Important Information for Reporting Year 1993
The following information updates or corrects the Form R and Instructions for 1993. No other
changes or modifications have been made to the Form R or instructions other than those listed
here.
n-Dioctyl phthalate (CAS # 117-84-0) has been
removed from the toxic chemical list (58 PR
51785) and thus removed from Table II.
Reports are not required for this chemical for
reporting year 1993 and beyond.
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 expiration date shown
on the Form has passed, this Form R is still valid
and should be used for all 1993 submissions.
All references to reporting year 1992 and all other
date related references have been changed to
reflect the current reporting year. (i.e., Reporting
year 1992 has been changed to reporting year
1993; prior year 1991 was changed to prior year
1992, 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 for
regular and certified mail is:
EPCRA Reporting Center
P.O. Box 3348
Merrifield, VA 22116-3348
Attn: Toxic Release Inventory
For hand delivery or overnight mail, the address
is:
EPCRA Reporting Center
c/o Computer Based Systems Inc.
4301N. Fairfax Drive
6th Floor, Suite 650
Arlington, VA 22203
The back side of the pages of the Form R
include a box stating "This page intentionally
left blank. Please do not copy double-sided."
For data processing reasons the Form R must
be submitted single-sided.
The de minimis level for the toxic chemicals,
C.I. Basic Red 1 (CAS # 989-38-8) and p-
Nitrosodiphenylamine (CAS # 156-10-5) have
been changed to 1%. These chemicals are no
longer considered OSHA carcinogens and
therefore are not subject to the 0.1% de minimis
level.
AppendixCCommonErrorsinCompletingForm
R Reports has been updated to include errors
made in completing Section 8 of Form R.
The State and Regional contacts lists (appendices
F and G) have been updated. Appendix H State
Waste Reduction Contacts has been replaced
with the newly added chemicals. The State Waste
Reduction Contacts have been removed.
On December 1,1993, EPA issued two rules (58
PR 63496; and 58 PR 63500) finalizing the addi-
tion of 34 chemicals to the toxic chemical list.
These chemicals are not to be reported for the
1993 reporting year. These listings are effective
for the 1994 reporting year with the first reports
due on July 1,1995. However, since data on these
chemicals must be collected beginning January
1,1994, a list is provided in Appendix H.
Appendix I has been renamed Section 313 Related
Materials and Information Access. The Appendix
has been updated to provide current information
on guidance documents and information prod-
ucts.

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 lHoftheSuperfund Amend-
ments and Reauthorization Act of 1986), Public Law
99-499. The information contained in Form R constitutes
a "report," and the submission of a report to the appropri-
ate authorities constitutes "reporting."
Reporting is required to provide the public with informa-
tion 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 chemi-
cals, as well as the maximum amount of the listed toxic
chemical en-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
Part II, Chemical-Specific Information (pages
3-9).
Most of the information required in Part I of Form R can
be completed, photocopied, and attached to each chemi-
cal-specific report. However, Part I of each Form R
submitted must have an original signature on the certifi-
cation statement and the trade secret designation must be
entered as appropriate. Part II must be completed sepa-
rately for each toxic chemical or chemical category. Be-
cause a complete Form R consists of at least 9 unique
pages, any submissions containing less than 9 unique
pages is not a valid submission.
A complete report for any listed toxic chemical that is not
claimed as a trade secret consists of the following com-
pleted parts:
Part I with an original signature on the
certification statement (Section 2); and
Part II (Section 8 is now mandatory).
Staple all 9 pages of each report together. Ifyoucheckyes
on Part II, Section 8.11, you may attach additional infor-
mation on pollution prevention activities at your facility.
A.2 Trade Secret Claims
For any toxic chemical whose identity is claimed as a
trade secret, you must submit to EPA two versions of the
substantiation form as prescribed in 40 CFR Part 350,
published July 29, 1988, in the Federal Register (53 FR
28772) as well as two versions of Form R. One set of forms,
the "unsanitized" version, should provide the actual
identity of the toxic chemical. The other set of forms, the
"sanitized" version, should provide only a generic iden-
tity of the toxic chemical. If EPA deems the trade secret
substantiation form valid, only the sanitized set of forms
will be made available to the public.
Use the order form in this document to obtain copies of
the rule and substantiation form. Further explanation of
the trade secret provisions is provided in Part I, Sections
2.1 and 2.2, and Part II, Section 1.3, of the instructions.
In summary, a complete report to EPA for a toxic chemi-
cal claimed as a trade secret must include all of the
following:
A completed "unsanitized" version of a
Form R report including the toxic chemical
identity (staple the pages together);
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 1
-------
A sanitized version of a completed Form R
report in which the toxic chemical identity
items (Part If, 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.
Somestates 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
require unsanitized forms. You may identify an indi-
vidual State's submission requirements by contacting the
appropriate 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.
Facilities 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 facil-
ity 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
would be to review a facility's record? for accuracy and
reliability.
A partial list of records, organized by year, that a facility
should maintain include:
Previous years' Form Rs;
Section 313 Reporting Threshold Worksheets;
Engineering calculations and other notes;
Purchase records from suppliers;
Inventory data;
EPA (NPDES) permits;
EPCRA Section 312, Tier H Reports;
Monitoring records;
Flowmeter data;
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator's Report;
Pretreatment reports filed by the facility with
the local government;
Invoices from waste management companies;
Manufacturer's estimates of treatment efficien-
cies;
RCRA Manifests; and
Process diagrams that indicate emissions and
releases.
A.4 When the Report Must be
Submitted
The report for any calendar year must be submitted on or
before July 1 of the following year (e.g., the report for
calendar year 1993, January-December, must be submit-
ted on or before July 1,1994).
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 Com-
munity Right-to-Know Information Hotline can help you
identify the version of Form R used for each reporting
year.
For the 1991 reporting year and beyond, enter "X" in the
space marked "Enter 'X' 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 reporting years 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 regular or certified mail to:
EPCRA Reporting Center
P.O. Box 3348
Merrifield, VA 22116-3348
Attn: Toxic Chemical Release Inventory
Overnight 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 in-
cludes: the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, the Northern Maiiana Mends, and any other
territory or possession over which the U.S. has jurisdic-
tion.) Refer to Appendix F for the appropriate State
submission addresses.
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 agree-
ment.
Submission of section 313 reports in magnetic media and
computer-generated facsimile formats has been approved
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
you report 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 andcomputer-generatedfacsimilesthatmeet
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:
The facility has 10 or more full-time employ-
ees; and
The facility is included in Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Codes 20 through 39; and
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 calen-
dar year and not the number of persons working. To
determine the number of full-time employees working
for your facility, add up the hours worked by all employ-
ees during the calendar year, including contract employ-
ees 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, struc-
tures, 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 follow-
ing 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-
lishment within the facility, the facility also meets
the SIC code criterion.

-------
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 count-
ing" 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 subtract-
ing 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.
-t
B.2.b Auxiliary Facilities
i
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 be-
come 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, pro-
cess, or otherwise 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,
pilotplantscale and specialty chemical production donot
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, how-
ever, is subject to reporting requirements.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 7

B.3 Activity Determination
B.3.a Definitions of "Manufacture," "Process," and
"Otherwise Use"
Manufacture: The term "manufacture" means to pro-
duce, prepare, compound, or import a listed toxic chemi-
cal. (See Part n, 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 produc-
tion of a toxic chemical (e.g., as a byproduct or impurity)
as a result of the manufacture, processing, otherwise use,
or treatment of other chemical substances. In the case of
coincidentalproductionof an impurity (i.e., a toxic chemi-
cal that remains in the product that is distributed in
commerce), the de minimis limitation, discussed in Sec-
tion B.4.b of these instructions, applies. The de minimis
limitation does not apply to byproducts (e.g., a toxic
chemical that is separated from a process stream and
furtherprocessedordisposed). Certain listed toxic chemi-
cals may be 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 solu-
tion 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 chemi-
cal 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 piepared 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 Release 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, arid 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 esti-
mates 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 thenormal processing or
otherwise use of an article. It does not apply to the
manufacture of an article. Toxic chemicals processed into
articles produced at afacility must be factored into thresh-
old 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 rpleasp ralrn1atrnn<;
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 exemp-
tion is not applicable. The toxic chemical(s) in the item
mustbe counted toward the appropriate threshold deter-
mination, and the fumes, dust, filings, and grindings
mustbe 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 1993 calendar year
reporting. Some of the toxic chemicals listed in Table n
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, andzinc) 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 1993 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 gener-
ated 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 from a gaseous state, in distinc-
tion to a gas or vapor. Fumes arise from the heating of
solids such as lead. The condensation is often accompa-
nied 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,
title 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 manufac-
turers 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.
S olutions. 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 alumi-
num 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 sec-
tion 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
thresholds. This worksheet also provides a format for
maintaining reporting facility records. Use of this
worksheet is not required and the completed worksheets)
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 form or 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 determination 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, because each of these activities requires a sepa-
rate threshold determination. For example, if in a calen-
dar 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.

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
the year. 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, ex-
ceed the reporting threshold). If, however, the whole
refrigeration unit was recharged with 15,000 pounds of
ammonia 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 specifi-
cally 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 in-
structions). 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 bothbecause 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 com-
pounds. 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 deter-
mine whether the components of a mixture are above the
de minimis concentration and, therefore, must be in-
cluded in threshold and release determinations. If you
know that a mixture or trade name product contains a
specific toxic chemical, combine the amount of the toxic
chemical in the mixture or trade name product with other
amounts of the same toxic chemical processed, or other-
wise used at your facility for threshold and release deter-
minations. 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 threshold and release determinations.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 13
-------
Examples: Mixture and Trade Name Products
Scenario #1: Your facility uses 12,000 pounds of an industrial solvent (Solvent X) for equipment cleaning. The
Material Safely 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
11CA
use.
1)
2)
3)
4)
Determine a reasonable maximum concentration for the toxic chemical by subtracting out the non-
hazardous surfactants (i.e., 100%-20% = 80%).
Determine the midpoint between the known minimum (50%) and the reasonable maximum calculated
above (i.e., (80%-50%)/2 + 50% = 65%).
Multiply total weight of Solvent X otherwise used by 65 percent.
12,000 pounds x 0.65 = 7,800 pounds
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 hydrocarbons." This
name willbe 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-f-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 thresh-
old determinations.
If you know only the lower bound concentration,
you should subtract out the percentages of any
other known components to determine a reason-
able upper bound concentration, and then deter-
mine 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.
De 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 ap-
plies to the aggregate concentration of all such members
and not to each individually. EPA included the de
minimis exemption in the rule as a burden-reducing step,
primarily because facilities are not likely to have informa-
tion 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
requirements 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
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
distributed 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
notice 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.

right corner of each page of Form R. Completion
of this non-mandatory data element will greatly
aid your internal recordkeeping and the quality
of EPA's data entry process.
This is the calendar year to which the reported informa-
tion applies, not the year in which you are submitting the
report. Information for the 1992 reporting year must be
submitted on or before July 1,1993.
Section 2.
Trade Secret Information
2.1 Are you claiming the chemical identity on page
3 trade secret?
Answer this question only after you have completed the
rest of the report. The specific identity of the toxic
chemical being reported in Part n, Section 1, may be
designated as a trade secret. If you are making a trade
secret claim, mark "yes" and proceed to Section 2.2. Only
check "yes" if it is your manufacturing, processing, or
otherwise use of the toxic chemical whose identity is a
trade secret. (See page 1 of these instructions for specific
information on trade secrecy claims.) If you checked
"no," proceed to Section 3; do not answer Section 2.2.
2.2 If "yes"
unsanitized?
in 2.1, is this copy sanitized or
Answer this question only after you have completed the
rest of the report. Check "sanitized" if this copy of the.
report is the public version which does not contain the
toxic chemical identity but does contain a generic name in
its place, and you have claimed the toxic chemical iden-
tity trade secret in Part I, Section 2.1. Otherwise, check
"unsanitized."
Section 3.
Certification
The certification statement must be signed by the owner
or operator or a senior official with management respon-
sibility for the person (or persons) completing the form.
The owner, operator, or official must certify the accuracy
and completeness of the information reported on the
form by signing and dating the certification statement.
Each report must contain an original signature. Print or
type in the space provided the name and title of the
person who signs the statement. This certification state-
ment applies to all the information supplied on the form
and should be signed only after the form has been com-
pleted.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 17
-------
Section 4. Facility Identification
4.1 Facility Name and Location
Enter the name of your facility (plant site name or appro-
priate facility designation), street address, mailing ad-
dress, city, county, state, and zip code in the space
provided. Do not use a post office box number as the
street address. 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 1993.
Remove the mailing 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
Part I, Section 4.1. For example, if your label contains
your 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 recycling activities of a listed toxic chemi-
cal if itmeetsareportingthresholdforthattoxic chemical.
However, if the facility is composed of several distinct
establishments, EPA allows .these establishments to sub-
mit separate reports for the toxic chemical as long as all
releases of the toxic chemical from the entire facility are
accounted for. Indicate in Section 4.2 whether your 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 establish-
ments 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 oth-
erwise use or release a toxic chemical, you do not have to
submit a report for that establishment or group of estab-
lishments. (See also Section B.2.a of these instructions.)
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; how-
ever, 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 Sys-
tem (NPDES) even if the permit(s) do not pertain to the
toxic chemical being reported. This 9-character permit
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 Inj ection 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 Section 4.10a. 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.

toxic chemical categories in Table n (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 H.
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 Polybrorriinated 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 n. If the toxic chemicalname
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-
calidentity 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 generic 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. You determine that the mixture contains a listed
toxic chemical but the only identity you have for
that chemical is a generic name;
2. You know either the specific concentration of
that toxic chemical component or a maximum or
average concentration level; and
3. 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, genericallyidentifiedmixture component.
Example 6: Mixture Containing Unidentified
Toxic Chemical
Your facility uses 20,000 pounds of a solvent that your
supplier has told you contains 80 percent "chlorinated
aromatic," their generic name for a toxic chemical
subject to reporting under section 313. You therefore
know that you have used 16,000 pounds of some listed
toxic chemical which exceeds the "otherwise use"
threshold. You would file a Form R and enter the
name "chlorinated aromatic" in the space provided in
Part H, Section 2.
Section 3. Activities and Uses of the Toxic
Chemical at the Facility
Indicate whether the toxic chemical is manufactured
(includingimported), 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 activities 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), 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 informa-
tion section of these instructions or Part 40, Section 372.3
of the Code of Federal Regulations for additional explana-
tions.
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.S.a of these instructions for
further clarification of import.)
And check at least one of the following:
c.
e.
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.
For sale/distribution - the toxic chemical is pro-
duced or imported specifically for sale or distri-
bution outside the manufacturing facility.
As a byproduct - the toxic chemical is produced
coincidentally during the production, process-
ing, otherwise use, or disposal of another chemi-
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 (incorpora-
tive activities)
a. As a reactant - A natural or synthetic toxic chemi-
cal used in chemical reactions for the manufac-
ture of another chemicalsubstance or of aproduct.
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 rheological modifiers.
c. As an article component - A toxic chemical that
becomes an integral component of an article dis-
tributed 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. As a chemical processing aid - A toxic chemical that
is added to a reaction mixture to aid in the manu-
facture or synthesis of another chemical sub-
stance but is not intended to remain in or become
part of the product or product mixture. Ex-
amples of such toxic chemicals include, but are
not limited to, process solvents, catalysts, inhibi-
tors, initiators, reaction terminators, and solu-
tion 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, refrig-
erants, 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 lime
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 maximum
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 tine 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
f romplastic 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 compounds (e.g.,
copper compounds) that are lost due to normal corrosion
of process equipment do not have to be considered as
releases of copper compounds from the facility.
All 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 emis-
sions. Engineering estimates and mass balance calcula-
tions (using purchase records, inventories, engineering
knowledge or process specifications of the quantity of the
toxic chemical entering product, hazardous waste mani-
fests, 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
ak that occur through stacks, vents, ducts, pipes, or other
confined air streams. You must include storage tank
emissions. Air releases from ak 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
total of three spaces areprovided;however, other 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
stream(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 re-
leased from all discharge points at the facility to each
receiving stream or water body. Include process outfalls
such as pipes and open trenches, releases from on-site
wastewater treatment systems, and the contribution from
stormwater runoff, if applicable (see instructions for col-
umn C below). Do not include discharges to a POTW or
other off-site wastewater treatment facilities in this sec-
tion. 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; hydro-
gen chloride; nitric acid; phosphoric acid; and sulfuric
acid) may be reported as zero if the discharges have been
neutralized to pH 6 or above. If wastewater containing a
listed mineral acid is discharged below pH 6, then re-
leases 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 locations
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 Landfill Typically, the ultimate disposal method
for solid wastes is landfilling. Leaks from landfills need
not be reported as a release because the amount of the
toxic 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 in-
cluded 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 dis-
charge, it would be considered to be a surface impound-
ment 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 underground pipe-
line 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 remaining 1,400
pounds would be reported as a release to land, other
disposal (Part II, Section 5.5.4).
S.Column 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, recycling,
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 sig-
nificant 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 re-
leases, 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 die 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
estimateshouldbeinwholenumbers. Donotuse 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-
neeringcalculations. Youmaynotuseemissionfactorsor
calculations to estimate releases if more accurate data are
available.
No additional monitoring or measurement of the quanti-
ties or concentrations of any toxic chemical released into
the environment, or of the frequency of such releases,
beyond that which is required under other provisions of
law or regulation or as part of routine plant operations, is'
required for the purpose of completing Form R.
You must estimate, as accurately as possible, the quantity
(in pounds) of the toxic chemical or chemical category
that is 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 concentration
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 6 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
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 factors).
28 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
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
Molecular weight
207.2x2 = 414.4
51.996
(414.4/546.37) = 75.85% lead and
(51.996/546.37) = 9.52% chromium
Lead Selenite (PbSeO4)
Lead 1 Pb . .
Selenium 1 Se
Lead selenite is therefore (% by weight)
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 volatil-
ization using published mathematical formulas)
or best engineering judgment. This would in-
clude applying an estimated 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 indicatedbecause moni-
toring 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.
Ids 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 submis-
sions.
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 indicate the percentage of
the total quantity (by weight) of the toxic chemical con-
tributed 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 submit-
ted chemical-specific monitoring data in permit applica-
tions, 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 how 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.

(Area 3 % of total)(C3) + ... + (Area i % of total)(Ci)
where Ci = runoff coefficient for a specific
land use of Area i.
Section B 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 with reporting
year 1991, off-site transfers for the purposes of recycling
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.1/6.1.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
10

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 ffa) 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.1 and 6.1.B.2,
while the box for the third POTW on the second page 5
would be numbered 6.1.B.2-
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 thennumber theboxes 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
two page 6s and then indicate the f irst 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:

C 500-99
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 process
equipment.
E - Estimate is based on published emission factors,
such as those relating release quantity to through-
put or equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
O - Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatile
ization using published mathematical formulas)
or best engineering judgment. This would in-
clude 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.
6.2
Transfers to Other Off-Site Locations
In Section 6.2, enter the EPA Identification Number,
name, and address for each off-site location to which your
facility ships or transfers wastes containing the reported
toxic chemical for the purposes of waste treatment, dis-
posal, recycling, or energy recovery. Also estimate the
quantity of the reported toxic chemical transferred and
the basis upon which the estimate was made. If appropri-
ate, you must report multiple activities (up to four) for
each off-site location. For example, if your facility sends
a reported toxic chemical in wastes to an 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 Number)
may be found on the Uniform Hazardous Waste Mani-
fest, 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 Identification
Number. If you ship or transfer the reported toxic chemi-
cal in wastes to another country, enter the Federal Infor-
mation Processing Standards (PIPS) code for that country
in the county field of the address for the off-site facility.
The most commonly used PIPS 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
toxic 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 quantity
as used for the purposes of energy recovery. However,
toxic chemicals with little or no heat of combustion value
(e.g., metals, chlorofluorocarbons) must be reported as
treated.
6.2 column A Total Transfers
For each off-site location, enter the total amount, inpounds,
of the toxic chemical that is contained in the waste trans-
ferred 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 appropri-
ate 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 purposes 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 loca-
tions, 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, re-
port the appropriate waste treatment activity along with
the quantity.
6.2 column 6 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 factors).
O - Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatil-
ization using published mathematical formulas)
or best engineering judgment. This would in-
clude 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/

Enter one of the following codes to identify the type of
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

This off-site location receives a transfer of 12,500 pounds of tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene) that is part of a
waste that is combusted for the purposes of energy recovery in an industrial furnace. Note that the perchloroethylene

heating value of the waste.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 35

for a single location when distinct quantities of the re-
ported toxic chemical are subject to different waste treat-
ment, disposal, recycling, or energy recovery methods.
You may have this information in your invoices from the
wasteservice(s)orbroker(s)receivingyour wastes for the
purposes of waste treatment, disposed, recycling, or en-
ergy 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
heating value high enough to sustain combustion and
must be 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 unit but 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 chemicalin
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 Time 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.
7A 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 meth-
ods that apply to individual waste streams. If your
facility treats various wastewater streams containing the
toxic chemical in different ways, the different waste treat-
ment 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 parameters 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 renum-
ber 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 ninih method would be indi-
cated in the first method box for row 7A.2a. The numeral
"I" 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 solids and
liquids;
o cubic centimeters / cub ic 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, multi-
ply by 1766.6 to convert to parts per million; if in
milligrams/cubic meter,multiplyby0.773toobtainparts
per million. These conversion factors are for standard
conditions of 0°C (32°F) and 760 mmHg atmospheric
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 canreflect the overall
removal from sequential treatment methods applied to
the general waste stream, refers only to the percent de-
struction, 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:
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
wastestreambymultiplymgmeconcentration (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
treatmentis 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 incinerated,
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 par-
ent metal from the waste stream (except for incineration),
not the percent chemical conversion of the metal com-
pound. 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 effi-
ciency of zero.
Listed toxic chemicals that are strong mineral acids neu-
tralized 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 efflu-
ent 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 recov-
ery 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 7A, 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 re-
ported toxic chemical is incinerated on-site but does not
contribute energy to the process (e.g., metals and chlo-
rofluorocarbons), it mustbe 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 meth-
ods 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 amount
of the toxic chemical (again, in descending order).
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 41

Section 8 Source Reduction and Recycling
Activities
Columns C and D: 1994 and 1995 (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,reportortly the quantity,inpounds,
of the reported toxic chemical. Do not include the weight
of water, soil, or other waste constituents. When report-
ing on a metal compound, report only the amount of the
parentmetalas you do when estimating release amounts.
All amounts must be reported in whole numbers and up
to two significaotJSgutes can be provided.
Section 8.1 through 8.9 must be completed for each toxic
chemical. Section 8.10 must be 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 quanti-
ties anticipated in both the first year immediately follow-
ing the reporting year and the second year following the
reporting year (future estimates).
Column A: 1992 (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 1,1994, the prior year is
1992. 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: 1993 (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 1994 and 1995. EPA expects reasonable future quan-
tity estimates using a logical basis. Information available
at the facility to estimate quantities of the chemical ex-
pected during these years include planned source reduc-
tion activities, market projections, expected contracts,
anticipated new product lines, company growth projec-
tions, and production capacity figures. Not applicable,
"NA", may not be entered for these data elements. Re-
spondents should take into account protections available
for trade secrets as provided in EPCRA Section 322 (42
USC11042).
Relationship to Other Laws
The reporting categories for quantities recycled, treated,
used for energy recovery, and disposed apply to complet-
ing 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 (1993), the company
received approval from the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration to begin marketing their product as an over-
the-counter drug beginning in 1994. 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 (1994) by
adding 30 percent to the amount in column B (the
amount for the current reporting year). The second
year (1995) figure can be calculated by adding an
additional 30 percent to the amount reported in Col-
umn C (the amount for the following year (1994) pro-
jection).
42 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
to the information that may be 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 hazardous
wastes regulated under RCRA occur because EPCRA 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 pro-
cess. While the waste maybe considered recycled under
RCRA, the toxic chemical constituent would be consid-
ered 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 re-
porting 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 activities.
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 quanti-
ties 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 earthquakes,
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.
Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions 43
-------
8.8 Quantity Released to the Environment as a
Result of Remedial Actions, Catastrophic Events, or
One-Time Events Not Associated with Production Pro-
cesses.
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) catastrophic events such as earthquakes,
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 n, Sections 5 and 6 as
appropriate.
The purpose of this section is to separate quantities re-
cycled, 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 less 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 appropri-
ate. 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 action (e.g.,
RCRA corrective action) to clean up the environmental
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 col-
lecting 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 8.7
because such releases are generally unanticipated and
cannot be addressed by routine process-oriented acci-
dent prevention techniques.
Example 13: Quantity 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 (butnot 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).
44 Toxic Release Inventory Reporting Form R and Instructions
-------
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 acci-
dent histories required under the Clean Air Act may
provide useful information. You should also check facil-
ity 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 "ac-
tivity index" based on a variable other than production
that is the primary influence on the quantity of the re-
ported toxic chemical recycled, used for energy recovery,
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 manufac-
ture 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 current
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 mate-
rial usage may reflect the effect of source reduction activi-
ties 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-incorpora-
tive 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 reporting year 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 pro-
duced 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 1993
divided by the amount of toxic chemical manu-
factured in 1992; or
(2) Amount of product produced in 1993 divided by
the amount of product produced in 1992.

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 equipmentmustbe 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 notnecessarily a function of the parts production rate. Operators cleaned 5,200 molds
during the reportingyear, 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, hi 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, treat-
ing, 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 quanti-
ties reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7the 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 techniques 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.

Estimate is based on monitoring data or mea-
surements for the toxic chemical as transferred to
an off-site facility.
Estimate is based on mass balance calculations,
such as calculation of the amount of the toxic
chemical in waste streams entering and leaving
process equipment.
Estimate is based on published emission factors,
such as those relatingrelease quantity to through-
put or equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatil-
ization using published mathematical formulas
or best engineering judgment. This would in-
clude applying an estimated removal efficiency
to a waste stream, even if the composition of the
waste stream before treatment was fully charac-
terized by monitoring data.

APPENDIX C. COMMON ERRORS IN COMPLETING
FORM R REPORTS
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
a Notice of Non-Compliance by EPA. The notice 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, which may 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 rep or ted 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 Rreport 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 sur-
prising 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) or
Appendix C C-l
-------
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-
tant data on the Form R. These coordinates must
be determined using the correctmap 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 IE 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 datamay 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 iden-
tify a revision may result in EPA entering it into
the TRI database as a new submission resulting
in duplicative data for the facility. Revisions to
data submitted 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.
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 ap-
pearance 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.
Informationmustbe enteredfor 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 willnot be
included as part of the TRI database.
Reporting discharges of mineral acids after neu-
tralization. When a waste stream containing a
mineral acid is neutralized to a pH of 6 or above,
the mineral acid, is considered 100 percent neu-
tralized. As a result, the release of a neutralized
acid discharge should be reported on Form R as
zero. Reporting a large amount of neutralized
acid as a release may result in a Notice of Techni-
cal 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-
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 activ-
ity may result in an incorrect threshold determi-
nation. Asa result, a Form Rmay not be submitted
when one is required. "Manufacture" means to
produce, prepare, compound, or import a listed
toxic chemical. "Process" means the preparation
of a listed toxic chemical after its manufacture,
which incorporates the toxic chemical into the
finalproduct,fordistributionincommerce. "Oth-
erwise use" encompasses any use of a listed toxic
chemical that does not fall under the terms "manu-
facture" or "process." For example, solvents in
paint applied to a manufactured product are
often misclassified as processed, instead of oth-
erwise used. Because the solvents are not inten-
tionally incorporated into the final product, the
solvent is being otherwise used, not processed.
Failure to submit a Form R because of an incor-
rect threshold determination resulting from a
misclassif ication of a toxic chemical 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 Ex-
emption." For example, only the processing or
otherwise using an article is exempt. Incorrectly
assuming the manufacture of an article is exempt
will result in incorrectly omitting toxic chemicals
which are required to be included in a threshold
determination. Failure to submit a Form R due to
an incorrect threshold determination resulting
from the incorrect interpretation of an exemption
clause may result in an enforcement action.
Misinterpretation of the toxic chemical list. Each
toxic chemical subject to section 313 reporting
requirements has a specific Chemical Abstract
Service (CAS) registrynumber 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 the
listed 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 ammonium sulf ate 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
manufacturedby another process, or simply pro-
cessed or otherwise used, you are not required 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.
ReportingzeroairemissionsofaVOC. Volatile
organic chemicals (VOCs) are substances which
readily evaporate at room temperature. As a
result, when using these toxic chemicals in an
open tank, a painting or degreasing operation, or
similar open operations, air emissions will occur.
Only in special cases with completely closed
systems may a zero emission to air occur. Failure
to report air emissions when submitting a Form
R for a VOC may result in underreporting of
releases.
Reporting CAS numbers in Section 1.1. Begin-
ning with the 1991 reporting year, EPA has as-
signed alphanumeric category codes to the twenty
chemical categories for the purp oses of reporting
in Section 1.1, the CAS number field. If you are
completingaFormRforachemical category, you
must provide the appropriate code for that cat-
egory in Section 1.1. The category codes can be
found in the instructions for Section 1.1; Table II,
"Section 313 Toxic Chemical List;" and Appendix
B, "Reporting Codes for EPA Form R."
Reporting transfers to POTWs. When all quan-
tities of a listed mineral acid are transferred to a
POTW after being neutralized to a pH of 6 or
greater, the quantity transferred should be re-
ported as zero. It is incorrect to enter "NA" (Not 9
Applicable), in such a situation.
Reporting other off-site transfers. Beginning
with the 1991 reportingyear, transfers off-site for
the purposes of recycling or combustion for en-
ergy recovery are to be reported in Section 6.2.
Any quantities reported in Sections 8.5,8.3,8.7,
and 8.1 as sent off-site for recycling, energy re-
covery, treatment, or disposal, respectively, must
also be reported in Section 6.2 along with the
receiving location and appropriate off-site activ-
ity code.
Reporting on-site energy recovery methods in
Section 7B. When a quantity is reported in
Section 8.2 as combusted for energy recovery on-
site, the type of energy recovery system used
must be reported in Section 7B, and vice versa.
Reporting on-site recycling methods in Section
7C. When a quantity is reported in Section 8.4 as
recycled on-site, the type of recovery method
must be reported in Section 7C, and vice'versa.
Reporting quantities in Section 8. This section
is mandatory: under no circumstances should a
reporting facility leave Section 8 entirely blank,
even if the facility does not engage in source
reduction or recycling activities. It is incorrect to
use range codes to report quantities in Section 8.
Range codes can be used only in Sections 5 and 6
of Form R. It is incorrect to use the codes for
reporting the maximum amount of the reported
toxic chemical on-site in Section 4 to report quan-
tities in Section 8.
It is incorrect to enter "NA" (Not Applicable), in
columns A, B, C, or D in Section 8. Entering "NA"
in column A was allowable for the 1991 reporting
year only. Zero (0) can be used in columns A, B,
C, and D to indicate that the reported toxic chemi-
cal will not undergo a specific activity such as
treatment. Columns C and D, the future year
projections for questions 8.1 through 8.7, must be
completed. EPA expects a reasonable estimate
for the future year projections. Zero (0) can be
used in columns C and D to indicate that the
manufacture, processing, or otherwise use of the
chemical will be discontinued; in such cases,
columns C and D for Sections 8.1 through 8.7
must contain all zeroes.
Quantities reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7
must be mutually exclusive and additive. This
means that quantities of the reported toxic chemi-
cal should not be double-counted in Sections 8.1
through 8.7. Some facilities submitting Form Rs
have reported the same quantity of a toxic chemi-
cal as both treated and recycled on-site. Some
double-counting errors have been due to confu-
sion over the differences in how on-site treat-
ment of a toxic chemical is reported in Section 7A
G4 Appendix C
-------
as compared to Section 8. In Section 7A, informa-
tion on the treatment of waste streams contain-
ing the toxic chemical is reported, along with the
percent efficiency in terms of destruction or re-
moval of the toxic chemical from each waste
stream. In Section 8, only the quantity of the toxic
chemical actually destroyed through the treat-
ment processes reported in Section 7A is re-
ported in Section 8.6 to avoid double-counting
within Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
For example, a facility submits a Form R for
nickel compounds. The facility treats wastewa-
ters containing the nickel compounds and re-
moves the nickel with a 99 percent efficiency.
The facility then further reclaims the nickel and
makes it available for continued use in its manu-
facturing processes. In completing Form R, the
facility should report the treatment of the waste-
waters with a 99 percent efficiency for the re-
moval of the nickel in Section 7A, the method of
recovery for the nickel in Section 7C, and only the
amount of nickel made available for further use
after reclamation as a quantity recycled on-site.in
Section 8.4. Any quantities released or disposed,
including releases from either the treatment or
recycling activities, should be reported in Section
8.1. The facility should not report the quantity of
nickel removed from the wastewaters as a quan-
tity treated on-site in Section 8.6 because report-
ing the same quantity as both treated and recycled
on-site doubles the quantity of nickel that was
treated and subsequently recycled on-site.
Quantities reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7
must not be reported in Section 8.8 and vice
versa.
For example, 10,000 pounds of a toxic chemical is
spilled due to non-production related activities
during the reporting year. Of the total 10,000
pounds, 2,500 pounds volatilized and were re-
leased directly to the air and the remaining 7,500
pounds were collected and sent off-site for treat-
ment. The total 10,000 pounds would be re-
ported in Section 8.8. The 2,500 pound release to
air would be reported in Section 5.1 as a fugitive
emission, but it would not be reported in Section
8.1. The 7,500 pound transferred off-site for
treatment would be reported in Section 6.2, but it
would not be reported in Section 8.7.
Reporting toxic chemicals inRCRA wastes. Any
time a reported toxic chemical is contained in a
waste that is identified under RCRA, and the
waste is associated with routine production-re-
lated activities and is recycled, combusted for
energy recovery, treated, or disposed either on-
or off-site, that quantity of the toxic chemical
must be included in the quantities reported in
Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.1, "Quantity
released." Facilities have incorrectly completed
this element in several ways. Often, quantities of
the reported toxic chemical that are released or
disposed on-site and reported in Section 5 of the
form are not reported in Section 8.1. Also, quan-
tities of the reported toxic chemical transferred
off-site for the purposes of disposal are reported
in Section 6.2 but not in Section 8.1.
To correctly report in Section 8.1, a facility must
include the following quantities of the reported
toxic chemical that are released directly to the
environment, disposed of on-site, or sent off-site
for disposal that are not associated with a cata-
strophic or non-production related activity.
Quantities released directly to the environment
and disposed on-site
Fugitive or non-point air emissions (Section 5.1)
Stack or point air emissions (Section 5.2)
Discharges to receiving streams or water bodies
(Section 5.3)
Underground injections pn-site (Section 5.4)
Release to land on-site
landfill (Section 5.5.1)
land treatment/application farming
(Section 5.5.2)
surface impoundment (Section 5.5.3)
other disposal (Section 5.5.4)
Include in these quantities any direct releases
from any treatment, recycling, or energy recov-
ery activities.
Quantities disposed off-site
These are quantities that are reported in Section
6.2 and associated with the following codes:
M10 Storage Only;
M71 Underground Injection;
M72 Landfill/Disposal Surface Impoundment;
M73 Land Treatment;
M79 Other Land Disposal;
M90 Other Off-Site Management;
M94 Transfer to Waste BrokerDisposal; and
M99 Unknown.
Appendix C C-5
-------
Do not include in Section 8.1 any of the follow-
ing quantities:
Direct releases or fugitive emissions from
remedial actions, catastrophic events, or one-
time events not associated with production pro-
cesses (these quantities are reported in Section
8.8 only).
Quantities of the toxic chemical associated
with non-production related activities, such as
catastrophic releases and remedial actions, as
well as other one-time events not associated with
routine production practices that were disposed
on-site or sent off-site for disposal (these quanti-
ties are reported in Section 8.8 only).
Reporting quantities in Section 8.2, "Quantity
used for energy recovery on-site." A quantity
must be reported in Section 8.2 for the current
(reporting)yearwhenamethodof on-site energy
recovery is reported in Section 7B, and vice versa.
An error facilities make when completing Form
R is to report the methods of energy recovery
used on-site in Section 7B but not report the total
quantity associated with those methods. An-
other error is to report a quantity in this section if
the combustion of the toxic chemical took place
in a system that did not recover energy (e.g. an
incinerator). It is also incorrect to report a quan-
tity of the toxic chemical as combusted for energy
recovery if the toxic chemical does not have a
BTU (British Thermal Unit) value high enough to
sustain combustion. Examples of toxic chemicals
that do not have heating values high enough to
sustain combustion include metals, CFCs, and
halons.
Do not include in Section 8.2 any quantities of the
toxic chemical associated with non-production
related activities, such as catastrophic releases
and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production
practices, that were combusted for energy recov-
ery on-site.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.3, "Quantity
used for energy recovery off-site." As in Section
8.2, it is an error to report a quantity in this section
if the off-site combustion of the toxic chemical
took place in a system that did not recover energy
(e.g. an incinerator). It is also incorrect to report
a quantity of the toxic chemical as sent off-site for
thepurposesof energy recovery if the toxic chemi-
cal does not have a BTU (British Thermal Unit)
value high enough to sustain combustion. Ex-
amples of toxic chemicals that do not have heat-
ing values high enough to sustain combustion
include metals, CFCs, and halons. It is an error to
not include quantities in Section 8.3 that are
reported in Section 6.2 as transferred off-site for
the purposes of combustion for energy recovery
using the following codes:
M56 Energy Recovery; and
M92 Transfer to Waste Broker-Energy Recovery.
Do not include in Section 8.3 any quantities of the
toxic chemical associated with non-production
related activities such as catastrophic releases
and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production
practices, that were sent off-site for the purposes
of combustion for energy recovery (these quanti-
ties are reported in Section 8.8 only).
Reporting quantities in Section 8.4, "Quantity
recycled on-site." A quantity must be reported
in Section 8.4 for the current (reporting) year
when a method of on-site recycling is reported in
Section 7C, and vice versa. An error facilities
make when completing Form R is to report the
methods of recycling used on-site in Section 7C
but not report the total quantity recovered using
those methods. In addition, only the amount of
the chemical that was actually recovered is to be
reported in Section 8,4.
Do not include in Section 8.4 any quantities of the
toxic chemical associated with non-production
related activities such as catastrophic releases
and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production
practices, that were recycled on-site.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.5, "Quantity
recycled off-site." It is an error to not include
quantities in Section 8.3 that are reported in
Section 6.2 as transferred off-site for the purposes
of recycling using the following codes:
M20 Organics recovery;
M24 Metals recovery;
M26 Other recovery;
M28 Acid regeneration; and
M93 Transfer to Waste Broker-Recycling.
Do not report in Section 8.5 the quantity actually
recycled at the off-site facility facilities should
report the quantity that was sent off-site for the
C-6 Appendix C
-------
purposes of recycling. Do not include in Section
8.5 any quantities of the toxic chemical associated
with non-production related activities such as
catastrophic releases and remedial actions, as
well as other one-time events not associated with
routine production practices, that were sent off-
site for the purposes of recycling (these quanti-
ties are reported in Section 8.8 only).
Reporting quantities in Section 8.6, "Quantity
treated on-site." Quantities may not always
have to be reported in Section 8.6 when Section
7A is completed. This is because the information
reported in Sections 7 and 8 is different; informa-
tion on how waste streams containing the re-
ported toxic chemical are treated is reported in
Section 7, while the quantity of the toxic chemical
actually destroyed as a result of on-site treatment
is reported in Section 8.6. If a quantity is reported
in Section 8.6, Section 7A must be completed.
This may result in apparent discrepancies be-
tween Sections 7 and 8. For example, a facility
may treat wastewaters containing a toxic chemi-
cal by removing the toxic chemical and then
disposing of it on-site. The treatment of the
wastewaters would be reported in Section 7A,
with an efficiency estimate based on the amount
of the toxic chemical removed from the wastewa-
ters. As the toxic chemical undergoes treatment
and then disposal, the facility would report only
the amount of the toxic chemical actually de-
stroyed during treatment in Section 8.6 and the
amount ultimately disposed in Section 8.1 in
order to avoid double-counting the same quan-
tity in Section 8. In cases where the toxic chemi-
cal is not destroyed during a treatment process
and subsequently enters another activity, such as
disposal (e.g., metals removed from wastewaters
and subsequently disposed on-site), the quantity
of the toxic chemical would be reported as dis-
posed in Section 8.1, not as treated in Section 8.6.
Do not include in Section8.6 any quantities of the
toxic chemical associated with non-production
related activities such as catastrophic releases
and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production
practices, that were treated on-site.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.7, "Quantity
treated off-site." It is an error to not include
quantities in Section 8.7 that are reported in
Section 6.2 as transferred off-site for the purposes
of treatment and associated using the following
codes:
M40 Solidification/stabilization;
M50 Incineration/thermal treatment;
M54 Incineration/Insignificant Fuel Value;
M61 Wastewater treatment (excluding POTW);
M69 Other treatment; and
M95 Transfer to Waste Broker-Waste Treatment.
In addition to those quantities, facilities should
report any quantity that is transferred to a POTW
(as reported in Section 6.1) in Section 8.7.
Do not include in Section 8.7 any quantities of the
toxic chemical associated with non-production
related activities such as catastrophic releases.
and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production
practices, that were sent off-site for the purposes
of treatment or discharged to a POTW (these
quantities are reported in Section 8.8 only).
Reporting quantities in Section 8.8, "Quantity
released to the environment as a result of reme-
dial actions, catastrophic events, or one-time
events not associated with production pro-
cesses." Report in Section 8.8 those quantities
associated with non-production related activi-
ties such as catastrophic releases and remedial
actions, as well as other one-time events not
associated with routine production practices, that
were released directly to the environment, dis-
posed on-site, or transferred off-site for the pur-
poses of recycling, energy recovery, treatment or
disposal. Quantities reported in Section 8.8 must
not be reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
Reporting the production ratio in Section 8.9. A
production ratio or activity index must be pro-
vided in Section 8.9. A zero is not acceptable and
"NA" (Not Applicable), can be used only when
the reported toxic chemical was not manufac-
tured, processed, or otherwise used in the year
prior to the reporting year.
Reporting source reduction activities in Sec-
tion 8.10. It is an error to report a source reduc-
tion activity in Section 8.10 and not report at least
one method used to identify that activity and vice
versa.

APPENDIX D. SUPPLIER NOTIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS
Because manufacturers reportingunder section 313 must
know the toxic chemical composition of the products they
use to be able to accurately calculate releases, EPA re-
quires 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 mustnotify 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 may be 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 customers
in SIC codes 20-39 or distributors who in turn sell that
product to facilities in SIC codes 20-39. Unless you know
otherwise, you should assume that the chain of 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 prod-
uct contains a toxic chemical or chemicals subject
to the reporting requirements of EPCRA section
313(40CFR372);
(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 (2)
requirement. The customer must be told the weight
percent of the entire compound within a listed toxic
chemical category present in the mixture.
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
The requirednotifkation mustbe provided at least annu-
ally in writing. Acceptable forms of notice include letters,
product labeling, and product literature distributed 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 noti-
fication must be attached to the MSDS or the MSDS must
be modified to include the required information. (A
sample letter and recommended text for inclusion in an
MSDS appear 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 notification
must include the section 313 notice. In other words, your
customers should understand their requirement to in-
clude the section 313 notification if they give your MSDS
to their customers.
When Notification Must Be Provided
In general/ you must notify each customer receiving a
mixture or trade name product containing a listed toxic
chemical with the first shipment of each calendar year.
You may send the notice with subsequent shipments as
well, but it is required that you send it with the first
shipment each year. Once customers have been provided
with an MSDS containing the section 313 information,
you may refer to the MSDS by a written letter in subse-
quent 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 dur-
ing 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 begun 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.
In these cases, you must:
(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 prod-
ucts 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 gen-
eral 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 contained
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, decabr omodiphenyl
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 statement 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 percentage a trade
secret, the notification may state that the mixture
contains toluene at no more than 15 percent by
weight. The upper bound value chosen must be
no larger than necessary to adequately protect
the trade secret.
If you claim this information to be trade secret, you must,
have documentation 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 suppprtingmaterials used
to develop the notice;
(3) If claiming a specific toxic chemical identity a
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.

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 incorrect
data may result in EPA issuing a Notice of Technical Error
to the facility.
Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator.
Longitude is the distance east or west of the prime merid-
ian (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 available
in 7.5 x 15 minute increments with a scale of 1:25000 (i.e.,
one inch on the map represents approximatelyfour miles).
It is very important that latitude and longitude measure-
ments 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 cor-
responding to the numbered general area of in-
terest 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 ofTopogmphic 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 facility 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 Tour Facility's Latitude
and Longitude
(See diagram next page.)
Once you have obtained the correct map for your facility:
(1) Mark the location of your facility on the map with
a point. If your facility is large, choose a point
central to the production activities of the facility.
If certain structures in your facility are repre-
sented on the, map, mark one of the structures
with a point.
(2) Construct a small rectangle around the point
with fine pencil lines connecting the nearest 21/
2' or 5' graticules. Graticules are intersections of
latitude and longitude lines that are marked on
the map edge, and appear as black crosses at four
points in the interior of the map.
Read and record the latitude arid 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.]
For example:
Point distance =
Total distance =
99.5 x 150"

(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 lon-
gitude 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
line to the west line of the small quad-
rangle (the total distance).
Determine the number of seconds to be added to the
longitude recorded in step 3 by using the ratio:
Point distance
Total distance x 150" = increment of longitude
between lines
For example:
Point distance =
Total distance =
