Important Corrections for Reporting Year 1992
.^^^^^^^^^^M^MHHM^B^MHi^MHMmW^MSMB^H^^B-
The following corrections have been made to the reporting Form R and Instructions for 1992. No
other changes or modifications have been made to the Form R or instructions other than those
listed here.
Theblank Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Form
R has been moved from Appendix A to the front
of the document for easier access.
The approval expiration date shown on page one
of the Form R is 11/92. This is the date that the
OMB approval, given on May 19,1992, expired.
However, due to the passage of the Pollution
Prevention Act Implementation provisions of
the 1993 Appropriations Act (P.L. 102-879) the
Agency may continue to use this Form R until
revisions are promulgated pursuant to law.
Therefore, even though the expirationdateshown
on the Form has passed, this Form R is still valid
and should be used for all 1992 submissions.
All references to reportingyear 1991 and all other
date related references have been changed to
reflect the current reporting year, (i.e., Reporting
year 1991 has been changed to reporting year
1992; prior year 1990 was changed to prior year
1991, etc.) This change was made for both the
Form R and the instructions. In addition, all
information which was relevant to only the first
year of reporting pollution prevention data ele-
ments has been removed.
The address for the EPCRA reporting center has
changed. The new address is:
EPCRA Reporting Center
P.O. Box 3348
Merrifield, VA 22116-3348
Attn: Toxic Release Inventory
For hand delivery or certified mail, the address
EPCRA Reporting Center
c/o Computer Based Systems Inc.
4301N. Fairfax Drive
6th Floor, Suite 650
Arlington, VA 22203
These changes are reflected on the Form R and in
the instructions.
' On page 2 of the instructions, under voluntary
1 revision of a previous submission, the first sen-
: tence of the second paragraph was changed to
read "For the 1991 reporting year and beyond
: enter "X" in the " A similar change was
; made in Appendix C, page C-2 under Revisions
' not identified. The statement "if a revision is
; made for reporting year 1991 information" was
changed to "for reporting year 1991 or later...."
The local EPCRA Hotline telephone number
has been changed. Thenewnumberis(703)412-
: 9877. In addition, the TDD number for the
' Hotline was added to page 4 of the instructions.
'. This number allows the hearing impaired ac-
, cess to the Hotline.
The document number which was specific to
' the 1991 Form R and Instructions document,
1 EPA 700-K-92-002, was removed from page 18
of the instructions.
> The 1991 instructions for transferring a neu-
: tralized acid to an off-site POTW on page 31
! incorrectly stated that this transfer should not
be reported. This has been corrected to be
consistent with the agency's guidance on
mineral acids. This guidance states that fa-
cilities that neutralize mineral acids ina waste
! stream should report a release or transfer of
zero.
: Two reporting codes for Part II, Section 6.2 were
; inadvertantly omitted from the list on page 36 in
' the 1991 Instructions document, but do appear
I in Appendix B. These two codes are M90-Other
' Off-Site Management and M99- Unknown. Also,
in Appendix B, page B-2 the code M91-Transfer
' to Waste Broker has been removed since it is
duplicative of other codes.

Important Corrections for Reporting Year 1992
Typographical errors for the Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) numbers for two chemicals have
been corrected in this year's instructions. In the
1991 Form R and Instructions document the CAS
number for Freon 113 was incorrect on the CAS
number order list. Also in the 1991 package, the
CAS number for Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate
(DEHP) was incorrect on the alphabetical list.
These same typographical errors exist in the cur-
rent Code of Federal Regulations and the Agency
will publish a Notice of Technical Correction to
correct these CAS numbers.
There was an error in the codes for Part II, Section
8.10 in Appendix B, page B-5,in the 1991 Instruc-
tions. The correct codes were listed in the in-
structions. Appendix B has been corrected to
include T06- Employee Recommendation (un-
der a formal company program). All the subse-
quent codes were renumbered appropriately. In
addition, in Appendix B, the code T05 was
changed from (independent of ParticipativeTeam
Program) to (independent of formal company
program) to be consistent with the codes in the
instructions.
In Appendix C, page C-l, under the heading
incomplete forms, it was incorrectly stated that
a complete Form R consists of eight unique
pages. This was corrected for the 1992 instruc-
; tions to nine unique pages.
The State and Regional contacts lists (appendices
1 F and G) have been updated.

Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
-------
A. General Information
Submission of EPA Form R, the Toxic Chemical Release
Inventory (TRI) Reporting Form, is required by section
313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
to-Know Act (EPCRA, or Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986), Public
Law 99-499. The information contained in Form R con-
stitutes a "report," and the submission of a report to the
appropriate authorities constitutes "reporting."
Reporting is required to provide the public with infor-
mation on the releases of listed toxic chemicals in their
communities and to provide EPA with release informa-
tion to assist the Agency in determining the need for
future regulations. Facilities must report the quantities of
both routine and accidental releases of listed toxic
chemicals, as well as the maximum amount of the listed
toxic chemical on-site during the calendar year and the
amount contained in wastes transferred off-site.
The Pollution Prevention Act, passed into law in October,
1990 (Pub. L. 101-508), added reporting requirements to
Form R. These requirements affect all facilities required
to submit Form R under section 313 of EPCRA. The data
was required beginning with reports for calendar year
1991.
A completed Form R must be submitted for each toxic
chemical manufactured, processed, or otherwise used at
each covered facility as described in the reporting rule in
40 CFR Part 372 (originally published February 16,1988,
in the Federal Register). These instructions supplement
and elaborate on the requirements in the reporting rule.
Together with the reporting rule, they constitute the
reporting requirements. All references in these instruc-
tions 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 two parts:
Part I, Facility Identification Information(pages
1 and 2); and
-------
A sanitized version of a completed Form R
report in which the toxic chemical identity
items (Part II, Sections 1.1 and 1.2) have been
left blank but in which a generic chemical
name has been supplied (Part II, Section 1.3)
(staple the pages together);
A completed "unsanitized" version of a trade
secret substantiation form (staple the pages
together); and
A sanitized version of a completed trade secret
substantiation form (staple the pages together).
Securely fasten all four reports together.
Some states also require submission of both sanitized and
unsanitized reports for toxic chemicals whose identity is
claimed as a trade secret. Others require only a sanitized
version. Facilities may jeopardize the trade secret status
of a toxic chemical by submitting an unsanitized version
of Form R to a state agency or Indian tribe that does not
rcquireunsanitized forms. Youmay identify anindividual
Slate's submission requirements by contacting the ap-
propriate state-designated Section 313 contact (see Ap-
pendix F).
A.3 Recordkeeping
Sound recordkeeping practices are essential for accurate
and efficient TRI reporting. It is in the facility's interest,
as well as EPA's, to maintain records properly.
Facili ties must keep a copy of each Form R report filed for
at least three years from the date of submission. These
reports will be of use in subsequent years when complet-
ing future Form R reports.
Facilities must also maintain those documents, calcula-
tions, worksheets, and other forms upon which they
relied to gather information for prior Form R reports. In
the event of a problem with data elements on a facility's
Form R, EPA may request documentation from the facility
that supports the information reported. In the future,
EPA may conduct data quality reviews of past Form R
submissions. An essential component of this process

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 1992, January-December, must be submit-
ted on or before July 1, 1993).
Voluntary Revision of a Previous Submission
Voluntary revisions must be submitted on a Form R
identical to the version originally submitted to EPA for
that reporting year. The Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline can help
you identify the versionof FormR used for each reporting
year.
For the 1991 reporting year and beyond, enter "X" in the
space marked "Enter 9(' here if this is a revision" on page
1 of the form if you are making a voluntary revision to a
previous Form R submission. If you have obtained the
Document Control Number (DCN) of the original sub-
mission from EPA, enter that number in red ink in any
available space on page 1 of the form. Enter the revised
data to the Form R and circle all changes from the original
submission in red ink. Sign the certification statement
and provide a current date.
2 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
For reportingyears prior to 1991, there are two options for
making voluntary revisions. The first is to submit a
photocopy of the original Form R submission (from your
file), with corrections made in red ink. Write the words
"VOLUNTARY REVISION," and the Document Control
Number (DCN), if available, on page 1 of the Form R, and
re-sign and re-date the certification statement on page 1.
The second is to obtain a blank Form R for the reporting
year affected by the correction(s). Complete all data
elements on this Form, but circle with red ink those data
elements that you have changed. A cover letter should be
included to clarify exactly which voluntary revisions you
have made.
Send the entire completed or 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
years data.
A.5 Where to Send the Form R
Form R submission 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 compliance and subject to enforcement
action.
Send reports to EPA by mail to:
EPCRA Reporting Center
P.O. Box 3348
Merrifield, VA 22116-3348
Attn: Toxic Chemical Release Inventory
Certified mail and hand-delivered submissions only
should be addressed to:
EPCRA Reporting Center.
c/o Computer Based Systems Inc.
4301 N. Fairfax Dr.
6th Floor, Suite 650
Arlington, VA 22203
In addition, you must also send a copy of the report to the
State in which the facility is located. ("State" also includes:
the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth 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 F for the appropriate State submission ad-
dresses.
Facilities located on Indian land should send a copy to the
Chief Executive Officer of the applicable Indian tribe.
Some tribes have entered into a cooperative agreement
with States; in this case, Form R submissions should be
sent to the entity designated in the cooperative agreement.
Submission of section 313 reports in magnetic media and
computer-generated facsimile formats has beenapproved
by EPA. EPA has developed a package called the "Toxic
Chemical Release Inventory Reporting System." The
easy-to-use diskette comes with complete instructions
for its use. It also provides prompts and messages to help
youireport according to EPA instructions. For copies of
the diskette you may call the EPCRA Hotline.
Many firms are offering computer software to assist
facilities in producing magnetic media submissions or
computer-generated facsimiles of Form R reports. To
ensure accuracy, EPA will only accept magnetic media
submissions and computer-generated facsimiles that meet
basic specifications established 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 identify the software that
has been approved by EPA for the current reporting year.
It should be noted, however, that some States may accept
only hard copies of Form R. If this is the case, a magnetic
media or computer-generated facsimile may be unac-
ceptable.

A. 7 Who Must Submit this Form
Section 313 of EPCRA requires that reports be filed by
owners and operators of facilities that meet all three of
the following criteria:
9 The facility has 10 or more full-time employ-
ees; and
9 The facility is included in Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Codes 20 through 39; and
9 The facility manufactures (defined to include
importing), processes, or otherwise uses any
listed toxic chemical in quantities equal to or
greater than the established threshold in the
course of a calendar year.

B. How To Determine If Your Facility Must Submit
EPA Form R
(See Figure 1 for more information.)
B.I Full-Time Employee
Determination
A "full-time employee," for purposes of section 313 re-
porting, is defined as 2,000 work hours per year. This
definition is dependent only upon the number of hours
worked by all employees for the facility during the cal-
endar year and not the number of persons working. To
determine the number of full-time employees working
for your facility, ad d up the hours worked by all employees
during the calendar year, including contract employees
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, your facility meets the ten employee threshold.
Examples include:
A facility consists of 11 employees who each
worked 1500 hours for the facility in a calendar
year. Consequently, the total number of hours
worked by all employees for the facility during
the calendar year is 16,500 hours. The number of
full-time employees for this facility is equal to
16,500 hours divided by 2,000 hours per full-time
employee, or 8.3 full-time employees. Therefore,
even though 11 persons worked for 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 reporting.
Another facility consists of 6 workers and 3 sales
staff. The 6 workers each worked 2,000 hours for
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 400
hours for the facility. The total number of hours
is equal to the time worked by the workers at the
facility (12,000 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 (2,000 hours), or 20,000 hours. Dividing
the 20,000 hours by 2,000 yields 10 full-time
employees. This facility has met the full-time
employee criteria and may be subject to report-
ing if the other criteria are met.
B.2 Primary SIC Code Determination
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20-39 are
covered by the rule and are listed in Table I. The first two
digits of a 4-digit SIC code define a major business sector,
while the last two digits denote a facility's specialty
within the major sector. If you are not familiar with the
SIC codes that apply to your facility, contact your trade
association, Chamber of Commerce, or legal counsel. For
a detailed description of 4-digit SIC codes, refer to the
"Standard Industrial Classification Manual 1987."
Clothbound editions are available in most major libraries
or may be ordered through the National Technical Infor-
mation Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA,
22161, (703) 487-4650. The access number for the
clothbound manual is PB87-100012, and the price is $30.00.
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 businesses not as "facilities,"
but as "establishments," which are defined as "distinct
and separate economic activities [that] are performed at
a single physical location."
Guidelines for using these definitions to determine pri-
mary SIC codes for facilities are presented in the following
subsections.
B.2.a Multi-Establishment Facilities
Your facility may include multiple establishments that
have different 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:
, If the total value of the products shipped from or
' produced at establishments with primary SIC
', codes between 20 and 39 is greater than 50 per-
cent of the value of the entire facility's products
and services, the entire facility meets the SIC
code criterion.
If any one establishment with a primary SIC code
between 20 and 39 produces or ships products
whose value exceeds the value of products and
services produced or shipped by any other estab-
i lishment within the facility, the facility also meets
the SIC code criterion.

6 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
The value of production attributable to a particular estab-
lishment may be isolated 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:
One establishment in a gold mining facility is
engaged primarily in the exploration of gold
deposits, developing mines, and mining gold.
This establishment deploys several means to mine
the gold, including crushing, grinding, gravity
concentration, froth flotation, amalgamation,
cyanidation, and the production of bullion at the
mine and mill sites (these processes are classified
under SIC code 1041). All of the ore discovered
through this establishment is delivered to a sec-
ond establishment which is primarily engaged in
rolling, drawing, and extruding the gold for sale
and distribution. The smeltering establishment
in the facility is classified under SIC code 3339.
The facility could calculate the value of produc-
tion for each establishment separately (both SIC
code 1041 and 3339 having separate values).
Alternatively, the facility could determine the
value of the smelter operation by subtracting the
value of the ore produced from the value of entire
facility's production (Gross value of facility - SIC
code 1041 value = Value for SIC code 3999).
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 establishment. Alter-
natively, the facility could first determine the
value of the crops grown at the agricultural es-
tablishment, and then calculate the contribution
of the food processing establishment by sub-
tracting the crop value from the total value of the
product shipped from the processing establish-
ment. (Value of product shipped from process-
ing - crop value = value of processing
establishment)
A covered multi-establishment facility must make toxic
chemical threshold determinations and, if required, must
report all relevant information about releases, source
reduction,recycling,and waste treatment associated with
a listed toxic chemical for the entire facility, 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 establish-
ments may report releases separately, provided that the
total releases 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,
warehouses, storage facilities, and waste-treatment fa-
cilities). An auxiliary facility can assume the SIC code of
another covered facility if its primary function is to ser-
vice that other covered facility's operations. Thus, a
separate warehouse facility (i.e., one not located within
the physical boundaries 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 and
reporting thresholds for manufacture, process, or other-
wise use. Auxiliary establishments that are part of a
multi-establishment facility must be factored into
threshold determinations for the facility as a whole.
B.2.c Facility-Related Exemptions
Laboratories: Listed toxic chemicals that are manufac-
tured, processed^ or otherwise used in laboratory activi-
ties at a covered facility under the direct supervision of a
technically qualified individual do not have to be consid-
ered for threshold 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.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 7

B.3 Activity Determination
B3.a Definitions of "Manufacture/' "Process," and
"Otherwise Use"
Manufacture: The term "manufacture" means to pro-
duo^prepare,compound,orimportalisted toxic chemical.
(Sec Part II, Section 3.1 of these instructions for further
clarification.)
Import is defined as causing the toxic chemical to be
imported into the customs territory of the United States.
If you order a listed toxic chemical (or a mixture contain-
ing 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 toxic chemical.
The term manufacture also includes coincidental pro-
duction of a toxic chemical (e.g., as a byproduct or im-
purity) as a result of the manufacture, processing,
otherwise use, or treatmentof other chemical substances.
In the case of coincidental production of an impurity (i.e.,
a toxicchcmical thatremainsin the product that is distrib-
uted in commerce), the de minimis limitation, discussed
in Section B.4.b of these instructions, applies. The de
minimis limitation does not apply to byproducts (e.g., a
toxicchemical thatis separated from a process stream and
further processed or disposed). Certain listed toxic
chemicals maybe manufactured as a result of wastewater
treatment or other treatment processes. For example,
neutralization of acid wastewater can result in the coinci-
dental manufacture of ammonium nitrate (solution).
Example 1: Coincidental Manufacture
Your company, a nitric acid manufacturer, uses am-
monia 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 so-
lution is a listed toxic chemical, as are nitric acid and
ammonia. Your facility thus otherwise uses ammonia
as a reactant and manufactures ammonium nitrate
solution as a byproduct. If the ammonium nitrate
solution is produced in a quantity that exceeds the
threshold (e.g., 25,000 pounds for the reporting year),
the facility must report for the ammonium nitrate
solution. If more than 10,000 pounds of ammonia is
added to the wastewater treatment system, then the
facility must report for ammonia.
Process: The term "process" means the preparation of
a listed toxic chemical, after its manufacture, for distri-
bution in commerce. Processing is usually the inten-
tional incorporation of a toxic chemical into a product
(see Part II, Section 3.2 of these instructions for further
clarification). Processing includes preparation of the
toxic chemical in the same physical state or chemical
form as that received by your facility, or preparation
that produces a change in physical state or chemical
form. The term also applies to the processing of a
mixture or other trade name product (see Section B.4.b
of these instructions) that contains a listed toxic chemical
as one component.
Example 2: Typical Process and Manufacture Activities
Your company receives toluene, a listed toxic chemical, from another facility, and reacts the toluene with
air to form benzoic acid. Your company processes toluene and manufactures benzoic acid. Benzoic acid,
however, is not a listed toxic chemical and thus does not trigger reporting requirements.
Your facility combines toluene purchased from a supplier with various materials to form paint. Your
facility processes toluene.
Your company receives a nickel compound (nickel compound 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.
Your company receives a prepared mixture of resin and chopped fiber to be used in the injection molding
of plastic products. The resin contains a listed toxic chemical that becomes incorporated into the plastic.
Your facility processes the toxic chemical.
8 Toxic Kefcflse Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
Example 3: Otherwise Use
When your facility cleans equipment with toluene, you
are otherwise using toluene. Your facility also sepa-
rates 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.
Otherwise Use: The term "otherwise use" encompasses
any activity involving a listed toxic 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 Part II, Section 3.3 of these
Instructions for further clarification).
B.3.b Activity Exemptions
Use Exemptions. Certain uses of listed toxic chemicals
are specifically exempted:
use as a structural component of the facility;
use in routine janitorial or facility grounds main-
tenance;
personal uses by employees or other persons;
use of products containing toxic chemicals for
the purpose of maintaining motor vehicles oper-
ated by the facility; or
use of toxic chemicals 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. Quantities of a listed toxic chemical
contained in an article do not have to be factored into
threshold or release determinations when that article is
processed or otherwise used at your facility. An article is
defined as a manufactured item that is formed to a
specific shape or design during manufacture, 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 process-
ing or otherwise use of that item at the facility.
If the processing or otherwise use of similar articles
results in a total release of less than 0.5 pounds of a toxic
chemical in a calendar year to any environmental media,
EPA will allow this release quantity to be rounded to zero,
and the manufactured items remain exempt as articles.
EPA requires facilities to round off and report all estimates
to the nearest whole number. 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
manufacture of an article. Toxic chemicals processed into
articles produced at a facility must be factored into
threshold and release determinations.
A closed item containing toxic chemicals (e.g., a trans-
former containing PCBs) that does not release the toxic
chemicals during normal use is considered an article if a
facility uses the item as intended and the toxic chemicals
are not released. If a facility services the closed item (e.g.,
a transformer) by replacing the toxic chemicals, the toxic
chemicals added during the reporting year must be
counted in threshold and release calculations.
Example 4: Article Exemption
Lead that is incorporated into a lead acid battery is processed to manufacture the battery, and therefore
must be counted toward threshold and release determinations. 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.
Metal rods that are extruded into wire are not articles because their form changes during processing.
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.
Toxic chemicals received in the form of pellets are not articles because the pellet form is simply a convenient
form for further processing of the material.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 9
-------
When the processing or otherwise use of an item gener-
ates 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 determina-
tion, and the fumes, dust, filings, and grindings must be
reported as releases or wastes. Scrap pieces that are
recognizable as an article do not constitute a release.
B.S.c Activity Qualifiers
Table II contains the list of individual toxic chemicals and
categories of chemicals subject to 1992 calendar year
reporting. Some of the toxic chemicals listed in Table II
have parenthetic qualifiers listed next to them. A toxic
chemical that is listed without a qualifier is subject to
reporting in all forms in which it is manufactured, pro-
cessed, and otherwise used.
Fume or dust Three of the metals on the list (aluminum,
vanadium, and zinc) contain the qualifier "fume or dust."
Fume or dust refers to dry forms of these metals but does
not refer to "wet" forms such as solutions or slurries. As
explained in Section B.3a of these instructions, the term
manufacture includes the generation of a toxic 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 1992 as a
result of its activities. If so, the facility must report that it
manufactures "aluminum (fume or dust)." Similarly,
there may be certain technologies in which one of these
metals is processed in the form of a fume or dust to make
other toxic chemicals or other products for distribution in
commerce. In reporting releases, the facility would only
report releases of the fume or dust.
EPA considers dusts to consist of solid particles generated
by any mechanical processing of materials including
crushing, grinding, rapid impact, handling, detonation,
and decrepitation of organic and inorganic materials
such as rock, ore, and metal. Dusts do not tend to
flocculate, except under electrostatic forces. A fume is an
airborne dispersion consisting of small solid particles
created by condensation fromagaseousstate,indistinction
to a gas or vapor. Fumes arise from the heating of solids
such as lead. The condensation is often accompanied by
a chemical reaction, such as oxidation. Fumes flocculate
and sometimes coalesce.
Manufacturing qualifiers. Two of the entries to the
section 313 toxic chemical list contain a qualifier relating
to manufacture. For isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier is
"manufacturing strong acid process." For saccharin,
the qualifier simply is "manufacturing." For isopropyl
alcohol, the qualifier means that only facilities manufac-
turing isopropyl alcohol by the strong acid process are
required to report. In the case of saccharin, only manu-
facturers of the toxic chemical are subject to the reporting
requirements. A facility that processes or otherwise uses
either toxic chemical would not be required to report for
those toxic 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 "solu-
tion," which refers to the physical state of these toxic
chemicals. Solid, molten, and pelletized forms of these
toxic chemicals are exempt from threshold and release
determinations. Only facilities that manufacture, pro-
cess, or otherwise use these toxic chemicals in the form of
a solution are required to report. Supplier notification
applies only if the toxic chemical is distributed as a
solution.
Phosphorus (yellow or white). The listing for phospho-
rus 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. Conversely, 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.
Asbestos (friable). The listing for asbestos is qualified by
the term "friable," referring to the physical characteristic
of being able to be 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 forms),, The listing for alu-
minum 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 applica-
tion. Only manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use
of aluminum oxide in the fibrous form triggers reporting.
Supplier notification applies only to distribution of mix-
tures or trade name products containing fibrous forms of
aluminum oxide.
10 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
B.4 Threshold Determination
Section 313 reporting is required if threshold quantities
are exceeded. Separate thresholds apply to the amount of
the toxic chemical that is manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used.
You must submit a report for any listed toxic chemical
that is manufactured or processed at your facility in
excess of the following threshold:
25,000 pounds during the course of a calendar
year.
You must submit a report if the quantity of a listed toxic
chemical that is otherwise used at your facility exceeds:
10,000 pounds during the course of a calendar
year.
B.4.a How to Determine If Your Facility Has
Exceeded Thresholds
To determine whether your facility has exceeded a section
313 reporting threshold, compare quantities of listed
toxic chemicals that you manufacture, process, or other-
wise use to the respective thresholds for those activities.
A worksheet is provided in Figure 2 to assist facilities in
determining whether they exceed any of the reporting
v 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.
Complete a separate worksheet for each section 313 toxic
chemical or chemical category. Base your threshold
determination for listed toxic chemicals with qualifiers
only on the quantity of the toxic chemical satisfying 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
throughout the facility. Pure forms as well as the amounts
of the toxic 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 toxic chemical is used
must be identified because separate thresholds apply to
each of these activities. A record of the information
source(s) used should be kept. Possible information
sources include purchase records, inventory data, and
calculations by a process engineer. The data collected in
Step 1 will be totalled for each activity to identify the
overall amount of the toxic chemical or chemical category
manufactured (including imported), processed, or other-
wise used.
Step 2 allows you to identify uses of the toxic chemical or
chemical category that were included in Step 1 but are
exempt under section 313. Do not include in Step 2
exempt forms of the toxic chemical not included in the
calculations in Step 1. For example, if freon contained in
the building's air conditioners was not reported in Step 1
, you would not include the amount as exempt in Step 2.
Step 2 is intended for use when one former use of the toxic
chemical is exempt while other forms require reporting.
Note the type of exemption for future reference. Also
identify, if applicable, the fraction or percentage of the
toxic chemical present that is exempt. Add the amounts
in each activity to obtain a subtotal for exempted amounts
of the toxic 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 exceeded for any of the three activities, a facility must
submit a Form R for that toxic chemical or chemical
category. This worksheet should be retained in either
case to document your determina tion for reporting or not
reporting, but should not be submitted with the report.
Do not sum quantities of the toxic chemical that are
manufactured, processed, and otherwise used at your
facility,becauseeachof these activities requires a separate
threshold determination. For example, if in a calendar
year you processed 20,000 pounds of a chemical and you
otherwise used 6,000 pounds of that same toxic 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 toxic chemical or chemical category. For ex-
ample, if your facility processes 22,000 pounds of a listed
toxic chemical and also otherwise uses 16,000 pounds of
that same toxic chemical, it has exceeded the otherwise
used threshold (10,000 pounds) and your facility must
report even though it did not exceed the process thresh-
old. However, in preparing your reports, you must
consider all non-exempted activities and all releases of
the toxic chemical from your facility, not just releases
from the otherwise use activity.

threshol
12 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
Also note that threshold determinations are based upon
the actual amounts of a toxic chemical manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used over the course of the calen-
dar year. The threshold determination may not relate to
the amount of a toxic chemical brought on-site during the
calendar year. For example, if a stockpile of 100,000
pounds of a toxic chemical is present on-site but only
20,000 pounds is applied to a process, only the 20,000
pounds processed is counted toward a threshold deter-
mination, not the entire 100,000 pounds of the stockpile.
Threshold Determinations for On-Site Reuse/Recycle
Operations.
Threshold determinations of listed toxic chemicals that
are recycled or reused at the facility are based only on the
amount of the toxic 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
theyear. The facility has therefore "otherwise used" only
2,000 pounds of the covered toxic chemical and is not
required to report (unless there are other "otherwise use"
activities of ammonia which, when taken together, exceed
the reporting threshold). If, however, the whole refrig-
eration unit was recharged with 15,000 pounds of am-
monia during the year, the facility would exceed the
otherwise use threshold, and be required to report.
This exemption does not apply to toxic chemicals "re-
cycled" off-site and returned to a facility. Such toxic
chemicals returned to a facility are treated as the equiva-
lent 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 for a listing of these toxic
chemical categories. When reporting for one of these
toxic chemical categories, all individual members of a
category that are manufactured, processed, or otherwise
used must be counted. However, threshold determina-
tions must be made separately for each of the three
activities. Do not include in these threshold determina-
tions for a category any chemicals that are also specifically
listed section 313 toxic chemicals (see Table II) or specific
toxic chemicals that have been deleted from the category
(e.g., three compounds deleted from copper compound
category see the introduction to these instructions).
Specifically listed toxic chemicals are subject to their own,
individual threshold determination.
Threshold determinations for metal-containing com-
pounds present a special case. If, for example, your
facility processes several different lead compounds, base
your threshold determination on the total weight of all
lead compounds processed. However, if your facility
processes both the "parent" metal (lead) as well as one or
more lead compounds, you must make threshold deter-
minations for both because they are separately listed toxic
chemicals. If your facility exceeds 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 com-
pounds and one for chromium compounds. Apply the
total weight of the lead chromate to the threshold deter-
minations for both lead compounds and chromium
compounds. However, only the amount of each parent
metal released (not the amount of the compound) would
be reported on the appropriate sections of both Form Rs.
B.4.b Mixtures and Trade Name Products
Toxic chemicals contained in mixtures and trade name
products must be factored into threshold and release
determinations.
If your facility processed or otherwise used mixtures or
trade name products during the calendar year, you are
required to use the best information available to determine
whether the components of a mixture are above the de
minimis concentration and, therefore, must be included
in threshold and releasedeterminations. If you know that
a mixture or trade name product contains a specific toxic
chemical, combine the amount of the toxic chemical in the
mixture or trade name product wi Ih other amounts of the
same toxic chemical processed or otherwise used at your
facility for threshold and release determinations. If you
know that a mixture contains a toxic chemical but no
concentration information is provided by the supplier,
you do not have to consider the amount of the toxic
chemical present in that mixture for purposes of thresh-
old and release determinations.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 13
-------
Example 5: Mixture and Trade Name Products
Scenario #1: Your facility uses 12,000 pounds of an industrial solvent (Solvent X) for equipment cleaning. The
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the solvent indicates that it contains at least 50 percent methyl ethyl ketone
(MEK), a listed toxic chemical; however, it also states that the solvent contains 20 percent non-hazardous
surfactants. This is the only MEK-containing chemical used at the facility.
Follow these steps to determine if the quantity of the toxic chemical in solvent X exceeds the threshold for otherwise
use.
1) Determine a reasonable maximum concentration for the toxic chemical by subtracting out the non-
hazardous surfactants (i.e., 100%-20% = 80%).
2) Determine the midpoint between the known minimum (50%) and the reasonable maximum calculated
above (i.e., (80%-50%)/2 + 50% = 65%).
3) Multiply total weight of Solvent X otherwise used by 65 percent.
12,000 pounds x 0.65 = 7,800 pounds
4) Because the total amount of MEK otherwise used at the facility was less than the 10,000 pound otherwise
use threshold, the facility is not required to file a Form R for MEK.
Scenario #2: Your facility otherwise used 15,000 pounds of Solvent Y to clean printed circuit boards. The MSDS
for the solvent lists only that Solvent Y contains at least 80% of a listed toxic chemical which is only identified as
chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Follow these steps to determine if the quantity of the toxic chemical in solvent exceeds the threshold for otherwise
use.
1) Because the specific chemical is unknown, the Form R will be filed for "chlorinated Ivydrocarbons." This
name will be entered into Part II, Section 2.1, "Mixture Component Identity." (Note: Because your supplier
is claiming the toxic chemical identity a trade secret, you do not have to file substantiation forms.)
2) The upper bound limit is assumed to be 100 percent and the lower bound limit is known to be 80 percent.
Using this information, the specific concentration is estimated to be 90 percent (i.e,, the mid-point between
upper and lower limits).
(1.0+ 0.80) / 2 = 0.90
3) The total weight of Solvent Y is multiplied by 90 percent when calculating for thresholds.
15,000x0.90 = 13,500
4) Because the total amount of chlorinated hydrocarbons exceeds the 10,000 pound otherwise used threshold,
you must file a Form R for this chemical.
14. Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and. Instructions
-------
Observe the following guidelines in estimating concen-
trations of toxic chemicals in mixtures when only limited
information is available:
If you know the lower and upper bound concen-
trations of a toxic chemical in a mixture, use the
midpoint of these two concentrations for
threshold determinations.
If you know only the lower bound concentration,
you should subtract out the percentages of any
other known components to determine a rea-
sonable upper bound concentration, and then
determine a midpoint.
If you have no information other than the lower
bound concentration, calculate a midpoint as-
suming an upper bound concentration of 100%.
If you only know the upper bound concentration,
you must use it for threshold determinations.
In cases where you only have a concentration
range available, you should use the midpoint of
the range extremes.
D e Minimis Exemption. A listed toxic chemical does not
have to be considered if it is present in a mixture at a
concentration below a specified de minimis level. The de
minimis level is 1.0%, or 0.1% if the toxic chemical meets
the OSHA carcinogen standard. See Table II for the de
minimis value associated with each listed toxic chemical.
For mixtures that contain more than one member of a
listed toxic chemical category, the de minimis level applies
to the aggregate concentration of all such members and
not to each individually. EPA included the de minimis
exemption in therule as a burden-reducing step, primarily
because facilities are not likely to have information on the
presence of a toxic chemical in a mixture or trade name
product beyond that available in the product's MSDS.
The de minimis levels are consistent with OSHA re-
quirements for development of MSDS information con-
cerning composition.
For threshold determinations, the de minimis exemption
applies to:
A listed toxic chemical in a mixture or
trade name product received by the facility.
A listed toxic chemical manufactured during a
process where the toxic chemical remains in a
, mixture or trade name product distributed by the
facility.
The de minimis exemption does not apply to:
' A toxic chemical manufactured at the facility that
does not remain in a product distributed by the
facility. A threshold determination mustbe made
'. on the annual quantity of the toxic chemical
I 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
; toxic chemical, regardless of the concentration of
this toxic chemical in the waste.
In general, when the de minimis exemption applies to
threshold determinations and the concentration of the
toxic chemical in the mixture is below the de minimis
limitation, then you are not required to report releases
associated with the processing or otherwise use of the
toxic chemical in that mixture. Note that it is possible to
meet the threshold for a toxic 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 toxic chemical below the de
minimis level.
Application of the de minimis exemption to process
streams must also be reviewed. Mixtures containing
toxic chemicals can be added to a process or generated
within a process. A facility is required to consider and
report releases from the process once the de minimis
concentration level has been exceeded. All releases of the
toxic chemical from the process which occur after the de
minimis exemption has been exceeded are then subject to
reporting, regardless of whether or not the toxic chemical
concentration later falls to a level below the de minimis
exemption.
Supplier Notification. Beginning in 1989, suppliers of
facilities in SIC codes 20-39 are required to develop and
distribute a notice if the mixtures or trade name products
they manufacture or process, and subsequently distrib-
ute, contain listed toxic chemicals. These notices are dis-
tributed to other companies in SIC codes 20-39 or to
companies that sell or otherwise distribute the product to
facilities in SIC codes 20-39. If a MSDS is not required for
the mixture or trade name product, the notification must
be in written form (i.e., letter). Otherwise, the notice must
be incorporated into or attached to the MSDS for that
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 15
-------
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 toxic chemical or if it is discovered that a previous
no tice did not properly identify the toxic chemicals or the
percentage by weight. For more information on supplier
notification, see Appendix D.
If listed toxic chemical concentrations are 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 compo-
sition 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 a trade 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
II, Section 2 for more information.) If the listed toxic
chemical is present below the de minimis level, no notifi-
cation is required.

Section 4. Facility Identification
4.1 Facility Name and Location
Enter the name of your facility (plant site name or appro-
priatefadHtydesignation),streetaddress,mailingaddress,
city, county, state, and zip code in the space provided. Do
notuseapostofficeboxnumberasthestreetaddress. The
street address provided should be the location where the
toxic chemicals are manufactured, processed, or otherwise
used. If your mailing address and street address are the
same, enter NA in the space for the mailing address.
If you have submitted a Form R for previous reporting
years, a TRI Facility Identification Number has been
assigned to your facility. The TRI Facility Identification
Number appears (with other facility-specific informa-
tion) on the peel-off mailing label on the cover of this
Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Instructions for 1992.
Remove the mail ing label from the back of this document
and apply it to the space marked "place label here" in Part
I, Section 4.1 of the blank Form R.
If your mailing label is missing information required on
Form R, insert that information in the appropriate box in
PartI,Section4.1. Forexample,if your label containsyour
street address and not your mailing address, enter your
mailing address in the space provided.
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 "NA" in the space for the TRI Facility Identification
number if this is your first submission of a Form R.
4.2 Full or Partial Facility Indication
A covered facility must report all releases and source
reduction and recyclingactivities of a listed toxic chemical
if it meets a reporting threshold for that toxic chemical.
However, if the facility is composed of several distinct
establishments,EPAallowstheseestablishments to submit
separate reports for the toxic chemical as long as all
releases of the toxic chemical from the entire facility are
accounted for. IndicateinSection4.2 whetheryour report
is for the entire covered facility as a whole or for part of a
covered facility. Check box (a) if the toxic chemical
information applies to the entire covered facility. Check
box (b) if the toxic 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 estab-
lishments in your facility, provided all releases and source
reduction and recycling activities involving the toxic
chemical from the entire facility are reported. This allows
you the option of reporting separately on the activities
involving a toxic chemical at each establishment, or group
of establishments (e.g., part of a covered facility), rather
than submitting a single Form R for that toxic chemical for
the entire facility. However, if an establishment or group
of establishments does not manufacture, process, or
otherwise use or release a toxic chemical, you do not have
to submit a report for that establishment or group of
establishments. (See also Section B.2.a of these instruc-
tions.)
4.3
Technical Contact
Enter the name and telephone number (including area
code) of a technical representative whom EPA or State
officials may contact for clarification 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.
4.4
Public Contact
Enter the 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 4.3" 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. If this space is left blank,
the technical contact will be listed as the public contact in
the TRI database.
18 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
4.5
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 4.8 EPA Identification Number
Enter the appropriate 4-digit primary Standard Indus-
trial Classification (SIC) code for your facility (Table I 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 starting with the primary
SIC code for the entire facility. 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.
4.6 Latitude and Longitude
Enter the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of your
facility. Sources of these data include EPA permits (e.g.,
NPDES permits), county property records, facility blue-
prints, and site plans. Instructions on how to determine
these coordinates can be found in Appendix E. Enter only
numerical data. Do not preface numbers with letters such
as N or W to denote the hemisphere.
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
encourages facilities to make the best possible measure-
ments when determining latitude and longitude. As with
any other data field, missing, suspect, or incorrect data
may generate a Notice of Technical Error to be issued to
the facility. (See Appendix C: Common Errors in Com-
pleting Form R Reports).
4.7
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
purposes. This number may be available from your
facility's treasurer or financial 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) 882-7748 (8:30 am to
8:00 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 establishments have
been assigned Dun and Bradstreet numbers, enter those
numbers in Part I, Section 4.7.
The EPA I.D. Number is a 12-character number assigned
to facilities covered by hazardous waste regulations un-
der the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
Facilities not covered by RCRA are not likely to have an
assigned I.D. Number. If your facility 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 4.8.
4.9
NPDES Permit Number
Enter the numbers of any permits your facility 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-character per-
mit number is assigned to your facility by EPA or the State
under the authority of the Clean Water Act. If your
facility does not have a permit, enter not applicable, NA,
in Section 4.9a.
4.10 Underground Injection Well Code (UIC) Iden-
tification Number
If your facility has a permit to inject a waste containing the
toxic chemical into Class 1 deep wells, enter the 12-digit
Underground Injection Well Code (UIC) identification
number assigned 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 Section4.10a. You are only required to provide the UIC
number for wells that receive the toxic chemical being
reported.
Section 5. 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 directly owns at least 50 percent of the voting stock of
your company. If your facility 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 throughout the country
whose names begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem
Corporation would be listed as the parent company.

Enter the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry
number in Section 1.1 exactly as it appears in Table II for
the chemical being reported. CAS numbers are cross-
referenced with an alphabetical list of chemical names in
Table II of these instructions. If you are reporting one of
the toxic chemical categories in Table II (e.g., chromium
compounds), enter the applicable category code in the
CAS number space. Toxic chemical category codes are
listed below and can also be found in Table II.
Toxic Chemical Category Codes
N010 Antimony compounds
N020 Arsenic compounds
N040 Barium compounds
N050 Berylium compounds
N078 Cadmium compounds
N084 Clorophenols
N090 Chromium compounds
N096 Cobalt compounds
N100 Copper compounds
N106 Cyanide compounds
N230 Glycol ethers
N420 Lead compounds
N450 Manganese compounds
N458 Mercury compounds
N495 Nickel compounds
N575 Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
N725 Selenium compounds
N740 Silver compounds
N760 Thallium compounds
N982 Zinc compounds
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report
the CAS number or category code on your unsanitized
Form R and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not
include the CAS number or category code on your
sanitized Form R or sanitized substantiation form.
1.2 Toxic Chemical or Chemical Category Name
Enter the name of the toxic chemical or chemical category
exactly as it appears in Table II. If the toxic 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). If the listed toxic chemi-
cal identity is actually a product trade name (e.g., dicofol),
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
toxic chemical category. For example, if you use silver
nitrate, do not report silver nitrate with its CAS number.
Report this chemical as "silver compounds" with its
category code, N740.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report
the specific toxic chemical identity on your unsanitized
Form R and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not
report the name of the toxic chemical on your sanitized
Form R or sanitized substantiation form. Include a ge-
neric name in Part II, Section 1.3 of your sanitized Form
R report.
EPA requests that the toxic chemical, chemical category,
or generic name also be placed in the box marked "Chemi-
cal, Category, or Generic Name" in the upper right-hand
corner on all pages of Form R. While this space is not a
required data element, providing this information will
help you in preparing a complete Form R report.
1.3
Generic Chemical Name
Complete Section 1.3 only if you are claiming the specific
toxic chemical identity of the toxic chemical as a trade
secret and have marked the trade secret block in Part I,
Section 2.1 on page 1 of Form R. Enter a generic chemical
name that is descriptive of the chemical structure. You
must limit the generic name to seventy characters (e.g.,
numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation) or less. Do not
enter mixture names in Section 1.3; see Section 2 below.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 21
-------
In-house plant codes and other substitute names that are
not structurally descriptive of the toxic 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 forms.
Section 2. Mixture Component Identity
Do not complete this section if you have completed
Section 1 of Part II. Report the generic name provided to
you by your supplier in this section if your supplier is
claiming the chemical identity proprietary or trade se-
cret. Do not answer "yes" in Part I, Section 2.1 on page
1 of the form if you complete this section. You do not need
to supply trade secret substantiation forms for this toxic
chemical because it is your supplier who is claiming the
chemical identity a trade secret.
2.1 Generic Chemical Name Provided by
Supplier
Enter the generic chemical name in this section only if the
following-three conditions apply:
1.
2.
3.
You determine that the mixture contains a listed
toxic chemical but the only identity you have for
that chemical is a generic name;
You know either the specific concentration of
that toxic chemical component or a maximum or
average concentration level; and
You multiply the concentration level by the total
annual amount of the whole mixture processed
or otherwise used and determine that you meet
the process or otherwise use threshold for that
single, generically identified mixture compo-
nent.
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 "chlori-
na ted aromatic," their generic name for a toxic chemi-
cal subject to reporting under section 313. You
therefore know that you have used 16,000 pounds of
some listed toxic chemical which exceeds the "other-
wise use" threshold. You would file a Form R and
enter the name "chlorinated aromatic" in the space
provided in Part II, Section 2.
Section 3. Activities and Uses of the Toxic
Chemical at the Facility
Indicate whether the toxic 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. Report
activities that take place only at your facility, not activi-
ties that take place at other facilities involving your
products. You must check all the boxes in this section that
apply. If you are a manufacturer of the toxic chemical,
you must check (a) and/or (b)7 and at least one of (c), (d),
(e), or (f) in Section 3.1. Refer to the definitions of
"manufacture," "process," and "otherwise use" in the
general information section of these instructions or Part
40, Section 372.3 of the Code of Federal Regulations for
additional explanations.
3.1
Manufacture the Toxic Chemical
Persons who manufacture (including import) the toxic
chemical must check at least one of the following:
a. Produce - the toxic chemical is produced at the
facility.
b. Import - the toxic chemical is imported by the
facility into the Customs Territory of the United
States. (See Section B.3.a of these instructions for
further clarification of import.)
And check at least one of the following:
c. For on-site use/processing - the toxic chemical is
produced or imported and then further pro-
cessed or otherwise used at the same facility. If
you check this block, you must also check at least
one item in Part II, Section 3.2 or 3.3.
d. For sale/distribution - the toxic chemical is pro-
duced or imported specifically for sale or distri-
bution outside the manufacturing facility.
e. As a byproduct - the toxic chemical is produced
coincidentally during the production, process-
ing, otherwise use, or disposal of another chemi-
t cal substance or mixture and, following its
production, is separated from that other chemi-
cal substance or mixture. Toxic chemicals pro-
duced and released as a result of waste treatment
or disposal are also considered byproducts.
22 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
f. As an impurity - the toxic 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 chemical.
3.2 Process the Toxic Chemical (incorporative
activities)
a. As a reactant - A natural or synthetic toxic chemi-
cal used in chemical reactions for the manufac-
ture of another chemical substance or of a product.
Includes, but is not limited to, feedstocks, raw
materials, intermediates, and initiators.
b. As a formulation component - A toxic 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 prod-
uct. Examples of toxic chemicals used in this
capacity include, but are not limited to, addi-
tives, dyes, reaction diluents, initiators, solvents,
inhibitors, emulsifiers, surfactants, lubricants,
flame retardants, and Theological modifiers.
c. As an article component - A toxic chemical that
becomes an integral component of an article
distributed for industrial, trade, or consumer
use. One example is the pigment components of
paint applied to a chair that is sold.
d. Repackaging - Processing or preparation of a toxic
chemical (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 containers such as cans or bottles.
3.3 Otherwise Use the Toxic Chemical (non-
incorporative activities)
a. Asa chemical processing aid - A toxic chemical that
is added to a reaction mixture to aid in the
manufacture or synthesis of another chemical
', substance but is not intended to remain in or
i become part of the product or product mixture.
Examples of such toxic chemicals include, but
are not limited to, process solvents, catalysts,
inhibitors, initiators, reaction terminators, and
solution buffers.
b. As a manufacturing aid- A toxic chemical that aids
the manufacturing process but does not become
part of the resulting product and is not added to
the reaction mixture during the manufacture or
synthesis of another chemical substance. Ex-
amples include, but are not limited to, process
lubricants, metalworking fluids, coolants, re-
frigerants, and hydraulic fluids.
c. Ancillary or other use - A toxic chemical that is
used at a facility for purposes other than aiding
chemical processing or manufacturing as de-
scribed above. Examples include, but are not
limited to, cleaners, degreasers, lubricants, fuels,
and toxic chemicals used for treating wastes.
Example 7: Activities and Uses of Toxic Chemicals
In the example below, it is assumed that the threshold quantities for manufacture, process, or otherwise use
(25,000 pounds, 25,000 pounds, and 10,000 pounds, respectively, for calendar year 1991) have been exceeded and
the reporting of listed toxic chemicals is therefore required.
Your facility manufactures sulfuric acid. Fifty percent is sold as a product. The remaining 50 percent is reacted
with naphthalene, forming phthalic acid and also producing sulfur dioxide fumes.
Your company manufactures sulfuric acid, a listed toxic chemical, both for sale/distribution as a
commercial product and for on-site use/processing as a feedstock in the phthalic acid production
process. Because the sulfuric acid is a reactant, it is also processed. See Figure 3 for how this information
would be reported in Part II, Section 3 of Form R.
Your facility also processes naphthalene, as a reactant to produce phthalic acid, a chemical not on the
section 313 list.

Section 4. Maximum Amount of the Toxic
Chemical On-Site at Any Time
During the Calendar Year
For data element 4.1 of Part II, insert the code (see below)
that indicates the maximum quantity of the toxic chemi-
cal (e.g., in storage tanks, process vessels, on-site ship-
ping containers) at your facility at any time during the
calendar year. If the toxic chemical was present at several
locations within your facility, use the maximum total
amount present at the entire facility at any one time.

If the toxic chemical present at your facility was part of
a mixture or trade name product, determine the maxi-
mum quantity of the toxic chemical present at the facility
by calculating the weight percent of the toxic chemical
only.
Do not include the weight of the entire mixture or trade
name product. This data may be found in the Tier II form
your facility may have prepared under Section 312 of
EPCRA. See Part 40, Section 372.30(b) of the Code of
Federal Regulations for further information on how to
calculate the weight of the toxic chemical in the mixture
or trade name product. For toxic chemical categories
(e.g., nickel compounds), include all chemical compounds
in the category when calculating the maximum amount,
using the entire weight of each compound.
Section 5. Releases of the Toxic Chemical to the
Environment On-Site
In Section 5, you must account for the total aggregate
releases of the toxic chemical to the environment from
your facility for the calendar year.
Do not enter the values in Section 5 in gallons, tons, liters,
or any measure other than pounds. You must also enter
the values as whole numbers. Numbers following a
decimal point are not acceptable.
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), you must check the
"NA" box or enter zero; do not leave any part of Section
5 blank. Check the box on the last line of this section if you
use the additional space for Section 5.3 on page 5 of the
Form.
You are not required to count, as a release, quantities of
a toxic chemical that are lost due to natural weathering or
corrosion, normal/natural degradation of a product, or
normal migration of a toxic chemical from a product. For
example, amounts of a listed toxic chemical that migrate
from plastic products in storage do not have to be
counted in estimates of releases of that toxic chemical
from the facility. Also, amounts of listed metal com-
pounds (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 releases of the toxic chemical to the air must be
classified as either a point or non-point emission, and
included in the total quantity reported for these releases
in Sections 5.1 and 5.2. 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 of the toxic chemical 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 connections, open-ended
lines, etc.; (2) evaporative losses from surface impound-
ments and spills; (3) releases from building ventilation
systems; and (4) any other fugitive or non-point air
emissions. Engineering estimates and mass balance
calculations (using purchase records, inventories, engi-
neering knowledge or process specifications of the quan-
tity of the toxic chemical entering product, hazardous
waste manifests, or monitoring records) may be useful in
estimating fugitive emissions.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 25
-------
5.2 Stack or Point Air Emissions
Report the total of all releases of the toxic chemical 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 equip-
ment would generally fall in this category. Monitoring
data, engineering estimates, and mass balance calcula-
tions may help you to complete this section.
5.3 Discharges to Receiving Streams or Water
Bodies
In Section 5.3 you are to enter the name(s) of the stream(s)
or water body(ies) to which your facility directly dis-
charges the toxic chemical on which you are reporting. A
to tal of three spaces are provided; however, o ther streams
or water bodies to which the toxic chemical is discharged
can be reported in the additional spaces for Section 5.3
found on page 5 of Form R. Enter the name of each
receiving stream or surface water body to which the toxic
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, enter the name of the
off-site stream or water body by which it is publicly
known. Do not list a series of streams through which the
toxic chemical flows. Be sure to include the receiving
strcam(s) or water body(ies) that receive stormwater
runoff from your facility. Do not enter names of streams
to which off-site treatment plants discharge. Enter "NA"
in Section 5.3.1. if you do not discharge the listed toxic
chemical to surface water bodies.
Enter the total annual amount of the toxic 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
wastewatertreatmentsystems,andthecontributionfrom
stormwater runoff, if applicable (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
II, Section 6 of Form R.
Wastewater analyses and flowmeter data may provide
the quantities you will need to complete this section.
Discharges of listed acids (e.g., hydrogen fluoride; hy-
drogen chloride; nitric acid; phosphoric acid; and sulfu-
ric acid) may be reported as zero if the discharges have
been neutralized to pH 6 or above. If wastewater contain-
ing a listed mineral acid is discharged below pH 6, then
releases of the mineral acid must be reported. In this case,
pH measurements may be used to estimate the amount
of mineral acid released.
If you must report more than three discharges to receiv-
ing streams or water bodies, check the box at the bottom
of page 4 and enter the additional information on the
following page, in Section 5.3, Additional Information on
Releases of the Toxic Chemical to the Environment On-
Site. In Section 5.3 on page 5, blanks in the data elements
are provided so you may continue the numeration you
began on page 4.
5.4 Underground Injection On-Site
Enter the total annual amount of the toxic chemical that
was injected into all wells, including Class I wells, at the
facility. Chemical analyses, injection rate meters, and
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generators Reports are good
sources for obtaining data that will be useful in complet-
ing this section. Check the Not Applicable "NA" box in
Section 5.4 if you do not inject the reported toxic chemical
into underground wells.
5.5 Releases to Land On-Site
Four predefined subcategories for reporting quantities
released to land within the boundaries of the facility are
provided. Do not report land disposal at off-site loca-
tions in this section. Accident histories and spill records
may be useful (e.g., release notification reports required
under Section 304 of EPCRA and accident histories
required under Section 112(r)(7)(B)(ii) of the Clean Air
Act).
5.5.1 LandfillTypically, 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 chemical in the landfill has already been reported as
a release. ;
5.5.2 Land treatment/application farmingLand treat-
ment is a disposal method in which a waste containing a
listed toxic chemical is applied onto or incorporated into
soil. While this disposal method is considered a release
to land, any volatilization of listed toxic chemicals into
the air occurring during the disposal operation must be
included in the total fugitive air releases reported in Part
II, Section 5.1 of Form R.
5.5.3 Surface impoundmentA surface impoundment
is a natural topographic depression, man-made excava-
tion, or diked area formed primarily of earthen materials
26 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
(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 im-
poundment used as a final disposal method.
Quantities of the toxic chemical released to surface im-
poundments that are used merely as part of a wastewater
treatment process generally must not be reported in this
section. However, if the impoundment accumulates
sludges containing the toxic chemical, you must include
an estimate in this section unless the sludges are removed
and otherwise disposed (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 Form R.
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 im-
poundment. This other disposal would include any
spills or leaks of listed toxic chemicals to land. For
example, 2,000 pounds of benzene leaks from a under-
ground pipeline into the land at a facility. Because 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 (Part II, Section 5.1) and the remain-
ing 1,400 pounds would be reported as a release to land,
other disposal (Part II, Section 5.5.4).
S.Columrt A Total Release
Only on-site releases of the toxic chemical to the environ-
ment for the calendar year are to be reported in this
section of Form R. The total releases from your facility do
not include transfers or shipments of the toxic chemical
from your facility for sale or distribution in commerce, or
of wastes to other facilities for waste treatment, recy-
cling, disposal, or energy recovery (see Part II, Section 6
of these Instructions). Both routine releases, such as
fugitive air emissions, 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 1,000 Pounds. For total annual
releases or off-site transfers of a toxic chemical from the
facility of less than 1,000 pounds, the amount may be
reported either as an estimate or by using the range codes
that have been developed. The reporting range codes to
be used are:
Code
A
B
C
Range (pounds)
1-10
11-499
500-999
Do not enter a range code and an estimate in the same box
in column A. 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 enter the range code "A" for
"1-10" or enter "1" in column A. If the release is less than
0.5 pounds, you may round to zero and enter "0" in
column A.
Note that total annual releases of less than 0.5 pounds
from the processing or otherwise use of an article main-
tain 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 toxic 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 the 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 have occurred to a specific;
media or off-site location. If a release to a specific media
or off-site location could have occurred, but either did
not occur or the 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's processing activities but the facility neutralizes
the wastes to a pH of 6 or above, then the facility reports
a 0 release for the toxic chemical. If the facility has no
underground injection well, "NA" would be written in
Part I, Section 4.10 and checked in Part II, Section 5.4 of
Form R. Also, if the facility does not landfill the acidic
waste, NA would be checked in Part II, Section 5.5.1 of
Form R.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 27
-------
Releases of 1,000 Pounds or More. For releases to any
medium that amount to 1,000 pounds or more for the
year, you must provide an estimate in pounds per year in
column A. Any estimate provided in column A should
be reported to no more than two significant figures. This
estimate should be in whole numbers. Do not use
decimal points.
Calculating Releases. To provide the release informa-
tion required in column A 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 measure-
ments are not readily available, reasonable estimates of
the amounts released must be made using published
emission factors, material balance calculations, or engi-
neering calculations. You may not use emission factors
or calculations to estimate releases if more accurate data
arc available.
No additional monitoring or measurement of the quan-
tities or concentrations of any toxic chemical released
into the environment, or of the frequency of such re-
leases, beyond that which is required under other provi-
sions of law or regulation or as part of routine plant
operations, is required for the purpose of completing
Form R.
You mustestimate,asaccuratelyas possible, the quantity
(in pounds) of the toxic chemical or chemical category
thatis released annually to each environmental medium.
Include only the quantity of the toxic chemical 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 toxic chemical, not the other compo-
nents of the mixture or trade name product. If you are
only able to estimate the releases of the mixture or trade
name product as a whole, you must assume that the
release of the toxic chemical is proportional to its concen-
tration in the mixture or trade name product. See Part 40,
Section 372.30(b) of the Code of Federal Regulations for
further information on how to calculate the concentra-
tion and weight of the toxic chemical in the mixture or
trade name product.
If you are reporting a toxic chemical category listed in
Table II of these instructions rather than a specific toxic
chemical, you must combine the release data for all
chemicals in the listed toxic chemical category (e.g., all
glycol ethers or all chlorophenols) and report the aggre-
gate amount for that toxic chemical category. Do not
report releases of each individual toxic chemical in that
category separately. For example, if your facility releases
3,000 pounds per year of 2-chlorophenol, 4,000 pounds
per year of 3-chlorophenol, and 4,000 pounds per year of
4-chlorophenol to air as fugitive emissions, you should
report that your facility releases 11,000 pounds per year
of chlorophenols to air as fugitive emissions in Part II,
Section 5.1.
For listed toxic 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 toxic chemical in solu-
tion, not the amount of solution.
For metal compound categories (e.g., chromium com-
pounds), report releases of only the parent metal. For
example, a user of various inorganic chromium salts
would report the total chromium released 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.
S.Column B Basis of Estimate
For each release estimate, you are required to indicate the
principal method used to determine the amount of re-
lease reported. You will enter a letter code that identifies
the method that applies to the largest portion of the total
estimated release quantity.
The codes are as follows:
M- Estimate is based on monitoring data or mea-
surements for the toxic chemical as transferred
to an off-site facility.
C- Estimate is based on mass balance calculations,
such as calculation of the amount of the toxic

Example 8: Calculating Releases and Transfers
Your facility disposes of 14,000 pounds of lead chromate (PbCrO4.PbO) in an on-site landfill and transfers 16,000
pounds of lead selenite (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 released or transferred off-
site. All quantities are based on mass balance calculations (See Section 5.B for information on Basis of Estimate
and Section 6.C for waste treatment or disposal codes and information on transfers of toxic chemicals in 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) -
Lead 2Pb-
Chromium 1 Cr -
Lead chromate is therefore (% by weight)
Molecular weight = 546.37
Molecular weight = 207.2 x 2 = 414.4
Molecular weight = 51.996
(414.4/546.37)
(51.996/546.37)
Lead Selenite (PbSeO4)
Lead 1 Pb
Selenium 1 Se
Lead selenite is therefore (% by weight)
75.85% lead and
9.52% chromium
Molecular weight = 350.17
Molecular weight = 207.2
Molecular weight = 78.96
(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 selenite (round to 9,500 pounds)
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 round to 3,600 pounds)
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 29
-------
O- Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating vola-
tilization using published mathematical formu-
las) or best engineering judgment. This would
includeapplyinganestimated removal efficiency
to a treatment, even if the composition of the
waste before treatment was fully identified
through monitoring data.
For example, if 40 percent of stack emissions of the
reported toxic chemical 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.
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, but the quantity of reported toxic chemical in the
waste is based on solubility data, report "O" because
"engineering calculations" were used as the basis of
estimate of the quantity of the toxic chemical in the waste.
If the concentration of the toxic chemical in the waste was
measured by monitoring equipment and the flow rate of
the waste was determined by mass balance, then the
primary basis of the 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.
Mass balance (C) should only be indicated if it is directly
used to calculate the mass (weight) of toxic chemical
released. Monitoring data should be indicated as the
basis of estimate only if the toxic chemical concentration
is measured in the waste being released into the environ-
ment. Monitoring data should not be indicated, for
example, if the monitoring data relates to a concentration
of the toxic chemical in other process streams within the
facility.
11 is important to realize that the accuracy and proficiency
of release estimation will improve over time. However,
submitters are not required to use new emission factors
or estimation techniques to revise previous Form R
submissions.
S.Column C Percent From Stormwater
This column relates only to Section 5.3 discharges to
receiving streams or water bodies. If your facility has
monitoring data on the amount of the toxic chemical in
Stormwater runoff (including unchanneled runoff), you
must include that quantity of the toxic chemical in your
water release in column A and indica te the percentage of
the total quantity (by weight) of (the toxic chemical
contributed by Stormwater in column C (Section 5.3C).
If your facility has monitoring data on the toxic 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
toxic chemical, enter zero (0) in column C. If your facility
has no Stormwater monitoring; data for the chemical,
enter not applicable, "NA," in this space on the form.
If your facility does not have periodic measurements of
Stormwater releases of the toxic chemical, but has sub-
mitted chemical-specific monitoring data in permit ap-
plications, 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 rain-
fall by the land area of the facility and then multiplying
that figure by the runoff coefficient. The runoff coeffi-
cient represents the fraction of rainfall that does not seep
into the ground but runs off as Stormwater. The runoff
coefficient is directly related to hoAv the land in the
drainage area is used. (See table below.)

Example 9: Releases from Stormwater
Your Stormwater monitoring data shows that the average 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 water through
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 zinc = 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 on Form R.

where Ci = runoff coefficient for a specific

Section 6 Transfers of the Toxic Chemical in
Wastes to Off-Site Locations
You must report in this section the total annual quantity
of the toxic chemical in wastes sent to any off-site facility
for the purposes of waste treatment, disposal, recycling,
or energy recovery. Note that beginning withreporting
year 1991, off-site transfers for the purposes of recy-
cling and energy recovery are required to be reported.
Report the total amount of the toxic chemical transferred
off-site after any on-site waste treatment, recycling, or
removal is completed. Report zero for transfers of listed
mineral acids if they have been neutralized to a pH of 6 or
above prior to discharge to a Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTW).
If you do not discharge wastewater containing the re-
ported toxic chemical to a POTW, enter not applicable,
NA, in the box for the POTW's name in Section 6.1.B._. If
you do not ship or transfer wastes containing the re-
ported toxic chemical to other off-site locations, enter not
applicable, NA, in the box for the off-site location's EPA
Identification Number in Section 6.2._.
Important: Beginning with the 1991 reporting year, you
must number the boxes for reporting the information for
each POTW or other off-site location in Sections 6.1 and
6.2. In the upper left hand corner of each box, the section
number is either 6.1.B._ or 6.2._.
If you report a transfer of the listed toxic chemical to one
or more POTW, number the boxes in Section 6.1.B as
6.1.B/L, 6.1.B.2, etc. If you transfer the listed toxic chemi-
cal to more than two POTWs, photocopy page 5 of Form
R as many times as necessary and then number the boxes
consecutively for each POTW. At the bottom of page 5
you will find instructions for indicating the total number
of page 5s that you are submitting as part of Form R, as
well as indicating the sequence of those pages. For

Example 10: Stormwater Runoff
Your facility is located in a semi-arid region of the United States 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 equivalent to one inch of rain.) The total area covered by your facility is 42 acres (about 170,000 square
meters or 1,829,520 square feet). The area of your facility is 50 percent unimproved area, 10 percent asphaltic
streets, and 40 percent concrete pavement.
The total Stormwater runoff from your facility is therefore calculated as follows:
Land Use
Unimproved area
Asphaltic streets
Concrete pavement
Runoff
% Total Area Coefficient
50

0.20
0.85

Weighted-average runoff coefficient = (50%) x (0.20) + (10%) x (0.85) + (40%) x (0.90) = 0.545
(Rainfall) x (land area) x (conversion factor) x (runoff coefficient) = Stormwater runoff
(1 foot) x (1,829,520 fb) x (7.48 gal/fb) x (0.545) = 7,458,221 gallons/year
Total Stormwater runoff = 7.45 million gallons/year
example, your facility transfers the reported toxic chemi-
cal in wastewaters to three POTWs. You would photo-
copy page 5 once, indicate at the bottom of each page 5
that there are a total of two page 5s and then indicate the
first and second page 5. The boxes for the two POTWs on
the first page 5 would be numbered 6.1.B.iand 6.1.B.2,
while the box for the third POTW on the second page 5
would be numbered 6.I.B.3.
If you report a transfer of the listed toxic chemical to one
or more other off-site locations, number the boxes in
Section 6.2 as 6.2.1, 6.2.2, etc. If you transfer the listed
toxic chemical to more than two other off-site locations,
photocopy page 6 of Form R as many times as necessary
and then number the boxes consecutively for each off-site
location. At the bottom of page 6 you will find instruc-
tions for indicating the total number of page 6s that you
are submitting as part of Form R as well as indicating the
sequence of those pages. For example, your facility
transfers the reported toxic chemical to three other off-
site locations. You would photocopy page 6 once, indi-
cate at the bottom of each page 6 that there are a total of
l\vo page 6s and then indicate the first and second page
6. The boxes for the two off-site locations on the first page
6 would be numbered 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, while the box for
the third off-site location on the second page 6 would be
numbered 6.2.3..
6.1 Discharges to Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTW)
In Section 6.1.A, estimate the quantity of the reported
toxic chemical transferred to all POTWs and the basis
upon which the estimate was made. In Section 6.1.B,
enter the name and address for each POTW to which your
facility discharges wastewater containing the reported
toxic chemical.
If you do not discharge wastewater containing the re-
ported toxic chemical to a POTW, enter not applicable,
NA, in the box for the POTW's name in Section 6.1.B._.
6.1.A.1 Total Transfers
Enter the total amount, in pounds, of the reported toxic
chemical that is contained in the wastewaters transferred
to all POTWs. Do not enter the total poundage of the
wastewaters. If the total amount transferred is less than
1,000 pounds, you may report a range by entering the
appropriate range code. The following reporting range
codes are to be used:

6.1.A.2 Basis of Estimate
You must identify the basis for your estimate of the total
quantity of the reported toxic chemical in the wastewa-
ters transferred to all POTWs. Enter one of the following
letter codes that applies to the method by which the
largest percentage of the estimate was derived.
M- Estimate is based on monitoring data or mea-
surements for the toxic chemical as transferred
to an 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 pro-
cess 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 fac-
tors).
O - Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating vola-
tilization using published mathematical formu-
las) or best engineering judgment. This would
include applying an estimated removal efficiency
to a waste stream, even if the composition of the
stream before treatment was fully identified
through monitoring data.
If you transfer a toxic chemical to more than one POTW,
you should report the basis of estimate that was used to
determine the largest percentage of the toxic chemical
that was transferred.
off-site location where some of the toxic chemical is to be
recycled while the remainder of the quantity transferred
is to be treated, you must report both the waste treatment
and recycle activities, along with the quantity associated
with.each activity.
If you do not ship or transfer wastes containing the
reported toxic chemical to other off-site locations, enter
not applicable, NA, in the box for the off-site location's
EPA Identification Number in Section 6.2._. The EPA
Identification Number (defined in 40 CFR 260.10 and
therefore commonly referred to as the RCRA ID Num-
ber) may be found on the Uniform Hazardous Waste
Manifest, which is required by RCRA regulations. If you
ship or transfer wastes containing a toxic chemical and
the off-site location does not have an EPA Identification
Number (e.g., it does not accept RCRA hazardous wastes
or the wastes in question are not classified as hazardous),
enter NA in the box for the off-site location EPA Identi-
fication Number. If you ship or transfer the reported
toxic chemical in wastes to another country, enter the
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code
for that country in the county field of the address for the
off-site facility. The most commonly used FIPS codes are
listed below.
The following is an abridged list of countires to which a
U.S. facility might ship a listed toxic chemical. For a

You must distinguish between incineration, which is
always considered waste treatment, and combustion
where energy is actually recovered. When the reported
loxic chemical has a significant heat of combustion value,
and is transferred to an off-site location for combustion
in an industrial kiln, furnace, or boiler, report the quan-
tity as used for the purposes of energy recovery. How-
ever, toxic chemicals with little or no heat of combustion
value (e.g., metals, chlorofluorocarbons) must be re-
ported as treated.
6.2 column A Total Transfers
For each off-site location, enter the total amount, in
pounds, of the toxic chemical that is contained in the
waste transferred to that location. Do not enter the total
poundage of the waste. If the total amount transferred is
less than 1,000 pounds, you may report a range by
entering the appropriate range code. The following
reporting range codes are to be used:

If you transfer the toxic chemical in wastes to an off-site
facility for distinct and multiple purposes, you must
report those activities (up to four) for each off-site loca-
tion, along with the quantity of the reported toxic chemi-
cal associated with each activity. For example, your
facility transfers a total of 15,000 pounds of toluene to an
off-site location that will use 5,000 pounds for the pur-
poses of energy recovery, enter 7,500 pounds into a
recovery process, and dispose of the remaining 2,500
pounds. These quantities and the associated activity
codes must be reported separately in Section 6.2. (See
Figure 4 for a hypothetical Section 6.2 completed for two
off-site locations, one of which receives the transfer of
15,000 pounds of toluene as detailed.) If more than four
activities are performed on distinct quantities at the off-
site location, list the predominant four activities but still
report all quantities sent to the off-site location.
Do not double or multiple count amounts transferred off-
site. For example, when a reported toxic chemical is sent
to an off-site facility for sequential activities and the
specific quantities associated with each activity are un-
known, report only a single quantity (the total quantity
transferred to the off-site location) along with a single
activity code. In such a case, report the activity applied
to the majority of the reported toxic chemical sent off-site,
not the ultimate disposition of ;the toxic chemical. For
example, when a toxic chemical is first treated and then
recovered with the majority of the toxic chemical being
treated and only a fraction subsequently recovered,
report the appropriate waste treatment activity along
with the quantity.
6.2 column B Basis of Estimate
You must identify the basis for your estimates of the
quantities of the reported toxic chemical in wastes trans-
ferred to each off-site location. Enter one of the following
letter codes that applies to the method by which the
largest percentage of the estimate was derived.
M - Estimate is based on monitoring data or mea-
surements for the toxic chemical as transferred
to an off-site facility.
C - Estimate is based on mass balance calculations,
such as calculation of the amount of the toxic
chemical in wastes 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 fac-
tors).
O - Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating vola-
tilization using published mathematical formu-
las) or best engineering!judgment. This would
include applying an estimated removal efficiency
to a treatment, even if the composition of the
waste before treatment was fully identified
through monitoring data.
6.2 column C Type of Waste Treatment/Disposal/

waste treatment, disposal, recycling or energy recovery
methods used by the off-site location for the reported
toxic chemical. You must use more than one line and

code for a single location when distinct quantities of the
reported toxic chemical are subject to different waste
treatment, disposal, recycling, or energy recovery meth-
ods. You may have this information in your copy of EPA
Form SO, Item S of the Annual/Biennial Hazardous
Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Report (RCRA),
or in your invoices from the waste service(s) or broker(s)
receiving your wastes for the purposes of waste treat-
ment, disposal, recycling, or energy recovery.
You must distinguish between incineration, which is
waste treatment, and legitimate energy recovery. In
order for you to claim that a reported toxic chemical sent
off-site is used for the purposes of energy recovery and
not for waste treatment, the toxic chemical must have a
healing value high enough to sustain combustion and
mustbe combusted in an energy recovery unit such as an
Industrial boiler, furnace, or kiln. In a situation where the
reported toxic chemical is in a waste that is combusted in
an energy recovery unit, but the toxic chemical does not
have a heating value high enough to sustain combustion,
use code M54, Incineration/Insignificant Fuel Value, to
indicate that the toxic chemical was incinerated in an
energy recovery unitbut did not contribute to the heating
value of the waste (see Figure 4 for an example).

Section 7 On-Site Waste Treatment, Energy
Recovery and Recycling Methods
You must report in this section the methods of waste
treatment, energy recovery, and recycling applied to the
reported toxic chemical in wastes on-site. There are three
separate sections for reporting such activities.
Section 7A On-Site Waste Treatment Methods
and Efficiency
In Section 7A, you must provide the following informa-
tion if you treat the reported toxic chemical on-site:
(a) the general waste stream types containing the
toxic chemical being reported;
(b) the waste treatment method(s) or sequence used
on all waste streams containing the toxic chemi-
cal;
(c) the range of concentration of the toxic chemical
in the influent to the waste treatment method;
(d) the efficiency of each waste treatment method or
waste treatment sequence in removing the toxic
chemical; and
(e) whether the waste treatment efficiency figure
was based on actual operating data.
Use a separate line in Section 7A for each general waste
stream type. Report only information about treatment of
waste streams at your facility, not information about off-
site waste treatment.
If you do not perform on-site treatment of waste streams
containing the reported toxic chemical, check the Not
Applicable (NA) box at the top of Section 7A.
7A column a General Waste Stream
For each waste treatment method, indicate the type of
waste stream containing the toxic chemical that is treated.
Enter the letter code that corresponds to the general
waste stream type:
A Gaseous (gases, vapors, airborne particulates)
W Wastewater (aqueous waste)
L Liquid waste streams (non-aqueous waste)
S Solid waste streams (including sludges and
slurries)
36 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
If a waste is a mixture of water and organic liquid and the
organic content is less than 50 percent, report it as a
wastewater (W). Slurries and sludges containing water
must be reported as solid waste if they contain appre-
ciable 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 A column b Waste Treatment Method(s)
Sequence
Enter the appropriate code from the list below for each
on-site waste treatment method used on a waste stream
containing the toxic chemical, regardless of whether the
waste treatment method actually removes the specific
toxic chemical being reported. Waste treatment methods
must be reported for each type of waste stream being
treated (i.e., gaseous waste streams, aqueous waste
streams, liquid non-aqueous waste streams, and solids).
Except for the air emission treatment codes, the waste
treatment codes are not restricted to any medium.
Waste streams containing the toxic chemical may have a
single source or may be aggregates of many sources. For
example, process water from several pieces of equipment
at your facility may be combined prior to waste treat-
ment. Report waste treatment methods that apply to the
aggregate waste stream, as well as waste treatment
methods that apply to individual waste streams. If your
facility treats various wastewater streams containing the
toxic chemical in different ways, the different waste
treatment methods must be listed separately.
If your facility has several pieces of equipment perform-
ing a similar service in a waste treatment sequence, you
may combine the reporting for such equipment. It is not
necessary to enter four codes to cover four scrubber
units, for example, if all four are treating waste streams
of similar character (e.g., sulfuric acid mist emissions),
have similar influent concentrations, and have similar
removal efficiencies. If, however, any of these param-
eters differs from one unit to the next, each scrubber must
be listed separately.
If your facility performs more than eight sequential waste
treatment methods on a single general waste stream,
continue listing the methods in the next row and renumber
appropriately those waste treatment method code boxes
you used to continue the sequence. For example, if the
general waste stream in box 7A.la had nine treatment
methods applied to it, the ninth method would be indi-
cated in the first method box for row 7A.2a. The numeral
"\" would be crossed out, and a "9" would be inserted.
Treatment applied to any other general waste stream
types would then be listed in the next empty row. In the
scenario above, for instance, the second general waste
stream would be reported in row 7A.3a. See Figure 5
below for an example of a hypothetical Section 7A com-
pleted for a nine-step waste treatment process and a
single waste treatment method.
If you need additional space to report under Section 7A,
photocopy page 7 of Form R as many times as necessary.
At the bottom of page 7 you will find instructions for
indicating the total number of page 7s that you are
submitting as part of Form R, as well as instructions for
indicating the sequence of those pages.

7A column c Range of Influent Concentration
The form requires an indication of the range of concentra-
tion of the toxic chemical in the waste stream (i.e., the
influent) as it typically enters the waste treatment step or
sequence. The concentration is based on the amount or
mass of the toxic chemical in the waste stream as com-
pared to the total amount or mass of the waste stream.
Enter in the space provided one of the following code
numbers corresponding to the concentration of the toxic
chemical in the influent:
1 = Greater than 1 percent
2 = 100 parts per million (0.01 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 solidsand
liquids;
o cubic centimeters/cubic meter (volume/ volume)
for gases;
o milligrams/liter for solutions or dispersions of
the chemical in water; and.
o milligrams of chemical/kilogram of air for par-
ticulates in air.
If you have particulate concentrations (at standard tem-
perature and pressure) as grains/cubic foot of air, mul-
tiply by 1766.6 to convert to parts per million; if in
milligrams/cubic meter, multiply by 0.773 to obtain
parts per million. These conversion factors are for stan-
dard conditions of 0°C (32°F) and 760 mmHg atmo-
spheric pressure.

7A column d Waste Treatment Efficiency Estimate
In the space provided, enter the number indicating the
percentage of the toxic chemical removed from the waste
stream through destruction, biological degradation,
chemical conversion, or physical removal. The waste
treatment efficiency (expressed as percent removal) rep-
resents the percentage of the toxic chemical destroyed or
removed (based on amount or mass), not merely changes
in volume or concentration of the toxic chemical in the
waste stream. The efficiency, which can reflect the
overall removal from sequential treatment methods ap-
plied to the general waste stream, refers only to the
percent destruction, degradation, conversion, or removal
of the listed toxic chemical from the waste stream, not the
percent conversion or removal of other constituents in
the waste stream. The efficiency also does not refer to the
general efficiency of the treatment method for any waste
stream. For some waste treatment methods, the percent
removal will represent removal by several mechanisms,
as in an aeration basin, where a toxic chemical may
evaporate, be biodegraded, or be physically removed
from the sludge.
Percent removal can be calculated as follows:
(I-E) x 100, where
I
I = amount of the toxic chemical in the influent waste
stream (entering the waste treatment step or sequence)
and
E = amount of the toxic chemical in the effluent waste
stream (exiting the waste treatment step or sequence).
Calculate the amount of the toxic chemical in the influent
waste streamby multiplying the concentration (by weight)
of the toxic chemical in the waste stream by the total
amount or weight of the waste stream. In most cases, the
percent removal compares the treated effluent to the
influent for the particular type of waste stream. For
solidification of wastewater, the waste treatment effi-
ciency can be reported as 100 percent if no volatile toxic
chemicals were removed with the water or evaporated
into the air. Percent removal does not apply to incinera-
tion because the waste stream, such as wastewater or
liquids, may not exist in a comparable form after waste
treatment and the purpose of incineration as a waste
treatment is to destroy the toxic chemical by converting
it to carbon dioxide and water. In cases where the toxic
chemical is incinerated, the percent efficiency must be
based on the amount of the toxic chemical destroyed or
combusted, except for metals or metal compounds. In
the cases where a metal or metal compound is inciner-
ated, the efficiency is always zero for the parent metal.
Similarly, an efficiency of zero must be reported for any
waste treatment method(s) (e.g., evaporation) that does
not destroy, chemically convert, or physically remove
the toxic chemical from the waste stream.
For metal compounds, the calculation of the reportable
concentration and waste treatment efficiency must be
based on the weight of the parent metal, not on the weight
of the metal compounds. Metals are not destroyed, only
physically removed or chemically converted from one
form into another. The waste treatment efficiency re-
ported must represent only physical removal of the
parent metal from the waste stream (except for incinera-
tion), not the percent chemical conversion of the metal
compound. If a listed waste treatment method converts
but does not remove a metal (e.g., chromium reduction),
the method must be reported with a waste treatment
efficiency of zero.
Listed toxic chemicals that are strong mineral acids
neutralized to a pH of 6 or above are considered treated
at a 100 percent efficiency.
All data available at your facility must be used to calcu-
late waste treatment efficiency and influent toxic chemi-
cal concentration. If data are lacking, estimates must be
made using best engineering judgment or other methods.
7A column e Based on Operating Data?
This column requires you to indicate "Yes" or "No" to
whether the waste 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 typical operating conditions.
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."
Section 7B On-Site Energy Recovery Processes
In Section 7B, you must indicate the on-site energy
recovery methods used on the reported toxic chemical. If
you do not perform on-site energy recovery for the
reported toxic chemical, check the Not Applicable (NA)
box at the top of Section 7B.
40 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
Example 11: Reporting On-Site Energy Recovery
One waste stream generated by your facility contains,
among other chemicals, toluene and cadmium.
Threshold quantities are exceeded for both of these
toxic chemicals, and you would, therefore, submit
two separate Form R reports. This waste stream is
sent to an on-site industrial furnace which uses the
heat generated in a thermal hydrocarbon cracking
process at your facility. Because toluene has a signifi-
cant heat value (17,440 BTU/pound) and the energy
is recovered in an industrial furnace, the code "U02"
would be reported in Section 7B for the Form R
submitted for toluene.
However, as cadmium is a non-combustible metal
and therefore does not contribute any heat value for
energy recovery purposes, the combustion of cad-
mium in the industrial furnace is considered waste
treatment, not energy recovery. You would report
cadmium as entering a waste treatment step (i.e.,
incineration), in Section 7 A, column b.
Only listed toxic chemicals that have a significant heating
value and are combusted in an energy recovery unit such
as an industrial furnace, kiln, or boiler, can be reported as
combusted for energy recovery in this section. If a
reported toxic chemical is incinerated on-site but does
not contribute energy to the process (e.g., metals and
chlorofluorocarbons), it must be considered waste treated
on-site and reported in Section 7A. Energy recovery may
take place only in one of the types of energy recovery
equipment listed below.
Energy Recovery Codes
U01 Industrial Kiln
U02 Industrial Furnace
U03 Industrial Boiler
U09 Other Energy Recovery Methods
If your facility uses more than one on-site energy recov-
ery method for the reported toxic chemical, list the
methods used in descending order (greatest to least)
based on the amount of the toxic chemical entering such
methods.
Section 7C On-Site Recycling Processes
In Section 7C, you must report the recycling methods
used on the listed toxic chemical. If you do not conduct
any on-site recycling of the reported toxic chemical,
check the Not Applicable (NA) box at the top of Section
7C.
In this section, use the codes below to report only the
recycling methods in place at your facility that are ap-
plied to the listed toxic chemical. Do not list any off-site
recycling activities (Information about off-site recycling
must be reported in Part II, Section 6, "Transfers of the
Toxic Chemical in Wastes to Off-Site Locations,").

methods for recycling the reported toxic chemical on-
site, then list the ten activities that recover the greatest

der).
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 41

Section 8 Source Reduction and Recycling
Activities
Columns C and D: 1993 and 1994 (Following Year and
Second Year)
This Section includes the data elements mandated by
section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
(PPA). Section 8 is a required section of Form Rand must
be completed.
In Section 8, you must provide information about source
reduction and recycling activities related to the toxic
chemical for which releases are being reported. For all
appropriate questions, report only the quantity, in
pounds, of the reported toxic chemical. Do not include
the weight of water, soil, or other waste constituents.
When reporting on a metal compound, report only the
amount of the parent metal as you do when estimating
release amounts. All amounts must be reported in whole
numbers and up to two significant figures can be pro-
vided.
Section 8.1 through 8.9 must be completed for each toxic
chemical. Section 8.10 mustbe completed only if a source
reduction activity was newly implemented specifically
(in whole or in part) for the reported toxic chemical
during the reporting year. Section 8.11 allows you to
indicate if you have attached additional optional infor-
mation on source reduction, recycling, or pollution con-
trol activities implemented at any time at your facility.
Sections 8.1 through 8.7 require reporting of quantities
for the current reporting year, the prior year, and quan-
tities anticipated in both the first year immediately fol-
lowing the reporting year and the second year following
the reporting year (future estimates).
Column A: 1991 (Prior Year)
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be reported
for the year immediately preceding the reporting year in
column A. For reports due July 1,1993, the prior year is
1991. Information available at the facility that may be
used to estimate the prior year's quantities include the
prior year's Form R submission, supporting documenta-
tion,and recycling, energy recovery, or treatment operat-
ing logs or invoices.
Column B: 1992 (Reporting Year)
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be reported
for the current reporting year in column B.
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be estimated
for 1993 and 1994. EPA expects reasonable future quan-
tity estimates using a logical basis. Information available
at the facility to estimate quantities of the chemical
expected during these years include planned source
reduction activities, market projections, expected con-
tracts, anticipated new product lines, company growth
projections, and production capacity figures. Not appli-
cable, "NA", may not be entered for these data elements.
Respondents should take into account protections avail-
able for trade secrets as provided in EPCRA Section 322
(42 USC 11042).
Relationship to Other Laws
The reporting categories for quantities recycled, treated,
used for energy recovery, and disposed apply to com-
pleting Section 8 of Form R as well as to the rest of Form
R. These categories are to be used only for TRI reporting.
They are not intended for use in determining, under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Sub-
title C regulations, whether a secondary material is a
waste when recycled. These definitions also do not apply
Example 12: Reporting Future Estimates
A pharmaceutical manufacturing facility uses a listed
toxic chemical in the manufacture of a prescription
drug. During the reporting year (1992), the company
received approval from the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration to begin marketing their product as an over-
the-counter drug beginning in 1993. This approval is
publicly known and does not constitute confidential
business information. As a result of this expanded
market, the company estimates that sales and subse-
quent production of this drug will increase their use of
the reported toxic chemical by 30 percent per year for
the two years following the reporting year. The facility
treats the toxic chemical on-site and the quantity
treated is directly proportional to production activity.
The facility thus estimates the total quantity of the
reported toxic chemical treated for the following year
(1993) by adding 30 percent to the amount in column B
(the amount for the current reporting year). The sec-
ond year (1994) figure can be calculated by adding an
additional 30 percent to the amount reported in Column
C (the amount for the following year (1993) projection).

to the information that maybe submitted in the Biennial
Report required under RCRA. In addition, these defini-
tions do not imply any future redefinition of RCRA terms
and do not affect EPA's RCRA authority or authority
under any other statute administered by EPA.
Differences in terminology and reporting requirements
for toxic chemicals reported on Form R and for hazard-
ous wastes regulated under RCRA occur because EPCR A
and the PPA focus on specific chemicals, while the RCRA
regulations and the Biennial Report focus on wastes,
including mixtures. For example, a RCRA hazardous
waste containing a section 313 toxic chemical is recycled
to recover certain constituents of that waste, but not the
toxic chemical reported under EPCRA section 313. The
toxic chemical simply passes through the recycling pro-
cess and remains in the residual from the recycling
process. While the waste may be considered recycled
under RCRA, the toxic chemical constituent would be
considered to be treated for TRI purposes.
Quantities Reportable in Sections 8.1 - 8.7
8.1 Report releases pursuant to EPCRA Section 329(8)
including "any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring,
emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
leaching, dumping, or disposing [on-site or off-site]
into the environment (including the abandonment of
barrels, containers, and other closed receptacles)." Do
not include any quantity treated on-site or off-site.
8.2 - 8.3 A toxic chemical or a mixture containing a
toxic chemical that is used for energy recovery on-site
or is sent off-site for energy recovery, unless it is a
commercially available fuel. For the purposes of
reporting on Form R, reportable on-site and off-site
energy recovery is the combustion of a residual mate-
rial containing a TRI toxic chemical when:
(a) The combustion unit is integrated into
an energy recovery system (i.e., indus-
trial furnaces, industrial kilns, and boil-
ers); and
(b) The toxic chemical is combustible and
has a heating value high enough to sus-
tain combustion.
8.4 - 8.5 A toxic chemical or a mixture containing a
toxic chemical that is recycled on-site or is sent off-site
for recycling.
8.6 - 8.7 A toxic chemical or a mixture containing a toxic
chemical that is treated on-site or is sent to a POTW or
other off-site location for waste treatment.
A toxic chemical or a toxic chemical in a mixture that is
a waste under RCRA must be reported in Sections 8.1
through 8.7.
Avoid Double-Counting in Sections 8.1 Through 8.8
Section 8 of Form R uses data collected to complete Part
II, Sections 5 through 7. For this reason, Section 8 should
be completed last.
Do not double- or multiple-count quantities in Sections
8.1 through 8.7. The quantities reported in each of those
sections must be mutually exclusive. Do not multiple-
count quantities entering sequential reportable activi-
ties. For example, 5,000 pounds of toxic chemical enters
a treatment operation. Three thousand pounds of the
toxic chemical exits the treatment operation and then
enters a recycling operation. Five hundred pounds of the
toxic chemical is in residues from the recycling operation
which is subsequently sent off-site for disposal. These
quantities would be reported as follows in Section 8:
Section 8.1:
Section 8.4:
Section 8.6:
500 pounds disposed
2,500 pounds recycled
2,000 pounds treated (5,000 that
initially entered - 3,000 that sub-
sequently entered recycling)
To. report that 5,000 pounds were treated, 3,000 pounds were
recycled, and that 500 pounds were sent off-site for disposal
would result in over-counting the quantities of toxic chemical
recycled, treated, and disposed by 3,500 pounds.
Do not include in Sections 8.1 through 8.7 any quantities
of the toxic chemical released into the environment due
to remedial actions; catastrophic events such as earth-
quakes, fires, or floods; or unanticipated one-time events
not associated with the production process such as tank
ruptures or reactor explosions. These quantities should
be reported in Section 8.8 only. For example, 10,000
pounds of diaminoanisole sulfate is released due to a
catastrophic event and is subsequently treated off-site.
The 10,000 pounds is reported in Section 8.8, but the
amount subsequently treated off-site is not reported in
Section 8.7.

-------
8.8 Quantify Released to the Environment as a
Result of Remedial Actions, Catastrophic Events, or
One-Time Events Not Associated with Production
Processes.
In Section 8.8, enter the total quantity of toxic chemical
released directly into the environment or sent off-site for
recycling, waste treatment, energy recovery, or disposal
during the reporting year due to any of the following
events:
(1) remedial actions,
(2) catastrophiceventssuchasearthquakes,
fires, or floods; or
(3) one-time events not associated with nor-
mal or routine production processes.
These quantities should not be included in Sections 8.1
through 8.7. The amount of toxic chemical released into
the environment during remediation or transferred off-
site is to be reported in Part II, Sections 5 and 6 as
appropriate.
The purpose of this section is to separate quantities
recycled, used for energy recovery, treated, or disposed
that are associated with normal or routine production
operations from those that are not. While all quantities
released, recycled, treated, or disposed may ultimately
be preventable, this section separates the quantities that
are more likely to be reduced or eliminated by process-
oriented source reduction activities from those releases
that are largely unpredictable and are les.s amenable to
such source reduction activities. For example, spills that
occur as a routine part of production operations and
could be reduced or eliminated by improved handling,
loading, or unloading procedures are included in the
quantities reported in Section 8.1 through 8.7 as appro-
priate. A total loss of containment resulting from a tank
rupture caused by a tornado would be included in the
quantity reported in Section 8.8.
Similarly, the amount of a toxic chemical spilled or
cleaned up from normal operations during the reporting
year would be included in the quantities reported in
Sections 8.1 through 8.7. However, the quantity of the
reported toxic chemical generated from a remedial ac-
tion (e.g., RCRA corrective action) to clean up the envi-
ronmental contamination resulting from past practices
should be reported in Section 8.8 because they cannot
currently be addressed by source reduction methods. A
remedial action for purposes of Section 8:8 is a waste
cleanup (including RCRA and: CERCLA operations)
within the facility boundary. Most remedial activities
involve collecting and treating contaminated material.
Also, releases caused by catastrophic events are to be
incorporated into the quantity reported in Section 8.8.
Such releases may be caused by natural disasters (e.g.,
hurricanes and earthquakes) or by large scale accidents
(e.g., fires and explosions). These amounts are not in-
cluded in the quantity reported in Sections 8.1 through
8.7because such releases are generally unanticipated and
cannot be addressed by routine; process-oriented acci-
dent prevention techniques.
Example 13: Quantify Released to the Environment as a Result of Remedial Actions, Catastrophic Events,
or One-Time Events Not Associated with Production Processes.
A chemical manufacturer produces a toxic chemical in a reactor that operates at low pressure. The reactants and
the toxic chemical product are piped in and out of the reactor at monitored and controlled temperatures. During
normal operations, small amounts of fugitive emissions occur from the valves and flanges in the pipelines.
Due to a malfunction in the control panel (which is state-of-the-art and undergoes routine inspection and
maintenance), the temperature and pressure in the reactor increase, the reactor ruptures, and the toxic chemical
is released. Because the malfunction could not be anticipated and, therefore, could not be reasonably addressed
by specific source reduction activities, the amount released is included in Section 8.8. In this case, much of the
toxic chemical is released as a liquid and pools on the ground. It is estimated that 1,000 pounds of the toxic chemical
pooled on the ground and was subsequently collected and sent off-site for treatment. In addition, it is estimated
that another 200 pounds of the toxic chemical vaporized directly to the air from the rupture. The total amount
reported in Section 8.8 is the 1,000 pounds that pooled on the ground (and subsequently sent off-site), plus the
200 pounds that vaporized into the air, a total of 1,200 pounds. The quantity sent off-site must also be reported
in Section 6 (but not in Section 8.7) and the quantity that vaporized must be reported as a fugitive emission in
Section 5 (but not in Section 8.1).

-------
By checking your documentation for calculating esti-
mates made for Part II, Section 5, "Releases of the Toxic
Chemical to the Environment," you may be able to iden-
tify release amounts from the above sources. Emergency
notifications under CERCLA and EPCRA as well as ac-
cident histories required under the Clean Air Act may
provide useful information. You should also check facility
incident reports and maintenance records to identify one-
time or catastrophic events.
Note that while the information reported in Section 8.8
represents only remedial, catastrophic, or one-time events
not associated with production processes, Section 5 of
Form R (releases to the environment) and Section 6 (off-
site transfers), must include all releases and transfers as
appropriate, regardless of whether they arise from cata-
strophic, remedial, or routine process operations.
8.9 Production Ratio or Activity Index
For Section 8.9, you must provide a ratio of reporting year
production to prior year production, or provide an
"activity index" based on a variable other than produc-
tion that is the primary influence on the quantity of the
reported toxic chemical recycled, used for energy recov-
ery, treated, or disposed. The ratio or index must be
reported to the nearest tenths or hundredths place (e.g.,
one or two digits to the right of the decimal point). If the
manufacture or use of the reported toxic chemical began
during the current reporting year, enter not applicable,
"NA," as the production ratio or activity index.
It is important to realize that if your facility reports more
than one reported toxic chemical, the production ratio or
activity index may vary for different chemicals. For
facilities that manufacture reported toxic chemicals, the
quantities of the toxic chemical(s) produced in the cur-
rent and prior years provide a good basis for the ratio
because that is the primary business activity associated
with the reported toxic chemical(s). In most cases, the
production ratio or activity index must be based on some
variable of production or activity rather than on toxic
chemical or material usage. Indices based on toxic chemical
or material usage may reflect the effect of source reduc-
tion activities rather than changes in business activity.
Toxic chemical or material usage is therefore not a basis
to be used for the production ratio or activity index where
the toxic chemical is "otherwise-used" (i.e., non-incorpo-
rative activities such as extraction solvents, metal
degreasers, etc.).
Example 14: Determining a Production Ratio
Your facility's only use of toluene is as a paint carrier
for a painting operation. You painted 12,000 refrig-
erators in the current reportingyear and 10,000 refrig-
erators during the preceding year. The production
ratio for toluene in this case is 1.2 (12,000/10,000)
because the number of refrigerators produced is the
primary factor determining the quantity of toluene to
be reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
A facility manufactures inorganic pigments, includ-
ing titanium dioxide. Hydrochloric acid is produced
as a waste byproduct during the production process.
An appropriate production ratio for hydrochloric
acid is the annual titanium dioxide production, not
the amount of byproduct generated. If the facility
produced 20,000 pounds of titanium dioxide during
the reporting year and 26,000 pounds in the preceding
year, the production ratio would be 0.77 (20,000/
26,000).
While several methods are available to the facility for
determining this data element, the production ratio or
activity index must be based on the variable that most
directly affects the quantities of the toxic chemical re-
cycled, used for energy recovery, treated, or disposed.
Examples of methods available include:
(1) Amount of toxic chemical manufactured in 1992
divided by the amount of toxic chemical manu-
factured in 1991; or
(2) Amount of product produced in 1992 divided by
the amount of product produced in 1991.

Example 15: Determining an Activity Index
Your facility manufactures organic dyes in a batch process. Different colors of dyes are manufactured, and
between color changes, all equipment must be thoroughly cleaned with solvent containing glycol ethers to reduce
color carryover. During the preceding year, the facility produced 2,000 pounds of yellow dye in January, 9,000
pounds of green dye for February through September, 2,000 pounds of red dye in November, and another 2,000
pounds of yellow dye in December. This adds up to a total of 15,000 pounds and four color changeovers. During
the reporting year, the facility produced 10,000 pounds of green dye during the first half of the year and 10,000
pounds of red dye in the second half. If your facility uses glycol ethers in this cleaning process only, an activity
index of 0.5 (based on two color changeovers for the reporting year divided by four changeovers for the preceding
year) is more appropriate than a production ratio of 1.33 (based on 20,000 pounds of dye produced in the current
year divided by 15,000 pounds in the preceding year). In this case, an activity index, rather than a production
ratio, better reflects the factors that influence the amount of solvent recycled, used for energy recovery, treated,
or disposed.
A facility that manufactures thermoplastic composite parts for aircraft uses acetone as a wipe solvent to clean
molds. The solvent is stored in 55-gallon drums and is transferred to 1-gallon dispensers. The molds are cleaned
on an as-needed basis that is not necessarily a function of the parts production rate. Operators cleaned 5,200
molds during the reporting year, but only cleaned 2,000 molds in the previous year. An activity index of 2.6
(5,200/2,000) represents the activities involving acetone usage in the facility. If the molds were cleaned after 1,000
parts were manufactured, a production ratio would equal the activity index and either could be used as the basis
for the index.
A facility manufactures surgical instruments and cleans the metal parts with 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a vapor
degreaser. The degreasing unit is operated in a batch mode and the metal parts are cleaned according to an
irregular schedule. The activity index can be based upon the total time the metal parts are in the degreasing
operation. If the degreasing unit operated 3,900 hours during the reporting year and 3,000 hours the prior year,
the activity index is 1.3 (3,900/3,000).
A pharmaceutical plant uses hydrochloric acid to regenerate deionization units that supply deionized water to
several operations in the facility. During the reporting year, the facility noted that the units were recharged once
per week. Records for the prior year indicate that the units were recharged four times per week. Provided that
the reduction in recharges per week is not part of a planned source reduction program, an index of 0.25 (1/4)
represents the activities that were the primary influence on the amount of hydrochloric acid recycled, used for
energy recovery, treated, or disposed.
Example 16: "NA" is Entered as the Production
Ratio or Activity Index
Your facility began production of a microwidget during this reporting year. Perchloroethylene is used as a
cleaning solvent for this operation and this is the only use of the toxic chemical in your facility. You would enter
not applicable, "NA," in Section 8.9 because you have no basis of comparison in the prior year for the purposes
of developing the activity index.

Example 17: Determining the Production Ratio Based on a Weighted Average
At many facilities, a reported toxic chemical is used in more than one production process. In these cases, a
production ratio or activity index can be estimated by weighting the production ratio for each process based on
the respective contribution of each process to the quantity of the reported toxic chemical recycled, used for energy
recovery, treated, or disposed.
Your facility paints bicycles with paint containing toluene. Sixteen thousand bicycles were produced in the
reporting year and 14,500 were produced in the prior year. There were no significant design modifications that
changed the total surface area to be painted for each bike. The bicycle production ratio is 1.1 (16,000/14,5000).
You estimate 12,500 pounds of toluene treated, recycled, used for energy recovery, or disposed as a result of
bicycle production. Your facility also uses toluene as a solvent in a glue that is used to make components and
add-on equipment for the bicycles. Thirteen thousand components were manufactured in the reporting year
as compared to 15,000 during the prior year. The production ratio for the components using toluene is 0.87
(13,000/15,000). You estimate 1,000 pounds of toluene treated, recycled, used for energy recovery, or disposed
as a result of components production. A production ratio can be calculated by weighting each of the production
ratios based on the relative contribution each has to the quantities of toluene treated, recycled, used for energy
recovery, or disposed during the reporting year (13,500 pounds). The production ratio is calculated as follows:
Production ratio = (12,500/13,500 x 1.1) + (1,000/13,500 x 0.87) = 1.08
8.10 Did Your Facility Engage in any Source
Reduction Activities for this Chemical during
the Reporting Year?
If your facility engaged in any source reduction activity
for the reported toxic chemical during the reporting year,
report the activity that was implemented and the method
used to identify the opportunity for the activity imple-
mented. If your facility did not engage in any source
reduction activity for the reported toxic chemical, enter
not applicable, "NA," in Section 8.10.1 and answer Sec-
tion 8.11.
Source reduction means any practice which:
Reduces the amount of any hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant entering any waste
stream or otherwise released into the environ-
ment (including fugitive emissions) prior to re-
cycling, treatment, or disposal; and
Reduces the hazards to public health and the
environment associated with the release of such
substances, pollutants, or contaminants.
The term includes equipment or technology modifica-
tions, process or procedure modifications, reformulation
or redesign of products, substitution of raw materials,
and improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, train-
ing, or inventory control.
The term source reduction does not include any practice
which alters the physical, chemical, or biological charac-
teristics or the volume of a hazardous substance, pollut-
ant, or contaminant through a process or activity which
itself is not integral to and necessary for the production
of a product or the providing of a service.
Source reduction activities do not include recycling,
treating, using for energy recovery, or disposing of a
toxic chemical. Report in this section only the source
reduction activities implemented to reduce or eliminate
the.quantities reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7 the
focus of the section is only those activities that are applied
to reduce routine or reasonably anticipated releases and
quantities of the reported toxic chemical recycled, treated,
used for energy recovery, or disposed. Do not report in
this section any activities taken to reduce or eliminate the
quantities reported in Section 8.8.

Example 18: Source Reduction
A facility assembles and paints furniture. Both the glue used to assemble the furniture and the paints contain listed
toxic chemicals. By examining the gluing process, the facility discovered that a new drum of glue is opened at
the beginning of each shift, whether the old drum is empty or not. By adding a mechanism that prevents the drum
from being changed before it is empty, the need for disposal of the glue is eliminated at the source. As a result,
this activity is considered source reduction. The painting process at this facility generates a solvent waste which
is collected and recovered. The recovered solvent is used to clean the painting equipment. The recycling activity
does not reduce the amount of toxic chemical recycled, and therefore is not considered a source reduction activity.
Source Reduction Activities
You must enter in the first column of Section 8.10,
"Source Reduction Activities," the appropriate code(s)
indicating the type of actions taken to reduce the amount
of the reported toxic chemical released (as reported in
Section 8.1), used for energy recovery (as reported in
Section 8.2), recycled (as reported in Section 8.4-8.5), or
treated (as reported in Section 8.6-8.7). The list of codes
below includes many, but not all, of the codes provided
in the RCRA biennial report. Remember that source
reduction activities include only those actions or tech-
niques that reduce or eliminate the amounts of the toxic
chemical reported in Section 8.1 through 8.7. Actions
taken to recycle, treat, or dispose of the toxic chemical are
not considered source reduction activities.

APPENDIX C. COMMON ERRORS IN COMPLETING
FORM R REPORTS
I^^MH^HMBI^MBBi^^MI
The common errors in complying with section 313 and completing Form R occur in three areas: Form R entry errors,
threshold determination errors, and release estimation errors, It is important to note that although the Pollution
Prevention Act of 1990 has greatly impacted the Form R, many of these common errors will still exist. 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 that prevents it from being entered into the TRI database, the facility owner/operator will be issued
aNoticeofNon-Complianceby EPA. Thenotice will indicate that the Form R cannot be further processed and entered
into the TRI database and that changes must be submitted to EPA by a certain date or further enforcement actions
will be taken.
For other errors, including missing pieces of information or erroneous 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 the nature of the error and will require that the corrections be returned to EPA by a certain date.
Through examining Form Rs from other facilities in the same industry or through federal, state, and local referrals,
EPA may initiate an inspection to determine the toxic chemical-related activities at a facility. If, as a result of the
inspection, EPA determines that the facility should have submitted a Form R, then EPA may take enforcement action
against the facility, whichmay involve the subsequent assessment of fines. Likewise, if EPA determines in the process
of the inspection that the facility incorrectly calculated a threshold determination, the facility may also be subject to
penalties.
Discussed below are common errors made when completing Form Rs and the corresponding notices and
enforcement actions that may result from these errors.
Form R Completion Errors
Invalid chemical identification on page 3. The
CAS number and the chemical name reported on
page 3 must exactly match the listed section 313
CAS number and toxic chemical name. The toxic
chemical category code must exactly match the
listed category code in Appendix B. A generic
chemical name should only be provided if you
are claiming the section 313 chemical identity as
a trade secret. Toxic chemical names and CAS
numbers should be taken directly from the sec-
tion 313 toxic chemical list. Mixture names are to
be entered in Part II, Section 2 if the supplier is
claiming the identity of the toxic chemical trade
secret and that is the sole identification. Mixture
names that include the name or CAS number of
one or more section 313 toxic chemical(s) are not
valid. Failure to correctly enter the chemical
identification information will result in a Notice
of Non-Compliance.
Missing certification signature. An original
certification signature must appear on page 1 of
every Form R submitted to EPA. Failure to
provide an original certification signature will
result in a Notice of Technical Error.
Incomplete forms. A complete Form R report for
any toxic chemical or toxic chemical category
consists of at least nine unique pages stapled
together. Sending in a package which contains
only one page 1, but several page 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's,
6's, etc. will result in a Notice of Non-Compli-
ance.
Maximum amount on-site left blank. In a
surprising number of Form R submissions, Part
II, Section 4 on page 3 is left blank. Leaving this
section blank may result in a Notice of Technical
Error.
"Questionable" entries, such as:
Missing or incorrect ZIP codes;
Missing county names;
Non-numeric SIC codes;
Non-numeric or invalid Dun and
Bradstreet numbers;
Incomplete off-site and POTW
information (e.g., missing city name)
Incorrect entries such as these may result in a
Notice of Technical Error. If amounts are re-
ported in units other than pounds (e.g., metric)
Appendix C C-l
-------
or with exponential numbers, EPA may require
a revision of the Form R to be submitted.
Incorrect latitude and longitude coordinates.
Latitude and longitude coordinates are impor-
tantdata on the Form R. These coordinates must
be determined using the correct map and correct
measuring techniques and reported in degrees,
minutes, and seconds. For additional guidance,
see Appendix E of the instructions document.
Missing, suspect, or incorrect latitude or longi-
tude coordinates will result in a Notice of Tech-
nical Error.
Incorrect completion of trade secret informa-
tion. The response to trade secret questions in
Part I and Part II of a Form R must be consistent.
If trade secrecy is indicated, a sanitized Form R
and two trade secret substantiations (one sani-
tized) 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.
Revisions not identified. Revisions to previ-
ously submitted data may be provided to EPA
by making corrections in red ink on a copy of the
Form R originally submitted; if a revision is
made for reporting year 1991 or later, mark an
"X" in the space marked "Enter "X" here if this is
a revision" on page 1; provide an original signa-
ture, and send it to the EPCRA Reporting Center.
You must also send a copy of the revision to the
appropriate State agency. Failure to clearly
identify a revision may result in EPA entering it
into theTRIdatabaseasanewsubmissionresuIt-
ing in duplicative data for the facility. Revisions
to da ta submi tied using magnetic media must be
made on hard copies of the original Form R and
submitted with a cover letter explaining that the
original data was submitted on magnetic media.
Duplicate submissions not identified. Facili-
ties sometimes send multiple copies of the same
Form R to insure that EPA received a copy. 9
Duplicate submissions must be identified by
printing the word "DUPLICATE" in red ink at
the top of page 1. Failure to clearly identify a
duplicate report may result in the duplicate
appearance of the data in the TRI database.
Failure to report waste treatment. Waste treat-
ment methods used to treat waste streams con-
taining 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 waste treatment does not affect the
toxic chemical. If no waste treatment is per-
formed on the toxic chemical, the box marked
"Not Applicable" in Part II, Section 7 must be
checked on the Form R. Failure to do so may
result in a Notice of Technical Error.
Incorrect reporting of waste treatment meth-
ods. The type of waste stream, influent concen-
tration, and waste treatment method for each
waste stream is required to be reported on Form
R using specific codes, along with the waste
treatment efficiency expressed as percent re-
moval. Incomplete or missing treatment codes
or missing efficiency data may result in a Notice
of Technical Error.
Reporting for delisted chemicals. Form R re-
ports for delisted chemicals or other non-listed
chemicals are not required. EPA identifies such
reports as nonreportable and notifies the facility
that these reports are not required and will not be
included as part of the TRI database.
Reporting discharges of mineral acids after
neutralization. When a waste stream containing
a mineral acid is neutralized to a pH of 6 or
above, the mineral acid is considered 100 percent
neutralized. As a result, the release of a neutral-
ized acid discharge should be reported on Form
R as zero. Reporting a large amount of neutral-
ized acid as a release may result in a Notice of
Technical Error.
Not completing all sections of Form R. All
sections of Form R must contain data or "NA".
Failure to complete any section may result in a
Notice of Technical Error.
Duplicate data in Part II, Sections 5 and Part II,
Section 6. Reporting identical values as a dis-
charge to a receiving stream in Part II, Section 5.3
and as a transfer to a POTW in Part II, Section 6.1
is interpreted by EPA as duplicative data and
may result in a Notice of Technical Error.
C-2 Appendix C
-------
Documentation. Any information used to com-
plete the Form R must be clearly documented in
facility records and be available for viewing 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 for
three years.
Toxic chemical activity overlooked. Many fa-
cilities believe that because the section 313 re-
porting requirement pertains to manufacturers,
only the use of toxic chemicals in manufacturing
processes must be examined. Any activity in-
volving 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 chemi-
cals to treat waste streams and may coinciden-
tally manufacture another listed toxic chemical
as a result of the waste treatment reaction. Fail-
ure to correctly identify all uses of toxic chemi- i
cals at your facility may result in the omission of
a required Form R and may lead to an enforce-
ment action.
Misclassification of a toxic chemical activity.
Failure to correctly classify a toxic 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 im-
port a listed toxic chemical. "Process" means the
preparation of a listed toxic chemical after its
manufacture, which incorporates the toxic chemi-
cal 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 applied to a manu-
factured product are often misclassified as pro-
cessed, 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 ;
because of an incorrect threshold determination
resulting from a misclassification of a toxic chemi-
cal activity may result in an enforcement action.
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 guid-
ance on the scope of the section 313 exemptions
and specific examples, see the Toxic Chemical
Release Inventory Questions and Answers docu-
ment, which includes "Directive #1: Article
Exemption." For example, only the processing
or otherwise using an article is exempt. Incor-
rectly 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 determina-
tion resulting from the incorrect interpretation
of an exemption clause may result in an enforce-
ment action.
Misinterpretation of the toxic chemical list.
Each toxic chemical subject to section 313 report-
ing requirements has a specific Chemical Ab-
stract Service (CAS) registry number associated
with it. All information available at the facility,
such as MSDSs and the Common Synonyms for
Section 313 Chemicals document, must be used to
identify thelisted toxic chemicals being reported.
Failure to consider a listed toxic chemical quali-
fier. Aluminum, vanadium, and zinc are quali-
fied as "fume or dust." Isopropyl alcohol and
saccharin have manufacturing qualifiers. Am-
monium nitrate and ammoniumsulfate are quali-
fied as solutions. Phosphorus is qualified as
yellow or white. Asbestos is qualified as friable.
Aluminum oxide is qualified as fibrous forms.
Only forms of these toxic chemicals meeting the
qualifiers require reporting under section 313
and should be reported on Form R with the
appropriate qualifier in parentheses. For ex-
ample, 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 iso-
propyl alcohol by the strong acid process. If it is
manufactured by another process, or simply
processed or otherwise used, you are not re-
quired to report it.
Appendix C C-3
-------
Incorrectly interpreting threshold definition.
Thresholds for section 313 are based on the
amount of toxic chemicals manufactured, pro-
cessed, 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.
Any toxic chemical that is reported that did not
exceed a threshold will result in a Notice of Non-
Compliance. Any toxic chemical that was not
reported due to an incorrect threshold determi-
nation (i.e.,based on the amount released), which
should have been reported, may result in an
enforcement action.
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 oc-
cur. 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 underreporting of
releases.

APPENDIX D. 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 or trade name prod-
ucts containing one or more of the listed section 313 toxic
chemicals to notify their customers. This requirement
has been in effect since January 1,1989.
This appendix explains which suppliers must notify their
customers, 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 Classifica-
tion (SIC) codes 20-39 (see Table I);
(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 chemi-
cal to either:
A facility in SIC Codes 20-39.
A facility that then sells the same mix-
ture or trade name product to a firm in
SIC codes 20-39.
Note that you maybe covered by the supplier notifica-
tion rules even if you are not covered by the section 313
release reporting requirements. For example, even if
you have less than 10 full-time employees or do not
manufacture or process any of the toxic chemicals in
sufficient quantities to trigger the release reporting re-
quirements, you may still be required to notify certain
customers.
Who Must Be Notified
For each mixture or trade name product that contains a
listed toxic chemical, you will have to notify all custom-
ers 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 distribu-
tion includes facilities in SIC codes 20-39. (The notifica-
tion is limited to SIC codes 20-39 facilities and their
suppliers because only facilities in those SIC codes may
be 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
manufacturers. 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" lan-
guage applies to intra-company transfers. However, if
the company has developed 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
containing a toxic chemical is sold to a recycling or
recovery facility. However, if the material is sent off-site
as a waste stream for treatment or disposal, then no
supplier notification is required.
Supplier Notification Must Include the
Following Information:
(1) A statement that the mixture or trade name
product contains 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 associ-
ated 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 toxic
chemicals.)
(3) The percentage, by weight, of each toxic chemi-
cal (or all toxic chemicals within a listed cat-
egory) 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 toxic
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
Appendix D D-l
-------
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.
(2) Discover that your previous notification did not
properly identify the toxic chemicals in the mix-
ture or correctly indicate the percentage by
weight.
HOW the Notification Must Be Made In these cases, you must:
The required notification must be provided at least
annually in writing. Acceptable forms of notice include
letters, product labeling, and product literature distrib-
uted to customers. If you are required to prepare and
distribute a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the
mixture under the Occupational 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 informa-
tion. (A sample letter and recommended text for inclu-
sion in an MSDS appear at the end of this appendix.)
You must make it clear to your customers that any copies
or redistribution of the MSDS or other form of notifica-
tion 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 pro-
vided with an MSDS containing the section 313 informa-
tion, you may refer to the MSDS by a written letter in
subsequent years (as long as the MSDS is current).
If EPA adds toxic 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 chemical to the list. For example, if
EPA adds chemical ABC to the list in September 1990,
supplier notification for chemical ABC would have be-
gun 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, removing, or changing the percentage
by weight of a listed toxic chemical.
(1) Supply a new or revised notification within 30
days of a change in the product or the discovery
of misidentified toxic chemical(s) in the mixture
or incorrect percentages by weight; and
(2) 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 on August 12, indi-
cate which shipments were affected during the
period January 1 - August 12).
When Notifications Are Not Required
Supplier notification is not required for a "pure" toxic
chemical unless a trade 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):
0.1 percent if the toxic chemical is de-
fined as an "OSHA carcinogen";
1 percent for other toxic chemicals.
De minimis levels for each toxic chemical and
chemical category are listed Table II.
(2) Your mixture or trade name product is one of the
following:
An article that does not release a listed
toxic chemical under normal conditions
of processing or otherwise use.
D-2 Appendix D
-------
(3)
Foods, drugs, cosmetics, pesticides, alco-
holic beverages, tobacco, or tobacco
products packaged for distribution to
the general public.
Any consumer product, as the term is
defined in the Consumer Product Safety
Act, packaged for distribution to the
general public. For example, if you mix
or package one-gallon cans of paint de-
signed for use by the general public,
notification is not required.
Your mixture or trade name product is con-
tained in a waste stream being sent off-site for
waste treatment or disposal.
Trade Secrets
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 aro-
matic.
(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 state-
ment that the toxic chemical is present at a
concentration that does not exceed a specified
upper bound. For example, if a mixture contains
12 percent toluene and you consider the percent-
: age a trade secret, the notification may state tha t
; 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 that provides the basis for your
claim.
Recordkeeping Requirements
You are required to keep records for three years of the
following:
(1) Notifications sent to recipients of your mixture
or trade name product;
(2) Explanations of why a notification was consid-
ered necessary and all supporting materials used
to develop the notice;
(3) If claiming a specific toxic chemical identity a
i trade secret, why the toxic chemical identity is
considered a trade secret and the appropriate-
; ness of the generic chemical name provided in
the notification; and
(4) If claiming a specific concentration a trade secret,
explanations of why a specific concentration is
considered a trade secret and the basis for the
upper bound concentration limit.
This information must be readily available for inspection
by EPA.

Anytown, North Carolina 99999
Dear Mr. Burke:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that a product that we sell to you, Furniture Lacquer KXZ-
1390, contains 20 percent toluene (Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 108-88-3) and 15 percent
zinc compounds. We are required to notify you of the presence of toluene and zinc compounds in the
product under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986. This
law requires certain manufacturers to report on annual emissions of specified toxic chemicals and
chemical categories.
If you are unsure whether or not you are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313, or need
more information, call EPA's Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Information Hotline
at (800) 535-0202. Your other suppliers should also be notifying you if section 313 toxic chemicals are in
the mixtures and trade name products they sell to you.
Please also note that if you repackage or otherwise redistribute this product to industrial customers, a
notice similar to this one should be sent to those customers.

APPENDIX E. 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 facilities to make the best possible measure-
ments when determining latitude and longitude. As
with any other data element, missing, suspect, or incor-
rect 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) = 1' (minute)
60' (minutes) = 1° (degree)
The most important tool available for determining lati-
tude and longitude for your facility 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 topographic 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 avail-
able in 7.5 x 15 minute increments with a scale of 1:25000
(i.e., one inch on the map represents approximately four
miles). It is very important that latitude and longitude
measurements be made from one of the detailed maps
described above. Otherwise, measurements will not
accurately reflect the location of your facility and could
be identified as an error on your Form R submission.
In order to identify the detailed topographic quadrangle
map in which your facility 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 numbered quadrangular sections
are called general areas of interest. Identify the
numbered section in which your facility is lo-
cated.
(2) The subsequent pages of the index contain de-
tailed maps of each general area of interest, in
numerical order. Identify the detailed map
corresponding to the numbered general area of
interest identified in Step 1.
(3); Within this detailed map, identify the smaller
quadrangular area in which your facility is lo-
; cated. This smaller quadrangular section is the
specific area of interest. Record first the letter
then 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 corre-
sponding 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 mean-
ing of the reference code. On the pages following
this explanation, there are charts listed alpha-
betically 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, iden-
tify the file number and map reference code
from the chart for the map in which your facili ty
i is located (e.g., file number 00692, 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 your facility is located.
These detailed topographic quadrangle maps are avail-
able in many libraries or for purchase from the Distribu-
tion Branch of the USGS and from private map dealers.
The Catalog of Topographic and Other Published Maps con-
tains a list of map depository libraries and topographic
map dealers for each state covered in the catalog.

Determining Your Facility's Latitude
and Longitude
(See diagram next page.)
Read and record the latitude and longitude (in
degrees, minutes, and seconds) for the southeast
corner of the small quadrangle drawn in step
two. The latitude and longitude are printed at
the edges of the map.
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 alignment, 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
to the 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 x 150" = increment of latitude
between lines
[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.]
Once you have obtained the correct map for your facility: example:
(1) Mark the location of your facility on the map
with a point. If your facility is large, choose a
point central to the production activities of the
facility. If certain structures in your facility are
represented on the map, mark one of the struc-
tures 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.

(5) To determine the increment of longitude west of
the longitude line recorded in step 3,
position the map so that you face south;
place the ruler in approximately an east-
west alignment with the "0" on the
longitude line 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 desired point (the point dis-
tance);
the measurement from the longitude
