-------
This brochure contains information about the Emergency
(Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. This law estab-
lishes a structure at the state and local levels to assist communi-
ties in planning for chemical emergencies and requires facilities
to provide information on various chemicals present in the com-
munity. The Act requires that this information be made available
to the public. One of the requirements concerns the reporting
of annual releases of toxic chemicals to the air, water, and land.
These provisions are outlined in Section 313 which mandates
annual release reporting for over 300 chemicals. Other reporting
requirements are included elsewhere in the Act. This booklet
deals with Section 313.
It is important that you read this information to see if you
are subject to Section 313'reporting requirements. The first
reports under this Section, covering the 1987 calendar year,
were due by July 1,1988. Reports for subsequent calendar
years are due the following July 1. EPA is responsible for ad-
ministering this Section and developing a database that will
make information in the reports available to the public.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act is important in providing to the public information about
chemicals in the community. I look forward to working with you
to make its implementation a success.

THE EMERGENCY
PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
RIGHT-TO-KNOW
ACT
EPA has prepared this brochure to alert
businesses to their reporting obligations under Sec-
tion 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)*, and to help you de-
' termine whether your facility is covered under the
law. If you are covered, this brochure will also help
you prepare to meet your reporting obligations. If
you are uncertain whether you are covered, it will
tell you how to get assistance.
This brochure deals with reporting requirements
of only one section of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act: Section 313, which
pertains to release reporting. Other EPCRA plan-
ning and reporting requirements may also affect
your business. The nearest EPA regional office can
provide complete details, but the other basic re-
quirements of EPCRA are as follows:
Facility owners/operators that have on their
premises chemicals designated under
EPCRA as "extremely hazardous substances"
must cooperate with state and local planning
officials in preparing comprehensive emer-
gency plans (Sections 302 and 303);
•
Facility owners/operators must report acci-
dental releases of "extremely hazardous sub-
stances" and CERCLA "hazardous sub-
stances" to state and local response officials
(Section 304); and
* The Act is also known as Title III of SARA (the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986).
-------
Facility owners/operators must make Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) available to local
and state officials and must also report, to lo-f
cal and state officials, inventories (including
locations) of chemicals on their premises for]
which MSDSs exist (Sections 311 and 312).
For more information on the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to Know Act, ask your
regional EPA office for the EPCRA Fact Sheet; or
call the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Information Hotline, (800) 535-0202
or (703) 920-9877.
REPORT TOXIC
CHEMICAL RELEASES
Under Section 313 of the Emergency Planninc
and Community Right-to-Know Act, certain busi-
nesses are required to submit reports each year on
the amounts of toxic chemicals their facilities re-
lease into the environment, either routinely or as a
result of accidents. The purpose of this reporting
' requirement is to inform government officials and
the public about releases of toxic chemicals into the
environment. Section 313 requires facilities to re-
port releases to air, water, and land. The reports
must be sent to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and to designated state
agencies. Reports are due by July 1 each year.
Those who fail to report as required are subject to
civil penalties of up to $25,000 a day.
The final Toxic Chemical Release Inventory rule
under Section 313 was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 1988.
-------
WHO MUST REPORT
A plant, factory, or other facility is subject to
the provisions of Section 313 if it meets aH three of
the following criteria:
It conducts manufacturing operations (is in-
cluded in Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) codes 20 through 39, listed on page 9);
and
•
It has 10 or more full-time employees (or the
equivalent 20,000 hours per year); and
•
It manufactures, imports, processes, or other-
wise uses any of the toxic chemicals listed on
pages 15-24 in amounts greater than the
"threshold" quantities specified below. At
present, 317 individual chemicals and 20 cate-
gories of chemicals are covered. The list may
be changed in future years.
•
THRESHOLDS
Thresholds are specified amounts of toxic
chemicals used during the calendar year that trigger
reporting requirements.
If you manufacture or import any of the listed
toxic chemicals, the threshold quantity will be:
• 25,000 pounds per toxic chemical or
category over the calendar year.
If you process any of the listed toxic chemicals,
the threshold quantity will be:
• 25,000 pounds per toxic chemical or
category over the calendar year.
If you otherwise use any of the listed toxic
chemicals (without incorporating it into any product
or producing it at the facility), the threshold quantity
Is:*
• 10,000 pounds per toxic chemical or
category over the calendar year.
-------
What is meant by the terms "manufacture,"
"process," or "otherwise use'"?
• Manufacture - means to produce, preparel
import or compound one of the toxic chemij
cals on the list. For example, if you make a dye[
for clothing by taking raw materials and react}
ing them, you are manufacturing the dye. Yc
would also be covered if you were a textile
manufacturer who imported a dye on the I ist fot|
purposes of applying it to fabric produced ;
your plant.
• Process - in general, is the incorporation i
toxic chemical into a product and include
making mixtures, repackaging, or using
chemical as a feed-stock, raw material,
starting material for making another chemical\
Examples of processing include:
n Adding a solvent as a diluent when mak-j
ing a paint, coating, or other mixture;
o Using a chemical as reactant in tf-
manufacture of a pesticide (e.g., using
chemical A to make chemical B).
• Otherwise Use - applies to any use of a toxic
chemical at a covered facility that is not cov-|
ered by the terms "manufacture" or "process"
and includes use of a toxic chemical containedl
in a mixture or trade name product. A toxic
• chemical that is otherwise used by a facil
not intentionally incorporated into a produc
distributed in commerce.
Examples include:
D Using a metal cutting fluid that contains]
diethanolamine;
D Using a heat transfer fluid containing}
biphenyl;
n Using trichloroethylene to degrease|
tools;
D Using chlorine in waste water treatment;!
a Using Freon 113 as a refrigerant to cool|
process streams.
-------
Section 313 defines a "facility" 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. Warehouses on the same site
as covered facilities are covered at the threshold
levels given above. Stand-alone warehouses that
do not support a manufacturing operation are not
currently covered.
The reporting thresholds apply to toxic chemi-
cals known by the owner or operator to be used in
amounts above the thresholds. Section 313 re-
quires suppliers of mixtures and trade name prod-
ucts to notify customers of the presence of Section
313 listed toxic chemicals in their products beyond
certain de minimis concentrations (these cutoffs are
discussed under "Exemptions"). This supplier notifi-
cation requirement has been in effect since January
1,1989.
EXEMPTIONS
Under certain circumstances, some or all of
the reporting requirements under Section 313 may
not apply to a facility. The following are the major
exemptions:
>• De minimis concentrations of a toxic chemical in
certain mixtures. In determining whether the amount of a
toxic chemical used at your facility exceeds the reporting
threshold listed on page 3, you are not required to count
the amount of chemical present in a mixture If
its concentration is less than 1 percent of the
mixture, or
its concentration is less than 0.1 percent of
the mixture when the chemical is defined by
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) as carcinogenic; the
chemical list beginning on page 15 identifies
these chemicals.
-------
>• Articles. In considering whether a reporting thresh-l
old has been exceeded, you are not required to count!
toxic chemicals present in articles processed or used all
your facility. An "article" is a manufactured item: (1)[
which is formed to a specific shape or design during!
manufacture; (2) which has end use functions dependent I
in whole or in part upon its shape or design during end I
use; and (3) which does not release a toxic chemical un-1
der normal conditions of processing or use of that item at |
the facility or establishments.
>- Specified Uses. In considering whether a reporting I
threshold has been exceeded, you are not required to
count toxic chemicals that are used at your facility for any |
of the following purposes:
As a structural component of the facility;
In routine janitorial or facility grounds mainte-
nance;
In foods, drugs, cosmetics, or other items for
personal use, including supplies of such
items (for example, in a facility-operated
cafeteria);
In motor vehicle maintenance (including mo-
tor fuel); or
In process water and non-contact cooling
water as drawn from the environment or from
municipal sources, or in air used either as
compressed air or as part of combustion.
-------
^ Laboratory Activities. In considering whether a re-
porting threshold has been exceeded, you are not re-
quired to count toxic chemicals that are manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used for research or qual ity con-
trol in a laboratory at a covered facility under the supervi-
sion of a technically qualified individual. This exemption
does not apply to production, processing, or the use of
toxic chemicals in pilot plant scale operations and labo-
ratories for distribution in commerce.
^- Owners of Leased Property. The owner of a cov-
ered facility is not subject to reporting under Section 313
if the owner's only interest in the facility is ownership of
the real estate upon which the facility is operated. How-
ever, the operator of the facility must report if the criteria
are met.
-------
HOW TO REPORT
The owner or operator of a covered facility
must report annually. Reports must be submitted on
or before July 1 and cover activities that occured at
the facility during the previous calendar year.
EPA will provide a reporting form (EPA Form R)
with instructions and technical guidance on how to
calculate toxic chemical releases or emissions from
your facility. For information on how to obtain the
reporting form and instructions contact the Emer-
gency Planning and Community Right-to-Know In-
formation Hotline. For other technical guidance,
write a letter or check the boxes for those publica-
tions on the back cover, detach the cover, and mail
it to: Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Document Distribution Center, P.O. Box
12505, Cincinnati, OH 45212, or any of the EPA
regional offices listed on pages 13-14.
You are not required to measure or monitor re-
leases for purposes of Section 313 reporting. You
may use readily .available data to report the quanti-
ties of chemicals that you use and the amounts re-
leased into the environment. If you have no data
available, the law permits you to report reasonable
estimates. EPA's technical guidance on calculating
releases can help you in making estimates.

WHAT YOU
MUST REPORT
You must report on EPA Form R the following
information for each listed toxic chemical manu-
factured, imported, processed, or otherwise used
at your facility in yearly amounts which exceed the
threshold:
The name and location of your facility;
H
The identity of the listed toxic chemical (unless
you claim its identity to be a trade secret):
•
Whether you manufacture, import, process, or
otherwise use the toxic chemical;
•
The maximum quantity of the toxic chemical
on-site at any time during the year;
•
The total quantity of the toxic chemical releaseij
during the year, including both accidental s|
and routine emissions - separate estimates mus
be provided for releases to air, water, and I
(e.g., deep well injection, permitted landfill);
•
Off-site locations to which you shipped wasted
containing the toxic chemical and the quantities o|
that toxic chemical sent to those locations for reJ
cycling, treatment, or disposal;
H
On-site recycling, treatment, or disposal method^
used for wastes containing the toxic chemical ana
estimates of their treatment efficiency for eacq
toxic chemical;
•
The total quantity of the toxic chemical entering
waste prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal!
and
•
Source reduction activities and other pollution prej
vention data involving the toxic chemical.
10
-------
For purposes of Section 313, a release is
defined as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
leaching, clumping, or disposing into the environment
(including the abandonment or discarding of barrels,
containers, and other closed receptacles) of any
"toxic chemical" (i.e., any of the chemicals or chemi-
cal categories on pages 15-24).
PUBLIC ACCESS
TO REPORTS
The law requires facilities covered by Section
313 to send toxic chemical release reports both to
EPA and to the state in which the facility is located.
At EPA, the Office of Toxic Substances is responsi-
ble for receiving and processing the data. The
agency designated to receive reports in your state
is listed in the instructions for Form R.
EPA is required by law to make the data in the
reports available to the public through a computer
database. (You can claim the toxic chemical iden-
tity to be a trade secret, but you must justify the
claim to EPA. The final Trade Secret rule was pub-
lished in the Federal Register on July 29, 1988.)
The database is intended to help answer citizens'
questions about toxic chemical releases in their
community. The users of the data are also likely to
include researchers from the government or universi-
ties conducting environmental analyses. EPA ex-
pects to use the data in a variety of ways, including
targeting problem pollution areas and as a screen-
ing tool for developing standards and regulations.
11
-------
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
You can begin planning now to make
compliance with Section 313 as easy and inexpen-
sive as possible. The steps are as follows:
(U Check that you have 10 or more full-time employ-
ees (that is, if the total annual hours worked by all
employees is at least 20,000 hours).
[U Check the SIC code list on page 9 to determine
whether your facility is covered (i.e., has an SIC
code of 20-39).
SO Check the list of toxic chemicals covered by Sec-
tion 313 (pages 15-24) to see if any are manufac-
tured, imported, processed, or otherwise used by
your facility. Your chemical supplier is required to
inform you if any of the Section 313 toxic chemi-
cals are contained in mixtures sold to you. Also,
the document "Common Synonyms for Section
313 Chemicals" can assist you in identifying toxic
chemicals.
S] Determine whether you handle any toxic chemical
on the list in an amount greater than the thresh-
olds on page 3.
ED If you meet the criteria, request copies of the re-
porting form, instructions, and any of the appropri-
ate guidance documents listed at the back of this
brochure.
[B] Begin to develop the appropriate information to
report your releases and your source reduction
and recycling activities.
[3 Maintain a recordkeeping system that will help
you estimate releases for future years.
You should designate someone at your facility
to be responsible for reporting under Section 313.
That person should obtain reporting forms and in-
structions and should be aware of the reporting
deadline: July 1 of each year.
For information on how to obtain the reporting
form and instructions contact the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Information
Hotline. Additional guidance documents can be
obtained by mailing the order form on the inside
back cover or by calling one of the EPA regional
offices listed on pages 13-14.
