "C11 "for neutralization and not "C99"
for other chemical treatment. Incorrect identification of
the waste treatment method may result in a Notice of
Noncompliance.
O Incorrect reporting of releases to water. Releases to
water occur as releases to an on-site receiving stream or
water body. The amount of toxic chemical released must
be entered in Part III section 5.3, the name of the receiving
stream or water body must be entered in Part I section
3.10, and any applicable NPDES permit numbers held by
the facility for this or any other discharges must be
entered in Part I section 3.9. A release to water must not
be entered .in Part III section 6 as a transfer off-site.
Failure to report correctly a release to water will result in
a Notice of Technical Error.
O Reporting for delisted chemicals. Form R reports for
delisted chemicals are not required. Such a submission
is a waste of a facility's time and effort.
O Documentation. Any information used to complete the
Form R must be clearly documented in facility records ahd
be available forviewing by EPA upon request. Failure to
provide proper documentation if requested by EPA may
result in an enforcement action. This documentation
should not be submitted with the Form R, but must be
maintained by the submitting facility with the related Form
R records.
Threshold Determination Errors
O Chemical activity overlooked. Many facilities believe
that because the section 313 reporting requirement pertains
only to manufacturing facilities only the use of toxic
chemicals in manufacturing processes must be examined.
Any activity involving the manufacture, process, or
otherwise use of a listed toxic chemical must be included
in a threshold determination. For example, waste treatment
operations otherwise use toxic chemicals to treat waste
streams and may coincidentally manufacture another
listed toxic chemical as a result of the treatment reaction.
Failure to correctly .identify all uses of toxic chemicals at
your facility may result in the omission of a required Form
R and may lead to an enforcement action.
-------
Page D-3
O Mlsclasslfieation of a chemical activity. Failure to
correctly classify a chemical activity may result in an
Incorrect threshold determination. As a result, a Form R
may not be submitted when one is required. "Manufacture"
means to produce, prepare, compound, or import a listed
toxic chemical. "Process" means the preparation of a
listed toxic chemical after its manufacture, which incorporates
the toxic chemical into the final product, for distribution in
commerce. "Otherwise use" encompasses any use of a
listed toxic chemical that does not fall under the terms
"manufacture' or "process." For example, solvents in
paint used to paint a, manufactured product are often
mlsclass'rfied as processed, instead of otherwise used.
Because the solvents are not intentionally incorporated
Into the final product, the solvent is being otherwise used,
not processed. Failure to submit a Form R due to an
Incorrect threshold determination resulting from a
mlsclassiffcation of a chemical activity may result in an
enforcement action.
O Incorrect Interpretation of an exemption clause. Only
toxic chemicals meeting every condition of an exemption
clause may be omitted from the reporting requirements.
For additional guidance on the scope of the section 313
exemptions and specific examples, see the Toxic Chemi-
cal Release Inventory Questions and Answers document,
which Includes "Directive #1: Article Exemption." For
example, only the processing or otherwise use of an
article Is exempt. Incorrectly assuming the manufacture
of an article Is exempt will result in Incorrectly omitting
toxic chemicals which are required to be included in a
threshold determination. Failure to submit a Form R due
to an incorrect threshold determination resulting from the
incorrect interpretation of an exemption clause may result
In an enforcement action.
O Misinterpretation of the toxic chemical list. Each toxic
chemical subject to section 313 has a chemical-specific
Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number, which
uniquely identifies a specific chemical. All information
available at the facility, such as MSDSs and the Common
Synonyms forSection313 Chemicals document, must be
used to identify toxic chemicals being used. For example,
an MSDS may identify a chemical as hydrogen chloride
with no CAS number, which does not appear on the toxic
chemical list. However, another chemical information
source at your facility, such as the Common Synonyms
document or an MSDS from a different manufacturer,
may provide a CAS number which identifies that same
chemical as hydrochloric acid, a listed toxic chemical.
Failure to correctly identify a toxic chemical may result in
no Form R being filed, which, in turn, may lead to an
enforcement action.
O Failure to consider listed chemical qualifier. Aluminum,
vanadium, and zinc are qualified as fume or dust."
Isopropyl alcohol and saccharin have manufacturing
qualifiers. Ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfateare
qualified as solutions. Phosphorus is qualified as yellow
or white. Asbestos is qualified as friable. Aluminum oxide
is qualified as fibrous forms. Only chemicals meeting the
qualifiers require reporting under section 313 and should
be reported on Form R with the appropriate qualifier in
parentheses.
O Incorrectly reporting Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl
alcohol Is listed on the toxic chemical list with the qualifier
"manufacturing-strong acid process, no supplier notification."
The only facilities that should be reporting this toxic
chemical are those that manufacture isopropyl alcohol by
the strong acid process. If it is manufactured by any other
process, or simply processed or otherwise used, you are
not required to report it.
O Incorrectly Interpreting threshold definition. Thresholds
f orsection 313 are based on the amount of toxic chemicals
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used at the facility
over the course of a calendar year. The thresholds are
not based on the amount stored on-site at any one time or
the amount released to the environment. EPA checks
every Form R as it is entered into the database for
reasonableness of the numbers entered and compares
Form Rs with submissions for the same chemicals from
other facilities in the same industry. Any toxic chemical
that is reported that did not exceed a threshold will result
in a Notice of Noncompliance. Any toxic chemical that
was not reported due to an incorrect'threshold determination
(i.e., based on the amount released), which should have
been reported, may result in an enforcement action.
O Documentation. Any information used to make a threshold
determination (e.g., purchasing records, storage and
inventory records) must be maintained and made available
to EPA upon request. Failure to provide proper
documentation if requested by EPA may result in an
enforcement action. This documentation should uoi be
submitted with the Form R, but must be maintained by the
facility with the related Form R records.

Page D-4
Release Estimate Errors
O Reporting the transfer off-site of materials being sent
for recycling or reuse. Materials being sent off-site for
recycling or reuse are not considered a release under
section 313. Therefore, any toxic chemical sent off-site
for recycling or reuse must not be entered into Part III
section 6 as a transfer off-site for final disposal. Recycle
and reuse operations include sending spent solvents off-
site to be reclaimed, sending materials with a fuel value
off-site to be burned as fuel, orsending a waste containing
a toxic chemical for metals recovery. Entering amounts
being sent for recycle or reuse in Part III section 6 will
increase the overall releases reported by the facility and
may result in a Notice of Technical Error.
O Reporting zero air emissions of a VOC. Volatile
organic chemicals (VOCs) are substances which readily
evaporate at room temperature. As a result, when using
these toxic chemicals in an open tank, a painting or
degreasing operation, or similar open operations, air
emissions will occur. Only in special cases with completely
closed systems may a zero emission to air occur. Failure
to report air emissions when submitting a Form R for a
VOC may result in a Notice of Technical Error.
O Reporting discharges of mineral acids after
neutralization. When a mineral acid stream is neutralized
to a pH of 6 or above, the mineral acid is considered 100
percent neutralized. As a result, the release of the
discharge may be reported on Form R as zero acid
released. Reporting the amount of neutralized acid
discharged is overreporting and may result in a Notice of
Technical Error.
O Incorrectly Identifying/reporting fugitive and stack
emissions. Fugitive and stack emissions must .be reported
separately as releases to air in Part III section 5 of Form
R. Errors, such as reporting stack emissions as fugitive
emissions, can be identified by EPA by examining facility
information on other parts of the Form R. For example,
a toxic chemical is reported on a Form R as being in an air
stream treated by a scrubber with only 92 percent efficiency
in Part III section 7 of Form R. However, Section 5 of
Form R states the only release of the toxic chemical was
a fugitive emission. Because pollution control equipment,
• such as a scrubber, have adefined airflow, releases from
such equipment are considered stack emissions. EPA
would identify the error which would result in a Notice of
Technical Error.
O Documentation. Any information used to make a release
estimate (e.g., equations, engineering judgement, published
emission factors, equipment or process specifications)
must be clearly documented in facility records and be
made available to EPA upon request. This documentation
should not be submitted .with the Form R, but must be
maintained by the facility with the related Form R records.
Failure to provide proper documentation if requested by
EPA may result in an enforcement action.

APPENDIX E
SUPPLIER NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Because manufacturers reporting under section 313 must
know the toxic chemical composition of the products they use
to be able to accurately calculate releases, EPA requires some
suppliers of mixtures ortrade name productscontaining one or
more of the listed section 313 chemicals to notify thair custom-
ers. This requirement has been In effect since January 1,
1989. .
This appendix explains which suppliers must notify their cus-
tomers, who must be notified, what form the notice must take,
and when It must be sent.
WHO MUST SUPPLY NOTIFICATION
You are covered by the section 313 supplier notification
requirements if you own or operate a facility which meets all
of the following criteria:
(1) Your facility Is in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes 20-391 (see pages 35 to 40);
(2) You manufacture. Import, or process a listed toxic
chemical; and
(3) You sell or otherwise distribute a mixture or trade name
product containing the toxic chemical to either
Q A facility that must report under section 313; or
Q A facility that then sells the same mixture or trade
name product to a firm in SIC codes 20-39.
Note that you may be covered by the supplier notification
rules even If you are not covered by the soction 313
release reporting requirement*. For example, even if you
have less than 10 full-time employees or do not manufacture
or process any of the chemicals in sufficient quantities to
trigger the release reporting requirements, you may still be
required to notify certain customers.
WHO MUST BE NOTIFIED
For each mixture ortrade name product that contains a listed
toxic chemical, you will have to notify ail customers in SIC
codes 20-39 or distributors who in turn sell that product to
facilities in SIC codes 20-39. Unless you know otherwise, you
should assume that the chain of distribution includes facilities
in SIC codes 20-39. (The notification is limited to SIC codes
20-39 facilities and their suppliers because only facilities in
those SIC codes are required to report releases under section'
313.)
An example would be if you sold a lacquer containing toluene
to distributors who then sell the product to other manufactur-
ers. The distributors are not in SIC codes 20-39, but because
they sell the product to companies in SIC codes 20-39, they
must be notified so that they may pass the notice along to their
customers, as required..
The language of the supplier notification requirements covers
mixtures or trade name products that are sold or otherwise
distributed. The "otherwise distributes* language applies to
intra-company transfers. However, if the company has devel-
oped an internal communications procedure that alerts their
other facilities to the presence and content of covered toxic
chemicals in their products, then EPA would accept this.
Supplier notification is also required if a waste mixture contain-
ing a toxic chemical is sold to a recycling or recovery facility.
However, if the material is sent off-site as a waste for treat-
ment or disposal, then no supplier notification is required.
SUPPUER NOTIFICATION MUST INCLUDE THE
FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
(1) A statement that the mixture ortrade name product con-
tains a toxic chemical or chemicals subject to the reporting
requirements of EPCRA section 313 (40 CFR 372);
(2) The name of each toxic chemical and the associated
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number of
each chemical if applicable. (CAS numbers are not used
for chemical categories, since they can represent several
individual chemicals.)
(3) The percentage, by weight, of each toxic chemical (or all
toxic chemicals within a listed category) contained in the
mixture or trade name product.
For example, if a mixture contains a chemical (i.e., 12 percent
zinc oxide) that is a member of a reportable chemical category
(i.e., zinc compounds), the notification must include that the
mixture contains a zinc compound at 12 percent by weight.
Supplying only the weight percent of the parent metal (zinc)
does not fulfill the requirement. The customer must be told the
weight percent of the entire compound within a listed toxic
chemical category present in the mixture.

HOW THE NOTIFICATION MUST BE MADE
The required notification must be provided at least annually in
writing. Acceptable forms of notice are, for example, a letter,
product labeling, and product literature distributed to custom-
ers. If you are required to prepare and distribute a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mixture under the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Communication
Standard, your section 313 notification must be attached to
the MSDS or the MSDS must be modified to include the
required information. (A sample letter and recommended text
for inclusion in an MSDS appear on pages E-4 and E-5 of this
appendix.)
You must make it clear to your customers that any copies or
redistribution of the MSDS or other form of notification must
include the section 313 notice. In other words, your customers
should understand their requirement to include the section
313 notification if they give your MSDS to their customers.
WHEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE PROVIDED
In general, you must notify each customer receiving a mixture
or trade name product containing a listed toxic chemical with
the first shipment of each calendar year. You may send the
notice with subsequent shipments as well, but it is required
that you send it with the first shipment each year. Once
customers have been provided with an MSDS containing the
section 313 information, you may refer to the MSDS by a
written letter in subsequent years (as long as the MSDS Is
current).
If EPA adds chemicals to the section 313 list, and your
products contain the newly listed toxic chemicals, notify your
customers with the first shipment made during the next
calendar year following EPA's final decision to add the chemi-
cal to the list. For example, if EPA adds chemical ABC to the
list in September 1990, supplier notification for chemical AB.C
would begin with the first shipment In 1991.
You must send a new or revised notice to your customers if
you:
(1) Change a mixture or trade name product by adding, re-
moving, or changing the percentage by weight of a listed
toxic chemical.
(2) Discover that your previous notification did not properly
identify the toxic chemicals in the mixture or correctly
indicate the percentage by weight.
In these cases, you must:
O Supply a new or revised notification within 30 days of a
change in the product or the discovery of misktentified
toxic chemical(s) in the mixture or incorrect percentages
by weight; and
O Identify in the notification the prior shipments of, the
mixture or product in that calendar year to which the new
notification applies (e.g., if the revised notification is made
in August, indicate how many shipments were affected
during the period January 1 - August).
WHEN NOTIFICATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED
Supplier notification is not required for a "pure" toxic chemical
unless atrade name Is used. The identity of the toxic chemical
will be known based on label information.
You are not required to make a "negative declaration." That is,
you are not required to indicate that a product contains no
section 313 toxic chemicals.
If your mixture or trade name product contains one of the listed
toxic chemicals, you are not required to notify your customers
if:
(1) Your mixture or trade name product contains the toxic
chemical in percentages by weight of less than the
following levels (These are known as de minimis levels):
O 0.1 percent if the toxic chemical is defined as an
"OSHA carcinogen";
O 1 percent for other toxic chemicals.
De minimis levels for each toxic chemical and chemical
category are listed on pages 41 -50.
(2) Your mixture or trade name product is one of the
following:
O An article that does not release a covered toxic chemi-
cal under normal conditions of processing or use.
O Foods, drugs, cosmetics, pesticides, alcoholic bever-
ages, tobacco, or tobacco products packaged for
distribution to the general public.
O Any consumer product, as the term is defined in the
Consumer Product Safety Act, packaged for distribu-
tion to the general public. For example, if you mix or
package one-gallon cans of paint designed for use by
the general public, notification is not required.
(3) Your mixture or trade name product is contained in a
waste being sent off-site for treatment or disposal.

Page E-3
TRADE SECRETS
RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS
Chemical suppliers may consider the chemical name or the
specific concentration of a section 313 toxic chemical in a
mixture or trade name product to be a trade secret. If you
consider the:
(1) Specific identity of a toxic chemical to be a trade secret,
the notice must contain a generic chemical name that is
descriptive of the structure of that toxic chemical. For
example, decabromodiphenyl oxide could be described
as a halogenated aromatic.
(2) Specific percentage by weight of a toxic chemical in the
mixture or trade name product to be a trade secret, your
notice must contain a statement that the toxic chemical is
present at a concentration that does not exceed a speci-
fied upper bound. For example, if a mixture contains 12
percent toluene and you consider the percentage a trade
secret, the notification may state that the mixture contains
toluene at no more than 15 percent by weight. The upper
bound value chosen must be no larger than necessary to
adequately protect the trade secret.
If you claim this information to be trade secret, you must have
documentation in your files that provides the basis for your
claim.
You are required to keep records for three years of the
following:
(1) Notifications sent to recipients;
(2) Explanations of why a notification was considered neces-
sary and all supporting materials used to develop the
notice;
(3) Explanations of why a specific chemical identity is consid-
ered a trade secret and the appropriateness of the ge-
neric chemical name provided in the notification; and
(4) Explanations of why a specific concentration is consid-
ered a trade secret and the basis forthe upper bound con-
centration limit.
This information must be readily available for inspection by
EPA.

APPENDIX F
HOW TO DETERMINE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE FROM
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
Latitude and longitude coordinates of reporting facilities are
very important for pinpointing facility location and are a required
data element on Form R. As such, EPA is encouraging that
facilities make the best possbte measurements when determining
latitude and longitude. As with any other data element
missing, suspect, or incorrect data may result in EPA issuing
a Notice of Technical Error to the facility.
Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator. Longitude
is the distance east or west of the prime meridian (Greenwich,
England). Latitude and longitude are measured in degrees,
minutes, and seconds.
. 60* (seconds):
60' (minutes) =
= V (minute)
1 ° (degree)
The most important tool available for determining latitude and
longitude foryourfacility is the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
topographic quadrangle map. These maps are published in
varying degrees of detail. The most detailed version of the
toppgraphjc quadrangle map is in 7.5 x 7.5 minute increments
with a scale of 1:24000 (i.e., one inch on the map represents
2,000 feet). Detailed topographic quadrangle maps are also
available in 7.5 x 15 minute increments with a scale of 125000
(i.e., one inch on the map represents approximately four
miles). It is very important that latitude and longitude
measurements be made from the one of these detailed maps
described above. Otherwise, measurements wiH not accurately
reflect the location of yourfacility and could be identified as an
error on your Form R submission.
In orderto identify the detailed topographic quadrangle map in
which yourfacility is located, the USGS has published an index
and a catalog of topographic maps available for each state.
Both the index and the catalog are available in many libraries
or free of charge from the Distribution Branch of the USGS
(address on following page). The Index to Topographic and
Other Map Coverage helps you to identify the most detailed
map in which your facility is located. To identify the most
detailed map, follow these simple steps on how to use the
index:
1. The beginning of each index contains a map of the state,
broken into numbered quadrangular sections. The num-
bered quadrangular sections are called general areas of
interest. Identify the numbered section In which your
facility is located.
2. The subsequent pages of the index contain detailed maps
of each general area of interest, in numerical order.
JdSDlify. the detailed map corresponding to the numbered
general area of interest identified in Step 1.
3. Within this detailed map, identify the smaller quadrangu-
lar area in which your facility is located. This smaller
quadrangular section is the specific area of interest.
BSfiflld first theletterthen the number coordinate for your
specific area of interest (e.g., E4).
4. Using the chart found on the same page as the detailed
map of the general area of interest, record the name of the
specific area of interest in which your facility is located,
identified by the letter and number coordinates (e.g.,
Richmond).
The name of the specific area of interest and its corresponding
letter and number coordinates identify the most detailed
topographic quadrangle map in which your facility is located.
To identify the map reference code and file number necessary
to order this map, follow these simple steps for using the
Catalog of Topographic and Other Published Maps for the
state in which your facility is located:
5. The beginning of the catalog explains the meaning of the
reference code. On the pages following this explanation,
there are charts listed alphabetically by the name of the
specific area of interest with corresponding file numbers
and map reference codes. Using the name of the specific
area of interest recorded in Step 4. identify the file number
and map reference code from the chart for the map in
which yourfacility is located (e.g., file number00692, map
reference code 37977-E4-TF-024-00).
6. Use the file number and map reference code to obtain the
specific topographic quadrangle map in which yourfacility
is located.
These detailed topographic quadrangle maps are available in
many libraries or for purchase from the Distribution Branch of
the USGS and from private map dealers. The Catalog of
Topographic and OtherP_ubJUsliedJM.aDS,contains a list of map
depository libraries and topographic map dealers for each
state covered in the catalog.

To purchase a topographic quadrangle map from the USGS,
you must send a written request to the Distribution Branch of
the USGS, containing the file number, map reference code,
the name of the city, state and zip code in which your facility
Is located, and payment of $2.50.
The Distribution Branch of the USGS can be reached at:

In addition, you may purchase a topographic quadrangle map
from the USGS through a USGS Public Inquiry Office. The
Public Inquiry Offices are listed for each state on the Inside
back cover of the Catalog of Topographic and OtherPublished
Maps.
If you need help in determining your latitude and longitude,
once you have the necessary map, the National Cartographic
Information Center can provide assistance:

Please call In advance of the section 313 reporting deadline to
avoid unecessary delays.
Determining Your Facility's Latitude and Longitude
(See diagram next page.)
Once you have obtained the correct map for your facility:
1. Mark the location of your facility on the map with a point.
If your facility is large, choose a point central to the pro-
duction activities of the facility. If certain structures in your
facility are represented on the map, mark one of the
structures with a point
2. Construct a small rectangle around the point with fine
pencil lines connecting the nearest 21/2' or 5' graticules.
Graticules are Intersections of latitude and longitude lines
that are marked on the map edge, and appear as black
crosses at four points in the interior of the map.
3. Read and record the latitude and longitude (in degrees,
minutes, and seconds) for the southeast comer of the
small quadrangle drawn in step two. The latitude and
longitude are printed at the edges of the map.
4. To determine the increment of latitude above the, latitude
line recorded in step 3,
- position the map so that you face west:
- place the ruler in approximately a north-south align-
ment, with the "0* on the latitude line recorded in step
3 with the ruler edge intersecting the point.
Without moving the ruler, read and record:
- the measurement from the latitude line to the desired
point (the point distance);
- the measurement from the latitude line tothe north line
of the small quadrangle,(the total distance).
Determine the number of seconds to be added to the
latitude recorded in step 3 by using the ratio:
Point distance
Total distance
between lines
x 150* > increment of latitude
[Note: 150" is the number of seconds of arc for the side of
the small quadrangle on a 7.5' map. If you are using a 15'
map, the multiplication factor is 300" instead of 150" since
each graticule is 5' of latitude or longitude.]
For example:
Point distance
Total distance
99.5 x150'
192.0
99.5
192.0
77.7" = 01'17.7"
(60" =1'; 77.7"-60" = 01*17.7")
Latitude in step 3: 32°17*30"
Increment : + 01*17.7"
Latitude of point : 32°18'47.7"
to the nearest second
32°18'48"
5. To determine the increment of longitude west of the Ion-
• gitude line recorded in step 3,
- position the map so that you face south:
- place the ruler in approximately an east-west align-
ment with the "0" on the longitude tine recorded in step
3 with the ruler edge intersecting the point.
Without moving the ruler, read and record:
- the measurement from the longitude line to the de-
sired point (the point distance);
-------
Page F-3
- the measurement from the longitude line to the west
line of the small quadrangle (the total distance).
Determine the number of seconds to be added to the
longitude recorded in step.3 by using the ratio:
Point distance
Total distance
between lines
For example:
Point distance
Total distance
x 150" = increment of longitude
65.0
149.9
65.0 x 150" = 66.4" = 01'06.4"
