Administrator Carol M. Browner signing proposed
expansion of the TRI chemical reporting list, Jan. 6,1994.
Message from the Administrator
This report presents the Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI) data collected for 1992, the sixth
year of this public right-to-know program. TRI gives
the public direct access to information about
environmental releases of toxic chemicals from
industrial facilities in communities across the nation.
TRI has become a powerful tool for preventing
pollution and reducing risks from these chemicals.
The data in this document show that reported
releases of listed toxic chemicals continue to decline.
In all, reported releases have dropped about 35%
since 1988. But the total amount of toxic chemical
waste generated by industry is not declining. In fact
industry reported producing more toxic waste in
1992 than in 1991, and similar increases are
projected for 1993 and 1994. So while industry may
be improving its management of toxic chemical
waste, clearly there are still many opportunities for
preventing pollution by reducing the use of toxic
chemicals.
This year, we made substantial progress in
expanding TRI so that it will work even more
effectively as a tool for pollution prevention.
• EPA added 34 toxic chemicals and chemical categories to the TRI list and proposed to add 313 more.
This proposed addition will nearly double the number of listed chemicals.
• In August of 1993, President Clinton signed an Executive Order requiring federal facilities—not just
private industry—to report on their toxic releases. Beginning with the 1994 reporting year, federal
facilities that meet TRI reporting thresholds will be required to report to the public on their toxic
releases.
• EPA is now undertaking to add non-manufacturing industries to the list of facilities required to report
their toxic releases. Many such industries release or transfer significant amounts of toxic chemicals.
The expansion of TRI will give the public more complete information about potential risks from toxic
chemicals in their communities.
I urge individuals and representatives of communities, government, public interest groups, and business
to use this information. Contact the resources listed in this report for more information. Access the computer
database for specific information about the facilities that concern you. Above all, I urge you to act on what
you learn. Let's put this information to work for a cleaner and safer, environment.

1992 TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY
PUBLIC DATA RELEASE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MAJOR FINDINGS
Reported industrial releases of toxic chemicals into the nation's environment in 1992 totalled
3.182 billion pounds, a decline of 6.6% since 1991 and 35% since 1988.
The total quantity of toxic chemicals in waste generated by industry in 1992 has increased
slightly since 1991, to about 37.3 billion pounds.
Transfers of toxic chemicals to off-site locations for treatment, disposal, and other waste
management in 1992 totalled 4.368 billion pounds, an increase of nearly 17% since 1991. Most of this
increase was due to increased transfers for recycling.
About 36% of all facilities reporting to TRI reported implementing source reduction activities to
reduce the quantity of toxic chemicals generated in waste.
Releases and transfers of the 17 chemicals targeted through EPA's 33/50 Program of voluntary
reductions have declined more than 40% since 1988, exceeding by more than 100 million pounds the
program's 1992 interim reduction goal of 33%.
CHAPTER 1: 1992 TRI RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
A total of 23,630 facilities submitted 81,016 individual chemical reports to TRI in 1992.
Reported industrial releases of toxic chemicals into the nation's environment totalled 3.182
billion pounds in 1992. More than half of this amount, about 58%, was released to the nation's air.
Figure E-l presents 1992 TRI releases by environmental media.
Reported transfers of chemicals off-site for treatment, disposal, and other waste management
totalled 4.368 billion pounds in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of this amount consisted of transfers off-site for
recycling. Transfers to off-site locations for disposal constituted less than 6% of all off-site transfers.
Figure E-2 presents off-site transfers by transfer type.

Executive Summary mm
The five states with the largest quantities of total TRI releases (including underground injection
of waste) are Louisiana (465 million pounds), Texas (420 million pounds), Tennessee (194 million
pounds), Ohio (144 million pounds), and Indiana (124 million pounds). These same five states have the
greatest quantities of TRI chemicals released to air, water and land (excluding underground injection),
although Ohio drops to fifth place.
The top five industries for total TRI releases (including underground injection) are chemical
manufacturing (1.536 billion pounds), primary metals (345 million pounds), paper manufacturing (233
million pounds), plastics (138 million pounds), and transportation equipment (137 million pounds).
Figure E-3 illustrates the top 10 industries for total TRI releases in 1992.
The top 10 parent companies controlled slightly more than 1% of all facilities reporting to TRI,
but accounted for 31% of total TRI releases (including underground injection) and 24% of TRI releases
to air, water and land. The top 50 facilities reporting to TRI accounted for 42% of total TRI releases
(including underground injection) and 31% of TRI releases to air, water and land.
The top five chemicals for total TRI releases were ammonia, hydrochloric acid, methanol,
phosphoric acid, and toluene. The top five chemicals for releases to air, water and land were methanol,
ammonia, phosphoric acid, toluene, and acetone.

Executive Summary
A total of 197 million pounds of known or suspected carcinogens were released by facilities.
Facilities also reported releasing 166 million pounds of ozone-depleting chemicals, 283 million pounds
of metals and metal compounds, and 3 million pounds of bioaccumulators.
CHAPTER 2: PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
OF TRI CHEMICALS IN WASTE
Facilities reported generating 37.334 billion pounds of TRI chemicals in waste in 1992. This
quantity includes amounts recycled, burned for energy recovery, treated, and released or disposed, both
on-site and off-site. It includes only production-related quantities, not amounts generated as a result of
non-routine incidents, such as accidents and remedial activities. An additional 34 million pounds of
non-production related wastes were reported by facilities in 1992.
More than 50% of the toxic chemicals generated in waste was recycled by facilities, either on-
site or off-site. Only about 9% was released on-site or disposed off-site. Figure E-4 presents 1992
quantities of toxic chemicals in waste, by waste management technique.
The top five industries for total quantities of TRI chemicals in waste were chemical manu-
facturing (19.897 billion pounds), primary metals (4.044 billion pounds), petroleum (2.945 billion
pounds), paper (2.538 billion pounds), and electrical equipment (.964 billion pounds).

Executive Summary
Projected data (Table E-2) indicate that the total quantity of waste generated by facilities may
rise slightly in 1993 and 1994, Percentages of waste undergoing recycling and energy recovery are
projected to increase slightly, while percentages treated and released or disposed are projected to
decrease slightly.
Thirty-six percent of all facilities reported undertaking at least one source reduction activity to
reduce the quantity of TRI chemicals in waste. Twenty-five percent of all reporting forms received
reported source reduction. The most frequently reported source reduction activities were good operating
practices, process modifications, and spill and leak prevention activities.
CHAPTER 3: YEAR-TO-YEAR COMPARISON OF TRI DATA
In order to control for changes in the chemical list over time, all year-to-year comparisons are
based on a consistent list of only those chemicals that were reportable for all years being compared. The
1991-1992 comparisons include some chemicals that were added to the TRI list after 1988; the
1988-1992 comparisons do not. Therefore, totals for 1991 and 1992 in the 1991-1992 comparison do
not match totals for 1991 and 1992 presented in the 1988-1992 comparison. Although TRI data were
collected for 1987, 1988 has been selected as the baseline year for the program because of concerns
about the data quality of industry's first-year submissions.
Reported industrial releases of toxic chemicals dropped 6.6% since 1991, a decrease of
224 million pounds. In all, reported releases have dropped 35% since 1988.
Table E-3 presents release and transfer data for 1991 and 1992, including percent changes for
each release and transfer type. Figure E-5 illustrates environmental releases by release type for each
year 1988-1992.

Executive Summary ~,
Air emissions have declined 9.4% since 1991, from 2.037 billion pounds to 1.845 billion pounds.
Much of this decrease was attributable to decreased releases of a variety of solvents, ammonia, and
chlorine. Air emissions have decreased 32% since 1988.
Surface water discharges increased 12.2%, from 243 million pounds in 1991 to 273 million
pounds in 1992. This increase was due to increased run-off releases of phosphoric acid from four
fertilizer manufacturing facilities in Louisiana and Texas. Excluding these releases from the national
totals, other water releases actually decreased by 11.5% since 1991. Overall, water releases have
declined 12% since 1988.
Releases to land decreased 18.6% since 1991, from 415 million pounds in 1991 to about
338 million pounds in 1992. Land releases have declined 34% since 1988.
Underground injection of waste increased 2.2%, from 710 million pounds in 1991 to 726 million
pounds in 1992. Underground injection of waste has dropped 46% since 1988.
Reported transfers of toxic chemicals to off-site locations for treatment, disposal, and other
waste management increased 17% since 1991. This increase of 631 million pounds was primarily due to
transfers for recycling, which increased 25% since 1991. Transfers for energy recovery and for

treatment also increased. See Table E-3 for 1991 and 1992 transfer data by transfer type, including
percent changes. 1992 transfers cannot be directly compared to 1988 transfers because of a change in
reporting requirements that took effect in 1991.
CHAPTER 4: TRI REPORTING PROFILES FOR
33/50 PROGRAM CHEMICALS
The 33/50 Program is a voluntary pollution prevention initiative that targets 17 TRI chemicals
for reductions in releases and transfers. Goals for the 33/50 Program are a 33% reduction by the 1992
reporting year, and a 50% reduction by the 1995 reporting year, measured against 1988 TRI data. 33/50
Program goals include all releases, as well as transfers to off-site locations for treatment and disposal.
Transfers for recycling and energy recovery are not included because they were not reportable in 1988.
Releases and transfers of these 17 targeted chemicals have declined more than 40% since 1988,
exceeding by more than 100 million pounds the program's interim reduction goal of 33%. Figure B-6
presents the combined releases and transfers of these 17 chemicals for each year 1988 to 1992, as well as
the reduction goals for the 33/50 Program, Because the 33/50 Program was not initiated until 1991,
reductions achieved between 1988 and 1990 contribute to the national reduction goals but should not be
viewed as resulting from the 33/50 Program.
Releases and transfers of these 17 chemicals declined by about 10.4% between 1991 and 1992.
This rate of decrease was four times the rate for all other TRI chemicals between 1991 and 1992.

1992 TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY
PUBLIC DATA RELEASE;
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY?
The Toxics Release Inventory, or TRI, is a publicly available database that contains specific
toxic chemical release and transfer information from manufacturing facilities throughout the United
States. This inventory was established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), which Congress passed to promote planning for chemical emergencies
and to provide information to the public about the presence and release of toxic and hazardous
chemicals in their communities. Following passage of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, the
TRI was expanded to include mandatory reporting of additional waste management and pollution
prevention activities. The chemical-specific and facility-specific information collected under these
laws can be used by the public to identify facilities and release patterns that warrant further study
and analysis. Combined with hazard and exposure information, TRI has proven to be an invaluable
tool for risk identification.
Each year, manufacturing facilities meeting certain activity thresholds must report their
estimated releases and transfers of listed toxic chemicals to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and to the state or tribal entity in whose jurisdiction the facility is located. The TRI list for
1992 included more than 300 chemicals and 20 chemical categories. A separate report, called a
Form R, is required for each chemical the facility has manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in
amounts exceeding the thresholds.
Reports for each calendar year are due by July 1 of the following year. After completion of
data entry and data quality assurance activities, EPA makes the data available to the public in a
printed report, in a computer database, and through a variety of other information products. States
also make available to the public copies of the forms filed by facilities in their jurisdiction.
This document summarizes data collected for calendar year 1992. Industry reporting forms
for 1992 were due to EPA and the states by July 1,1993. This document also provides basic data for
the two preceding years (1990 and 1991) and for the baseline year (1988) for comparison purposes.
Although the first data were collected for calendar year 1987, 1988 has been selected as the baseline
year because of concerns about the data quality of industry's first-year submissions. Data collected
for 1989 can be obtained from the on-line computer database.

-------
Introduction
WHO MUST REPORT?
Manufacturing facilities that have 10 or more full-time employees and meet the established
thresholds for manufacturing, processing, or otherwise using listed chemicals must report their
releases and transfers. Thresholds for manufacturing and processing are currently 25,000 pounds for
each listed chemical, while the threshold for otherwise use is 10,000 pounds per chemical. Manu-
facturing facilities are defined as facilities in Standard Industrial Classification primary codes 20-39,
which include, among others: chemicals, petroleum refining, primary metals, fabricated metals,
paper, plastics, and transportation equipment.
WHAT MUST BE REPORTED?
TRI contains a great deal of information in addition to release and transfer estimates. Facili-
ties must provide identifying information, such as name, location, type of business, contact names,
name of parent company, and environmental permit numbers; information about the manufacture,
process, and use of the listed chemical and the maximum amount on-site during the year; release and
transfer estimates for each environmental medium and type of transfer; locations of off-site transfers;
and waste treatment methods and efficiencies.
Beginning with the 1991 reports, facilities were required to provide additional information
about waste management and source reduction activities. These additional data elements include
quantities of the listed chemical recycled, combusted for energy recovery, and treated on-site,
quantities transferred off-site for recycling and energy recovery, source reduction activities imple-
mented, and methods used to identify those activities. Companies must also provide a production
index that can help relate changes in reported quantities of toxic chemicals in waste to changes in
production. These additional data elements work with the original data to complete the under-
-------
Introduction
Industry can use the data to obtain an overview of use and release of toxic chemicals, to
identify and reduce costs associated with toxic waste, to identify promising areas of pollution
prevention, to establish reduction targets, and to measure and document progress toward reduction
goals. The public availability of the data has prompted many facilities to work with their communi-
ties to develop effective strategies for reducing environmental and human health risks posed by toxic
chemical releases.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA?
While the TRI includes over 80,000 reports from approximately 23,000 facilities each year, it
captures only a portion of all toxic chemical releases nationwide. Facilities with fewer than 10
employees and facilities that do not meet chemical thresholds are not required to file TRI reports.
Non-manufacturing facilities currently are not required to report. EPA is developing a proposed rule
that would add additional industries to the TRI. For this effort, EPA is looking at an array of non-
manufacturing industries that release and/or transfer significant amounts of TRI chemicals. Many
toxic chemicals, including some chemicals regulated under other environmental statutes, currently
are not listed under EPCRA section 313. EPA recently finalized the addition of more than thirty
chemicals and proposed the addition of more than 300 chemicals to the TRI list.
TRI requires the reporting of estimated data and does not mandate that facilities monitor their
releases. Various estimation techniques are used where monitoring data is not available, and EPA
has published estimation guidance for the regulated community. Variances between facilities can
result from the use of different estimation methodologies. While EPA has an active and aggressive
enforcement component, there is not one hundred percent compliance with the reporting
requirements. This should be taken into account when considering data accuracy and completeness.
As discussed above, the TRI data summarized in this report reflect chemical releases,
transfers, and waste management activities that occurred in the 1992 calendar year. Release and
transfer patterns can change dramatically from one year to the next, so it is important to recognize
that current facility activities may be different than those reported for 1992. Each year, EPA has
been able to reduce the amount of time required to process and make available the forms received.
Particularly as more facilities switch from paper to magnetic media submissions, the amount of time
required for data processing and quality assurance will continue to decrease, allowing EPA to make
the TRI data available more quickly following the submission deadline.
TRI reports reflect releases of chemicals, not exposures of the public to those chemicals.
Release estimates alone are not sufficient to determine exposure or to calculate potential adverse
effects on human health and the environment. Although additional information is necessary to
assess exposure and risk, TRI data can be used to identify areas of potential concern.
PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
On August 3, 1993, President Clinton signed a new Executive Order pledging the Federal
government to protect the environment by preventing pollution at the source. This executive order
applies Federal Right-to-Know laws, including TRI reporting requirements, to all Federal facilities
15
-------
Introduction
beginning in 1994, Federal facilities meeting the TRI chemical thresholds will have to file TRI
reports, regardless of whether or not they are engaged in manufacturing. The first reports under this
executive order will be due to EPA by July 1,1995.
On November 30, 1993, EPA finalized the addition of more than thirty chemicals to the TRI
list. EPA added 11 hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) because of their potential to damage the
earth's protective ozone layer, leading to adverse human health and environmental effects. EPA
also added 21 chemicals and 2 chemical categories that were listed under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act. These chemicals will be reportable beginning with calendar year 1994, with the
first reports due by July 1, 1995.
On January 12,1994, EPA proposed the addition of 313 toxic chemicals to the TRI list,
including hazardous air pollutants, carcinogens, ozone depleters, and pesticide active ingredients.
This addition would nearly double the number of chemicals reportable to TRI. EPA intends to
finalize these additions by November 30, 1994, in order to make these chemicals reportable for the
1995 calendar year.
As discussed above, EPA is currently developing a proposed rule that would add additional
industries to TRI. Announcement of a partial list of candidate industry sectors that will form the
basis of the proposal is expected to coincide with this release of the 1992 TRI data. Following this
announcement, EPA will continue refining its analysis, will conduct general public meetings to
discuss the analysis, and will begin a dialogue process with industries under consideration for
addition.
With the expansion of chemicals and industries subject to TRI reporting, EPA is considering
crafting a threshold modification to eliminate chemical reports with low volume releases and
transfers. This is partially in response to receipt of a petition submitted by the Small Business
Administration to exempt low level releases, and may provide a means of eliminating reports that
contain data of marginal utility, while preserving maximum information utility and availability,
particularly at the local level.
EPA initiated a public dialog process in early 1993 to address issues associated with
reporting the new data required by the Pollution Prevention Act. In this process, representatives of
environmental groups, industry, states, and aeademia were convened to discuss issues and provide
EPA with advice and recommendations for resolving them. EPA anticipates promulgation of final
guidance for reporting the Pollution Prevention Act data by 1995.

Introduction
HOW CAN I OBTAIN ADDITIONAL TRI INFORMATION?
This report contains 1992 TRI data and limited comparison data for 1988, 1990 and 1991.
The TRI database is accessible to the public via on-line telecommunications through the National
Library of Medicine's TOXNET system. Information about accessing the TRI database through
TOXNET is provided in Appendix B. Other potential sources of TRI information include the state
EPCRA section 313 contact, the EPA Regional Office, the State Emergency Response Commission,
the Local Emergency Planning Committee, or the facility itself. Information about EPA Regional .
and state EPCRA section 313 contacts is found in Appendix G. .
EPA has prepared a number of documents to assist citizens, the news media, local and state
governmental officials and others in using the TRI and other EPCRA data. These materials describe
where the information can be obtained, its strengths and limitations, and how the data can be used in
programs to protect public health and enhance environmental quality. To request copies of TRI and
EPCRA documents or to obtain further information about the program, citizens should call their state
Section 313 contact or the toll-free Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Information Hotline at 1-800-535-0202.

1992 TRI RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides information reported by facilities for calendar year 1992 on releases of
toxic chemicals at the facility and transfers of chemicals off-site by the facility for the purposes of
treatment, disposal, energy recovery, and recycling. Figure 1-1 illustrates the media to which on-site
releases can occur and the off-site transfers for waste management that are reported. These data are
presented in three ways: by state, by industry and by chemical. The chemical section provides data
on chemicals that may be of special interest to the public, as well as a complete listing of releases
and transfers of all chemicals.
In 1992, there were 3.182 billion pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment.
Direct releases included 1.845 billion pounds released to air, 273 million pounds released to surface
water, and 338 million pounds released to land. An additional 726 million pounds were injected
underground. (See Table 1-1, Figure 1-2).
Facilities also sent a total of 4.368 billion pounds of toxic chemicals to off-site locations for
treatment, disposal, energy recovery, and recycling. The bulk of these off-site transfers, 2.84 billion
pounds, were sent off-site to be recycled. In addition, 478 million pounds of toxic chemicals were
sent off-site for energy recovery, 393 million pounds were transferred off-site for treatment,
259 million pounds of toxic chemicals were transferred off-site for disposal, and 381 million pounds
were sent to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). An additional 17 million pounds of toxic
chemicals were reported with no waste management codes or invalid codes and are listed as "Other
Off-site Transfers." (See Table 1-2, Figure 1-3).
AN EXPLANATION OF RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
Releases
A release is an on-site discharge of a toxic chemical to the environment. This includes
emissions to the air, discharges to bodies of water, releases at the facility to land, as well as
contained disposal into underground injection wells. The left side of Figure 1-1 illustrates these
release types.

Chapter 1 •— 1992 Tftl Releases and Transfers
Releases to Air
Releases to air are reported either as fugitive or stack emissions. Stack emissions are releases
to air that occur through confined air streams, such as stacks, vents, ducts, or pipes. Fugitive emis-
sions are all releases to air that are not released through a confined air stream. Fugitive emissions
include equipment leaks, evaporative losses from surface impoundments and spills, and releases
from building ventilation systems.
Releases to Water
Releases to water include discharges to streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of
water. This includes releases from contained sources, such as industrial process outflow pipes or
open trenches. Releases due to runoff, including stormwater runoff, are also reported to TRI.
Underground Injection
Underground injection is a contained release of a fluid into a subsurface well for the purpose
of waste disposal. Wastes containing TRI chemicals are injected into either Class I wells or Class V
wells. Class I wells are used to inject liquid hazardous wastes or dispose of industrial and municipal
waste waters beneath the lowermost underground source of drinking water. Class V wells are
generally used to inject non-hazardous fluid into or above an underground source of drinking water.
Currently, TRI reporting does not distinguish between these two types of wells, although there are
important differences in environmental impact between these two forms of injection.
Releases to Land
Releases to land occur within the boundaries of the reporting facility. Releases to land
include disposal of toxic chemicals in wastes to a landfill (in which waste is buried), to land treat-
ment/application farming (in which a waste containing a listed chemical is applied to or incorporated
into soil), and to a surface impoundment (which is an uncovered holding area used to volatilize and/
or settle waste materials), and to other land disposal (such as spills, leaks, or waste piles).
Off-site Transfers
An off-site transfer is a transfer of toxic chemicals in wastes to a facility that is geo-
graphically or physically separate from the facility reporting under TRI. Chemicals reported under
TRI as transferred off-site are sent to off-site facilities for the purposes of either recycling, energy
recovery, treatment, or disposal. The quantities reported represent a movement of the chemical away
from the reporting facility. Except for off-site transfers for disposal, these quantities do not neces-
sarily represent entry of the chemical into the environment. The right side of Figure 1-1 illustrates
transfer types.
Transfers to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs)
A POTW is a wastewater treatment facility that is owned by a state or local municipality.
Wastewaters from facilities reporting under TRI are transferred through pipes or sewers to the
POTW. Treatment or removal of a chemical from the wastewater depends upon the nature of the

chemical, as well as the treatment methods present at the POTW. In general, chemicals that are
easily utilized as nutrients by microorganisms, are volatile, or have a low solubility in water are
likely to be removed to some extent. Chemicals that are volatile will evaporate into the atmosphere.
Some chemicals, such as metals, may be removed, but are not destroyed and are disposed of in
landfills. Not all TRI chemicals can be treated or removed by a POTW. Those that are not removed
or destroyed by treatment are released by the POTW to surface waters.
Transfers Off-site for Recycling
Toxic chemicals in wastes that are sent off-site for the purposes of recycling are generally
recovered or regenerated by a variety of recycling methods, including solvent recovery, metals
recovery, and acid regeneration. The choice of the recycling method depends on the toxic chemical
being sent for recycling. Once they have been recycled, these chemicals may be returned to the
originating facility for further processing or made available for use in commerce.
Transfers Off-site for Energy Recovery
Toxic chemicals in wastes sent off-site for purposes of energy recovery are combusted off-
site in industrial furnaces (including kilns) or boilers that generate heat or energy for use at that
location. Treatment of a chemical by incineration is not considered to be energy recovery.
Transfers Off-site for Treatment
Toxic chemicals in wastes that are transferred off-site may be treated through a variety of
methods, including biological treatment, neutralization, incineration, and physical separation. These
methods typically result in varying degrees of destruction of the toxic chemical. In some cases (such
as stabilization or solidification), the chemical is not destroyed but is prepared for further waste
management, such as disposal.
Transfers Off-site for Disposal
Toxic chemicals in wastes that are transferred to a facility for disposal generally are either
released to land (see above) at the off-site facility or are injected underground.
Other Off-site Transfers
In this report, toxic chemicals in wastes that were reported as transferred off-site but for
which the off-site activity (i.e., treatment, disposal, energy recovery, or recycling) was not specified
have been classified as "other off-site transfers."
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN USING TRI DATA
Users of the TRI information should be aware that the TRI data reflect releases and transfers
of chemicals, not exposures of the public to those chemicals. The TRI data, in conjunction with
other information, can be used to evaluate the exposures that may result from releases and transfers
26
-------
Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
of toxic chemicals. The evaluation of exposures to these chemicals is one factor in determining
potential risks. The determination of potential risk depends upon many factors. The following are
some of these factors:
Toxicity of the Chemical
The TRI list consists of chemicals that vary widely in their ability to produce toxic effects.
• Some high-volume releases of less toxic chemicals may appear to be a more serious
problem than lower-volume releases of highly toxic chemicals, when just the opposite
may be true.
« For example, phosgene is toxic in smaller quantities than methanol.
Exposure Considerations
• Potential degradation or persistence of the chemical in the environment.
Exposure to a chemical is dependent upon how long the chemical remains unchanged in the
environment. Sunlight, heat, or microorganisms may or may not decompose the chemical.
* For example, microorganisms readily degrade some chemicals, such as methanol, into
less toxic chemicals; volatile organic chemicals, such as ethylene and propylene, react in
the atmosphere, contributing to smog; metals are persistent and will not be degraded upon
release to the environment.
• As a result, small releases of a persistent highly toxic chemical may create a more serious
problem than large releases of a chemical that is rapidly transformed in the environment.
• Bioconcentration of the chemical in the food chain.
The chemical may concentrate or may disperse as it moves up the food chain.
• Some chemicals, such as benzoic trichloride or mercury, will accumulate as they move up
the food chain.
• Small releases of a chemical that bioaccumulates may result in significant exposures to
consumers,
• The environmental medium (air, water, land or underground injection) to which the
toxic chemical has been released.
Chemical exposure of a population will depend on the environmental medium to which a
chemical is released. The medium also affects the type of exposure (such as inhalation,
dermal exposure, or ingestion).
27
-------
Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
• Releases of a chemical to the air can result in exposures to organisms living near and
downwind from facilities releasing toxic chemicals to the atmosphere. Persistent
chemicals may fall or be rained out of air onto land or into water bodies, resulting in
exposures via these environmental media.
» Exposure that results from releases to water bodies (streams, lakes, etc.) depends on the
downstream uses of the water, including drinking, cooking, and bathing.
• Releases to POTWs may result in exposure if chemicals are not removed through treat-
ment processes and are passed through the POTW to water bodies used by downstream
communities.
• Toxic chemicals released to land may be transported to other environmental media as a
result of run-off or migration of the chemical through the soil into underlying water
sources,
• Specially designed facilities such as Class I underground wells in which toxic chemicals
in wastes are injected into rock below underground sources of drinking water reduce the
potential exposure from land disposal. These wells are designed to entomb liquid wastes
for at least 10,000 years.
* Chemicals may enter the food chain through the presence of the toxic chemical in soil or
water.
The type of off-site facility receiving the chemical and the efficiency of its waste
management practices.
The amount of the chemical that ultimately enters the environment depends upon how the
toxic chemical was handled during disposal, treatment, energy recovery, or recycling, as is
illustrated in the following examples.
• The efficiency of recycling operations varies depending upon the method of recycling and
the chemical being recycled,
• Use of a combustible toxic chemical for energy recovery typically results in the destruc-
tion of 95% to 99% or more of the toxic chemical. The remaining quantity is either
released to the air or is disposed of in ash to land.
• The efficiency of the treatment of toxic chemicals in wastes sent to sewage treatment
plants varies depending on the chemical and the sewage plant. Some high volume
pollutants such as methanol are readily degraded by most sewage treatment plants. Other
high volume chemicals such as ammonia are not readily treated by most sewage treat-
ment plants and will pass through the plant into the aquatic environment. The efficiency
of other treatment methods, such as incineration, also depends upon the type of treatment
method and the nature of the chemical.

Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
• Toxic chemicals in wastes sent off-site for disposal are typically released to land or
injected underground.
Further information on the use of TRI data in determining potential risks can be found in
"Toxic Chemical Risk Screening Guide" (EPA 560/2-89-002), July 1989.
1992 TRI DATA BY STATE
The following figures and tables present the 1992 release and transfer data by state.
The maps in Figures 1-4 and 1-5 illustrate which states have the highest volumes of TRI
releases and transfers.
Table 1-3 presents TRI releases, by media, by state. Table 1-4 presents TRI transfers, by
transfer type, by state. Both tables are ordered alphabetically. No reports were received in 1992 for
the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands.
Table 1-5 ranks states by TRI releases to air, water, and land only (excluding underground
injection of waste). The top five states for total air/water/land releases are Louisiana, Texas,
Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio. Table 1-6 ranks states by total TRI releases, including underground
injection of waste. In this ranking, the same five states make up the top five, but Indiana drops to
fifth place behind Ohio.
EPA has offered these alternative ways to provide state rankings because substantial
questions have been raised about whether Class I injection wells are properly viewed as a direct
environmental discharge. Properly designed and constructed Class I injection wells have substan-
tially lower exposure potential than direct forms of release. Therefore, EPA believes it is appropriate
to provide rankings with and without underground injection to enable the public to focus on areas of
greater concern.
Although the top five states on Tables 1-5 and 1-6 are nearly identical, rankings for some
other states change dramatically, depending on whether the ranking includes underground injection.
For example, Kansas is ranked 27th for air/water/land releases (Table 1-5), but 10th for total releases
(including underground injection) (Table 1-6). Mississippi is ranked 16th for air/water/land releases,
but sixth for total releases.
Tables 1-7 through 1-12 illustrate the movement of off-site transfers of waste within and
between states. Table 1-7 presents transfers from one location to another within the same state.
Table 1-8 presents transfers received at locations in the state from TRI facilities outside that state
(imports of waste into the state). Table 1-9 adds the quantities in Tables 1-7 and 1-8, to give the
total quantity of transfers received at locations within a state, regardless of whether those transfers
originated at a TRI facility in that state or in another state.
Table 1-10 presents transfers from facilities in a state to locations outside that state (exports
of waste from that state to other states).

Table 1-11 presents the states that are net importers of TRI chemicals in wastes. These states
receive more transfers of TRI chemicals in waste from other states than they send to other states.
These states are ranked in descending order by total net quantity imported. In this table, a negative
number in a transfer category indicates that the state is a net exporter in that category, although it is a
net importer overall. The District of Columbia appears in this table because it receives waste from
facilities in other states, even though no facilities in the District of Columbia currently report to TRI.
Table 1-12 presents the states that are net exporters of TRI chemicals in waste. These states
transfer more TRI chemicals in waste to locations in other states than they receive from other states.
These states are ranked in descending order by total net quantity exported. In this table, a negative
number in a transfer category indicates that the state is a net importer in that category, even though it
is a net exporter overall.
Q Transfers reported without valid waste management codes.

1992 TRi DATA BY INDUSTRY
Tables 1-13 and 1-14 present TRI releases and transfers by industry, in SIC code order.
Facilities that reported two or more two-digit SIC codes within the range of 20-39 [for example,
paper (26) and chemicals (28)] are assigned to a "multiple codes" category, while facilities reporting
no codes or codes outside the 20-39 range (e.g., voluntary reporters) are assigned to a "no codes"
category.
The top five industries for total TRI releases are chemical manufacturing (SIC code 28),
primary metals (33), paper manufacturing (26), plastics (30), and transportation equipment (37).
Figure 1-6 clearly illustrates the predominance of the chemical manufacturing industry in TRI
release and transfer reporting.
© Facilities that reported more than one two-digit SIC code within the range of 20 to 39 [e.g., paper (26) and chemicals (28)],
(D Facilities that did not report an SIC code and facilities that reported SIC codes outside the 20 to 39 range.

Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
1992 TRI DATA BY CHEMICAL
The following tables provide the 1992 TRI data by chemical. Tables 1-21 and 1-22 list the
top 50 TRI chemicals with largest air, water, and land releases and largest total releases. Four of the
top five chemicals remain the same on both tables.
Tables 1-23 to 1-31 provide the top 15 chemicals released to each media and transferred off-
site for each waste management activity.
Use, Toxicity, and Environmental Fate Information
on the Top 10 Chemicals with Largest Total Releases
The following information on use, toxicity, and environmental fate is provided for the top 10
chemicals with largest total releases. (See Table 1-22).
Ammonia
Uses. Ammonia is used in the manufacture of various nitrogen compounds including nitric
acid, ammonium salts, urea, and chemicals that are used in the manufacture of nylon and plastics.
Ammonia is also used in refrigeration, paper and pulp production, explosives, cleaners, and metal
treating operations.
Toxicity. Anhydrous ammonia is a corrosive and severely irritating gas with a pungent odor;
it is irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and upper respiratory system.
Aqueous ammonia is moderately toxic to aquatic organisms.
Because it is a source of nitrogen, an essential element for aquatic plant growth, ammonia
may contribute to eutrophication of standing or slow-moving surface water. Eutrophication is a
result of the overgrowth of algae whose death and decay may lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen
in the water. Low levels of dissolved oxygen limit the type of aquatic organisms that can survive in
the water, possibly resulting in fish-kills.
Environmental Fate. Ammonia combines with sulfate ion in the atmosphere and is washed
out by rainfall, resulting in rapid return of ammonia to the soil and surface waters.
Ammonia is a central compound in the environmental cycling of nitrogen. Ammonia in
lakes, rivers, and streams is converted to nitrate.

Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
Hydrochloric acid
Uses. Hydrochloric acid has various uses, including neutralization of wastestreams/pH
adjustment of process waters, in the manufacture of chemicals, and in the cleaning and preparation
of metals for coatings.
Toxicity. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is corrosive. However, hydrochloric acid is
primarily a concern in its aerosol form. Acid aerosols have been implicated in causing and
exacerbating a variety of respiratory ailments.
Accidental releases of solution forms of hydrochloric acid may adversely affect aquatic life
by inducing a transient lowering of the pH (e.g., increasing the acidity) of a surface water.
Environmental Fate. Releases of hydrochloric acid to surface waters and soils will be
neutralized to an extent due to the buffering capacities of both systems. The extent of these reactions
will depend on the characteristics of the specific environment.
Methanol
Uses. Methanol is used as a solvent, as a raw material in the synthesis of organic chemicals,
as a fuel, as a deicing agent, and to denature ethanol.
Toxicity. Methanol is a flammable liquid that is likely to evaporate when exposed to air.
Methanol, which is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and the respiratory tract, is toxic
to humans in moderate to high doses. EPA review indicates low chronic toxicity. Observed toxic
effects generally include central nervous system damage and blindness. EPA is currently assessing
methanol for potential non-cancer, long-term effects when exposure occurs by inhalation.
Methanol is expected to have low toxicity to aquatic organisms. Concentrations lethal to half
the organisms of a test population are expected to exceed 1 milligram methanol per liter of water.
Methanol is not likely to persist in water or to bioaccumulate in aquatic life.
Environmental Fate. Methanol in the atmosphere can react with other atmospheric
chemicals or can be washed out by rain. Methanol is readily degraded by microorganisms in soils
and surface waters.
51
-------
I Chapter 1 —1992 TRl Releases and Transfers
Phosphoric acid
Uses. Phosphoric acid is a phosphate chemical used to make phosphate fertilizers and
agricultural chemicals; it is used in foods, i.e, soft drinks; it is used as a catalyst, and in the treatment
of metal surfaces.
Toxicity. Because it is a source of phosphorus, an essential element for aquatic plant growth,
phosphoric acid may contribute to eutrophication of standing or slow-moving surface water.
Eutrophication is the result of the overgrowth of algae whose death and decay may lead to depletion
of dissolved oxygen in the water. Low levels of dissolved oxygen limit the type of aquatic
organisms that can survive in the water, possibly resulting in fish-kills.
Environmental Fate. The acidity of phosphoric acid may be reduced readily by natural
water hardness minerals. The phosphate will persist until used by plants as a nutrient.
Toluene
Uses. Toluene is used in the manufacture of organic chemicals, such as benzoic acid and
benzaldehyde, as a solvent for paint, gums, and resins, and as an additive for gasoline.
Toxicity. Toluene can cause headaches, confusion, weakness and memory loss. Toluene
may also affect the way the kidneys and liver function.
Some studies have shown that unborn animals were harmed when high levels of toluene were
breathed in by their mothers, although the same effects were not seen when the mothers were fed
large quantities of toluene.
Reactions of toluene (see environmental fate) in the atmosphere contribute to the formation
of ozone in the lower atmosphere. Ozone can affect the respiratory system, especially in sensitive
individuals such as asthma or allergy sufferers.
Environmental Fate. Toluene is a volatile organic chemical. As such, toluene in the lower
atmosphere will react with other atmospheric components contributing to the formation of ozone in
the lower atmosphere and other air pollutants.
The majority of releases of toluene to land and water will evaporate. Toluene may also be
degraded by microorganisms.
52

Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
Sulfuric acid
Uses. Sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, in the manufacture of fertilizers and other
chemicals, in iron and steel pickling, in electroplating, in the production of rayon and film.
Toxicity. Concentrated sulfuric acid is corrosive. In its aerosol form, sulfuric acid has been
implicated in causing and exacerbating a variety of respiratory ailments.
Accidental releases of solution forms of sulfuric acid may adversely affect aquatic life by
inducing a transient lowering of the pH (e.g., increasing the acidity) of a surface water.
Sulfuric acid is also a component of acid rain. Acid rain can cause serious damage to crops
and forests.
Environmental Fate. Releases of sulfuric acid to surface waters and soils will be
neutralized to an extent due to the buffering capacities of both systems. The extent of these reactions
will depend on the characteristics of the specific environment.
In the atmosphere, aerosol forms of sulfuric acid contribute to acid rain. These aerosol forms
can travel large distances from the point of release before the acid is deposited on land and surface
waters in the form of rain.
Acetone
Uses, Acetone has many uses, including as a solvent in the manufacture of organic
chemicals and as a solvent in adhesives and printing inks. Acetone is an ingredient in paint, varnish,
and nail polish removers.
Toxicity. Symptoms of exposures to large quantities of acetone may include headache,
lassitude, drowsiness, vomiting, and respiratory depression.
Reactions of acetone (see environmental fate) in the atmosphere contribute to the formation
of ozone in the lower atmosphere. Ozone can affect the respiratory system, especially in sensitive
individuals such as asthma or allergy sufferers.
Environmental Fate. If released into water, acetone will be degraded by microorganisms or
will evaporate into the atmosphere. Degradation by microorganisms will be the primary removal
mechanism.
Acetone is a volatile organic chemical. As such, acetone in the lower atmosphere will react
with other atmospheric components, contributing to the formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere
and other air pollutants. EPA is re-evaluating acetone's reactivity in the lower atmosphere to
determine whether this contribution is negligible.

Chapter 1 — 1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
1,1,1 -Trichloroethane
Uses. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, which is also known as methyl chloroform, is used as a solvent,
as a dry cleaning agent, and as a degreasing agent for metal parts. By the year 1996,1,1,1-
trichloroethane will no longer be made in the United States because of its effects on the ozone layer.
Toxicity. Exposure to large quantities of 1,1,1-trichloroethane for a short time may induce
dizziness, light-headedness, a loss of balance and coordination.
l,l>l-Trichloroethane can react in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) to deplete ozone.
Stratospheric ozone is important because it shields the earth from ultraviolet-B radiation. As the
ozone layer diminishes, the amount of this harmful radiation reaching the earth's surface increases.
Ultraviolet-B radiation has been shown to cause various adverse human health and environmental
effects. (These effects are described in the section on ozone depleting chemicals later in this
chapter.)
Environmental Fate. Releases to land and water will evaporate into the atmosphere. In the
lower atmosphere, 1,1,1 -trichloroethane will not degrade rapidly. Some of the 1,1,1 -trichloroethane
will enter the upper atmosphere, where it contributes to the depletion of stratospheric ozone.
Xylenes
Uses. Xylenes are used in the manufacture of organic chemicals as a raw material and as a
solvent. They are also used as a solvent for paints, coatings, adhesives, and rubbers.
Toxicity. Reactions of xylenes (see environmental fate) in the atmosphere contribute to the
formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere. Ozone can affect the respiratory system, especially in
sensitive individuals such as asthma or allergy sufferers.
Environmental Fate. The majority of releases to land and water will evaporate, although
some degradation by microorganisms will occur.
Xylenes are moderately mobile in soils and may leach into ground water, where they may
persist for several years.
Xylenes are volatile organic chemicals. As such, xylenes in the lower atmosphere will react
with other atmospheric components, contributing to the formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere
and other air pollutants.

Chapter 1 — 1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
Carbon disulfide
Uses. Carbon disulfide is used in the manufacture of rayon, in the manufacture of organic
chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride, as a fumigant, as a corrosion inhibitor, and in metal treating
and plating.
Toxicity. Carbon disulfide can irritate the eyes and the upper respiratory system. Carbon
disulfide may also affect the heart and the central nervous system. Studies indicate that carbon
disulfide can adversely affect the developing fetus.
Environmental Fate. The majority of releases to land and water will evaporate into the
atmosphere. Releases to land may leach into the ground, where the carbon disulfide may be
degraded by microorganisms. In the atmosphere, carbon disulfide will react with oxygen and other
atmospheric chemicals to form atmospheric pollutants.

Chapter 1 —1992 TRI Releases and Transfers
Metals and Metal Compounds
Under EPCRA section 313, facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use metal
compounds report releases and/or transfers of only the metal portion of the metal compound. For
example, a facility that releases a copper compound, such as copper sulfate, would report as a release
only the weight of the copper, not the weight of the entire copper compound. This is done to capture
information on the targeted portion of each member of the category, so that releases and transfers of
metal compounds can be traced through the environment and can be compared from facility to
facility.
Metals (including the metal portion of metal compounds) are different from other TRI
chemicals because they do not degrade and are not destroyed. Other TRI listed chemicals can be
destroyed by sunlight, heat, microorganisms, or other chemicals. Although metals cannot be
destroyed, they may be converted to a less toxic form. For example, many facilities convert
hexavalent chromium (which is a known carcinogen) to the less toxic trivalent form before release or
transfer off-site. Other metal wastes may be treated before disposal so that the metal will be less
likely to be transported through soils. Although such treatment may limit the availability of the
metal to the environment, it does not destroy the metal.
As a result of the inherent persistence of metals, metals can either be recycled or (ultimately)
disposed. This is clearly reflected in the reported releases and off-site transfers of metals. Seventy-
two percent of these toxic metal releases and off-site transfers constituted transfers for recycling.
On-site releases and off-site transfers for disposal accounted for 22% of all releases and transfers.
Facilities also reported transfers off-site for treatment and to POTWs (public sewage
treatment plants). Treatment may remove the metal from a waste stream or convert the metal into a
less toxic form, but it does not destroy the metal. For example, public sewage treatment plants will
remove some fraction of the metals during treatment of the waste stream to remove solid matter.
The removed metals are then generally sent to a landfill for disposal. The metal wastes that are not
removed remain in the treated wastewater and will pass through the treatment plant and into the
aquatic environment.
The potential adverse human health and environmental effects associated with the metals and
metal compounds on TRI are listed in Box 1-1 and are indicated by a V" mark.

Ozone Pepleters
Ozone depleters, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), batons, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl
chloroform), carbon tetrachloride, and bromomethane (methyl bromide), are known to release
chlorine or bromine in the stratosphere (earth's upper atmosphere). Chlorine and bromine act as
catalysts in the conversion of ozone to oxygen, thus reducing the amount of stratospheric ozone.
Stratospheric ozone is important because it shields the earth from ultraviolet-B radiation. As the
ozone layer diminishes, the amount of this harmful radiation reaching the earth's surface increases.
These ozone depleters remain in the stratosphere for many decades; thus, emissions today will
influence ozone levels far into the future.
Ultraviolet-B radiation has been shown to cause various adverse human health and environ-
mental effects as described below.
Health Effects
Skin Cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation has been implicated in two types of non-
melanoma skin cancer: squamous cell cancer and basal cell cancer. In addition, experimental
evidence suggests that ultraviolet-B radiation plays an important role in causing malignant
melanoma skin cancer. Recent studies predict that for each 1 percent change in ultraviolet-B
radiation intensity, the incidence of melanoma could increase from 0.5 to 1 percent.
Other Health Effects. Studies have demonstrated that ultraviolet-B radiation can suppress
the immune response system in animals and possibly in humans.
The incidence of cataracts and adverse effects on the retina are likely to increase with ultra-
violet-B radiation exposure.
Other studies have shown that increased penetration of ultraviolet-B radiation could increase
the rate of tropospheric ozone formation. Data suggest that ozone exposure may lead to chronic
health effects, including morphological changes to, and impaired functioning of, the lungs.
Environmental Effects
Aquatic organisms, particularly phytoplankton, zooplankton, and the larvae of many fishes,
appear to be susceptible to harm from ultraviolet-B radiation because they spend at least part of their
time at or near the surface of the waters they inhabit.
Plants have also been shown to be adversely affected by increased ultraviolet-B radiation.
Possible effects include yield reductions and altering the balance of competition between plants.

Uses
CFCs and halons have various uses. A summary of the major uses follows:
• CFCs are used as refrigerants, with applications in household refrigerators and freezers, cold
storage warehouses, refrigerated transport systems, and air conditioning.
* Some CFCs are used as blowing agents in the manufacture of foam plastics. The CFCs are
used to create bubbles, or cells, in the plastic foam structure.
• 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and CFC-113 are used as industrial solvents in cleaning operations.
The three major cleaning applications are metal cleaning, electronics cleaning, and precision
cleaning.
• Halons, such as halon 1301 and halon 1211, are used in fire extinguishers, including portable
systems used by military and commercial "crash/rescue" teams at airports, and in explosion
protection devices.
• CFC-12 is widely used in combination with ethylene oxide as a sterilant to sterilize medical
equipment and devices, in pharmaceutical production, and in spice fumigation.
» CFC-11 is used to puff leaves of tobacco to increase the volume of the tobacco used in
cigarette production.
• 1,1,1-Trichloroethane is used as a solvent in adhesives, inks, and coatings, such as wood
coatings, metal coatings, and aerospace coatings.
On September 16, 1987, the United States, along with 23 other nations and the European
Economic Community, signed the "Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer."
As a result of this protocol and newer scientific evidence, Congress mandated in the Clean Air Act
Amendments that the production of CFCs and halons be phased out by the year 2000. As a result of
new findings in 1991 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that showed
that ozone depletion in the previous decade was more severe than had previously been predicted, the
production of Class I ozone depleters will be banned as of January 1,1996. See Table 1-34 and
Figures 1-9 and 1-10 for the TRI releases of Class I ozone depleters. Table 1-35 and Figure 1-11
provide TRI transfer data for these ozone depleters.
Interim substitutes, such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), also decrease ozone in the
stratosphere, but have much lower ozone depletion potentials. The HCFCs will serve as first
generation substitutes, but will themselves be phased out. On November 30, 1993, EPA added the
following 11 HCFCs to the TRI list because HCFCs decrease stratospheric ozone resulting in
adverse health and environmental effects. The first TRI reports covering activities during the 1994
reporting year for these chemicals will be submitted by July 1, 1995. (See Chemical List questions
in Appendix A).

Bioaccumulators
Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of a chemical by an organism, in concentrations greater
than are present in the environment. Bioaccumulation of chemicals can have significant adverse
effects on both human health and the environment.
Bioaccumulation includes both uptake from dissolved chemicals in water and from ingestion
by aquatic organisms of food and sediments. Bioaccumulators enter the food chain primarily
through their introduction into water bodies (such as streams, lakes, rivers, etc.), which may be the
result of releases of these chemicals to air and land, as well as discharges to water bodies. Air
emissions may be atmospherically transported and subsequently deposited on the land or bodies of
water (for example, atmospheric transport is believed to be the only source for some toxic chemicals
in the Upper Great Lakes). Releases to land are also important for two reasons. First, there may be
uptake and accumulation of these chemicals in plants which may then be consumed by other
organisms. Second, there may be run-off from the soil which can reach a water body. This is also
important when considering the magnitude of the releases to each media: in 1992, releases to water
of the bioaccumulators listed on TRI were 23,095 pounds; while releases to air and land were
2,314,143 pounds and 649,769 pounds, respectively.
While exposure to certain chemical concentrations may not be toxic for the organism, the
process of bioaccumulation may result in harmful concentrations for consumers of the organism.
For example, in aquatic environments, phytoplankton take up not only nutrients but also toxic
bioaccumulators that may be present in minute quantities. Small fish and zooplankton consume
large quantities of phytoplankton, bioaccumulating the chemicals from the phytoplankton. These
chemicals will continue to biomagnify as organisms consume organisms in the food chain.
Predators at the end of the food chain, such as lake trout, salmon, and water fowl, including herring
gulls, may accumulate levels of toxic chemicals that are hundreds or thousands of times greater than
that present in the phytoplankton. These levels of toxic bioaccumulating chemicals may be high
enough to cause adverse effects such as egg shell thinning and other serious deformities resulting in
reduced survival of off-spring.
Table 1-37 shows the TRI chemicals that have been identified as chemicals which will
bioaccumulate and their releases to air, water, and land. Figure 1-15 shows releases of
bioaccumulators by state.

PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
OF TRI CHEMICALS IN WASTE
INTRODUCTION
The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) requires facilities to report information about
the management of TRI chemicals in wastes and efforts made to eliminate or reduce those
quantities, beginning with the 1991 reporting year. The PPA also established as national policy that
source reduction, the prevention of the generation of wastes, is the most preferable approach to
managing wastes. When it is not feasible to implement source reduction, the PPA established as
national policy a hierarchy of waste management. As elaborated by EPA Administrator Carol
Browner: "Pollution prevention is not the only strategy for reducing risk but is the preferred one.
Environmentally sound recycling shares many of the advantages of prevention — it can reduce the
need for treatment or disposal, and conserve energy and natural resources. Where prevention or
recycling are not feasible, treatment followed by safe disposal as a last resort will play an important
role in achieving environmental goals." The hierarchy for making pollution prevention and waste
management decisions is illustrated in Figure 2-1. Although the PPA did not specifically address
the combustion of waste for energy recovery as a waste management option, EPA made this activity
a specific action in the hierarchy, recognizing that energy recovery has aspects of both recycling and
treatment.
The information required by the PPA can help facilities and the public assess progress in the
prevention and management of TRI chemicals in waste by providing a more comprehensive look at
the management of quantities of TRI chemicals in wastes. These data can be used to analyze trends
in quantities recycled, combusted for energy recovery, treated, and released or disposed of, which
can then indicate whether facilities are reducing wastes or moving up the waste management
hierarchy. Trends in the total quantity of TRI chemicals in wastes can also be assessed. Using the
information reported on efforts to reduce or eliminate the quantities of TRI chemicals in waste, data
users can assess which industries and facilities are implementing source reduction and what types of
source reduction activities they are implementing, and develop indicators of how effective those
activities are in reducing TRI chemicals in waste. Using the information on how the source reduc-
tion activities were implemented, data users can assess how opportunities for source reduction are
identified, which can then aid in determining the more successful routes of delivery for source
reduction information, as well as technology transfer. The data reported for 1991 provide a baseline
for such assessments.

WHAT WASTE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?
This information is collected in Section 8 of the TRI reporting form (see EPA's Form R in
Appendix F) and includes the following quantities:
• quantity released to the environment at the facility and sent off-site for disposal;
• quantity used for energy recovery at the facility;
• quantity sent off-site for energy recovery;
• quantity recycled at the facility;
• quantity sent off-site for recycling;
* quantity treated at the facility; and
» quantity sent off-site for treatment.
These quantities are illustrated in Figure 2-2, and a description of what these quantities
should represent is provided in Box 2-1. The individual quantities are mutually exclusive to avoid
double-counting of TRI chemicals in wastes. This allows the summation of these quantities in order
to calculate the total quantity of TRI chemicals in wastes from routine production operations that a

Chapter 2—Prevention and Management of TRI Chemicals In Waste
What Does This Waste Management Information Represent?
Quantity released (Section 8.1 of Form R). This is the total quantity of the toxic chemical that was
released to the environment or disposed of at the facility (directly discharged to air, land, and water, and
injected underground), or sent off-site for disposal. This quantity is the sum of the amounts reported in
Sections 5 and 6 of Form R (transfers for disposal only) less any amount(s) associated with non-routine
events.
Quantity used for energy recovery on-site (Section 8.2 of Form R). This is the quantity of the toxic
chemical that was combusted in some form of energy recovery device, such as a furnace, including kilns, or a
boiler. The toxic chemical should have a heating value high enough to sustain combustion. To avoid double-
counting, the amount reported represents the amount destroyed in the combustion process, not the amount that
entered the energy recovery unit. For example, 100,000 pounds of toluene entered a boiler that, on average,
combusted 98% of the toluene. Any remaining toluene was discharged to air. A total of 98,000 pounds is
reported as combusted for energy recovery (the remaining 2,000 pounds is reported as released),
Quantity used for energy recovery off-site (Section 8.3 of Form R). This is the quantity of the toxic
chemical that left the facility boundary for energy recovery, not the amount combusted at the off-site
location. The toxic chemical must have a significant heating value, and the off-site location must have
some form of energy recovery unit in place. This quantity includes the amount(s) reported in Section 6 of
Form R as transferred off-site for energy recovery, less any amount(s) associated with non-routine events.
Quantity recycled on-site (Section 8.4 of Form R). This is the quantity of the toxic chemical recovered
at the facility and made available for further use. It is not the quantity that entered an on-site recycling or
recovery operation.
Quantity recycled off-site (Section 8.5 of Form R), This is the quantity of the toxic chemical that left
the facility boundary for recycling, not the amount recovered at the off-site location. This quantity includes
the amount(s) reported in Section 6 of Form R as transferred off-site for recycling, less any amount(s)
associated with non-routine events.
Quantity treated on-site (Section 8.6 of Form R). This is the quantity of the toxic chemical destroyed in
on-site waste treatment operations, not the amount that entered any treatment operation. For example, if
100,000 pounds of benzene were combusted in an incinerator that destroyed 99% of the benzene, the facility
would report 99,000 pounds as treated on-site (the remaining 1,000 pounds would be reported as released).
Quantity treated off-site (Section 8.7 of Form R). This is the quantity of the toxic chemical that left the
facility boundary and was sent to POTWs or other off-site locations for treatment, not the amount that was
destroyed at the off-site location(s). This quantity includes the amount(s) reported in Section 6 of Form R
as transferred to POTWs or other off-site locations for treatment, less any amount(s) associated with non-
routine events.
Quantity released to the environment due to one-time events (Section 8.8 of Form R). This amount is
referred to as non-production related wastes, and is the quantity released to the environment or sent off-site
for recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal due to one-time events not associated with routine
production practices. Such events include catastrophic events, such as accidental releases, as well as
remedial actions (clean up). This quantity is separated from the quantities recycled, used for energy
recovery, treated, and released to allow for distinctions to be made between those quantities that are
routinely associated with production operations and are more amenable to source reduction and those
quantities that are not routinely associated with production processes and are not as amenable to source
reduction because they are not readily anticipated. This separation of quantities is important in assessing
progress in source reduction at facilities.
Box 2-1. What Does This Waste Management Information Represent?
102
-------
Chapter 2 — Prevention and Management of TRI Chemicals in Waste
facility generates and manages during the calendar year. For the reporting year only, facilities are
also required to report the quantity released to the environment at the facility or transferred off-site
due to catastrophic events or remedial (clean-up) actions occurring at the facility. This quantity is
referred to as non-production related waste because it is not associated with routine production
operations at the facility. Such quantities are considered less amenable to source reduction because
such quantities cannot be reasonably anticipated by facilities.
These production-related quantities are reported not only for the reporting year (1992), but
for the year prior to the reporting year (1991) and the two years following the reporting year (1993
and 1994). While the quantities reported for 1991 and 1992 are actual estimates, the quantities
reported for 1993 and 1994 are projections only. The PPA requires these projections to encourage
facilities to consider future waste generation and source reduction of those quantities as well as
movement up the waste management hierarchy. Future year estimates are not commitments that
facilities reporting under TRI are required to meet.
QUANTITIES OF TRI CHEMICALS IN WASTE
For 1992, a total of 37.334 billion pounds of toxic chemicals in production-related wastes
were reported, compared with approximately 37.162 billion pounds reported for 1991. In addition,
almost 34 million pounds of non-production related wastes were reported for 1992, compared to 31
million pounds for 1991. The quantities of TRI chemicals in waste reported for 1991 and 1992 are
•compared in Table 2-1.
These quantities are shown in Figure 2-3 as a percentage of total production-related waste.
Looking at the quantities aggregated by the hierarchy of waste management, approximately 52% of
the toxic chemicals in wastes (19.358 billion pounds) were reported as recycled; 10% (3.569 billion
pounds) were reported as combusted for energy recovery; 29% (11.005 billion pounds) were
reported as treated; and 9% (3.401 billion pounds) were reported as released or disposed of into the
environment. This indicates that 62% of the toxic chemicals in waste were reported as recycled or
used beneficially, while the remaining 38% were reported as either treated or released directly to the
environment.

Chapter 2—Prevention and Management of TR! Chemicals In Waste
Tables 2-2 and 2-3 show the quantities of toxic chemicals in production-related wastes
reported for 1991 through 1994 on the 1992 Form R, aggregated at the national level. All of the
quantities reported for 1991 through 1994 are shown in Table 2-2, including quantities reported on
forms that did not have information for all four years. Table 2-2 indicates an increase in production-
related wastes from 1991 to 1992, with slight increases projected for 1993 and 1994. Table 2-3
shows the quantities for only those forms that provided quantities consistently for all four years,
allowing for a consistent comparison to more accurately see potential trends in the quantities
recycled, combusted for energy recovery, treated, and disposed of. Similar to Table 2-2, an increase
in the quantities of toxic chemicals in wastes between 1991 and 1992, and a slight increase in
projected quantities for 1993 and 1994 is shown in Table 2-3. Some movement up the waste
management hierarchy is also indicated by Table 2-3. This is evident through some actual and
projected decreases in the quantities released, projected decreases in the quantities treated on-site,
and some actual and projected increases in off-site recycling.
While movement up the hierarchy is an improvement in how toxic chemicals in wastes are
managed, there is no decrease in the total amount of wastes that must be managed. This suggests
that, on a national scale and without consideration of increases or decreases in production, current
source reduction efforts are not reducing the absolute quantities of toxic chemicals in wastes.
Further comparison is necessary, however, to determine if increased production is responsible for
the steadily climbing quantities of toxic chemicals in wastes rather than a failure in source reduction
efforts. To assist in such a comparison, facilities are required to provide an indication of changes in
production or activity at the facility. This information can help to assess the effect that production
changes may have had on the amount of toxic chemicals generated in waste.

Looking beyond the national aggregates, the distributions of toxic chemicals in wastes by
state, by industry, and by individual toxic chemical are shown in Tables 2-4 through 2-6.
Tables 2-7 through 2-10 show the top 25 toxic chemicals (by quantity) in each category of
the waste management hierarchy: recycle; energy recovery; treatment; and release (including off-
site disposal). Sulfuric acid was reported as recycled in the greatest quantity, both on-site and
off-site. The amounts of sulfuric acid recycled on-site and off-site make up 36% and 38%,
respectively, of the total amounts of all TRI chemicals recycled on-site and off-site. Propylene was
reported as combusted for the purposes of energy recovery in the greatest quantity, both on-site and
off-site. Sulfuric acid was reported as treated on-site in the greatest quantity, while methanol was
reported as treated off-site in the greatest quantity. The top 25 chemicals released (including off-site
disposal) are listed in Table 2-10. Comparing this group of chemicals to the top 50 chemicals
released on-site (presented in Table 1-22 in Chapter 1) shows that these 25 are in the top 35 released
on-site. The rankings of the chemicals in each of the tables are sometimes different due to the
inclusion of off-site disposal in the quantities released as reported in Section 8 of Form R and
presented in this chapter.

Chapter 2—Prevention and Management of TRI Chemicals in Waste
RELATIONSHIP OF THIS WASTE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
TO THE RELEASE AND TRANSFER DATA
While it may appear that different information is reported in several sections of the TRI
reporting form, much of the information collected on waste management is an aggregation of
information that is collected on releases to the environment and transfers off-site. It may be helpful
to look at the TRI reporting form (Form R) in Appendix F to better understand how the release and
transfer data relate to the waste management information. Releases of toxic chemicals to the
environment on-site are reported in Section 5 of the form. Off-site transfers of toxic chemicals are
reported in Section 6, and on- and off-site management of toxic chemicals in wastes is reported in
Section 8.
Facilities estimate total releases of the toxic chemical to air, land, and water in Section 5 of
Form R. The estimates include releases that are routine to production operations as well as those
that are non-routine, such as releases due to catastrophic events like the collapse of a tank due to a
tornado or remedial actions like the clean-up of contaminated soil. In Section 6, facilities estimate
the total amounts of the toxic chemical transferred to POTWs or to other off-site locations for the
purposes of recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal. Again, the estimates would include
quantities from routine production operations as well as non-routine events. The information
reported in Sections 5 and 6 forms the basis for much of the information in Section 8, but is aggre-
gated in different ways.
Quantities of the toxic chemical released to the environment or transferred off-site in waste
for management "as a result of remedial actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not asso-
ciated with production processes" are aggregated and reported in Section 8 (8.8). If a facility reports
a quantity in this section, then the release and transfer data in Sections 5 and 6 will not directly
match the release and transfer data in Section 8. However, if a facility does not report a quantity in
this section, the release and transfer data in Sections 5 and 6 should match the release and transfer
data in Section 8.
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE WASTE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
REPORTED FOR 1992
Examination of the data reported for 1992 indicates that many facilities are reporting incon-
sistent data in the separate sections of Form R. To help address the continuing need for guidance
from EPA for reporting these data, and to resolve many outstanding issues, EPA initiated a public
dialogue process in early 1993. In this process, members of environmental groups, industry, states,
and academia were brought together to discuss the issues associated with reporting the information
required by the PPA and to provide EPA with advice and recommendations for resolving them.
EPA provided some guidance for reducing discrepancies in data reported in separate sections of
Form R during the 1993 reporting year and anticipates promulgation of final guidance for the data
required by the PPA by early 1995.

Correlating Information in Different Sections of Form R
Through comparisons of the information presented in this chapter and the information
provided in Chapter 1, it is evident that similar information reported in different sections of Form R
is not always consistent. In some cases, information on quantities of the toxic chemicals transferred
off-site (reported in Section 6) does not match with the information on waste management (reported
in Section 8). Some facilities have reported quantities as sent off-site, but did not provide a code
indicating the waste management activity to which the quantity was subject (recycle, energy
recovery, treatment, or disposal). Some facilities reported quantities sent off-site, but provided codes
that are not in the instructions for completing Form R; those codes cannot be assigned to any
particular off-site activity and, along with the quantities that have no codes, are considered as "other"
off-site activities.
Even with the use of valid codes, however, some discrepancies still exist. These are shown
in Table 2-11. EPA believes that these discrepancies are primarily a problem in relating the data
reported in different sections of Form R and that this problem will be reduced over time.
Comparing 1991 and 1992 data, facilities appear to be improving the quality of the data reported as
the gap between the quantities reported in different sections of Form R is narrowing. It must be
realized, however, that quantities reported in Section 8 and those reported in Sections 5 and 6 cannot
always correlate if non-production related wastes are reported in Section 8. When reported, non-
production related wastes quantities are included in the amounts reported in Sections 5 and 6, but as
discussed previously, those quantities are reported separately in Section 8.
Understanding What Specific Elements Mean
Quantities recycled. The largest discrepancy in the information provided in Form R is the
difference between what is reported as recycled off-site in Section 8 and what is reported as sent
off-site for recycling in Section 6. This discrepancy, about 634 million pounds, may be due to
factors beyond just relating the data reported in different sections of Form R. Facilities may have
interpreted what was to be reported as recycled off-site in Section 8 differently from what was to be
reported as sent off-site as a transfer in wastes (Section 6). When reporting off-site transfers for the
purposes of recycling, some facilities believe that what is to be reported in Section 8 is inherently
different from what is to be reported in Section 6. They view off-site recycling reported in Section
6 as the recycling of the toxic chemical in wastes, while off-site recycling reported in Section 8 is
viewed more broadly so as to include recycling of toxic chemicals in materials that are not con-
sidered wastes by the facility. For example, a facility ships silver residuals off-site to a jewelry
manufacturer and reports the transfer in Section 8 but not in Section 6. The facility considers the
silver recycled off-site, but does not consider the silver to be "in wastes." EPA is considering these
issues as it develops final guidance for reporting quantities recycled both on- and off-site.
Quantities reported as recycled on-site may be greater than the actual amount of the toxic
chemical used at the facility, depending on how the facility reported. For example, a facility used a
total of 15,000 pounds of 1,1,1-trichloroethane for cleaning and other purposes during the reporting
year. The toxic chemical was recycled in batches for a total of 15 batches, resulting in the recovery
of 225,000 pounds of 1,1,1-trichloroethane during that year. This quantity is much greater than the
129
-------
Chapter 2—Prevention and Management of TRI Chemicals in Waste
amount of the toxic chemical that was used at the facility, but reflects the amounts of 1,1,1-tri-
chloroethane in wastes managed at the facility during the reporting year. However, not all facilities
have reported in this manner.
Quantities combusted for energy recovery. Facilities are instructed not to report metals or
metal compounds, as well as other chemicals that have no significant fuel value, as combusted for
energy recovery. Some facilities do not follow these instructions, as is evident in Table 2-6. In the
case of metal compounds, the parent metals do not contribute heating value to the combusted wastes
and are either ultimately discharged to air or remain in the ash, which is usually disposed of.
Quantities treated on-site. While facilities were instructed to include only those quantities
destroyed through treatment in this data element, some facilities have misinterpreted how to report
these quantities. This is evident through examination of Table 2-9, the top 25 chemicals reported as
treated, which reveals that two of the top chemicals reported as treated are metal compounds (copper
compounds and chromium compounds). The parent metals in any of the compounds may be
removed from wastes, but are not destroyed through on-site treatment and so these metal compounds
should not be reported as treated on-site. Such misinterpretations can cause facilities to inflate the
amount of TRI chemical in waste or to incorrectly characterize the ultimate disposition of the
chemical in waste. For example, the parent metals in metal compounds are ultimately released or
disposed of and that final disposition should be reported.
Quantities treated off-site. In reporting transfers off-site, facilities are instructed to provide
the ultimate known disposition of the toxic chemical. For example, in a situation where a metal is
sent off-site and stabilized prior to disposal in a landfill, the quantity of the metal sent off-site should
be reported as disposed of, not treated, off-site in both Sections 6 and 8 of Form R. There may be
situations, however, where the facility does not know whether the TRI chemical is destroyed
through treatment or what the final disposition of the chemical is. Therefore, quantities reported as
treated off-site can sometimes represent amounts that are ultimately released or disposed of. This is
the case whenever metal compounds are reported as treated off-site because the parent metals will
not be destroyed and will ultimately be released or disposed of.

Similar occurrences can be found with transfers to POTWs. Facilities are instructed to
consider all quantities transferred to POTWs as transferred off-site for treatment for the purpose of
reporting in Section 8 of Form R. However, POTWs can have varying levels of treatment capabili-
ties, which means that a TRI chemical sent to a POTW may or may not have been destroyed. Metal
compounds and certain organic chemicals can be passed through a POTW, meaning that they were
discharged directly from the POTW, or contained in the sludges from the POTW, which are
ultimately disposed of on land. When such reporting occurs, quantities reported as treated off-site
represent amounts that are ultimately released or disposed of.
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO REDUCE THESE WASTES?
Facilities are required to provide information on any source reduction activity implemented
during the reporting (calendar) year. (Source reduction is defined in Box 2-2.) Source reduction
activities are those that reduced or prevented the need for a quantity of the reported toxic chemical
to be recycled, used for energy recovery, treated, or released (including disposal). Of the 23,630
facilities that submitted Form Rs for 1992, 8,492 (36%) indicated that they implemented source
reduction for at least one chemical. Of the 81,016 Form Rs submitted, 20,508 (25%) indicated that
source reduction had been implemented. Comparing this to data submitted for the 1991 reporting
year, slightly more Form Rs and facilities (26% of the total forms submitted and 37% of the facili-
ties reporting for 1991) had indicated that source reduction was implemented during 199L Of the
Form Rs that could be matched across 1991 and 1992, just over 13,000 reported the implementation
of source reduction in both 1991 and 1992.
The categories or types of source reduction activities that can be reported, as well as the
more specific activities reported under each category, are shown in Box 2-3. The most frequently
reported categories of source reduction activities were good operating practices, process modifi-
cations, and spill and leak prevention activities. These categories were also most frequently reported
for 1991.
What Is Source Reduction?
Through pollution prevention, risks to people and the environment can be reduced, financial and
natural resources can be saved that would otherwise have to be expended on environmental clean-up or
pollution control, and industrial processes can become more efficient. Pollution prevention is source
reduction, which is defined in the PPA as any practice that:
• reduces the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering any waste
stream or otherwise released into the environment (including fugitive emissions); and
• reduces the hazards to public health and the environment associated with the release of such
substances, pollutants, or contaminants.
Pollution prevention practices can include equipment, process, procedure, or technology modifi-
cations, reformulation or redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and improvements in
maintenance and inventory controls. Under this definition, waste management activities, including
recycling, treatment, and disposal, are not considered forms of pollution prevention.
Box 2-2. What Is Source Reduction?

•raws
Chapters—Prevention and Management of TRI Chemicals In Waste
A reported source reduction activity could have been implemented at any time during the
reporting year. This is important to consider when analyzing the source reduction activities reported
and the impact that those activities might have had on the total quantity of wastes that had to be
managed. The implementation of a source reduction activity late in the reporting year would have
had a smaller impact on the amount of wastes that were managed than the implementation of the
same activity earlier in the reporting year.
Facilities are also required to report the method(s) used to identify the reported source
reduction activity. The methods are:
* Internal pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
« External pollution prevention opportunity audit(s)
* Materials balance audits
• Participative team management
» Employee recommendation (independent of a formal company program)
* Employee recommendation (under a formal company program)
* State government technical assistance program
• Federal government technical assistance program
* Trade association/industry technical assistance program
• Vendor assistance
» Other
The most frequently reported methods of identifying opportunities for source reduction
measures were participative team management and internal pollution prevention opportunity audits.
The frequency for these methods and the association between reported source reduction activities
and the methods used to identify the opportunities for them are shown in Table 2-12,
The states of California, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, and Pennsylvania had the greatest
number of forms reporting source reduction activities. Good operating practices and process modi-
fications were reported most frequently as the types of source reduction activities implemented (see
Table 2-13). Consistent with the national picture, the most frequent methods of identifying oppor-
tunities for source reduction for facilities in these states were participative team management and
internal pollution prevention opportunity audits (see Table 2-14).
Among industries, the greatest number of forms submitted indicating source reduction were
from the chemical industry and the fabricated metals sector. However, the furniture, measurements/
photographic equipment, and printing sectors had the greatest percentage of forms indicating source
reduction. The measurements/photographic equipment and printing sectors also had the greatest
percentage of facilities reporting source reduction activities (see Table 2-15).
The top 50 chemicals for which source reduction was reported are listed in Tables 2-17 and
2-18. The chemical for which source reduction was reported most frequently was 1,1,1-trichloro-
ethane. The activities most frequently reported to reduce the amount of 1,1,1-trichloroethane enter-
ing wastes included cleaning and degreasing, good operating practices, and process modifications.
The most frequent methods of identifying opportunities for source reduction for 1,1,1-trichloro-
ethane were participative team management and internal pollution prevention opportunity audits.

ChapterZ—Prevention and Management ofTRI Chemicals In Waste
ASSESSMENT OF PROGRESS IN SOURCE REDUCTION
The reporting of source reduction activities and the methods used to identify those activities
yield an indication of what is being done to prevent the generation of pollution at the source.
Quantifying progress in reducing wastes is a complex question that cannot be answered by simply
comparing quantities over time. Many factors affect the quantity of toxic chemicals in wastes. One
such factor is changes in production or activity at a facility. For this reason, the PPA requires
facilities to provide on Form R a production ratio or activity index as an indicator of whether
production or activity involving the reported toxic chemical has increased, decreased, or remained
steady since the previous year. For the 1992 reporting year, the ratio is calculated by dividing the
production or activity involving the reported toxic chemical in 1992 by the production or activity
involving the reported toxic chemical in 1991. A ratio that is less than 1.0 indicates that production
or activity is down in 1992 as compared to 1991. A ratio of 1.0 indicates that production or activity
has remained steady. A ratio greater than 1.0 indicates that production or activity has increased.
Table 2-19 shows the distribution of the ratios reported for 1992 and the total production-related
wastes associated with the ratios.
Calculating an Indicator of Changes
in Quantities of Toxic Chemicals in Wastes
Because of the complexity of quantifying progress in reducing toxic chemicals in wastes at
the source, there is no one method for measuring progress. Comparing changes in quantities of toxic
chemicals in wastes when source reduction has been implemented is one method, but this does not
take production into account. There is also a method for using the information reported under TRI
to assess changes in the quantities of toxic chemicals in wastes relative to changes in production or
activity at a facility. This method has an implicit assumption that there is a direct relationship
between the level of production or activity at a facility and the amount of toxic chemicals in wastes,
including releases, generated by that production or activity. Thus, if production increases, wastes
are assumed to increase by a direct proportion. Similarly, if production decreases, wastes are
assumed to decrease proportionally. This assumption may hold for some, but not all, processes or
facilities. There may be many instances where processes do not have a directly proportional
relationship between the level of activity and wastes generated.
A thorough and accurate assessment of source reduction progress requires more detailed
information than is included in Form R. Nonetheless, the data collected under TRI can be used to
provide an indication of whether toxic chemicals in wastes are increasing or decreasing. To perform
the following analysis, those forms that have complete data for both 1991 and 1992 must be selected.
Data for those years must be comparable, meaning that a facility has to have reported quantities for
the same activity, for example, on-site recycling, for both years. The calculations shown in Box 2-4
illustrate how the information reported on Form R can be used to assess changes in the quantities of
toxic chemicals in wastes relative to changes in production or activity.
Because production may not be directly and linearly related to the quantity of chemical in
waste, analysis of progress should also include simple comparison of reporting year and prior year
data, A decrease could be an indication of progress while an increase could indicate that progress is

not happening. In some instances, however, source reduction could be implemented at a facility, but
quantities reported for one chemical could increase if that chemical is substituted for another
chemical as a source reduction measure for the latter chemical.
Changes in Quantities of Toxic Chemicals in Wastes at the National Level
EPA performed an analysis of the data received for 1992 using the technique discussed in
Box 2-4. Of the 81,016 Form Rs submitted for 1992,57,041 forms had sufficient information for
both 1991 and 1992 to perform an analysis of the changes of the quantity of toxic chemicals in
wastes for those two years. Of those 57,041 forms, 14,409 (approximately 25%, or 18% of the total
81,016 forms submitted) indicated the implementation of a source reduction activity. For this subset
of forms that reported source reduction and provided sufficient information for both 1991 and 1992,
the quantity of toxic chemicals in wastes reported decreased by only 0.2% between 1991 and 1992
in absolute terms (see Table 2-20). Adjusting for production changes indicates a significantly
greater decrease of 9.1%. Movement up the waste management hierarchy is indicated on these
forms as well. This is evident as the quantities sent off-site for recycling and used for energy
recovery on-site increased while the quantity released and the quantities treated (both on- and
off-site) decreased.
As shown in Table 2-21, forms from facilities that did not indicate the implementation of
source reduction showed a small increase (4.6%) in the total quantity of toxic chemicals entering
Calculating Changes in Quantities of
TRl Chemicals in Waste Relative to Production
1) Sum Sections 8.1 through 8.7 for the prior year (1991)
2) Sum Sections 8.1 through 8.7 for the reporting year (1992)
3) Multiply the sum for the prior year as calculated in step 1 by the production ratio or
activity index (which is reported in Section 8.9 of Form R), This yields a quantity that
would have been generated in the reporting year (call it the expected quantity).
4) Take the sum for the current year as calculated in step 2 and subtract from it the result
of step 3 (the expected quantity).
If the result of step 4 is a negative number, this suggests that the total quantity of the toxic
chemical in wastes for the reporting year (1992) was less than that expected, given the reported
level of production or activity. This could be an indication that reduction of the toxic chemical in
wastes is occurring. If the result of step 4 is a positive number, this means that the amount of
toxic chemical in wastes for the reporting year (1992) was greater than that expected, given the
reported level of production or activity. This could be an indication that reduction of the toxic
chemical in wastes is not occurring.

wastes in absolute terms. With an adjustment for production, this increase becomes a slight decrease
of almost 1%, There is little movement up the waste management hierarchy indicated by this subset
of forms.
EPA has further analyzed this subset of the 1992 data and has found that not all facilities
reporting a source reduction activity have indicated a decrease in the total quantity of toxic
chemicals in wastes. Similar to what was revealed with analysis of the 1991 data, some facilities
that have reported the implementation of a source reduction activity have also indicated an increase
in the total quantity of toxic chemicals in wastes. In addition, many facilities that did not indicate
the implementation of a source reduction activity on Form R have indicated decreases in the total
quantity of toxic chemicals in wastes.
EPA has also performed some preliminary comparisons of source reduction reporting for
both 1991 and 1992. After matching a total of 70,814 forms across 1991 and 1992, 13,282 forms
indicated the implementation of source reduction in both years. A total of 5,319 matched forms
indicated the implementation of source reduction only in 1992. These two subsets of forms indi-
cated a decrease in the total quantity of toxic chemicals in waste from 1991 to 1992. A total of
4,624 matched forms indicated the implementation of source reduction only in 1991. The remaining
47,589 matched forms did not indicate the implementation of source reduction in either year. For
both those subsets of forms, the total quantity of toxic chemicals in waste increased from 1991 to
1992.

YEAR-TO-YEAR COMPARISON
OF TRI DATA
INTRODUCTION
Baseline Year
1992 marks the sixth reporting year for the TRI program. This section of the report sum-
marizes the TRI data for 1988, and 1990 through 1992 to allow comparisons across years to help
identify changes and trends. EPA has decided to present only four years of data for trend analysis as
a practical matter, using a baseline year of 1988 and the latest three years: 1990,1991, and 1992.
Therefore, with few exceptions, TRI data for 1989 will not be presented. Although 1987 was the
first year for TRI reporting, 1988 has been chosen as the baseline year because of concerns about the
data quality of industry's submissions in the first year.
Chemical List Changes
Certain TRI reporting requirements have changed since the inception of the program. EPA
has the authority to add chemicals to the reporting list if they meet the statutory criteria for toxicity,
and to delete chemicals from the list if they are determined not to meet the toxicity criteria. Since
1987, in response to petitions, EPA has removed from the list eight individually listed chemicals,
three members of the copper compounds category that did not meet the toxicity criteria, and
di-n-octyl phthalate which was delisted October 5, 1993. Although facilities had submitted their
1992 reports for di-n-octyl phthalate before its delisting, data for this chemical are excluded from
information presented in this chapter, as are data for other delisted chemicals. Also in response to a
petition, EPA deleted non-fibrous aluminum oxide, but retained fibrous forms of aluminum oxide on
the list. EPA added 16 chemicals to the list, nine of which were reportable beginning with the 1990
reporting year, and seven of which were reportable beginning with the 1991 reporting year.
Recently added were 32 chemicals and two chemical categories which will first be reportable for the
1994 reporting year. More complete information about chemical list changes is included in
Appendix A: Questions and Answers,
In order to control for changes to the chemical list over time, year-to-year comparisons
presented in this chapter are based on a consistent list of chemicals that have been reportable for all
years being compared. This use of a consistent set of chemicals ensures that any year-to-year
changes in release or transfer totals seen here cannot be attributed to changes in the list of reportable
chemicals. Because of this normalization process, release and transfer totals presented in the
1988-1992 comparison section differ slightly from totals seen in the 1991-1992 comparison section
155
-------
Chapter 3 — year-to-year Comparison of TRI Data
and from the totals presented in Chapter 1 of this report. The 1988 through 1992 comparison does
not include aluminum oxide, any delisted chemicals, or chemicals added for 1990 and 1991
reporting years. The 1991-1992 comparison data do not include any delisted chemicals. There were
no changes in the chemical list between 1991 and 1992.
Threshold Changes
Facilities are only required to report for a particular chemical if they meet the manufacturing,
processing or otherwise use thresholds for that chemical. The otherwise use threshold has remained
10,000 pounds since the inception of the program. However, the manufacturing and process thresh-
olds dropped from 75,000 pounds for 1987, to 50,000 pounds for 1988, and again to 25,000 pounds
for 1989 and later. Declining thresholds until 1989 probably increased the number of facilities
required to report to TRI each year, as well as the number of forms filed. However, thresholds did
not change for the 1990 through 1992 reporting years, so threshold changes should not be a factor in
comparing 1992 data to 1991,1990, or 1989 data. Threshold changes may be a factor to consider
when comparing 1992 data to 1988 data.
1991 TO 1992 DATA COMPARISONS
This section compares summary release and transfer data for the 1991 and 1992 reporting
years (see Table 3-1) in order to highlight and help explain some of the reported changes. Because
only two years of data are examined here, any identified changes should not be considered to be
indicative of trends.
Tables and text in this section include only those chemicals listed for both reporting years
1991 and 1992. The nine chemicals added to the list for reporting year 1990 are included here, as is
aluminum oxide (fibrous forms). The seven CFCs and halons added to the list for reporting year
1991 are also included here. All delisted chemicals (including di-n-octyl phthalate) are excluded
from this analysis. This section includes releases to all media, as well as off-site transfers to POTWs
and to other off-site locations for treatment, disposal, energy recovery and recycling. Off-site
transfers reported without waste management codes or with invalid codes are included in a category
called "other off-site transfers."
Total TRI reported releases declined 6.6% from 1991 to 1992, from 3.41 billion pounds to
3.18 billion pounds. This includes on-site stack air releases, fugitive air releases, releases to surface
waters, amounts injected underground, and disposal to land on-site (landfill, surface impoundments,
land treatment and other land disposal). Total reported transfers increased about 17% from 3.74
billion pounds in 1991 to 4.37 billion pounds in 1992. This includes transfers off-site for recycling,
to energy recovery, to treatment, to POTWs, and to disposal and other off-site transfers.

Chapter 3 — year-to-year Comparison of TRI Data
1991 to 1992 Releases by Media
Air Releases
Air releases declined 9.4% or a net decrease of 192 million pounds, from 2.04 billion pounds
in 1991 to 1.84 billion pounds in 1992. About 111.5 million pounds (58%) of this decline was
attributable to decreased emissions of a variety of solvents, including 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone,
toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, Freon 113, methanol, and xylene. Many of the solvents have been
targeted by EPA, states, and industry for pollution prevention efforts, including EPA's 33/50
program of voluntary industrial toxics reduction. Ammonia alone accounted for more than
27 million pounds (14%) of the decrease, primarily due to large reductions from several facilities.
Chlorine releases declined by more than 6 million pounds; most of this decrease appears to be due to
reductions in chlorine emissions from Magnesium Corporation of America in Rowley, Utah (see
1992 Top Decreasers in Air/Water/Land Releases). Emissions of Freon 113, one of the ozone-
depleting chemicals whose production is being phased out under Clean Air Act requirements,
declined by more than 11 million pounds.
Chemicals with net increases in air releases included carbon disulfide (up 3.4 million
pounds), styrene (up 3.2 million pounds) and copper compounds (up 2 million pounds).

Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
Releases to Surface Waters
Surface water discharges increased 12.2%, from 243 million pounds in 1991 to nearly
273 million pounds in 1992, a net increase of nearly 30 million pounds. Phosphoric acid releases
alone increased by 44.3 million pounds, due to releases from four facilities that manufacture phos-
phate fertilizers. This is an example of how large releases from a few facilities can have a dispro-
portionate effect on total water releases. After factoring out the phosphoric acid water releases from
these four facilities from the national totals, other water releases actually decreased by 11.5% or
almost 15 million pounds. For more discussion about these facilities, see 1992 Top Increasers in
Air/Water/Land Releases.
Sulfuric acid releases to surface waters decreased by 4.3 million pounds. Two of the four
fertilizer facilities mentioned above reduced their sulfuric acid releases by 11.7 million pounds,
while two others increased their sulfuric acid releases by 7.9 million pounds. Methanol,
ammonium sulfate (solution), ammonium nitrate (solution), and ethylene glycol water releases
together decreased by 8.8 million pounds.
Releases to Land
Releases to land decreased by 18.6% or by 77 million pounds, from 415 million pounds in
1991 to 338 million pounds in 1992. About 57% of this reported reduction appears to be due to
reduced releases of zinc compounds (net decrease of 32 million pounds) and hydrochloric acid (net
decrease of 11.7 million pounds). About 26.5 million pounds of the zinc compounds decrease is
attributed to three metal smelters and a steel mill. Nearly all of the hydrochloric acid decrease of
11.7 million pounds is due to the closure of two Climax Chemical Co. metal mining facilities.
Large decreases to land from specific facilities are discussed in another section of this chapter (see
1992 Top Decreasers in Air/Water/Land Releases).
Large reductions in releases to land of copper compounds (7.3 million pounds), manganese
compounds (6.8 million pounds), sulfuric acid (6 million pounds), and ammonium nitrate (solution)
(5.8 million pounds) also contributed to the overall decrease in land releases. Two metal smelters
had a combined reduction of 8.2 million pounds of copper compounds. The sulfuric acid decrease is
attributable to a 6 million pound spill that occurred in 1991 from an acid plant at a copper smelter
facility. Land releases of zinc (fume or dust) increased by 3.8 million pounds.
Underground Injection
Underground injection of waste increased by 2.2% or by 15.6 million pounds, from 710 mil-
lion pounds in 1991 to 726 million pounds in 1992. Underground injection of hydrochloric acid
releases increased by 17.4 million pounds (four facilities had large increases totalling 22 million
pounds), ammonia releases increased by 11.1 million pounds, and ammonium nitrate (solution)
releases increased by 4.8 million pounds. The chemical with the largest decrease was acrylic acid,
with nearly all of the 14.4 million pound decrease attributable to two facilities. Reasons for large
changes in underground injection from specific facilities are discussed in a separate section in this
chapter.

Chapter 3 — year-to-year Comparison of TRI Data
1991 to 1992 Transfers by Transfer Type
Transfers to Recycling
Transfers to recycling increased by 25.3% from 2.27 billion pounds in 1991 to 2.84 billion
pounds in 1992. The large increase may be partially due to reporting by facilities who did not
understand the reporting requirements for 1991 and may have not have reported recycling for 1991,
the first year such reporting was required. The net increase of 573 million pounds is largely
attributable to increases of 202 million pounds of sulfuric acid and 190 million pounds of lead
compounds transferred off-site for recycling. Increases of 250 million pounds of sulfuric acid
transfers to recycling were reported by two facilities that did not report these types of transfers for
sulfuric acid in 1991. About 121 million pounds of the increase in lead compounds transferred is
attributable to one secondary lead smelter. Another 73 million pounds of the lead compounds
increase was from five other facilities. Three of these had not reported any transfers of lead com-
pounds off-site in 1991. Transfers of copper and zinc compounds to recycling also increased by
about 46 million pounds each.
Some of the larger decreases in transfers of chemicals for recycling were 7.4 million pounds
less of lead, 6.4 million pounds less of manganese, and 6.4 million pounds less of zinc (fume or
dust). Increases of 11.3 million pounds of lead transfers to recycling were attributable to three
facilities. Seven other chemicals, mostly solvents, had total decreases of transfers to recycling
totalling about 18 million pounds.
Transfers to Energy Recovery
Transfers to energy recovery increased by 7.7%, from 443 million pounds to 478 million
pounds. This increase of 34.3 million pounds is partially due to a 14 million pound increase of
ethylene, mostly from two facilities. Methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and ethylene glycol transfers to
energy recovery increased by a total of almost 12 million pounds.
Xylene (mixed isomers) decreased by 2.2 million pounds. Methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene,
benzene, and phthalic anhydride each decreased by more than 1 million pounds, for a total of
5.6 million pounds.
Transfers to Treatment
Transfers to treatment increased by 11.4% from 353 million pounds in 1991 to 393 million
pounds in 1992. This net increase of 40.3 million pounds is largely due to increases in transfers of
zinc compounds, antimony compounds, and lead compounds totalling 66.7 million pounds.
Increases of 64 million pounds of transfers of these three compounds for solidification/stabilization
came from one lead smelter facility. There were also increases of hydrochloric acid, acetone, and
arsenic compounds totalling another 16.4 million pounds.
Xylene (mixed isomers) transfers to treatment decreased by 12.7 million pounds, and
transfers of methyl ethyl ketone, 1,2-dichloroethane, nitric acid, and ammonium sulfate (solution)
decreased by a total of 14.1 million pounds.
159
-------
Chapter 3 — Year-to-year Comparison of TRI Data
Transfers to POTWs
Transfers to POTWs decreased 3.7% or by 14.5 million pounds, from 396 million pounds in
1991 to 381 million pounds in 1992. Transfers of ammonium sulfate (solution) to POTWs decreased
by 10 million pounds; acetone by about 5 million pounds; nitric acid by 4.8 million pounds;
ammonia by 3.4 million pounds; manganese compounds by 2.3 million pounds; and barium com-
pounds by 1.5 million pounds. At least five facilities with large transfers of ammonium sulfate in
1991 did not report these transfers in 1992, accounting for 8.6 million pounds of the net decrease of
ammonium sulfate to POTWs.
Transfers to POTWs of hydrochloric acid increased by 12.8 million pounds, with nearly all
of this due to an increase from one facility. Sulfuric acid transfers to POTWs increased by 2.6 mil-
lion pounds.
Transfers to Disposal
Transfers for disposal decreased 3.3% from 268 million pounds in 1991 to 259 million
pounds in 1992. A large portion of the net decrease of 8.9 million pounds is due to a 7.8 million
pound decrease in transfers of manganese compounds to disposal. Reductions of nearly 7.8 million
pounds of transfers of manganese compounds to off-site landfills were attributable to two facilities.
Decreases of lead, aluminum (fume or dust) and manganese accounted for another 7.3 million
pounds.
Ammonium sulfate (solution) increased by 7 million pounds and much of this increase came
from one facility (6.5 million pounds). Sulfuric acid, nickel compounds, lead compounds, and
asbestos (friable) each increased by more than 1 million pounds, for a net decrease of 9.7 million
pounds.
Other Transfers
This category includes transfers that are reported with missing or invalid waste management
codes. These transfers increased by 6.6 million pounds from 1991 to 1992.
Changes in Releases and Transfers by State
For each state, Figure 3-1 illustrates whether TRI releases increased or decreased from 1991
to 1992. Figure 3-2 shows the relative change in each state's TRI transfers for 1991-1992. The data
used to develop these figures exclude delisted chemicals but include aluminum oxide (fibrous forms)
and chemicals added for the 1990 and 1991 reporting years. For more detailed information about
each state's 1992 releases and transfers see Chapter 1 and the 1992 TRI State Fact Sheets document.
Changes in Air Emissions of 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
As an example to illustrate how net changes in the TRI data are the result of several off-
setting factors, EPA did some detailed analysis of the change in 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) air
emissions from 1991 to 1992. TCA is the chemical with the second largest decrease in air emissions
160

_
Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
from 1991 to 1992, dropping from almost 141 million pounds in 1991 to almost 115 million pounds
in 1992. This net decrease of 26 million pounds (-18.4%) can be attributed to reductions and
increases from facilities that reported for TCA in 1991 and 1992, reductions due to facilities who
reported in 1991 but not in 1992, and increases due to facilities who reported in 1992 but not in
1991. A breakdown of these increases and decreases in TCA air emissions is shown below:

The number of facilities reporting TCA dropped 14.4% from 1991 to 1992, from 3,656 to
3,131 (difference of 525). This net difference represents 833 facilities that reported for TCA in
1991, but not in 1992, minus 308 facilities that reported in 1992, but not in 1991. Facilities no
longer reporting TCA in 1992 either no longer use the chemical, do not use enough TCA to exceed
the reporting threshold, or are no longer in business. The decrease in TCA air emissions from those
facilities who did not submit TCA forms in 1992 represents about 33% of the 46 million pounds of
decreases in TCA air emissions.
For those facilities who reported TCA air emissions for both 1991 and 1992, the air emis-
sions per facility per year are compared in Figure 3-3. Points on the graph to the right of the
diagonal line represent facilities whose 1992 air emissions of TCA were less than their 1991 emis-
sions. Points to the left of the diagonal represent facilities whose 1992 air emissions of TCA were
more than their 1991 emissions. The further away a point appears from the diagonal, the greater the
facility's increase or decrease from 1991 to 1992. Reduction from these facilities represents about
67% of the 46 million pounds of decreases in TCA air emissions. This graph does not include 89
facilities who reported zero TCA emissions either in 1991 or 1992 or in both years, in order to avoid
plotting data points directly on either axis of the graph. The net reduction from these 89 facilities
accounts for only about 1% of the total net reduction of 26 million pounds. There were 210 facili-
ties in Figure 3-3 whose TCA air emissions did not change from 1991 to 1992. These emissions
totalled about 1.2 million pounds for each year.
By comparing each facility's 1991 TCA air emissions to their 1992 TCA air emissions, one
can get a better overall picture of facilities' progress in reducing TCA air emissions. For example,
using Figure 3-3, one can determine if the total reduction is largely due to a few facilities with large
reductions or whether many facilities are achieving reductions. For TCA, it appears that the latter is
true. For the 1,940 facilities that had between 10,000 and 1 million pounds of TCA air emissions in
1991, 1,222 of these facilities show reductions totalling 28.5 million pounds. These reductions

represent 63% of the total TCA decreases in air emissions. Figure 3-3 also shows the magnitude of
each facility's reduction or increase. Some facilities do appear to show large increases, but most of
these had TCA air emissions of less than 10,000 pounds in 1991.
1991 to 1992 Comparison of Number of Forms Submitted
This analysis includes chemicals that were added for first time reporting in 1990 and 1991,
but excludes all delisted chemicals. From 1991 to 1992, the total number of forms filed dropped by
2,799. There was also a noticeable drop in the number of forms submitted per individual chemical.
For example, of the 294 chemicals reported having at least one form per chemical submitted in any
year 1988 through 1992, 176 (60%) showed some decrease in the number of reports from 1991 to
1992. However, some chemicals had a more significant decline than others in the number of reports
submitted from 1991 to 1992.
Some of the decreases may be due to less usage of the chemical, so that a report is no longer
required because thresholds are not exceeded. Less usage could be due to either changes in produc-
tion, or to increased source reduction or recycling of the chemical. It is also possible that the
chemical use may have been phased out. Many facilities are reducing the use of solvents to meet
Clean Air Act requirements or pollution reduction goals, triggered either by industry or by state or
federal agencies. Some of the other reasons listed below for changes in number of facilities can also
explain why a single chemical report was submitted in one year, but not another.
Some chemicals with large decreases from 1991 to 1992 in the number of reports submitted
are: 1,1,1-trichloroethane (-525 reports), Freon 113 (-226 reports), toluene (-190 reports), dichloro-
methane (-164 reports), xylene (mixed isomers) (-161 reports), acetone (-147 reports), and methyl
ethyl ketone (-104 reports). Some chemicals that had large increases in the number of reports from
1991 to 1992 are: glycol ethers (-(43 reports), manganese compounds (+42 reports), ethylbenzene
(+40 reports), and antimony compounds (+31 reports).
EPA examined the number of forms filed by facilities that reported only in 1991 or only in
1992 to determine how much of the decline in number of forms filed in 1991 was due to the decline
in number of facilities reporting. EPA determined that about 47% (or 1,313 forms) of the net
reduction of 2,799 forms was associated with facilities dropping out of the reporting system. This is
based on the 4,489 forms that were filed by facilities that reported in 1991, but not in 1992; and the
3,176 forms filed in 1992 that came from facilities that reported in 1992, but not in 1991.
1991 to 1992 Comparison of Number of Facilities
The universe of facilities submitting reports changes somewhat each year. Each year, some
facilities submit reports for the first time, and other facilities that have reported in previous years do
not submit reports for the current year. In some cases, a facility that is not required by law to report,
such as a facility with fewer than 10 employees or a facility outside the covered industry groups,
may choose to report voluntarily. Because such facilities are not obligated to report, they may
choose to file TRI reports some years but not others. There may also be Federal facilities (govern-
ment owned and operated) that are reporting voluntarily for the first time.

Year-ta-Year Comparison of TRI Data
The total number of reporting facilities declined by 664 between 1991 and 1992, representing
a 2.7% net decrease. 2,401 facilities that reported in 1991 did not report in 1992, while 1,737 facili-
ties that reported in 1992 did not report in 1991. The difference between these two numbers, 664
facilities, is equal to the net decrease of total facilities apparent in the data.
Some facilities may not have reported in 1992 because they went out of business between the
two reporting years. Of the 2,401 facilities reporting in 1991 but not in 1992, EPA has identified at
least 139 (5.8%) that have closed down. Others may not have reported because they did not exceed
the thresholds for any of the chemicals in 1992, no longer have ten full-time employees, have
changed their business activity to a non-covered SIC code, have filed late submissions, or are out of
compliance for some reason.
For example, the state of Illinois contacted TRI facilities in their state who filed 1991 reports
but did not file 1992 reports. They received responses from 38 facilities explaining the following
reasons why they did not report for 1992:
Explanations for Non-Reporting in Illinois©
No. of
Primary Reason for Not Reporting in 1992 facilities
Reporting thresholds not exceeded 15
Eliminated use of chemical 6
Discontinued process using chemical 4
Reduced production or product demand 4
Process change 4
Less than 10 full-time employees 2
Source reduction activity 1
Substituted chemical as source reduction 1
Nonfibrous aluminum oxide delisted by EPA 1
Total 38
Sometimes after reporting in one year, facilities discover that they were not required to report
because they were not in a covered SIC code or they qualified for an exemption. If they do not
withdraw their previous submissions, or if EPA has not yet processed their withdrawals, they appear
as part of the net decrease in facilities, because they filed in the previous year, but not the current
one.
EPA attempted to determine how much of the change in reported release and transfer
amounts between 1991 and 1992 was due to the decline in the number of facilities reporting. To do
this, EPA excluded the release and transfer amounts reported by facilities that filed for only one of
the two years, 1991 or 1992, but not both. The results of this analysis indicate that the decline in the
number of facilities reporting had little overall impact on the release and transfer totals. After

adjusting for the change in the universe of reporting facilities, the decrease in releases between 1991
and 1992 is about 6.3% instead of 6.6%, while the increase in transfers is about 18.9% instead of
16.9%.
1992 TRi Top Decreasers in Air/Water/Land Releases
Table 3-2 lists the 50 TRI facilities with the greatest reported decreases in air/water/land
releases from 1991 to 1992, ranked by the magnitude of their decrease. Facilities that reported
voluntarily or reported for 1991 but not 1992 were not included in Table 3-2. Together, these 50
facilities accounted for reported reductions totalling 172.3 million pounds. Some of the reductions
listed in Table 3-2 may be real and others may be due to changes in reporting or use of a different
estimation method. EPA contacted some of these facilities to better understand how and why the
decreases occurred and whether they were due to production changes, pollution prevention efforts,
estimation method change, or reporting errors. Of the fifteen facilities contacted, a total of 23
reasons were given accounting for the changes. Twenty of these reasons represented real reductions
of releases and three reasons could be attributed to "paper" changes.
BASF Corp. Lowland, TN
Total releases attributable to BASF decreased from almost 21 million pounds to 239 thou-
sand pounds because in 1992 part of the facility (rayon manufacturing operations) was sold to
Lenzing Fibers, which reports as a separate facility. Therefore, in 1992, BASF reported for only six
of eleven chemicals that they had reported in 1991.
Asarco Inc. Hayden, AZ
Releases of zinc compounds to land disposal decreased from 14.4 to 8 million pounds and
releases of copper compounds to land decreased from 6.7 to 2.5 million pounds, due to recycling of
slag from the smelter. The recycling started in the beginning of 1992.
Phelps Dodge Mining Co. Playas, NM
Releases of zinc compounds to land disposal decreased from 8 million to zero pounds. The
facility did not report for zinc compounds in 1992 for two reasons. (1) A chemical that does not
contain zinc was substituted for zinc chromate which was used to treat cooling water. (2) The levels
of zinc compounds in a slag concentrate processed by the smelter were below the de minimis
concentration for reporting so the facility no longer reports for this source. The zinc compounds are
impurities in the slag which is processed to make a copper product and are still released although the
facility is no longer required to report for them.
Releases of copper compounds to land decreased from 14.7 to 10.7 million pounds due to a
longer than normal plant shut down. The copper compounds are contained in smelter residual (slag)
from the smelter. The plant was shut down for two months in 1992, so releases reported for 1992
were only for a 10-month period instead of 12-month period.

Chapter 3—Kear-fo-Vear Comparison of TRI Data
Doe Run Co. Herculaneum, MO
Releases of zinc compounds to land disposal decreased from 12.7 to 4.6 million pounds and
releases of lead compounds to land disposal decreased from 3.1 to 1.6 million pounds due to lower
production in 1992, primarily from recycling less slag received from another plant and partly from
reduced processing of lead ore. By recycling less slag from another facility, they were able to
recycle more of their own slag in 1992, resulting in less land releases.
Eastman Kodak Co. Kingsport, TN
Total air emissions of acetone decreased from 31.7 to 25.4 million pounds due to imple-
mentation of pollution prevention measures to reduce emissions. The acetone is used as a solvent to
dissolve cellulose which is spun into fibers for further use in cigarette filters. The acetone evap-
orates during the spinning. To reduce emissions, the spinning machines are enclosed inside large
plastic curtains to capture some of the acetone emissions and channel them to scrubbers that remove
the acetone from the air. Air scrubbers and additional carbon bed systems to adsorb the acetone
were installed. The acetone recovered is recycled on-site. Existing carbon beds are being upgraded
with a constant monitoring system which will act as an early-warning sign if there is a problem in
the carbon beds and which will also allow better monitoring of acetone emissions.
The manufacturing division responsible for the majority of the acetone emissions has
committed to a 50 percent reduction based on their highest emissions level (26.2 million pounds in
1989) by year-end 1993. The $26 million acetone emission recovery project began in 1991 and is
slated for completion in 1993, which should enable attainment of their 50% reduction goal. This
division's 1992 acetone emissions were 17.1 million pounds, a 35% decrease since 1989.
3M Co. Hutchinson, MN
Releases of stack air emissions of methyl ethyl ketone decreased from 7.9 to 3 million
pounds and of toluene decreased from 4.2 to 2.1 million pounds due to recovery and reuse of these
solvents. 3M spent about $23 million to install a solvent recovery and distillation system, which
began operating in 1992. 3M has a corporate goal to reduce all air emissions by 90% by 1995 as part
of their "Pollution Prevention Pays" project. This goal will be achieved before 1995. The savings
due to solvent recovery are enough to cover the cost of the additional distillation.
Molycorp. Inc. Mountain Pass, CA
Releases of ammonium nitrate (solution) to a surface impoundment decreased from 5.8 mil-
lion to 682 thousand pounds due to shut down of a process operation. Molycorp also reduced
chlorine air emissions from 304 thousand to 32 thousand pounds (89% reduction) due to a voluntary
installation of a chlorine scrubber.
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. Mingo Junction, OH
Releases of zinc compounds to landfill decreased from 7 to 3 million pounds. The zinc
compounds are in sludge from the basic oxygen furnace process. In 1992,3 million pounds of zinc
compounds were transferred to an off-site landfill in addition to the 3 million pounds landfilled on-
site. Thus the total amount of zinc compounds from the sludge was 6 million pounds in 1992,
resulting in an actual decrease of 1 million pounds being disposed of either on-site or off-site.

Westinghouse Electric Corp. Ogden, UT
Releases of ammonia to a surface impoundment decreased from 3,8 million to zero pounds.
Westinghouse began biological treatment of its waste water effluent in 1992.
Du Pont Memphis, TN
Stack air emissions of methanol decreased from 1.9 million to 593 thousand pounds and
stack air emissions of acetone decreased from 3.4 million to 802 thousand pounds for two reasons.
The main reason is that a flare system became operational in July of 1992 that is 98% efficient in
destroying volatile chemicals that had previously been emitted to the air. The secondary reason is
that the methyl rnethacrylate process that used methanol and acetone as feedstocks was shut down
for 8 weeks in 1992. The releases reported by the facility will decrease even further in 1993, since
this methyl rnethacrylate operation was sold in July 1993.
Magnesium Corp. of America Rowley, UT
Stack air emissions of chlorine decreased from 61 to 57 million pounds due to installation in
1991 and operation in 1991 and 1992 of new chlorine reduction burners. Also, in 1992, a new
chlorine compressor and Freon unit were installed that increased efficiency in recovering and
liquefying chlorine for sale. A lower plant production rate also contributed to lower chlorine
emissions.
Kennecott Utah Copper Magna, UT
Releases of sulfuric acid to land treatment and other land disposal decreased from 6 million
to 150 thousand pounds. In 1991, the facility had a very large spill of sulfuric acid due to a tank
failure. The releases to land in 1992 are the result of four different spill incidents. All spills under-
went remedial action.
General Motors Corp. Defiance, OH
Releases of manganese compounds to land disposal decreased from 5 to 1.5 million pounds.
The facility reports releases to an on-site landfill and to a settling basin which contains emission
control sludges and slag. In 1991, the basin was dredged and solids removed to the landfill which
resulted in a larger than normal land release. The facility did not dredge the basin in 1992, so their
land releases were less than those for 1991.
General Motors Corp. Saginaw, MI
Releases of manganese to land disposal decreased from 2.2 to 1.2 million pounds due to
increased efficiency in manganese use. CMC's Saginaw facility produces automotive castings and
adds a manganese alloy to increase strength of the castings. Increased casting strength was achieved
with the use of less manganese in 1992, resulting in less releases of manganese in waste water
treatment sludge sent to a landfill.
Releases of zinc (fume or dust) to landfill decreased from 6 to 4.1 million pounds because
the facility substituted a 100% zinc coating for galvanized steel with a coating containing 50% zinc/
50% plaque iron. The reduction in manganese and zinc releases were motivated by GMC's efforts
to reduce their overall releases of hazardous materials to land.

Agrico Chemical Co. Saint James, LA
Stack air releases of ammonia decreased from 11.6 to 6.4 million pounds and releases of
suJfuric acid to water decreased from 14.2 to 11.3 million pounds. The ammonia is used to make
ammoniated phosphate fertilizer. The ammonia decrease was due to a scrubber system that was
installed at the end of 199 I/beginning of 1992. The scrubber water is then reused in the process.
The reason for reduction in sulfuric acid releases could not be determined.
1992 TRI Top Increasers in Air/Water/Land Releases
Table 3-3 lists the top 50 TRI facilities with the greatest reported increases in air/water/land
releases from 1991 to 1992, ranked by the magnitude of their increase. Facilities that reported
voluntarily or reported for 1992 but not 1991 were not included in Table 3-3. Together, these 50
facilities accounted for reported increases of 119.5 million pounds. Some of the increases listed in
Table 3-3 may be real and others may be due to changes in reporting or use of a different estimation
method. EPA contacted some of these facilities to better understand how and why the increases
occurred and whether they were due to production changes, estimation method change, reporting
errors, or other factors. Of the twelve facilities contacted, a total of 15 reasons were given
accounting for the changes. Of these 15, ten represented real increases in releases and five reasons
could be attributed to "paper" changes.
Lenzing Fibers Corp. Lowland, TN
Total releases increased from zero to 20.4 million pounds. The releases from this facility are
from a rayon manufacturing operation that was sold by BASF to Lenzing in 1992. In 1992, Lenzing
reported as a separate facility. Even though the ownership of the operation was split in 1992,
Lenzing reported the releases for all of 1992.
Arcadian Fertilizer L.P.

Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
water from the clean rain water. The seepage water, which contains recoverable amounts of phos-
phoric acid and sulfuric acid, will be recycled to the production units to become raw materials and
marketable product. The clean rain water will be discharged. By the end of 1993, the cover and
closure work will have decreased the gypsum-stacking area that is active (uncovered) to 35%. This
is expected to result in a 75% reduction in total discharges to water by the beginning of 1994 for the
three Agrico plants in Louisiana.
Amoco Oil Co. Texas City, TX
Releases to land treatment and other land disposal of 17 chemicals increased by 4.4 million
pounds. Napthalene releases increased by 1.5 million pounds, xylene releases increased by 1 million
pounds, toluene releases increased by 517 thousand pounds, 1,2,4-trimethyl benzene increased by
340 thousand pounds, and ethyl benzene increased by 248 thousand pounds. Chromium compounds,
zinc compounds, and vanadium (fume or dust) increased by 229 thousand pounds, 169 thousand
pounds, and 23 thousand pounds, respectively. The increases for the 17 chemicals were due to site
remediation and soil removal around storage basins and storage tanks.
IMC Fertilizer Inc. Mulberry, FL
Releases of phosphoric acid to land increased from 9.1 to 12.7 million pounds due to
increased vertical seepage underground from an unlined clay recirculation pond containing gypsum
stacks. The facility is a phosphate fertilizer plant. The increase was caused by the installation of a
slurry wall around the pond to decrease the lateral seepage rate of water. The increase in vertical
seepage was detected by a monitoring well system near the pond and corrective action was taken. A
new recirculation pond was installed. Reductions in releases are expected for the 1994 calendar
year.
Arcadian Fertilizer L.P. Memphis, TN
Stack air emissions of ammonia increased from 3.6 to 7.2 million pounds due to process
equipment that was not functioning efficiently. The facility produces ammonia and converts it to
urea. The ammonia losses are associated with the production of urea. The equipment problems have
been fixed.
Cabot Corp. Ville Platte, LA
Releases of stack air emissions of carbon disulfide increased from 563 thousand to 2.2 mil-
lion pounds. The facility burns fuel oil to make carbon black, and carbon disulfide is produced as a
byproduct from the residual sulfur in the fuel oil. Some of the tail gas containing carbon disulfide is
further burned in dryers and heaters and some is vented to the air. Stack testing at the facility 14
months ago resulted in a change in their method of estimating the amount of carbon disulfide plus
two other pollutants, carbon oxides and hydrogen sulfide which resulted in a higher release estimate.
In addition, there was a slight increase in production and in the amount of sulfur in the feedstock,
which also increased the emissions reported.

Chapter 3 — Year-to~Year Comparison of TRI Data
Asarco Inc. East Helena, MT
Releases of zinc compounds to land disposal increased from 31 to 32.7 million pounds due to
lower quality of ore. The facility is a metal smelter and in 1992 the ore contained a higher concen-
tration of metal compounds that they cannot smelt. The zinc compounds are removed in the slag
from the smelter to a pile on the facility's property. Testing has shown that the metals are not
leaching from the slag.
Nicca USA Inc. Fountain Inn, SC
Releases of ammonium sulfate (solution) to land treatment/application increased from zero to
2.2 million pounds due to a reporting error. The facility did not apply ammonium sulfate (solution)
to the land. Rather, they transfer the chemical off-site to another facility that uses it as fertilizer.
Nicca produces ammonium sulfate (solution) as a byproduct of the manufacture of textile chemicals.
The facility has sent in a revision to correct their 1992 ammonium sulfate (solution) report.
Cabot Corp. Franklin, LA
Total stack air releases of carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and ethylene
increased by 1.9 million pounds. Cabot produces carbon black from a heavy feedstock oil. The
chemicals released are produced as byproducts as a result of incomplete combustion (flue gases).
The increases were due to (1) increased production and (2) stack testing results.
CPI (Consolidated Papers Inc.) Wisconsin Rapids, WI
Reported releases of stack air emissions of methanol increased from 920 thousand to 2.8
million due to a change in estimation method. The methanol is a byproduct from the wood pulping
process. Prior to 1992, the facility used emission factors developed by a pulp and paper industry
association. In 1992, the methanol emissions were based on test monitoring data which resulted in a
larger, but more accurate, estimate. The facility plans to revise their estimates for prior years using
an emission factor based on the more accurate test data.
1992 TRI Top Decreasers in Underground Injection
Table 3-4 lists the 50 TRI facilities with the greatest reported decreases in underground
injection from 1991 to 1992, ranked by the magnitude of their decrease. Facilities that reported
voluntarily or reported for 1991 but not 1992 were not included in Table 3-4. Together, these 50
facilities accounted for reported reductions totalling 55.7 million pounds. Some of the decreases
listed in Table 3-4 may be real and others may be due to changes in reporting or use of a different
estimation method. EPA contacted some of these facilities to better understand how and why the
decreases occurred and whether they were due to production changes, pollution prevention efforts,
estimation method change, or reporting errors. Of the eight facilities contacted, a total of 10 reasons
were given accounting for the changes. Of these 10, seven represented real decreases and three
reasons could be attributed to "paper" changes.
BASF Corp. Geismar, LA
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid decreased from 12 to 0 million pounds due to
favorable market conditions. Hydrochloric acid is produced as a byproduct that BASF was able to
sell in 1992.

Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
Citgo Petroleum Corp. Lake Charles, LA
Underground injection of ammonia decreased from 8.8 to 3.8 million pounds due to on-site
treatment of ammonia. The ammonia is in contact cooling water used in the refining process. The
ammonia is stripped from the water with 99.9% efficiency and then sent to a furnace to be burned.
Half of the remaining process water from the stripper is recycled back to the process for reuse. The
other half is sent to waste water treatment where the ammonia is denitrified using biological
treatment.
Du Pont Johnsonville Plant New Johnsonville, TN
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid decreased from 52 to 47 million pounds due to a
change in raw materials.
BP Chemicals Inc. Lima, OH
Underground injection of acrylic acid decreased from 5.7 million to 500 thousand pounds
due to a change in estimation methods. Reported acrylic acid releases decreased between 1991 and
1992 because BP had been over-reporting in the past. They conducted internal research to improve
their analytical procedures for their deepwell stream and determined that their previous analytical
technique was biased toward very high results. Their new analytical techniques were put into effect
in 1992.
Du Pont LaPorte, TX
Underground injection of vinyl acetate decreased from 2.1 million to 840 thousand pounds
and methanol to underground injection decreased from 5.1 to 2.6 million pounds due to less process
upsets and improved wastewater stream monitoring. This was the result of extensive investigation of
processes producing underground injection streams leading to better training of operating personnel
and quicker response time to process upsets. The company expects to report an additional decrease
of 1.4 million pounds of TRI chemicals from 1992 to 1993.
Du Pont Victoria, TX
Underground injection of nitric acid decreased from 19.8 million to 17.9 million pounds.
One reason for the decline (accounting for 85% of the reduction) is better analytical techniques.
More regular sampling is used to develop better data used to estimate releases. Another reason
(accounting for 15% of the reduction) is a reduction of line purging prior to sampling and better
housekeeping and maintenance.
Mobil Oil Corp. Chalmette, LA
Underground injection of ammonia decreased from 3 million to 12 thousand pounds due to
installation of a sour water stripper which removed the ammonia. The ammonia is then converted to
water and nitrogen in the facility's sulfur plant.
Monsanto Co. Cantonment, FL
Underground injection of ammonium nitrate (solution) decreased from 5.6 to 4.6 million
pounds due to improved equalization of a waste stream without the addition of ammonia. Ammonia
had been added to the waste stream containing nitric acid which reacted to form ammonium nitrate.

1992 TRI Top Increasers in Underground Injection
Table 3-5 lists the top 50 TRI facilities with the greatest reported increases in underground
injection from 1991 to 1992, ranked by the magnitude of their increase. Facilities that reported
voluntarily or reported for 1992 but not 1991 were not included in Table 3-5. Together, these 50
facilities accounted for reported increases of 72 million pounds. Some of the increases listed in
Table 3-5 may be real and others may be due to changes in reporting or use of a different estimation
method. EPA contacted some of these facilities to better understand how and why the increases
occurred and whether they were due to production changes, estimation method change, reporting
errors, or other factors. Of the 11 facilities contacted, a total of 17 reasons were given accounting for
the changes. Of these 17, fourteen represented real increases and three reasons could be attributed to
"paper" changes.
Vulcan Chemicals Wichita, KS
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid increased from 35 to 44.3 million pounds due to
an increase in production in 1992 which resulted in production of hydrochloric acid in excess of
sales demand.
Du Pont Delisle Pass Christian, LA
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid increased from 41 to 52 million pounds. The
facility manufactures titanium dioxide and hydrochloric acid is a byproduct. The increase is due to
an increase in production by a factor of 1.5 from 1991 to 1992. It is also due to changes in the
quality of titanium ore as well as increased rainfall which leaches ore piles.
Du Pont Louisville Plant Louisville, KY
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid increased from 22 to 29 million pounds. Due to
seasonal fluctuations in market conditions, Du Pont was unable to sell all of its byproduct hydro-
chloric acid, which is produced during the manufacture of Freon 22 and other CFCs. After develop-
ing additional storage for the acid so it can be sold when the market is more favorable, Du Pont was
able to shut down its Louisville Deepwell in September 1992.
American Cyanamid Co. Westwego, LA
Underground injection of ammonia increased from 47 to 50 million pounds. An increased
concentration of ammonia (at the parts per million level) in the deepwell stream resulted from
fluctuations in the process. This produced a large change in the amount of ammonia injected. Also
an increase in production increased the ammonia waste stream.
Cabot Corp. Tuscola, IL
Underground injection of hydrochloric acid increased from 14.2 to 18.9 million pounds due
to poor market conditions for the sale of hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid is a byproduct
from their manufacturing process. Their 1992 production of hydrochloric acid remained the same as
for 1991, and what could not be sold was deep well injected. The facility expects a dramatic
decrease for the 1993 report, since they sold all the hydrochloric acid they made in 1993.

Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
Angus Chemical Co. Sterlington, LA
Underground injection of nitric acid increased from 910 thousand to 4.1 million pounds due
to an increase in production. The facility has three operations, one of which was not in operation
from May 1991 until March 1992. This operation produces nitroparaffms and uses nitric acid as a
reactant. The nitric acid injected underground comes from the organic sludge containing excess
unreacted nitric acid which is separated from the nitroparaffin product. Therefore the increase
reflects the difference in four months of production in 1991 as compared to ten months of production
for 1992. The plant operated a full year in 1993, and so releases for 1993 should be larger and more
typical than for either 1991 or 1992.
Du Pont Beaumont Plant Beaumont, TX
Underground injection of ammonia increased from 14.1 to 16.9 million pounds due to
increased production rates and improved reporting methods. The plant produces ammonia, acrylo-
nitrile, aniline, and synthetic rubbers.
Underground injection of ammonium nitrate (solution) increased from 14.7 to 17.3 million
pounds due to (1) increased production rates, (2) increased operating efficiency which produced a
larger amount of ammonium nitrate, and (3) improved monitoring of the process. Ammonium
nitrate is a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacturing.
Coastal Chemical Inc. Cheyenne, WY
Underground injection of ammonium nitrate (solution) increased from 7.3 to 10.3 million
pounds due to two reasons: a production increase caused wastewater to increase and an evaporator
that had been built as a waste minimization effort to concentrate this wastestream into product was
taken out of service because it had been built without a permit. It is now permitted and operational,
so releases of ammonium nitrate should decrease.
Amoco Oil Co. Texas City, TX
Underground injection of ammonia increased from 7.4 to 10.7 million pounds due to a 30%
increase in sour water flow to their deep injection wells. This was caused by an increase in wash
water flow for controlling corrosion at several process units. Another reason for the increase was
that the concentration of ammonia in the sour water increased 12%. Amoco is pursuing projects to
reduce the total flow of sour water sent to their deep wells.
Rubicon Inc. Geismar, LA
Underground injection of ammonium nitrate (solution) increased from 490 thousand to 2
million pounds and underground injection of ammonia increased from 1.8 to 3.1 million pounds.
Overall, disposal of both chemicals has increased because (1) the plant has substituted ammonia
solution in place of caustic solution for use in their scrubbers and (2) they have increased and
improved monitoring which has made them realize that their previous ammonia estimates were low.
In addition, in 1992 the facility began including the ammonia portion of ammonium sulfate in their
report for ammonia rather than reporting the ammonium sulfate (solution).

1988 TO 1992 DATA COMPARISONS
This section compares summary release and transfer data for the 1988 and 1990 through 1992
reporting years (see Table 3-6 and Figures 3-4 and 3-5) in order to highlight and help explain
changes and possible trends.
Tables (except Table 3-14) and text in this section include only those chemicals listed for all
reporting years from 1988 through 1992; any chemicals added, deleted, or whose listing was
modified (aluminum oxide) during that time are not included. Data also do not include reports for
di-n-octyl phthalate, which was reported all years but was delisted in October of 1993. Therefore
totals reported here for years 1991 and 1992 will not exactly match totals reported in the 1991 to
1992 Data Comparisons section because the chemical set is different. Release and transfer data for
added chemicals are listed in Table 3-14.
This section includes releases to all media, as well as transfers to POTWs and to other off-
site locations for disposal, treatment, energy recovery and recycling. Off-site transfers reported
without waste management codes, or with invalid codes, are included in a category called "other off-
site transfers." For reporting years 1988 and 1990, this category also includes data reported with
valid recycling and energy recovery codes if they were used. Transfers for energy recovery and
recycling were not required for reporting years 1988 and 1990. They were required for the 1991 and
1992 reporting years.
1988,1990 to 1992 Releases and Transfers
Since 1988, TRI reported releases have declined 35%, from 4.85 billion pounds in 1988 to
3.16 billion pounds in 1992. Reported transfers to POTWs, disposal and treatment have declined
34%, from 1.56 billion pounds in 1988 to 1.03 billion pounds in 1992.
Air emissions have declined 32%, from 2.68 billion pounds in 1988 to 1.82 billion pounds in
1992. Surface water discharges have declined about 12.3%, from 311 million pounds in 1988 to
273 million pounds in 1992. Reported releases to surface waters decreased 36.3% from 1988 to
1990, largely because facilities incorrectly reported mineral acid releases in the early years of the
TRI program and because many facilities changed their reporting method for ammonium sulfate
(solution) (see discussion below). However, releases to water have increased in each of the last three
reporting years.

Chapter 3 — Year-to- Year Comparison of TRI Data
Reported underground injection of waste has decreased about 46%, from 1.34 billion pounds
in 1988 to 726 million pounds in 1992. Reported releases to land have declined about 34%, from
515 million pounds in 1988 to 338 million pounds in 1992. Transfers to POTWs decreased from
581 million pounds in 1988 to 381 million pounds in 1992, a decrease of 34%. Transfers to off-site
locations for treatment declined almost 21%, from 493 million pounds in 1988 to 390 million pounds
in 1992. Transfers to disposal declined about 47%, from 485 million pounds in 1988 to 256 million
pounds in 1992. The other off-site transfers reported in 1988 and 1990 are not comparable to those
reported in 1991 and 1992, since the 1988 and 1990 data included some transfers reported with
recycling and energy recovery waste management codes.
Between 1988 and 1990, there were large decreases in releases to surface waters (-36%), to
underground injection (-44%) and transfers to POTWs (-19%). A large portion of these decreases
was attributable to a new reporting option for ammonium sulfate (solution). Beginning with the
1990 reporting year, facilities were given the option of reporting their releases and transfers of
ammonium sulfate (solution) either as ammonium sulfate (solution) or as ammonia. Sulfate
accounts for 73%, by weight, of ammonium sulfate. Thus, facilities that chose to report ammonium
sulfate (solution) as ammonia would have reported releases and transfers of ammonia that were
approximately one-quarter of the ammonium sulfate (solution) estimates.
1988, 1990 to 1992 Number of Facilities and Forms
In general, the number of reporting facilities and the number of forms filed increased in the
first few years of the program and then declined somewhat. Below are the total numbers of reporting
facilities and submitted forms for each reporting year 1988, 1990-1992 (including only those forms
for chemicals which were reportable in all years 1988-1992 and excluding di-n-octyl phthalate):

24,181

23,533
The number of facilities submitting at least one Form R increased between 1988 and 1990.
However, between 1990 and 1991, and between 1991 and 1992 the number of reporting facilities
declined. The 1991-1992 decline is examined in the 1991-1992 data comparison section of this
chapter. The number of facilities and forms for 1992 will probably increase slightly by next year due
to late submissions and corrections of forms that could not be processed due to serious errors.
Using data for only those chemicals reportable for all four years and excluding di-n-octyl
phthalate, the total number of forms filed per year increased by more than 8,178 between 1988 and
1990; at least some of this increase was due to the lowered manufacturing and processing reporting
thresholds. Between 1990 and 1991, the total number of reporting facilities dropped by 532 and the
186
-------
Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRi Data
total number of forms filed dropped by 3,395. Between 1991 and 1992, there were 648 fewer report-
ing facilities and 2,679 fewer total forms. This decline is explored in the 1991-1992 data comparison
section of this chapter.
Between 1988 and 1989, the number of forms filed per chemical increased for most
chemicals; again, this would be expected since the manufacturing and processing thresholds dropped
for 1989. Between 1989 and 1990, the number of forms filed per chemical increased for some
chemicals and decreased for others. Between 1990 and 1991, and between 1991 and 1992 there was
a noticeable drop in the numb.er of forms submitted per chemical (see 1991-1992 Data Comparisons
section).
Listed below are the number of reports per year for the 20 most frequently reported
chemicals (Table 3-7) and for chemicals that are ozone depleters (Table 3-8).
There are also 42 chemicals (see Box 3-1) for which no reports have been received for all
years, 1988-1992.

1988,1990-1992 Comparison of TRI Releases of Ozone Depleters and Carcinogens
Table 3-10 lists 1988, 1990-1992 releases to air, water, and land for 11 chemicals that are
ozone depleters. Seven of these chemicals were added for reporting year 1991 and beyond, so only
two years of data are available. Most of the chemicals show significant decreases due to Clean Air
Act requirements for phaseont of their production and use.
Table 3-11 shows 1988, 1990-1992 air/water/land releases for 25 carcinogens with the
largest air/water/land releases reported in 1992. Most of these chemicals show a significant decline
from 1988 to 1992 especially asbestos (friable), chromium, ethylene oxide, and lead. Some
chemicals, such as arsenic, nickel, and 1,4-dioxane, have large increases in air/water/land releases
since 1988.
Does not include data for aluminum oxide, delisted chemicals, or chemicals added in 1990 and 1991.
Percent change is not the same as in Table 3-1 because the chemicals set is different.
Facilities that reported more than one two-digit SIC code within the range of 20 to 39 [e.g., paper (26) and chemicals (28)].
Facilities that did not report an S[C code and facilities that reported SIC codes outside the 20 to 39 range.

Chapter 3 — Year-to-Year Comparison of TRI Data
REASONS FACILITY RELEASE/TRANSFER ESTIMATES CHANGE
A number of factors affect the release and transfer estimates provided by facilities. Some
reported increases and decreases are real—that is, changes in the amounts reported reflect changes in
the amounts actually released and transferred. Other reported increases and decreases are accounting
or "paper" changes that do not reflect an actual change in releases and transfers from the prior
year(s). Often, changes in amounts reported by facilities are due to a combination of several factors.
Real Changes
Real changes in TRI releases can result from a variety of factors. Source reduction activities,
such as process changes, elimination of spills and leaks, inventory control, improved maintenance,
and alternative methods of cleaning and degreasing can cause substantial real reductions in TRI
releases.
Chemical substitution—that is, replacing a listed TRI chemical with another, possibly less
toxic, chemical—will cause a real decrease in the listed TRI chemical that is no longer being used by
the facility or is being used in smaller quantities.
However, it is important to look at what chemical or chemicals, if any, have replaced the
listed TRI chemical. Sometimes a listed TRI chemical is replaced with another listed TRI chemical,
resulting in decreased releases/transfers of one TRI chemical but possibly increased releases/trans-
fers of the other. Sometimes listed TRI chemicals are replaced with chemicals that are also toxic,
but are not yet included on the TRI list. In such cases, the substitution will cause a real decrease in
releases/transfers of the listed chemical that is no longer being used, but these releases/transfers may
be replaced by unreported releases/transfers of the unlisted substitute chemical.
Production increases and decreases can cause changes in reported facility releases/transfers.
Releases/transfers are likely to increase when production increases, and decrease when production
decreases, although the relationship is not necessarily linear. For 1991 and 1992, the TRI database
includes production indices provided by facilities on each chemical reporting form to help relate
reported releases/transfers to reported changes in production levels.
Releases/transfers may increase one year due to an abnormal event not related to normal
production processes, such as an accidental release or a clean-up operation. These one-time events
can cause a real but anomalous increase in the reporting year in which they occur, and then a
decrease from that abnormally high level the following year. The 1991 and 1992 TRI data provide
estimates for these one-time, non-production related releases/transfers (see Chapter 2).
Installation of pollution control equipment may also lead to real reductions in TRI releases/
transfers. However, it is important to note that if the pollution control does not destroy the reported
chemical it may merely shift waste from one type of release, treatment, or disposal to another.
193
-------
Chapter 3 — year-to-year Comparison of TRI Data
Increased recycling and reuse of wastes instead of disposal will result in real decreases in
TRI releases and/or in transfers for treatment and disposal. Sometimes facilities are able to sell
waste materials as usable raw materials or products, which may also result in real decreases in TRI
emissions.
"Paper" Changes
A common type of "paper" change occurs when a facility changes the way it estimates or
calculates its releases for reporting purposes. Changing estimation techniques, or changing from
estimation to monitoring of releases, can cause a change in the amount reported without a corres-
ponding change in actual releases.
Reported amounts may change without actual releases/transfers changing when reporting
guidance is clarified or a facility changes its interpretation of the reporting guidance. For example,
EPA revised its guidance for 1991 concerning the de minimis exemption and beneficiation
activities, such as ore processing. These activities are no longer excluded from this exemption,
which could result in lower reported releases for some facilities.
Apparent increases or decreases can occur if a facility makes a reporting error one year and
does not submit a revision. Examples of common reporting errors include misunderstanding the
reporting requirements and exemptions, mathematical miscalculations, and typographical errors.
Prior to 1991, total amounts reported to TRI may have decreased in part because facilities
shifted their transfers of TRI chemicals to energy recovery or recycling instead of disposal or treat-
ment. Until 1991, transfers for energy recovery or recycling were not required to be reported to TRI.
However, for the 1991 reporting year and beyond, these transfers must be reported as part of the new
pollution prevention data.
Survey Results of Reasons for Change for 1989-1990
In 1991, EPA surveyed a statistical sample of 1,206 facilities, 960 of which responded, to
assess the comparative impact of various real and "paper" changes on the TRI data between 1989
and 1990. Specifically, the study focused on the comparative impact of measurement/estimation
technique changes, production changes, and source reduction activities. The study estimated the
number of forms and facilities associated with each reason for change and the quantity of change in
pounds attributable to each reason for change. The results are shown in Box 3-2.
The survey found that the category of "other factors" accounted for more of the net change
from 1989 to 1990 than any other reason assessed. In large part, this is probably because this cate-
gory includes everything not included in the other categories, such as changes in reporting guidance,
changes in facility interpretation and application of that guidance, reporting errors, accidental and
one-time releases, increased recycling, and other unexplained reasons. This study was able to
develop estimates for only a few of the various reasons within this "other" category. This category

1988,1990-1992 TRI Releases and Transfers by State, Industry, and Chemical
The following four tables contain four year TRI release and transfer data categorized by state
(Table 3-12), by industry (Table 3-13), by added chemical (Table 3-14) and by chemical reportable
for 1988-1992 (Table 3-15). Each table contains 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1992 TRI data for each type
of release (fugitive air, stack air, water, underground injection and land) and each category of
transfer (recycling, energy recovery, treatment, POTW, disposal and other).
Tables 3-12, 3-13, and 3-15 do not contain data for any chemicals delisted (including di-n-
octyl phthalate), added (see Table 3-14), or modified (aluminum oxide). Table 3-15 does not list any
chemicals reportable for 1988-1992 for which no reports were received in all years 1988 through
1992. See Box 3-1 for a list of these chemicals.
Transfers for recycling and energy recovery were not required until the 1991 reporting year.
"Other" off-site transfers include those reported with missing or invalid waste management codes.
Data for the other off-site transfers for 1988 and 1990 in the tables may include those transfers
reported with valid recycling and energy recovery codes. For these reasons, the total transfers for
1988 or 1990 are not comparable to total transfers for 1991 or 1992.

Does not include data for aluminum oxide, delisted chemicals, or chemicals added in 1990 and 1991.
NA: Transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required to be reported for 1988 and 1990.
For 1991 and 1992, transfers reported with no waste management codes or invalid codes. For 1988 and 1990, transfers reported
with no waste management codes, invalid codes, or codes not required to be reported in 1988 and 1990.
Because transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required to be reported in 1988 and 1990, total transfers in those
years are not comparable to total transfers reported for 1991 and 1992, (Total transfers for 1988 and 1990 appear in italics.)
No reports received from Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Does not include data for aluminum oxide, delisted chemicals, or chemicals added in 1990 and 1991.
NA: Transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required to be reported for 1988 and 1990.
For 1991 and 1992, transfers reported with no waste management codes or invalid codes. For 1988 and 1990, transfers reported
with no waste management codes, invalid codes, or codes not required to be reported in 1988 and 1990.
Because transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required to be reported in 1988 and 1990, total transfers in those
years are not comparable to total transfers reported for 1991 and 1992. (Total transfers for 1988 and 1990 appear in italics.)
Facilities that reported more than one two-digit SIC code within the range of 20 to 39 [e.g., paper (26) and chemicals (28)].
Facilities that did not report an SIC code and facilities that reported SIC codes outside the 20 to 39 range.

Although dichlorodifluoromethane was not reportable for reporting year 1990, one TRI form was received and was inadvertently
entered into the database.
NA: Transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required for 1990.
For 1991 and 1992 transfers reported with no waste management codes or invalid codes. For 1990, transfers reported with no
waste management codes, invalid codes, or codes not required to be reported in 1990.
Because transfers for recycling or energy recovery were not required to be reported in 1990, total transfers in that year are not
comparable to total transfers reported for 1991 and 1992. (Total transfers for 1990 appear in italics.)

TRI REPORTING PROFILES FOR
33/50 PROGRAM CHEMICALS
INTRODUCTION
The 33/50 Program, an EPA voluntary pollution prevention initiative, derives its name from
its overall goals—an interim goal of a 33% reduction in 1992 and an ultimate goal of a 50% reduc-
tion by 1995 in releases and transfers of 17 high-priority toxic chemicals (see Box 4-1), using 1988
TRI reporting as a baseline. During 1988,1.48 billion pounds of the target chemicals were either
released to the environment on-site or transferred off-site to waste management facilities. The aim
of the 33/50 Program is to reduce this amount by at least 50%—743 million pounds—by 1995, with
an interim reduction target of more than 490 million pounds by 1992.
The 33/50 Program represents an innovative experiment aimed at demonstrating whether
voluntary reduction programs can augment the Agency's traditional command-and-control approach
by achieving targeted reductions more quickly than would regulations alone. The Program is part of
a broad group of EPA activities designed to encourage pollution prevention as the best means of
achieving reductions in toxic chemical emissions. More than 16,000 TRI facilities have reported
33/50 Program chemicals to TRI since 1988. By contacting the chief executives of the parent
companies of TRI facilities that report 33/50 Program chemicals, the Program seeks to instill a
pollution prevention ethic throughout the highest echelons of American businesses.
At the time the 33/50 Program was formulated, 1988 was the most recent year for which TRI
data were available, and the Program's baseline and goals were set accordingly. Reductions that
companies achieved between 1988 and 1990 therefore contribute to the 33/50 Program's national

reduction goals. However, these prior reductions should not be viewed as resulting from the 33/50
Program, as companies were first informed about the Program in February of 1991.
Many states, a number of industry associations, and numerous individual companies include
33/50 Program chemicals within the scope of their own reduction programs. Twenty-six states had
established toxics use reduction and pollution prevention programs prior to establishment of the
33/50 Program, and these contributed to its design. Others have used the 33/50 Program as a model.
EPA views the 33/50 Program as an umbrella under which the federal government, states, industry,
and communities work in partnership to achieve common goals. Any progress in reducing emissions
of 33/50 Program chemicals reflects the efforts of all these partners.
Analyses of 33/50 Program progress consider only those data elements facilities were
required to report in 1988: environmental releases and transfers off-site for treatment and disposal
(including transfers to POTWs and transfers with missing or invalid transfer codes). Transfers off-
site for energy recovery and for recycling are not included in 33/50 Program goals.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Findings revealed in the 1992 TRI reporting data are summarized below. The data them-
selves are presented in subsequent sections. As with all TRI reporting, data represent facility
estimates, and some reported reductions may not be reflected in real declines in releases or transfers.
33/50 Program Chemicals Continue Trend
Toward Early Achievement of 1995 Reduction Goal
Releases and transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals were reduced significantly between 1991
and 1992, continuing to approach the Program's ultimate reduction goal of 50% by 1995,
• Aggregate reductions of the 17 target chemicals from 1988 through 1992 stand at 596 million
pounds (40.1%), exceeding by more than 100 million pounds the 33/50 Program's 1992
interim 33% reduction goal of 490 million pounds (see Figure 4-1).
* Releases and transfers of the 17 target chemicals declined at four times the rate reported for
all other TRI chemicals between 1991 and 1992 (10.4% vs. 2.6%), and accounted for more
than half of the total reduction in releases and transfers of all TRI chemicals during that
period.
» Facilities' projections for 33/50 Program chemicals suggest the Program's 1995 50%
reduction goal of 743 million pounds may be achieved substantially ahead of schedule.
Projections for 1993 suggest the potential for an additional 100 million pounds of reductions;
facilities anticipate a total of nearly 200 million pounds of additional reductions by 1994.
Facilities owned by companies participating in the 33/50 Program reported the highest
reduction levels and accounted for most of the pounds of 33/50 Program, chemical reductions.
262
-------
Chapter 4 — TFtt Reporting Profiles for 33/50 Program Chemicals
• Between 1991 and 1992, facilities owned by Program participants reduced releases and
transfers of the 17 Program chemicals by 15%, nearly twice the rate of reduction achieved by
facilities owned by non-participating companies.
• Participating companies accounted for 80% of the reduction in 33/50 Program chemical
releases and transfers in the last year.
• Since 1988, participating companies have almost halved their releases and transfers of 33/50
Program chemicals (48%).
Total 33/50 Program Chemical Production-Related Wastes Projected to Decline
• Total production-related wastes associated with 33/50 Program chemicals increased slightly
between 1991 and 1992, but are projected to decline significantly in 1993 and 1994.

• Facilities owned by 33/50 Program participating companies reported an increase in
production-related waste for the Program's 17 target chemicals in the last year, but are
projecting substantial waste reductions in 1993 and 1994.
Source Reduction Activity Highlights
• 33/50 Program chemicals again in 1992 evidenced higher rates and levels of source reduction
activity reporting than other TRI chemicals.
• Individual 33/50 Program chemicals had some of the highest rates of source reduction
activity reporting in 1992.
COMPANY PARTICIPATION IN THE 33/50 PROGRAM
While the 33/50 Program does not have a fixed goal for the number of companies electing to
participate, the Program nonetheless has placed considerable emphasis on outreach to prospective
companies in an effort to promote a pollution prevention ethic as widely as possible.
Numbers of Companies Participating
Initial communications about the 33/50 Program are directed to the chief executive officers
of the parent companies of the more than 16,000 industrial facilities that have reported to TRI any of
the Program's 17 target chemicals since 1988. At the close of the Program's third year in February
of 1994, nearly 7,500 companies had been contacted by EPA with invitations to participate. Of
these, 1,216 companies have elected to enroll, pledging to reduce voluntarily more than 355 million
pounds of pollution (see Figure 4-2).
The "Top 600" companies with the greatest amounts of releases and transfers were the first to
be contacted and have been the focus of greater outreach follow-up from the Program's headquarters
and Regional Office staffs. This concentration on larger companies has proven quite effective, with
more than 60% of these companies electing to participate. However, only a little over 11% of the
nearly 7,000 smaller companies contacted by EPA since 1991 have chosen to enroll (although the
number of participants from this diverse group of companies continues to approach 1,000).
Reductions Pledged by Participating Companies
More than 700 of the participating companies have provided release/transfer reduction targets
for 33/50 Program chemicals totalling 355 million pounds by 1995. For these companies, whose
base year amounts accounted for 78% of the releases and transfers reported by all Program partici-
pants, this reduction commitment represents slightly less than 50% per company.
Most of the remaining Program participants have also developed reduction targets, but have
structured them in ways that are difficult to assess against the 1988 release/transfer baseline. For
example, many companies have reduction goals that are indexed to changes in production. If
production remains constant throughout the duration of the Program, these can be read as direct
264
-------
Chapter 4 — TRI Reporting Profiles for 33/50 Program Chemicals w-sgg
reductions targets. However, where production increases or decreases, the absolute impact of the
company's reduction pledge can not be determined in advance. Accordingly, EPA has not factored
these commitments into its assessment of total release/transfer reductions anticipated to be obtained
through the 33/50 Program.
Other Program participants have developed reduction goals that go beyond the goals of the
33/50 Program. Some have pledged to reduce all TRI releases and transfers by specified amounts or
percentages, but have not indicated specific targets for 33/50 Program chemicals. Others have gone
beyond targeting end-of-pipe releases or transfers by attempting to reduce their actual use of toxic
chemicals, but have not stipulated the impact such pollution prevention initiatives will have on
environmental releases of 33/50 Program chemicals. As a result, the 355 million pounds of release/
transfer reductions represents a lower bound on the reductions that companies are attempting under
the 33/50 Program.
Actual Reductions Out-Pacing Pledges
As evidenced in both the 1991 and 1992 TRI reporting data, actual reductions being
achieved by companies for the Program's 17 target chemicals are exceeding significantly EPA's
conservative interpretation of companies' reduction pledges. The 596 million pounds of 33/50
Program chemical releases and transfers reduced between 1988 and 1992 is more than two-thirds
greater than the 355 million pounds pledged by participating companies to be reduced by 1995.

Some of these additional reductions are a result of decreases being achieved by companies
that are not participating in the Program (about 170 million pounds through 1992). Some is due to
the efforts of participating companies whose reduction pledges could not be not factored into the
national total. Significantly, however, companies that have made reduction pledges are achieving
greater results than even they anticipated.
33/50 PROGRAM RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
Table 4-1 presents facilities' reports of on-site releases and off-site transfers to treatment and
disposal for 1988, the 33/50 Program's base year, and for the latest three years: 1990,1991, and
1992, Therefore, with few exceptions, TRI data for 1989 will not be presented. In order to control
for changes to the chemical list over time, year-to-year comparisons are based on a consistent list of
chemicals that have been reportable for all years 1988-1992. In addition, 33/50 Program chemicals
are broken out in aggregate for comparison to all other TRI chemicals. The trends in reductions for
each grouping of chemicals are depicted in Figure 4-3.
33/50 Program Chemical Reductions versus Reductions for Other TRI Chemicals
Figure 4-4 highlights the dramatic change in the reduction trends for 33/50 Program
chemicals versus other TRI chemicals that began in 1991, the year that the 33/50 Program was
announced, and that continues to be observed through 1992, the Program's second year. Facilities'
1992 TRI reports show that in the first two years after formal announcement of the 33/50 Program,
the 17 target chemicals were reduced at over twice the rate observed for all other TRI chemicals: a
28.7% reduction between 1990 and 1992 for 33/50 Program chemicals versus a 12.4% reduction for
the remaining TRI chemicals. In the last year alone, Program chemicals out-paced reductions in
other TRI chemicals by four to one (10.4% vs. 2.6%).
This reduction pattern represents a significant change from that observed in years prior to the
initiation of the 33/50 Program. Prior to 1991, reductions in the releases and off-site transfers of the
17 33/50 Program chemicals lagged significantly behind reductions in other TRI chemicals. When
the 17 33/50 Program chemicals are subtracted, remaining TRI releases and transfers declined by
24% from 1988 through 1990. During that same period, emissions of the 17 targeted 33/50 Program
chemicals were reduced by only 16%,
Between 1991 and 1992, reductions in releases and transfers of the 17 33/50 Program
chemicals were also greater in absolute amounts than those reported for all other chemicals subject
to TRI reporting requirements: a 103 million pound reduction for Program chemicals compared to an
88 million pound decline for the other TRI chemicals. This despite the fact that the 17 33/50
Program chemicals represented only 23% of TRI total releases and transfers in 1991 (reduced to
21% in 1992).
Reductions of the 17 33/50 Program chemicals are accounting for increasing proportions of
the aggregate TRI release/transfer reductions. Prior to the Program's initiation in 1991, the 17 target
chemicals accounted for 16.5% of the reductions in the releases and transfers of TRI chemicals
(238 million of the 1.4 billion pounds of TRI releases and transfers reduced between 1988 and

1990). In the Program's first year, the portion of total reductions attributable to 33/50 Program
chemicals jumped to 40%; between 1991 and 1992, the share of reductions associated with Program
chemicals increased again to more than half (54%) of the TRI total.
The "leaders-in-reductions" role being played by 33/50 Program chemicals is also reflected
in the reductions performance of the individual TRI facilities that use these chemicals. Nine out of
the top ten facilities reporting the greatest absolute reductions in direct environmental releases
(excluding underground injection) of all TRI chemicals between 1991 and 1992 are owned by
companies that are participating in the 33/50 Program. 33/50 Program companies also own 18 of the
top 20 and 41 of the top 50 total non-injection release reduction facilities.
33/50 Program Chemical Releases and Transfers,
by Medium/Management Method and by Chemical
Releases and off-site transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals are summarized by chemical and
release medium/transfer management method in Table 4-2. The "Subtotal" column in the transfers
portion of this table represents those transfer types (POTWs, treatment, and disposal) that are
included in the 33/50 Program goals. Figures 4-5 and 4-6 illustrate the reduction trends for 33/50
Program chemicals aggregated by on-site release medium/off-site transfer type, and by chemical,
respectively.
Off-site transfers of 33/50 Program chemicals have declined at a higher rate (-52.8% since
1988) than have on-site environmental releases (-36.9%). However, between 1991 and 1992 release
reductions occurred at almost twice the rate of that for off-site transfers for treatment and disposal
(11.2% vs. 6.1%). Releases of other TRI chemicals declined at less than half the rate for 33/50
Program chemicals in 1992 (4.8%), and transfers actually increased by nearly 4% (33.9 million
pounds).
Transfers to Energy Recovery and Recycling
As described in Chapter 2, the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) substantially
expanded the scope of TRI to include reporting on additional toxic chemical management activities.
Off-site transfers to energy recovery and recycling processes are now reported in Section 6.2 of
Form R in addition to the previously reported transfers to POTW's and other treatment and disposal
facilities. Off-site transfers to energy recovery and recycling facilities are also reported in Section 8
of Form R, which was made mandatory under the PPA commencing with the 1991 reporting period.
Transfers to energy recovery (215.1 million pounds) and transfers to recycling (763.2 million
pounds) in 1992 again substantially exceeded the total for all previously reported off-site transfers of
33/50 Program chemicals (142.1 million pounds). While on-site releases of Program chemicals
declined by 11.2% and off-site transfers for treatment and disposal decreased by 6.1% between 1991
and 1992, transfers of the 17 target chemicals to recycling increased by more than 40%. Transfers
to energy recovery, on the other hand, declined slightly (1.2%).

TRI POLLUTION PREVENTION ACT DATA FOR 33/50 PROGRAM
CHEMICALS
In Section 8 of Form R, which was made mandatory under the PPA starting with the 1991
reporting year, facilities report the amounts of toxic chemicals:
• recycled or reused in on-site and off-site processes;
• combusted in on-site and off-site energy recovery systems;
• destroyed in on-site treatment systems and amounts sent to off-site treatment facilities;
• released to the environment as a result of on-site operations plus the amounts shipped off-site
for disposal.
Section 8 reporting items described above pertain only to chemical quantities contained in
wastes that are the result of regular production-related activities. Toxic chemical quantities
contained in wastes that are generated at the facility through non-routine activities, such as spill
clean-ups and catastrophic events, are reported in a separate Section 8 reporting item. Each of the
items reported for production-related wastes in Section 8 is reported in aggregate, by chemical, for
the reporting year (1992), the prior year (1991), and forecasted by facilities for the two successive
years (1993 and 1994).
Analysts will note significant discrepancies between reported off-site transfers to recycling in
Sections 6 and 8 of Form R. Less significant discrepancies can also be observed in the reporting of
off-site shipments to energy recovery and treatment. The causes and meaning of these discrepancies
are discussed in Chapter 2.
Furthermore, those who compare 1992 TRI production waste data with the figures presented
in the 1991 TRI Public Data Release published report will observe a substantial decline (20%) in the
amounts reported for 33/50 Program chemical production wastes and one of its components, on-site
recycling. Most of this change, however, is the result of an erroneous report submitted for 199 1 by
one facility for on-site recycling of methyl ethyl ketone and toluene. The facility corrected the error
after the 1991 data release. Accordingly, year-to-year comparisons of 33/50 Program chemical on-
site recycling and total production waste amounts should be conducted using only the 1992 edition
of the reporting data, which includes the corrected reporting for 1991 .
Management of 33/50 Program Chemicals in Wastes
Tables 4-3 through 4-7 present the four years of Section 8 data reported for each 33/50
Program chemical in 1992, by waste management activity (non-production-related wastes are
reported only for 1992). Figures 4-7 and 4-8 illustrate the trends in these data, aggregated by
management method and chemical, respectively.

"Total Production Related Wastes" refers to wastes associated with routine production processes and is the sum of the amounts
recycled on- and off-site, used for energy recovery on- and off-site, treated on- and off-site, and released, "Non-Production
Related Wastes" refers to the quantity released to the environment as a result of remedial actions, catastrophic events, or one-
time events not associated with production processes.

Chapter 4 — TRI Reporting Profiles for 33/50 Program Chemicals
33/50 Program chemical production-related wastes increased slightly (1%) between 1991 and
1992, less than the increase observed for other TRI chemicals (3.2%). However, facilities are
projecting decreases in production waste for 33/50 Program chemicals in 1993 (-3.8%) and again
between 1993 and 1994 (-2%). Production wastes for other TRI chemicals are projected to continue
to increase through 1994, though only slightly (1.5%).
Facilities owned by 33/50 Program participating companies reported a 3% increase in
production-related waste for the Program's 17 target chemicals in the last year. Interestingly,
production wastes for Program chemicals generated by non-participants actually declined by a
similar amount. Participating companies, however, are projecting nearly a 12% reduction in 33/50
Program chemical production waste over the next two years, while non-participating companies are
projecting a 3% increase.
SOURCE REDUCTION REPORTING FOR 33/50 PROGRAM CHEMICALS
Facilities are also required to report in Section 8 of Form R any source reduction efforts that
were directed toward TRI chemicals during the reporting year and the methods they employed in
identifying source reduction opportunities.
Source Reduction Activities
Table 4-8 summarizes facilities' reporting of source reduction activities for each of the 17
33/50 Program chemicals. As a group and individually, 33/50 Program chemicals evidenced higher
rates and levels of source reduction activity reporting than for other TRI chemicals. Of the more
than 20,000 Form Rs reporting that a source reduction activity was implemented during 1992, nearly
40% (8,049) were for the 17 33/50 Program chemicals, even though Program chemicals account for
only 30% of total TRI Form Rs. One third of the Form Rs for 33/50 Program chemicals reported the
occurrence of source reduction, compared to slightly more than one-fifth of the forms for other TRI
chemicals.
Individual 33/50 Program chemicals had some of the highest rates of reporting on source
reduction. The three TRI chemicals with the greatest number of Form Rs reporting source reduction
are 33/50 Program chemicals (1,1,1-trichloroethane, toluene, and xylenes (mixed isomers)). The
high ranking for 33/50 Program chemicals is partially due to the fact that they rank among the
highest TRI chemicals in total number of Form Rs submitted, but they also evidenced some of the
highest percentages of Form R submissions indicating source reduction.
Fourteen 33/50 Program chemicals are among the top 35 TRI chemicals for numbers of
forms reporting source reduction. Of these, organic chemicals generally evidenced higher percent-
ages of Form Rs reporting source reduction than did the metals, ranging from 30% to 47% for the
nine organic chemicals with the largest number of source reduction reports.
284
-------
Chapter 4—TRI Reporting Profiles for 33/50 Program Chemicals WM-assgi
Facilities described the type of source reduction activity which they implemented for each
chemical (see Table 4-8), 33/50 Program chemicals as a group did not differ significantly from
other TRI chemicals in the types of activities employed. Improvement in facility operating practices
is the most common approach.
Methods Used to Identify Source Reduction Opportunities
Table 4-9 summarizes facilities* reporting of source reduction activity identification methods
for each of the 17 33/50 Program chemicals. Here again, facilities did not seem to treat Program
chemicals differently than other TRI chemicals in their search for source reduction opportunities,
although the data do show a somewhat greater reliance on assistance from federal programs, industry
associations, and vendors in the case of 33/50 Program chemicals compared to other TRI chemicals.
Facilities continue to report little reliance on state and Federal programs for assistance in
their source reduction endeavors. Interestingly, however, the number of pollution prevention audits
conducted by external parties increased while facilities' reliance on state and federal programs
decreased significantly for 33/50 Program chemicals between 1991 and 1992. Facilities* heavy
reliance on internal resources suggests that familiarity with facility-specific conditions is critical to
successful identification of source reduction opportunities. This may also explain the 10% increase
in facilities' use of employee's recommendations between 1991 and 1992.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: AN AGENDA FOR ACTION
The 33/50 Program faces an ambitious agenda in the coming years:
• Efforts to expand company participation will continue with initial invitations to be offered to
more than 1,000 new companies.
• Industry trade associations are being asked to assist EPA in convincing smaller companies to
participate.
• Case studies of companies' pollution reduction initiatives under the 33/50 Program are being
prepared and will be made available to the public.
• The 33/50 Program will co-sponsor a national conference showcasing the accomplishments
of voluntary pollution prevention programs and their company and community partners. The
conference, Promoting Pollution Prevention by Voluntary Initiatives, will be held June 1-3,
1994, in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.
• A formal 33/50 Program evaluation has been initiated to assess the Program's success. The
evaluation is being conducted under a cooperative agreement with INFORM, a citizen
environmental advocacy organization. Preliminary results will be made public at the
conference described above. Follow-up reports will be issued at least annually.

Linda Wunderlich, Environmental Assistance Division (202) 260-4075
Ql Why are these data collected?
A The Toxics Release Inventory is mandated by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
to-Know Act (EPCRA), signed by the President in October 1986. The law is based on the
premise that citizens have a right to know about chemicals in their communities. It has two
main purposes: to encourage planning for response to chemical accidents; and to provide the
public and the government information about possible chemical hazards in their communities.
The law also requires the establishment of State Emergency Response Commissions and Local
Emergency Planning Committees to collect detailed information from local facilities.

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
I
Section 313 of EPCRA requires certain manufacturers to report to EPA and to the states the
amounts of over 300 toxic chemicals and 20 chemical categories that they release directly to
air, water, or land; or inject underground; or transfer to off-site facilities. In addition, the law
specifies that the EPA must compile these reports into an annual inventory of releases and
transfers~the TRI —and make the inventory available to the public by computer
telecommunication and other means on a cost-reimbursable basis,
In October of 1990, the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) was passed by Congress. Section 6607
of the PPA requires, beginning with the 1991 reporting year, that TRI facilities include
information about their pollution prevention and waste management practices on their Toxic
Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form R submitted to EPA and the states. The
collection of these data will help track facilities' progress in reducing not only releases of toxic
chemicals to the environment, but also the quantities of the chemicals in other waste streams.
Q2 Who must report now?
A Manufacturing facilities (those in Standard Industrial Classification codes 20-39) with ten or
more employees are required to file toxic chemical release reports if they manufacture or
process more than 25,000 pounds of any of the reportable chemicals or otherwise use more
than 10,000 pounds of any reportable chemicals.
Q3 What is the compliance rate with this reporting requirement?
A EPA does not have any specific data on 1992 compliance with the law. However, a confi-
dential survey of facilities conducted in the summer of 1989 estimated compliance for 1987 to
be approximately 66% of facilities. That is, for every 100 facilities that should have filed a
Form R, approximately 66 did file at least one report. However, it is estimated by EPA staff
that the 66% of facilities that reported in 1987 represented substantially more than 66% of total
emissions and transfers. Furthermore, compliance activities appear to indicate a higher
compliance percent at this time.
The survey estimated that there were approximately 148,000 facilities in SIC codes 20-39 with
10 or more employees in 1987. Of those facilities, an estimated 29,800 met the chemical
thresholds and therefore were required to file at least one report in 1987. Of the 29,800
facilities that needed to report, only about 19,600 did file a report, leaving approximately
10,000 facilities out of compliance in 1987. This survey only identified facilities that failed to
file any reports at all. Additional facilities may have been out of compliance because they filed
for some but not all chemicals they needed to file for, or because their estimates were
inaccurate.

Q4 In the future, does EPA plain to widen the scope of sources required to report under
EPCRA section 313? ;
A EPA is in the process of identifying non-manufacturing industries associated with significant
chemical releases to determine their suitability for TRI reporting. A proposed rule adding
additional facilities is expected to be issued in late 1994.
Q5 Can releases of these chemicals be prevented?
A Much can be done to prevent the TRI chemicals from entering wastes and, thus, to reduce the
amount ultimately released to the environment. One effect of the national availability of data
on releases of toxic chemicals has been increased scrutiny by facilities, local communities, and
state and federal governments with an eye to reducing releases. The new TRI data will help in
tracking year-to-year trends in releases, waste management, and pollution prevention. All
reporting facilities must provide EPA with information on what, if any, source reduction
activities they implemented. Also, many states have established Pollution Prevention and
Toxics Use Reduction programs.
Currently, over 1,200 parent companies have signed on to the 33/50 Program, a voluntary
program with a national goal of a 33% reduction in releases and transfers of 17 TRI chemicals
by 1992 and a 50% reduction by 1995, using the 1988 data as a baseline. These facilities have
already either committed to plans to reduce releases of toxic chemicals over the next few years
or have implemented changes which will reduce their releases in future years.
EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics is leading an Agency-wide effort to promote
reduction in the quantity of wastes generated, not just by manufacturing industries, but by other
sectors of the economy as well.
For more information on EPA's pollution prevention initiatives, see Chapter 2, "Prevention and
Management of TRI Chemicals in Waste," and Chapter 4, "TRI Reporting Profiles for 33/50
Program Chemicals," in this document.
Q6 What caused the big decrease in ammonium sulfate (solution) releases to water and
discharges to POTWs between 1989 and 1990? '
A Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use ammonium sulfate (solution) were given
the option of reporting their releases and transfers either as ammonium sulfate (solution) or as
ammonia. Therefore many facilities filed reports for ammonia instead of ammonium sulfate in
1990. Every pound of ammonium sulfate decrease from these facilities is partially offset by an
increase of 0.27 pounds of ammonia, since ammonium sulfate is 27% ammonia and 73%
sulfate, by weight.
EPA believes that reporting releases of aqueous solutions of ammonium salts, such as ammo-
nium sulfate, as ammonia more properly represents the substance of concern. Ammonium
sulfate (solution) primarily affects water quality by the introduction of ammonia to a water
-------

i
body. EPA has low concern for sulfate as evidenced by its deletion of sodium sulfate (solu-
tion) from EPCRA section 313.
Q7 It has been said that making direct comparisons of the TRI releases and transfers across
years is difficult to do. Why?
A There are many factors that may affect cross-year comparisons of releases and transfers at the
state, local, chemical, or even facility-specific level. For example, the list of chemicals subject
to reporting has changed. Thresholds for reporting for manufacturers and processors have been
lowered from 75,000 pounds in 1987 to 50,000 pounds in 1988 to 25,000 pounds for 1989 and
beyond. These changes alter the number of facilities that are required to report as well as the
number of forms submitted to TRI. In addition, many other facility-dependent factors make
assessing releases and transfers across years difficult. Facilities may change their methods of
making estimates of their releases and transfers of toxic chemicals (hopefully, towards more
accurate estimates). Chemicals not subject to TRI reporting may be substituted for covered
chemicals. The amount of a chemical manufactured, processed, or used at a facility may be
drastically different from year to year. Facilities may change products or processes that may
affect which chemicals and how much of these chemicals are manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used. Production of a covered chemical may be up or down for a given year. These
factors and more make yearly comparisons difficult. This subject is discussed further in
Chapter 3 of this document.
Q8 Are the 1992 release data compared to the current 1991 release data or to the 1991 data
presented last spring?
A For purposes of comparison, EPA uses the current data for the 1991 reporting year, which
differ from the data presented last spring because of late submissions, revisions, and with-
drawals. Over time, the 1992 data will also change somewhat for the same reasons.
Q9 How much do changes hi estimation techniques used by facilities affect facilities' release
and transfer estimates?
A EPA conducted a study of a statistical sample of 1,200 facilities to assess the reasons for
changes in estimates from 1989 to 1990. Fifteen percent of the reports evaluated had
estimation method changes that accounted for at least part of the release estimate change. The
study found that 7% of the total increased quantity and 5% of the total decreased quantity, and
about 3% of net change in quantities were due to changes in measurement or estimation
techniques.
Q10 Why is there such variability in release and transfer quantities? Facilities in the same
business reported different numbers; are these differences real?
A There are many reasons for variability. For example, facilities in the same business may use
very different processes (e.g. 5 or 6 major pulping/papermaking processes exist in the U.S.)
and may have very different production levels or capacities (50 to 1,500 tons of paper per day).

One facility may treat waste on site, while a similar facility may transfer the same waste off-
site for treatment. Some facilities simply have more efficient production processes, resulting in
fewer releases and reduced waste. Even if two facilities generated the same quantity of waste,
their reported releases and transfers could be quite different. For example, differences in type
of pollution treatment controls and recycling practices utilized by facilities can lead to
differences in reported releases and transfers.
A large difference may come from the ability of individual facilities to accurately estimate
releases and transfers, which depends on the data and expertise available.
Qll What can I do to reduce TRI releases in my community?
A A first step in encouraging release reductions is developing a full picture of releases to your
community from the reporting facilities. Contact the facility or facilities and ask them for more
information on their TRI releases, pollution prevention, and worker safety programs. Because
of the new PPA data collected for the 1991 and 1992 years, Form R submissions can be used to
see if facilities in your community are implementing source reduction programs and to deter-
mine what effect the programs are having. Establishing and continuing a positive dialogue
with facilities on potential release reduction activities can promote risk reductions.
Discuss your concerns with local, state, and EPA officials, and encourage them to pursue
pollution prevention initiatives with these facilities. These officials have more information that
they can make available to you so you can develop a better understanding of environmental
situations where you live. Organize a neighborhood citizen organization, contact existing
public interest groups, and work together as a coalition to seek pollution prevention and risk
reduction.
These are just a few examples of some of the hundreds of ways the TRI could serve and has
served as a pollution prevention and release reduction tool. For more information on how TRI
has been used, see Appendix D.
Q12 Has EPA looked at TRI facilities and releases on Indian tribal lands?
A Yes. EPA cross-referenced tribal land boundaries with the 1989 TRI reports and found that
there were 303 facilities who reported being on or within three kilometers of tribal lands. The
total reported releases and transfers were 34.6 million pounds (0.6% of the total TRI releases
and transfers reported for 1989).
Q13 What is EPA's ability to actually measure the TRI chemicals in the environment?
A EPA has official methods for 146 of the 316 individually listed chemicals under EPCRA
section 313.

II. QUESTIONS ON THE FEDERAL FACILITIES EXECUTIVE ORDER
For more information:
Eileen Fesco, Environmental Assistance Division (202) 260-7232
Q1S Are Federal facilities required to report under section 313 of EPCRA?
A Government-owned and contractor-operated facilities (known as GOCOs) are currently
covered and do report to TRI. Government-owned and government-operated facilities
(GOGOs) have not been required to report by law, but some have reported voluntarily, and
others plan to report for the 1993 reporting year. For example, the Department of Energy will
voluntarily submit reports for the 1993 reporting year to EPA and the States for all their
facilities by July 1,1994.
On August 3,1993, the President signed Executive Order #12856, "Federal Facility
Compliance with Right-to-Know and Pollution Prevention Laws", requiring federal facilities
(GOGOs) to comply with the federal Right-to-Know laws. All federal facilities must report to
TRI beginning with reporting year 1994. The Executive Order also asks all federal facilities to
set a voluntary goal of 50% reduction of their releases and transfers for treatment and disposal
of toxic pollutants by 1999.
Q16 Does the reduction apply only to TRI toxic chemicals or all toxic chemicals?
A The toxic pollutant reduction program applies to the TRI chemicals used by the Federal
agency, but the agency may go beyond the TRI list and set a voluntary reduction goal for other
chemicals that they use.

Q17 Are all Federal agencies required to develop a pollution prevention strategy?
A The head of each Federal agency that has one or more facilities meeting EPCRA reporting •
requirements is responsible for the development of a written pollution prevention strategy. The
strategy is due to EPA by August 3, 1994. Once submitted these strategies will be available to
the public from EPA and from each individual agency.
Q18 How many Federal facilities are predicted to report in 1995?
A At this date, it is hard to predict how many federal facilities will file Form Rs in 1995. The
Executive Order required that Federal agencies send a list to EPA, by January 31,1994, of the
facilities they believe will be covered under all sections of the Order. Operating from this list,
EPA will soon be able to estimate the number of reports to expect. This list is available to the
public via EPA's Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse at (202) 260-1023.
Q19 Will EPA report to the public on the Federal agencies' progress toward meeting their
voluntary 50% reduction goals?
A EPA is to report annually to the President on the Federal agencies* progress toward reducing
their releases and transfers of toxic pollutants.
III. QUESTIONS ON THE TRI LIST OF CHEMICALS
For more information:
Maria Doa, Environmental Assistance Division (202) 260-9592
Q20 How was the list of chemicals subject to TRI reporting created?
A A list of chemicals subject to TRI reporting was given to EPA by Congress in EPCRA. The
statutory list was derived from separate lists from the states of New Jersey and Maryland. The
criteria for chemicals on the Maryland and New Jersey lists differ from the criteria established
under EPCRA section 313. For instance, the Maryland list is a survey list and consists of
chemicals that are noted for toxicity and/or high volume activities in that state. As a result of
these differences in listing criteria, a number of chemicals have been added to the TRI list that
were not on the original state lists. Also, a number of chemicals have been deleted from the
original TRI list of toxic chemicals because EPA determined that they did not meet any of the
criteria for listing. EPA has also added chemicals that have met the criteria for listing.
Under EPCRA section 313, anyone can petition EPA to add a chemical(s) to, or delete a
chemical(s) from the list of chemicals.
EPA has developed criteria and is currently refining the process for reviewing the TRI list of
chemicals. The result of this exercise will allow EPA to more effectively add chemicals to and

delete chemicals from the list. This will result in reporting on chemicals that meet the intent of
section 313.
Q21 What are the criteria for listing a chemical under section 313 of EPCRA?
A For a chemical or chemical category to be kept on or added to the TR1 list, it must be known to
cause or can reasonably be anticipated to cause one of the following:
• significant adverse acute health effects at concentration levels that are reasonably likely
to exist beyond facility boundaries as a result of continuous, or frequently recurring,
releases.
* in humans - cancer; teratogenic effects; or serious or irreversible reproductive dys-
function, neurological disorders, heritable genetic mutations, or other chronic health
effects.
• because of its toxicity, its toxicity and persistence in the environment, or its toxicity and
tendency to bioaccumulate in the environment, a significant adverse effect on the
environment of sufficient seriousness to warrant release reporting under EPCRA section
313.
Q22 What chemicals have been added to the TRI list?
A EPA added to the list nine chemicals that were subject to reporting for the 1990 reporting year.
These chemicals were added to the list for cancer and chronic toxicity concerns. These chemi-
cals are:
Allyl alcohol p-Dinitrobenzene
Creosote Dinitrotoluene (mixed isomers)
2,3-Diehloropropene Isosafrole
m-Dinitrobenzene Toluene diisocyanate (mixed isomers)
o-Dinitrobenzene
As a result of a petition submitted by three governors and the Natural Resources Defense
Council, EPA also added to the list seven chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons that were
subject to reporting beginning with the 1991 reporting year. These chemicals were added
because they are stratospheric ozone depleters. Depletion of stratospheric ozone can lead to
adverse human health and environmental effects. These chemicals are:
Bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211)
Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301)
Dibromotetrafluoroethane (Halon 2402)
Dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12)

In response to another petition, 11 hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were also added,
subject to reporting beginning with the 1994 reporting year (reports due by July 1, 1995).
These chemicals were added because they are listed as Class II ozone depleting substances in
section 602(b) of the Clean Air Act. These chemicals are:
Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22)
Dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123) and isomers
CWorotetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124) and isomers
1,1-Dichloro-l-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) and isomers
1 -Chloro-1,1 -difluoroethane (HCFC- 142b)
An additional 21 chemicals and two chemical categories which appear on the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) list of hazardous wastes were added to the TRI list.
Reporting for these chemicals will be required beginning with the 1994 reporting year (reports
due by July 1, 1995). These chemicals are:
Acetophenone Methacrylonitrile
Amitrole Methyl chlorocarbonate
Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane Methyl mercaptan
l,4-Diehloro-2-butene 2-Methylpyridine
Dihydrosafrole 5-Nitro-o-toluidine

Q23 What chemicals have been deleted from the TRI list?
A The following chemicals have been deleted from the TRI list:
Color Index (C.I.) Acid Blue 9 diammonium salt
C.I. Acid Blue 9 disodium salt
C.I. Pigment Blue 15 (a copper compound)
C.I. Pigment Green 7 (a copper compound)

EPA modified the listing for aluminum oxide to cover only fibrous forms of the chemical.
Q24 Is EPA planning to expand the number of chemicals covered by EPCRA section 313?
A On January 12,1994 EPA proposed rulemaking to add 313 chemicals to the TRI list, including
about 160 pesticides.
Q25 How were these proposed additional chemicals selected?
A EPA began with a pool of 1,031 chemicals regulated or identified as of concern under various
environmental statutes. In addition, EPA considered chemicals designated as possible,
probable, or known carcinogens in the Monographs of the International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) and the 6th annual Report on Carcinogens of the National Toxicology
Program (NTP), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
This list was narrowed by excluding those chemicals already on TRI, or proposed for addition
in response to a petition. The remaining chemicals underwent a toxicity screen using
numerical criteria guidelines and a production volume screen. This narrowed the list of
candidates to approximately 400 chemicals.
The candidates underwent a further hazard assessment, including a detailed review of the
toxicity of each to determine whether the chemical meets the statutory criteria for listing.
Q26 What is the status of EPCRA section 313 petitions to date?
A EPA has responded to and is currently working on many petitions to modify the EPCRA
section 313 list of toxic chemicals. The following is a summary of section 313 petition deci-
sions to date.

IV. POLLUTION PREVENTION QUESTIONS
For more information:
Anning Smith, Environmental Assistance Division (202) 260-1576
Q27 When will EPA publish the final Form R including the new PPA data elements?
A The information required by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA) and the guidance for
reporting that information have been discussed by the Toxics Data Reporting Subcommittee of
the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT).
NACEPT is an independent advisory council that provides advice and recommendations to
EPA on environmental issues. EPA is considering their ideas as it develops final guidance for
the requirements of the PPA. EPA anticipates publishing the guidance in late 1994 or early
1995. Industry will continue to use the Form R that was approved May 14,1992 until a new
form is issued.
Q2S The Form R expiration date says 11/92. Is the Form R valid or will it be changed for
reporting year 1993?
A November, 1992, was the expiration date given by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) when they approved the form on May 19,1992. However, the passage of the Pollution
Prevention Act Implementation provisions of the 1993 Appropriations Act allows the Agency
to continue to use this Form R until revisions are promulgated by law. Therefore, this Form R
is still valid and should be used for all submissions until a final Form R is promulgated, even
though the expiration date shown on the Form R has passed.
Q29 Why don't the totals reported for off-site transfers for energy recovery, recycling, and
treatment for one part of the Form R equal the quantities of chemicals reported for
energy recovery off-site, recycling off-site, and treatment off-site in another part? Do
these represent different quantities? Why are the data reported in two places on the
Form R?
A Differences in the data are often due to different interpretations by reporting facilities for the
quantities reported in different parts of Form R. In some cases, these different interpretations
are caused by unfamiliarity with the new data elements. One part of the Form R (section 8)
contains the aggregate quantities undergoing each type of on-site or off-site waste management
practice, as required by the PPA. Another part of Form R, Section 6.2, contains the same off-
site quantity, but is reported by off-site location and listed by specific type of each waste
management practice. The quantities are different if the faeility has reported accidental or one-
time releases not related to production. Quantities reported in Section 8 do not include such
quantities, while quantities reported in Section 6 do. If the facility has not reported any non-
production related releases, the quantities reported in Section 8 and Section 6 should be the
same. EPA will build on the experience gained from the 1991 and 1992 reports to develop
final guidance for reporting facilities.

Q30 How does the quantity released as reported in the "Source Reduction and Recycling
Activities" section (Section 8) of the Form R differ from the quantities reported in the
"Releases of the Toxic Chemical to the Environment On-Site" section (Section 5)?
A The quantity reported as released in Section 8 can differ from the total of the releases reported
in Section 5 in two basic ways. First, the quantity reported in Section 8 includes quantities sent
off-site for disposal, which are not reported in Section 5. Second, the quantity reported in
Section 8 should not include any quantities released to the environment because of
catastrophic, remedial, or one-time events that are non-routine (not associated with production
operations). Such quantities would be included as part of the total releases reported in Section
5.
Q31 Why are the off-site energy recovery, recycling, and treatment data characterized
differently from these same activities on-site?
A The difference in how the data are characterized is based on the level of knowledge the facility
has. For example, a facility is able to estimate the amount of the toxic chemical recovered by
on-site recycling processes because this activity is under their control. The facility is not likely
to know the amount recovered through a similar activity occurring off-site which is not under
their control. What the facility should know, however, is the quantity of the chemical sent off-
site for the purpose of recycling. This same difference in knowledge applies to on-site and off-
site energy recovery and treatment. The facility can estimate amounts combusted for energy
and destroyed through their treatment processes, but only know the amounts sent off-site for
the purpose of energy recovery and treatment.
Q32 Why are the quantities reported in the "Source Reduction and Recycling Activities"
section (Section 8) mutually exclusive of one another?
A These quantities are designed to add up to the total amount of the TRI chemical in wastes
(exclusive of catastrophic, remedial, or one-time non-production related releases). To accomp-
lish this, the individual quantities undergoing each type of waste management activity must be
mutually exclusive. Any double or multiple counting of an amount of the reported TRI chemi-
cal in waste will inflate the actual total. This also gives a more accurate picture of how the
toxic chemical in wastes is managed within the waste management hierarchy.
Q33 Why are catastrophic releases reported separately?
A The amounts reported as recycled, used for energy recovery, treated, and released in Section 8
identify the quantities of the toxic chemical in waste that should be subject to pollution
prevention efforts. The catastrophic releases are reported separately because they cannot be
predicted and are generally not amenable to pollution prevention efforts.
A-13
-------
Appendix A — Questions and Answers
I
Q34 Why are the recycling numbers so large?
A The recycling numbers are especially large in comparison with amounts of the toxic chemical
reported as being released to the environment. These new amounts are not unexpected,
however. Quantities recycled are likely to be much larger than release quantities because the
purpose of recycling is to recover the chemical for further use. Unlike the quantities released,
which leave the process, the recycled amounts return to the process again and again, and can be
estimated based on the total number of times an amount is recovered from wastes and returned
for further use.
Q35 How will EPA use the future years' estimates? What if actual estimates differ from the
projected estimates?
A EPA will use the future estimates data as indicators of future trends in waste management. The
future year estimates are projections, and do not represent a commitment or a quantity that the
facility must meet under penalty of enforcement.
Q36 What is the purpose of the production index?
A The production index is a ratio of production during the reporting year and production during
the prior year and is intended provide a potential indicator of progress in source reduction. It
also allows data users to assess the impact of business changes on changes in total waste
generated. By multiplying the sum of the waste quantities reported for the prior year by the
production index, a data user can estimate the amount of the toxic chemical that would have
been expected to enter wastes in the reporting year, given the change in production. Comparing
this expected quantity for the current reporting year to the sum of the actual quantities for the
current reporting year can yield an indication of whether source reduction is occurring. (See
analysis in Chapter 2 of this document.)
Q37 How is a chemical that is treated on-site and then disposed of reported in the "Source
Reduction and Recycling Activities" section (Section 8) of the Form R?
A The amount of a chemical destroyed in on-site treatment is the quantity reported as treated on-
site. Any amount not destroyed (the balance) is reported as the quantity "released" (including
transferred off-site for disposal).
Q38 Does EPA plan to review the quality of the new data reported on the Form R?
A EPA plans to institute computerized review of the new data, primarily to check potential data
discrepancies between different sections of the form.

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
Q39 Millions of pounds of various metals and metal compounds have been reported as
transferred to energy recovery. Can metal compounds be used for energy recovery?
A No. These reports were made in error. They may represent metal compounds in waste
solvents that were sent to an energy recovery unit. EPA's instructions cite metals as an
example of the type of chemicals that should not be reported as undergoing energy recovery
because they do not contribute to the heating value of the wastestream.
Q40 A large quantity of toluene was reported as burned off-site for energy recovery in 1992.
Does any of the toluene get released to the environment as a result of this?
A Energy recovery processes are not 100% efficient. Therefore, some small amount of the
toluene is likely to be released, either as un-combusted material or as fugitive releases from the
handling of the toluene-containing material prior to combustion.
Q41 What Is the difference between energy recovery and incineration?
A Both incineration and energy recovery involve combustion of a toxic chemical in a waste.
However, they have different purposes. Energy recovery is combustion occurring in a boiler,
kiln, or industrial furnace in which the heat from the combustion is used to generate steam or
heat other materials in a manufacturing process. Incineration is combustion with the primary
purpose being the destruction of the toxic chemical.
Q42 How are the 1991 and 1992 data elements collected by EPA different from those stated in
the PPA?
A Facilities do not report the "quantity entering any waste stream prior to recycling, treatment, or
disposal" as stated in the PPA. This number is derived by EPA by adding up the individual
quantities that were reported as released, used for energy recovery, treated, and recycled. This
total number is available in the public database for each chemical reported by a facility. Energy
recovery, not discussed in the PPA, has aspects of both recycling and waste treatment, and is
reported separately rather than included as part of the quantities reported as treated or recycled.
Instead of reporting the percent changes of quantities from the prior year and for the next two
years, the Form R collects the actual prior year quantity and the estimated two future years
quantities in pounds per year. Quantities treated, recycled, or undergoing energy recovery are
reported separately by whether they occur on-site or off-site.
Q43 Will 1993 TRI reporting be different from 1992 TRI reporting?
A The 1993 TRI reporting will use essentially the same Form R and instructions as was used for
the 1992 reporting.
A-15

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
Q44 What is the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) doing to reduce TRI
releases?
A OPPT is using TRI data to help target activities, chemicals, facilities, and industry categories
that are of high concern. The Pollution Prevention Policy Council's initiative, "Source Reduc-
tion Review Project," is one example where the TRI data were used as a screening tool to
identify a group of industrial categories as long-term targets of opportunity. As a part of this
project, OPPT is working with other program offices to incorporate prevention into their
programs, through regulation where feasible and through guidance and voluntary efforts.
OPPT is also working with industry (usually through trade associations) to raise awareness of
the benefits of pollution prevention. OPPT also conducts training programs that help orient
government and industry toward pollution prevention and incorporate prevention into what
they do. A state grants program is available to help states develop pollution prevention pro-
grams. OPPT and the Office of Research and Development have developed a clearinghouse
that provides information on pollution prevention for industry, government and public interest
groups to use in encouraging and implementing prevention.
Q45 The quantity of certain chemicals released (at a particular facility or nationwide) is
decreasing. What does this mean?
A The TRI database does not include specific explanations of the reasons for changes in
quantities reported by facilities. The new TRI data can give some indication of whether
changes are due to shifting of chemicals off-site for energy recovery or recycling, decrease in
economic activity or production levels, or source reduction. However, other factors may also
cause changes, such as substitution of one chemical (that may or may not be in TRI) for
another, changes in accounting or estimation techniques, and other reasons. A study completed
by OPPT examined how some of the above factors contributed to changes in releases and
transfers between 1989 and 1990. The study found that source reduction was a significant
factor in explaining some of the changes. However, fluctuations in production were more
frequently cited than changes due to source reduction for individual facilities' increases and
decreases. This is an important consideration because measuring progress in source reduction
must also take into account production changes.
Source reduction is too complex to be captured by only one measure. These new data collected
on Form R will help EPA better evaluate release trends and will also be critical in developing a
comprehensive understanding of the effects of pollution prevention activities. The data
provide EPA a more comprehensive view of waste management practices. They shift the focus
from releases to movement up the waste management hierarchy.

V. EXPOSURE AND HEALTH EFFECTS QUESTIONS
For more information:
Linda Rusak, Chemical Screening and Risk Assessment Division (202) 260-5273
Q46 How much of these chemicals am I exposed to?
A Estimating exposure based on release quantities requires an analysis of chemical and site-
specific characteristics. There is no simple conversion of release quantity to concentration in
the environment or dose received by individuals.
Natural environmental processes can: transform the chemical (e.g., sunlight decomposes some
chemicals); transfer it from one medium to another (e.g. water to air); or concentrate it (e.g.
bioaccumulation of the chemical in fish). Concentration in the environment can depend on the
volume of water in the receiving stream into which the chemical is released; dispersion of air
releases as a function of local meteorological conditions; the height from which the release
occurs; integrity of landfill liners or other containment of disposed materials; and many other
factors. Finally, your exposure to the chemicals will depend on factors such as distance from
the release, source and treatment of your drinking water supply, etc.
Q47 What are my chances of getting sick when I have been exposed to chemicals?
A The likelihood of becoming sick from chemicals is determined by the length of time someone
is exposed and the amount of chemical to which they are exposed, as well as the "inherent"
toxicity of the chemical. The risk is increased as the amount of exposure increases.
Q48 When are higher exposures more likely?
A Accidents can expose the facility's workers and surrounding community to higher concentra-
tions of the chemicals. Other conditions that increase risk of exposure include dust-releasing
operations (grinding, mixing, blasting, dumping, etc.), other physical and mechanical processes
(heating, pouring, spraying, spills, and evaporation from large surface areas such as open
containers), and "confined space" exposures (working inside vats, reactors, boilers, small
rooms, etc.). During process start-up and shutdown operations, there also is a greater likeli-
hood of exposure. The closer one is to a release, the greater the risk of exposure.
Q49 Is the risk of getting sick higher for workers in the facilities than for community
residents?
A Yes. Exposures in the community, except possibly in cases of fires or spills, are usually much
lower than those found in the workplace. However, people in the community may be exposed
to contaminated water as well as to chemicals in the air over long periods. Because of this, and
because of exposure of sensitive populations, such as children or people who are already ill,
community exposures may cause health problems.

QSO If I have acute (short-term) health effects, will these actually develop into chronic effects?
A Not always. Most chronic (long-term) effects result from repeated exposures to a chemical.
Although many acute effects are reversible, some exposures may also cause chronic health
effects.
Q51 Can I get long-term effects without ever having short-term effects?
A Yes, because long-term effects can occur from repeated or continuous exposures to a chemical
at levels not high enough to make you immediately sick,
QS2 Don't all chemicals cause cancer?
A No. Most chemicals tested by scientists do not cause cancer.
Q53 Should I be concerned if a chemical causes cancer in animals?
A Yes. Most scientists agree that a chemical that causes cancer in animals should be treated as a
suspected human carcinogen unless proven otherwise.
Q54 Should I be concerned if a chemical is a teratogen (a substance which causes fetal
malformations) in animals?
A Yes. Although some chemicals may affect humans differently than they affect animals,
damage to animals suggests that damage can occur in humans.
Q55 But don't they test animals using much higher levels of a chemical than people usually
are exposed to?
A Yes. That's so effects can be seen more clearly using fewer animals. But high doses alone
don't cause cancer unless the chemical is a cancer agent. In fact, a chemical that causes cancer
in animals at high doses could cause cancer in humans exposed to low doses, especially over
long periods of time.
Q56 Can men as well as women be affected by chemicals that cause reproductive system
damage?
A Yes. Some chemicals reduce potency or fertility in either men or women. Some damage
sperm and eggs, possibly leading to birth defects.
Q57 Aren't pregnant women at the greatest risk from reproductive hazards?
A Not necessarily. Pregnant women are at greatest risk from chemicals which harm the devel-
oping fetus. However, chemicals may affect the ability to have children, so both men and
women of child-bearing age are at higher risk.

Q58 What is the risk to public health resulting from toxic emissions to the air?
A While the TRI data represent a useful means of identifying potential air toxics sources, these
data are not sufficient to accurately determine the magnitude of the public health risk posed by
the emissions from a given facility. For example, TRI provides no information concerning the
potential exposure to these emissions. These data are most useful to point out the direction for
further analyses of public health risk. In addition to identifying new regulatory projects, the
data can be used to make priority decisions for the air toxics regulatory agenda.
Q59 Is there any difference between fugitive and stack air emissions when it conies to my
health?
A Dispersion of the chemical and its concentration at various distances from the point of release
are affected by whether, for example, the chemical is emitted from a tall stack at high tempera-
tures or a pipe fitting near the ground at ambient temperature. Thus, your exposure could vary
depending on the manner in which the release occurs. In general, a ground or near-ground
release, such as through fugitive emissions, will more likely result in a higher exposure and,
therefore, a greater possible health hazard for nearby residents than emissions from tall stacks.
Q60 Can my drinking water be contaminated by these toxic chemicals?
A Again, this depends on the amount and concentration released, characteristics at the site,
including the relationship of the release to the water supply, both surface and below ground,
the distance to where the drinking water intake/well is located, and treatment, if any, the water
receives before it is piped to your house.
Q61 Are the plants with the largest releases always the most important in terms of public
health?
A No. It is not possible to determine risks to public health strictly from knowing the amount of a
chemical which is released by a facility over a year. A release total is an important first step in
identifying a facility that may pose a public health hazard. Other factors that are necessary to
the risk assessment process include specific information on: the environmental medium of the
release, chemical toxicity and potency, local meteorological and topographical characteristics,
where people live and work (potential population exposure), and when and how releases occur.
Because some chemicals are more toxic than others, knowing only the quantity of chemicals
released to the environment is not sufficient to determine its importance with respect to risk.

Rhonda Norton, Office of Compliance Monitoring (202) 260-3724
Q62 How many inspections have EPA's Regional offices conducted in support of the Office of
Compliance Monitorlng's (OCM) EPCRA section 313 program?
A Since October 1988, our field offices have conducted approximately 4,064 inspections of
facilities subject to EPCRA section 313 reporting requirements. Of these, 784 were in the
1992 calendar year and 798 were in the 1993 calendar year,
Q63 How many civil complaints have been issued?
A EPA has issued approximately 832 civil complaints (almost aU of which are against non-
reporters) since October 1988.
Q64 What is the total amount of proposed penalties levied against EPCRA section 313
violators?
A EPA's Office of Compliance Monitoring has levied proposed penalties in excess of 40 million
dollars in the EPCRA section 313 program since October 1988.
Q65 What is EPA doing about Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs)?
A Supplemental Environmental Projects are projects that facilities may undertake, as part of the
settlement process, to protect or restore the environment through pollution prevention, waste
minimization, and/or decrease in the amount of natural resources used. Since Fiscal Year 1991
(when EPA began to track cases with SEPs), EPA has closed 152 civil complaint cases con-
taining one or more SEPs.
Q66 What is the EPCRA section 313 compliance and enforcement program doing about data
quality?
A Data quality is emerging as a second important focus for the EPCRA section 313 compliance
and enforcement programs, both at Headquarters and in the Regions. Now that the section 313
non-reporters compliance and enforcement program has matured, we are beginning to concen-
trate more on the quality of the TRI data submitted to EPA and the states. EPA and its regions
are using a variety of tools, from compliance assistance to issuing cases, in order to ensure
compliance with the regulations.

Q67 Without a final regulation in place, how is EPA enforcing the Pollution Prevention Act
reporting requirements?
A Submission of the data to EPA and the states is required by the Pollution Prevention Act as
mandated by Congress. EPA has issued 65 Notices of Noncompliance (NON) to facilities who
did not use the revised Form R to submit their data for the 1992 reporting year. These facilities
had previously been notified several times by EPA of the requirement to submit their
information on the revised Form R. Each of the EPA regional offices will receive a complete
listing of those facilities that have received a NON for not reporting on the revised Form R. In
accordance with the EPCRA Enforcement Response Policy, EPA may issue civil penalties
against those facilities that do not comply with the terms of the Notice of Noncompliance.
VII. 33/50 PROGRAM QUESTIONS
For more information:
Mike Burns, Environmental Assistance Division (202) 260-6394
Q68 How is the 33/50 Program related to the TRI program?
A In February 1991, the EPA Administrator announced the establishment of the 33/50 Program.
It is a voluntary TRI release reduction program that asks industries to work with EPA, the
environmental community, and the states to initiate or expand pollution prevention activities at
individual facilities. EPA is seeking a 33% reduction in TRI releases and off-site transfers for
treatment and disposal of 17 selected toxic chemicals and chemical categories by 1992, and a
50% or greater reduction by 1995. These reductions will be measured using the 1988 TRI data
as a baseline. EPA expects the public accountability fostered by TRI and the Pollution Preven-
tion Act to continue to play a vital role in persuading companies to take voluntary actions to
prevent pollution from toxic chemicals.
The 17 chemicals and chemical categories targeted for reductions are: benzene, cadmium and
compounds, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, chromium and compounds, cyanide and com-
pounds, dichloromethane, lead and compounds, mercury and compounds, methyl ethyl ketone,
methyl isobutyl ketone, nickel and compounds, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloro-
ethane, trichloroethylene, and xylenes. For further information, see Chapter 4, "TRI Reporting
for 33/50 Program Chemicals," of this document.

Vasu Kilara, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (919) 541 -5332
Al Rush, Office of Air and Radiation (202) 260-6002
Q69 What legal tools are available to the Agency to reduce toxic air emissions?
A Title ffl of the amended Clean Air Act (CAA) is the primary regulatory tool by which EPA will
control emissions of air toxics. Under section 112(d), EPA must issue regulations requiring the
maximum degree of reduction in emissions that is achievable. After the application of the
maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards, section 112(f) states that EPA
must issue additional standards within 8 years if necessary to further protect the public.
Also, EPA has authority to abate "imminent and substantial endangerment" to public health
under several statutes. In particular, section 303 of the CAA and section 106 of Compre-
hensive Emergency Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) provide that EPA
can issue administrative orders or seek injunctive relief in court to address such hazards. Any
facility-specific enforcement action would typically be preceded by a detailed facility-specific
analysis of emissions and risk. EPA would consider use of these authorities to reduce emis-
sions from facilities that pose high risks due to toxic air pollutants.
Q70 How much of the 1.8 billion pounds of toxic chemicals emitted to the air is addressed by
the air toxics section of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments?
A The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) address over 1.3 billion pounds of the 1.8
billion pounds of toxic chemicals reported to the TRI for 1992. The remaining 500 million
pounds of toxic chemicals are subject to control under Title I of the CAA as volatile organic
compounds under the ambient air standard for ozone, or are subject to the particulate matter
ambient air standard.
Q71 When will the EPA promulgate regulations to reduce these emissions?
A In accordance with the CAA, EPA published on July 16,1992 the final list of categories of
sources to be regulated (57 FR 31576). The proposed schedule for regulation was published by
EPA on September 24,1992 in the Federal Register (57 FR 44147). A final regulation for
Hazardous Organic National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (HON) for the
synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry was published on February 28,1994. The
HON will have far-reaching effects because it requires reductions of up to 110 hazardous air
pollutants. The requirement will result in substantial reductions in emissions from the affected
facilities.

Q72 Why are some of the 189 hazardous air pollutants listed in the amendments to the Clean
Air Act not included in the TRI?
A There are currently 14 chemicals listed as hazardous air pollutants in the new CAA that are not
listed on EPCRA section 313. Nine of the 14 were proposed for addition on January 12,1994
as part of the Agency's proposed expansion of the TRI chemical list. A list of the 14 chemicals
follows. The chemicals marked with a "*" were not included in the proposal.
Caprolactam
* Coke Oven Emissions
* p,p'-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE)
Dimethyl formamide
Hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate
Hexane
Isophorone
Mineral fibers
Phosphine
Polycyclic Organic Matter (polycyclic aromatic compounds)
* Radionuclides (including radon)
* 2,3,7,8-Tetraehlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
Triethylamine
* 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane
There are various reasons why the remaining hazardous air pollutants were not proposed for
addition to EPCRA section 313. Two examples follow: 1) Coke oven emissions is a process
category. It consists of a mixture of various chemicals that are individually listed on EPCRA
section 313 or are being proposed for addition to EPCRA section 313, i.e. polycyclic aromatic
compounds. EPA believes that for the purposes of the Toxic Release Inventory coke oven
emissions are more appropriately covered by listing the constituents rather than the process
category. 2) Other chemicals such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin are not produced in
quantities that will meet or exceed the EPCRA section 313 reporting thresholds. Listing this
type of chemical would not result in the submission of TRI reports.

Q73 How will EPA regulate TRI chemicals with large quantities of air emissions?
A Listed below are the 10 chemicals wifli the greatest total reported air emissions in TRI for 1992
(see Table 1-23), and the authority by which they will be regulated under the Clean Air Act
Amendments.
Regulated under
Chemical Clean Air Act Amendment
Acetone Title I
Ammonia Title ffl, section 112(r)
Carbon disulfide Title I and Title ffl, section 112(b)
Dichloromethane Title m, section 112(b)
Hydrochloric acid Title in, section 112(b)
Methanol Title I and Title HI, section 112(b)
Methyl ethyl ketone Title I and Title HI, section 112(b)
Toluene Title I and Title HI, section 112(b)
1,1,1 -Trichloroethane Title VI and Title m, section 112(b)
Xylene Title I and Title IE, section 112(b)
Title I of the CAAA covers emission reduction programs for volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) to meet ambient air quality standards. These programs are controlled to some extent
by state and/or local governments. Six of the 10 TRI chemicals listed above are considered
VOCs that participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions to produce ozone, a regulated
ambient air pollutant.
Title HI, section 112(b) of the CAAA, lists hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that EPA is
required to regulate by source categories. Eight of the 10 TRI chemicals listed above are
considered CAAA HAPs. EPA's approach will lead to the early regulation of source cate-
gories that emit one or more of the HAPS. Therefore, significant reductions of all of the HAPS
emitted by an industrial plant will be achieved rather than reduction of just one specific
pollutant. For example, the HAPS (also referred to as air toxics) will be regulated under one of
the first emission standards to be promulgated under the CAAA. The Hazardous Organic
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants will affect many sources of toxic
emissions, such as process vents, equipment leaks, and storage tanks at chemical
manufacturing plants, and will address the emissions of over 110 of the pollutants listed in
section 112 of Tide IH. Hydrochloric acid emissions will be regulated by Maximum Available
Control Technology (MACT) standards covering other source categories.
Title in, Section 112(r) of the CAAA, requires EPA to develop risk management planning
(RMP) regulations to help prevent accidental releases of at least 100 substances. In January
1994, EPA promulgated a final list consisting of 140 toxic and flammable substances, as well
as Division 1.1 explosives, which will be subject to the requirements in the RMP rulemaking.
Facilities producing, handling, or storing threshold quantities of listed substances, including
chlorine and ammonia, will be required to undertake a risk management program and develop

risk management plans available to the public. The program must include a hazard assessment,
prevention program, and emergency response program. EPA published a proposed RMP rule
in October 1993.
In addition to the other air pollutant regulations, section 604 of Title VI mandates restrictions
of ozone-depleting chemicals. On December 10,1993, EPA published a final rule (58 FR
65018) that phases-out the production of ozone-depleting chemicals, including Freon 113 and
1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), by January 1, 1996, due to their ozone-depleting
potential. The effective date of this rule is January 1,1994.
IX. WATER QUESTIONS
For more information:
Arnold Kuzmak, Office of Water (202) 260-5821
Q74 Why did water releases increase so much since 1991?
A Total releases of the TRI chemicals to water in 1992 increased by almost 30 million pounds,
approximately 12.2%, compared to the 1991 releases. Almost all of the increase is attributable
to phosphoric acid release increases totaling 44.3 million pounds from four fertilizer plants
(three in Louisiana and one in Texas). These releases were due to gypsum stack storm water
runoff that could not be recycled by the facilities, and one accidental release which is a one
time occurrence. If phosphoric acid releases from these facilities are factored out of the
national totals, other TRI water releases actually decreased by 11.5%, or almost 15 million
pounds, from 1991 to 1992.
Q75 How do the water releases compare from 1991 to 1992 for specific chemicals?
A The top 15 chemicals released to water account for over 98% of the total water releases. Four
of these chemicals, phosphoric acid, chlorine, manganese compounds, and 1,4-dioxane,
showed increases of 39%, 66%, 40%, and 64%, respectively. Increases of phosphoric acid are
discussed in Q74 above. Increases of chemicals other than phosphoric acid could be due to a
number of factors, including a change in business activity (change in production) or more
accurate discharge estimates by the reporting facilities.
Of the top 15 chemicals released to water, the following chemicals showed a decrease: sulfuric
acid (-12%), methanol (-18%), ammonium sulfate (solution) (-42%), ammonium nitrate
(solution) (-13%), ethylene glycol (-43%), ammonia (-1%), zinc compounds (-24%),
hydrochloric acid (-10%), acetone (-16%), formaldehyde (-30%), and chloroform (-14%).
Chromium compounds, listed as the chemical with the 15th largest total releases to water in
1990, decreased 20% between 1991 and 1992. Chloroform and chromium compounds are both
chemicals targeted for release reduction by EPA's 33/50 program.

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
Q76 What are the water quality impacts and toxicity concerns for the TRI chemicals with the
largest surface water releases?
A TRI reports 216 chemicals discharged directly into the water environment. Over 95% (by
weight) of these discharges consist of eight chemicals.
Three of these chemicals (phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid) affect water
quality primarily by altering the pH of the water body, a chemical parameter EPA already
regulates for industrial and municipal discharges to water.
Three other chemicals (ammonium sulfate, ammonia, and ammonium nitrate) primarily affect
water quality by the introduction of ammonia to the water body. EPA has issued water quality
criteria for ammonia. For several years, EPA has required states to pay special attention to
them when developing water quality standards and regulatory control strategies. EPA also
regulates the oxygen demand from ammonia and the nutrient impact of all three ammonia
chemicals.
Methanol is a semi-volatile chemical that biodegrades readily and is only toxic at moderately
high levels.
Ethylene glycol is essentially antifreeze. Ethylene glycol is not a priority pollutant, and we do
not have water quality criteria for this chemical. It is moderately toxic to aquatic organisms at
high levels.
EPA will examine the remaining 208 chemicals to see if their toxicity or if the characteristics
of the receiving waters require short-term or long-term attention. The environmental impact of
these discharges is much more dependent on the toxicity of the chemicals and on the physical,
chemical, and biological characteristics of the receiving waters than simply on the weight of
these chemicals.
Q77 How does EPA (or the states) regulate EPCRA section 313 chemicals discharged to
water?
A Under section 301 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), the discharge of any pollutant by any
person is unlawful unless it is in compliance with the provision of the Act, This provision is
implemented by EPA and the states through the development of effluent guidelines, the adop-
tion of water quality standards, and the issuance of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit. Pursuant to Congressional directive, these programs have focused on
a subset of toxic pollutants of greatest concern. There are 126 such toxic chemicals; they are
known as "priority pollutants." This list includes 94 of the TRI chemicals. States are in the
process of adopting water quality standards for those priority pollutants that could reasonably
be expected to interfere with water quality. The states and EPA then use standards, together
with best available treatment guidelines, to set enforceable permit limits on the amounts of
these and other toxic pollutants that cities and industries are allowed to discharge to waters of
the United States.
A-26
-------
Appendix A — Questions and Answers
While many of TRI chemicals with the largest surface water discharges are controlled, a
number of the small-volume chemicals with high toxicity levels are not fully regulated. EPA
will continue to work with the states to ensure that all appropriate standards and permits are
adopted. EPA is also preparing to issue Federal water quality standards if states do not adopt
standards as Congress has directed. In addition, states and EPA regulate the overall toxicity of
effluents with permit limits that rely upon biological toxicity tests; these limits serve, in part, to
control the discharge of those TRI chemicals for which there are no state water quality
standards.
Q78 Which of the TRI chemicals are covered by water quality criteria? What are your plans
to develop water quality criteria for chemicals that are on the EPCRA section 313 list, but
for which criteria have not been developed?
A EPA has published aquatic life and/or human health protective ambient water quality criteria
for 80 of the TRI chemicals. There is a current capability to develop four to six aquatic life
protective water quality criteria a year. Obviously, at this level of effort, it would take us many
years to complete criteria for all of the chemicals on the TRI list.
Because criteria and advisory development is a multi-year process, EPA is careful to set
priorities before we begin work. First, EPA collects a variety of toxicology and exposure
information on chemicals we are considering for criteria or advisories. Then, EPA ranks the
pollutants. Finally, EPA meets with other affected offices to obtain their views before making
a final selection of chemicals for criteria and advisory development. TRI data will play a major
role in setting these priorities.
Once EPA issues a criteria document for a chemical, the next step is for states to adopt them as
water quality standards under state law. Those standards are then used to derive enforceable
NPDES permit limits for specific direct discharging facilities.
Q79 Are the TRI chemicals covered by the state water quality standards? If not, why not?
A A number of the TRI chemicals are covered by state water quality standards. Recently, under
the CWA, our emphasis on adoption and revision of chemicals in state water quality standards
has been on the subset of TRI chemicals appearing on the CWA section 307(a)(l) list. This is
a list of 126 pollutants that Congress has identified for priority attention in EPA's water
program. The emphasis on this list for state standards stems from the mandate in the 1987
CWA amendments that EPA ensure that these chemicals, in particular, are covered in state
water quality standards.
The Agency is very concerned with any pollution sources causing problems with human health
or with aquatic life. EPA will review the TRI data, particularly in the context of the pollutant
ranking described above, and intends to move aggressively in the water quality standards area
for unregulated pollutants. *

Appendix A — Questions and Answers

Q80 EPA has completed its review of the state assessments under Section 304(1) of the CWA,
which reported the names and locations of water bodies in the United States that are not
in attainment with water quality standards. Separate lists have been prepared for waters
impacted by any pollutants and for waters and point sources where water quality is
entirely or substantially impacted due to priority pollutants from point sources. Were the
TRI data used in these assessments?
A States may have used similar types of information in generating their lists, but the actual TRI
data submitted to EPA were not available to them at the time they did their assessments.
Q81 Were the TRI data used in EPA's review of the states' lists developed under Section <
304Q)?
A Yes, to some degree. Under the statute, EPA had until June 4,1990, to approve or disapprove
the state lists. At a minimum, the list of facilities submitted by states and planned EPA
additions to these lists were reviewed against the list of facilities identified in the TRI as
discharging significant amounts of priority pollutants.
Q82 Will future state assessments of waters under Section 304(1) use TRI data?
A Yes. EPA will continue to review updates to state lists against the current and subsequent TRI
submittals.
Q83 What are the difficulties in resolving any differences between the 304(1) lists submitted by
the states and the TRI data?
A Each facility reporting to TRI shows that a significant release of toxics will need a separate
review to determine if its receiving water should be included on future state lists of waters not
meeting water quality standards. Although EPA expects the state lists to be generally
consistent with the TRI data, in some cases, the TRI data include loadings from spills and other
releases not regulated by permits. There are also some cases where states did not list waters on
the section 304(1) lists due to a lack of discharge or ambient data for some toxics. In such
cases, EPA and the states will, over time, fill any data gaps by collecting (and/or having
dischargers collect) additional effluent and ambient data. In some cases, this may also require
permitting of previously unpermitted discharges.
Q84 The Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances has prepared information on
the industrial categories that are responsible for the majority of the discharges of the TRI
chemicals. What is the process for deciding whether to revise effluent guidelines or to
develop new effluent guidelines to reflect the TRI information?
A EPA is required to publish a biennial effluent guidelines plan under section 304(m) of the
CWA. The purpose of the plan is to identify those industrial categories for which effluent
limitations and standards should be developed or revised. Plans were published in 1990 and
1992. The choice of industries to be regulated is based on a number of factors, including TRI

data. A Task Force is currently advising EPA on how to improve the process for selection of
additional industries, and this may lead to a greater reliance on TRI data.
Q85 How will the EPA use TRI to implement the Public Water Supply Supervision Program
of the Safe Drinking Water Act?
A The Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water will use the TRI data in a variety of ways to
identify potential contaminants in specific geographic areas.
• In particular, these data could be source data for vulnerability assessments to determine
frequency of monitoring by public water systems.
• The Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water could review chemicals reported in the
TRI database for identifying candidates for future maximum contaminant level
developments.
• The Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water compares hazardous waste injection
data with TRI data to identify and match those contaminants released.
Q86 How will EPA use the TRI data to improve the management of the permit program?
A EPA will investigate the feasibility of EPA Headquarters and Regions and states using TRI
data to determine whether permits issued to some or all of these facilities control contaminants
listed as releases in TRI reports.
The Office of Wastewater Enforcement and Compliance (OWEC) used TRI data to begin to
identify new undetected significant industrial users discharging to POTWs, and to identify
illegal unpermitted discharges.
OWEC used data to identify discharges by industrial users to POTWs to determine whether
additional NPDES permit limits are needed.
OWEC, EPA regional offices, and states will use the data for geographic and national planning
and targeting of activities to high priority areas (i.e., near coastal areas, wetlands) and to target
inspections to suspected violators that could lead to permit modification, new or revised limits
when the permit is reissued, or an enforcement action.

X. UNDERGROUND INJECTION QUESTIONS
For more information:
Robert Smith, Office of Water (202) 260-5559
Q87 How are the TRI data used in the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program of the
Safe Drinking Water Act?
A EPA and the implementing states verify the accuracy of TRI-reported underground injection
operations to determine if these operations are properly authorized and in compliance with the
program's requirements.
Q88 What does a TRI injection discharge listing mean to an area's ground water resources?
A A listing for any particular facility may, depending on well classification and operating status,
pose a threat to underground sources of drinking water. For that reason, each underground
injection listing in the TRI database is checked against authorized facilities. If not properly
authorized, the operation would be subject to state or EPA enforcement action. If authorized,
the operation would be subject to a compliance review on prescribed schedule.
Q89 What do the TRI data show as underground injection operations?
A Generally, the largest number of facilities are injecting waste into Class I wells, which are
industrial or municipal disposal wells injecting waste below the lowermost underground
sources of drinking water. When constructed and operated in compliance with program
requirements, these wells are expressly designed to prevent the movement of formation and
disposed fluids into protected aquifers. Other facilities may be injecting waste into Class V
wells which are important because they may be directly discharging into aquifers protected by
the program and are a high priority for inspection and enforcement follow-up. EPA bans
injection of hazardous waste at or above underground sources of drinking water.
Q90 Does EPA have any estimation of what percentage of the TRI releases to underground
injection wells are going to Class I (deep underground injection or industrial or
municipal wastes) wells?
A The current TRI Form R does not differentiate between underground injection releases by well
type. Other UIC volume data reported by the states and the Regions indicate that the major
percentage of TRI releases are from Class I industrial (non-hazardous) and Class I hazardous
injection wells.
Q91 How are Class I injection wells monitored to ensure against any toxic releases to the
environment?
A All Class I wells are rigorously monitored to prevent any loss of injected fluids emplaced in the
receiving geologic formations. Class I wells must be properly sited and adequately cased and

cemented to protect underground sources of drinking water and isolate the injection zone; the
well casing, tubing, and annular seal must be tested for mechanical integrity; a test for any fluid
movement along the borehole must be run at least every five years, and the operator must
identify all wells within a specified distance from the injection well bore to assure that all
abandoned wells are properly plugged so that there is no potential for fluid movement by these
paths.
Q92 Have any Class I wells released fluids to underground sources of drinking water
(USDWs); and, if so, were these wells adequately repaired?
A Instances of contamination of underground sources of drinking water by Class I wells have
been rare. EPA and the states have identified only two cases where hazardous injected wastes
contaminated underground sources of drinking water (USDWs), and one case where a Class I
well was suspected of causing contamination. All three cases occurred prior to the
implementation of a state or Federal UIC program. EPA also identified eight cases where
leakage from Class I hazardous wells entered non-USDW formations. These leaks were minor
in nature and immediately adjacent to the well bore. All of these cases were addressed by
either repairing the wells, or properly plugging and abandoning operations.

Q93 How can a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and the community use the
TRI data?
A First, LEPCs can use the TRI data for emergency planning for response to chemical accidents.
Specifically, they can use TRI data, along with reports on chemical accidents, as a risk screen-
ing tool around manufacturing facilities. The LEPCs receive notifications of accidental
releases under EPCRA section 304. They can compare the data received under section 304 to
the TRI data to help screen the risks posed by manufacturing facilities in their community.
More broadly, reviewing this information along with chemical inventory information submitted
by facilities under sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA can enable communities and LEPCs to
obtain a "chemical profile" of their community for use in planning for response to chemical
accidents.
Second, the chemical profile now possible with information from EPCRA can be used to
examine community-wide risks and be used in a variety of strategies to reduce those risks.
Additionally, the LEPCs can use the TRI data in conjunction with the Material Safety Data
Sheets available under EPCRA and other information to respond to community requests for
information under the right-to-know provisions under EPCRA.

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
Q94 What role do TRI data play in chemical accident prevention?
A TRI data are used to support two activities related to chemical accident prevention:
• TRI data are used to identity chemical-handling facilities that could benefit from informa-
tion on chemical process safety for preventing accidental chemical releases.
* TRI data are used as one source of background material in learning more about facility
activities. For example, these data can assist a team in preparing for a chemical safety
audit at a particular chemical-handling facility.
Q95 Are the TRI chemicals regulated under the provisions of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)?
A Approximately 236 of the 316 individually listed TRI chemicals are also CERCLA hazardous
substances. TRI chemicals that are also CERCLA hazardous substances are subject to all of
the requirements of CERCLA, as amended, such as reporting, liability, financial responsibility,
clean-up, and penalties.
Q96 How are the EPCRA section 313 reporting requirements similar to CERCLA reporting
requirements?
A There are few similarities between the reporting requirements of EPCRA section 313 and those
of CERCLA section 103. Section 313 requires the owner or operator of a facility where a toxic
chemical is manufactured, processed, or otherwise used to submit a toxic chemical release form
to the EPA when the quantity of the toxic chemical exceeds the threshold quantity established
by section 313(f) of EPCRA.
The reporting requirements of section 103 of CERCLA require any person in charge of a vessel
or facility to report the release of a hazardous substance into the environment, in a quantity
equal to or greater than its reportable quantity, to the National Response Center. The purpose
of reporting under CERCLA section 103 is to allow the Federal government to assess each
reported release to determine if a response action is warranted.
In addition, EPCRA section 304 requires reporting of these releases to state and local
authorities.
Q97 How many TRI chemicals are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act(RCRA)?
A Approximately two-thirds of the 316 individually listed TRI chemicals are regulated under
RCRA. An additional 21 chemicals and 2 chemical categories subject to RCRA were recently
added to the TRI list (see Q22). More detailed information is contained in the TRI Chemical
Regulatory Matrix in Appendix E of this document.
A-S2
-------
Appendix A — Questions and Answers
I
TO
Forty of the individually listed TRI chemicals are currently used to identify a waste as a
characteristic hazardous waste. When such chemicals are found in the waste above specified
levels, the waste is subject to RCRA regulation.
In addition, 153 of the individually listed TRI chemicals are also listed as hazardous wastes
when they are unused, or discarded commercial chemical products.
Q98 Are all land releases reported under TRI regulated under RCRA?
A Some land releases may be accidental releases or chemicals in wastes that are not regulated by
RCRA. Most of the land releases reported to TRI fall under one of the following categories:
on-site disposal of hazardous wastes which are regulated under RCRA or authorized state
hazardous waste programs; and industrial solid waste or waste from mining and mineral
processing activities that would be regulated under state solid waste management programs
insofar as they do exist. Some mineral processing wastes are regulated as hazardous wastes.
Under EPCRA section 313, facilities that manufactured or processed 25,000 pounds or used
10,000 pounds of a listed chemical must report. Under RCRA, only those facilities that
generate more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of hazardous waste per month must report.
Q99 Can you make direct comparisons between TRI data and data in the RCRA program for
amounts of hazardous waste generated, waste minimization, etc,?
A It is difficult to make comparisons for several reasons:
TRI reports individual chemical constituent data; RCRA requires reporting on a total waste
stream that represents a substantially larger volume than any single chemical contained in the
wastestream. A RCRA hazardous waste stream may or may not contain TRI chemicals.
TRI reports toxic chemicals released to air, land, water; data collected in the RCRA program
report hazardous waste generation and management in regulated land disposal, incineration,
storage, or treatment units.
RCRA also distinguishes between regulated and exempt wastes, A particular TRI chemical
may occur in a waste that is exempt and need not be reported under RCRA. For example,
certain wastewater treatment activities are exempt from RCRA, as are small quantity
generators who generate less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste.
Currently, only facilities in SIC codes 20-39 are required to report to TRI; RCRA is not limited
by SIC code.
Under RCRA, hazardous waste generators are required to report on existing or planned waste
minimization activities at facilities on a biennial basis. The current reporting forms request
information on reduction of the volume of waste generated. These data differ from TRI data in
that they represent specific RCRA waste streams rather than individual chemical constituents.
A-33

Appendix A — Questions and Answers
EPA's Office of Solid Waste is exploring approaches to refine the utility of the waste
minimization data collected through the biennial reporting system and to coordinate the results
with TRI data.
The biennial report does request the CAS number of TRI chemicals that are contained in
RCRA wastestreams, to facilitate a link between the two data sources.
Q100 How many facilities are regulated by the RCRA program and what is the overlap with
facilities that report for TRI?
A Under Subtitle C, RCRA regulates about 4,850 Treatment, Storage, Incineration, and Land
Disposal facilities, including: 1500 land disposal facilities; 350 incinerators; 3000 storage/
treatment facilities. RCRA also regulates more than 200,000 large and small quantity
generators and about 18,000 transporters. These sites and facilities are listed in the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS) and may be cross-checked with TRI
facilities by EPA ID number.
Of the 200,000 large and small quantity generators that are regulated under Subtitle C of
RCRA, approximately 17,000 of the large quantity generators (LQGs) report to RCRA's
biennial reporting system. Approximately 10,000 of these LQGs fall within SIC codes 20 to
39, and, of these, approximately 7,000 sites report for TRI.
Q101 How are TRI releases of hazardous wastes regulated?
A Hazardous wastes must be stored, treated, or disposed in hazardous waste management units
regulated under the RCRA or under authorized state laws. Hazardous waste land disposal
units, including landfills, land treatment, surface impoundments, and waste piles, must meet
applicable design and operating controls, such as liners and leak detection systems and ground
water monitoring systems to detect releases out of the unit. All facilities that store, treat, or
dispose of hazardous wastes are subject to corrective action requirements to clean up hazardous
wastes or hazardous constituents that migrate from any waste management unit at the facility.

APPENDIX B
PUBLIC ACCESS TO TRI
EPA continues to add new avenues of public access to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).
Every year, EPA expands its outreach activities to new potential users of the data. Through its
outreach activities, EPA identifies and engages the assistance of new organizations to help promote
TRI awareness, provide access, and increase usage of the data. Since the TRI is only as valuable as
the number of people who use the information, EPA hopes that these organizations will acquaint
new users with TRI, help people who already know about TRI to better utilize or understand the data
and, when possible, provide information on how to improve TRI products and services. Organiza-
tions such as libraries, journalists, national public interest and environmental groups and states
remain key outreach participants.
Accessing TRI is easy. EPA offers the data in a variety of common computer and hard copy
formats to ensure that everyone can easily use the information. Over 4,000 libraries have TRI in
their collection. TRI is available on diskette, CD-ROM, magnetic tape and computer bulletin
boards. It is available on an online national computer database. TRI reports are available from the
states and from EPA. Many states make their data available before EPA completes the national
database. You can contact your state EPCRA Coordinator or you can call your EPA Regional TRI
Coordinator for assistance. (See listing of regional coordinators and state EPCRA contacts in
Appendix G.) The many other routes for accessing TRI are provided below.
TRI has proven to be a rich source of data for a broad-based public audience. For instance,
educators are using the data to conduct studies and courses on the environment; labor unions are
using the TRI data to improve conditions for workers; and businesses are using the data in many
ways — as a basis for reducing large stocks of toxic chemicals, to cut costs, to improve operations,
to reduce the use of toxic chemicals and for a variety of other reasons. Concerned citizens are a
growing user group of TRI data. These individuals, on their own and through organized groups, are
using TRI to raise and answer questions about chemical releases in their communities.
Looking forward, avenues of public access to TRI will continue to grow and the TRI will
continue to be an important first step for discovering which chemicals are being manufactured,
released, or transferred into communities across the country. The diversity of the groups across the
country who use TRI will also increase as will the varied uses of the data. TRI will increasingly
become the data source used to positively influence the views of companies, legislators and the
public regarding the overall conditions of the nation's environment.

APPENDIX C
TRI DATA QUALITY PROGRAM
The goals of EPA's data quality program for TRI are to: (1) identify and assist facilities that
must report so that data submitted will be of the highest quality; (2) insure high quality data entry;
(3) correct and normalize as much of the submitted data as possible in order to maximize the utility
of the data; (4) accurately assess the relative validity of release estimates and other data, and
(5) ensure completeness of the database with compliance and enforcement measures.
IDENTIFICATION AND ASSISTANCE TO FACILITIES
Through mass mailings to all facilities within the manufacturing sector of the economy, work
with a wide variety of trade associations, local and national seminars, training courses, and
enforcement activities, EPA has endeavored to locate all facilities required to report under section
313 of EPCRA and inform them of their obligations. In addition, EPA has prepared various
materials to assist facilities in complying with EPCRA. These include detailed reporting
instructions, a question-and-answer document, magnetic media reporting instructions, general
technical guidance and 16 industry-specific guidance documents. In addition, EPA maintains a toll-
free hotline to answer regulatory and technical questions to assist facilities.
DATA ENTRY QUALITY ACTIVITIES
EPA continues to place a high emphasis on data entry accuracy within the Toxics Release
Inventory Database. EPA's internal review of 3% of the records showed a data entry accuracy rate
of over 99%, This is up from a 1987 reporting year rate of 97.5%. EPA continued the computerized
edit checks at the point of data entry, including a high percent of verification and formalization of
data reconciliation activities. EPA mailed copies of the release and transfer estimates to all reporting
facilities to allow them to verify the entered data. EPA also received 35% of the 1992 submissions
from facilities reporting on magnetic media, which ensures against data entry errors. This compares
to 12% magnetic media submissions for 1991. EPA is continuing to encourage the use of magnetic
media by all submitters.

CORRECTION AND NORMALIZATION OF DATA
Because Congress has required that EPA make the TRI data available to the public through
computer telecommunications, EPA has found it necessary to undertake a variety of activities to
make the data more usable. This is due to the fact that computers only retrieve data in exactly the
format as requested (e.g., if asked for "Los Angeles," the computer will not be able to identify
facilities listed under "LA"), and facilities report their data in a wide variety of ways. As a result,
EPA has taken steps to use a consistent name for all counties, used a variety of nomenclature
standards for names within the database (to ensure, for example, that all filings for a particular
company can readily be identified), added latitude and longitude representing the center of the zip
code area in which the facility is found, and has taken other steps to assist in the utilization of the
data.
EPA generates a facility identification number at the time of data entry. Linkage between all
years of reports has been made to the best of EPA's ability. This allows easy retrieval of cross-year
data, even when a facility is sold or changes its name. The identification number has been sent to all
facilities. Facilities are required to use this number on all future Form R reports submitted to the
Agency. Use of this number facilitates data quality and cross-year analysis.
In 1993, EPA provided all states with a facility listing to verify that both the state and Federal
government received the same data. States which responded found cases where facilities had not
reported to one or the other government. States provided copies of forms to the EPA where EPA had
not received copies, and vice-versa.
Every year EPA issues Notices of Noncompliance (NONs) to facilities who use invalid
forms, provide incomplete forms, incomplete facility identification, or incorrect/missing chemical
identification. These facilities are also notified by telephone to make sure their follow-up revisions
correct these errors. A facility that does not comply with a NON may be subject to civil penalties.
For the reporting years 1988 through 1990, EPA also issued Notices of Technical Error
(NOTEs) for missing required data or providing incorrect information, such as facility identification
numbers or invalid codes. The response rate to the NONs and NOTEs has been very good and has
prevented errors from recurring in following years. To help facilities avoid these types of errors, a
list of common errors was provided in the 1989 through 1992 reporting year instructions. Due to
lack of a final regulation for the pollution prevention data elements and budget cuts for the TRI
program, EPA did not issue NOTEs for the 1991 reporting year. EPA expects to issue NOTEs for the
1992 reporting year in April 1994. NOTEs for the 1993 reporting year will be issued in late 1994.
Based on limited evaluation of the 1991 Form Rs, a list of common errors to avoid involving the
required pollution prevention data has been developed and is available from the EPCRA Information
Hotline at 1-800-535-0202.

ACCURACY EVALUATION
The accuracy of the release data can vary. Some releases can be estimated fairly easily, just
by knowing how much of the chemical was used during the reporting year or by weighing drums of
solid/liquid waste. Where monitoring of release streams or wastes has been done, release estimates
may be within 20% of actual amount released, although infrequent, non-representative sampling may
lead to much less accuracy. Estimates of fugitive air emissions and complex waste waters for which
monitoring data are not available may be off by one or even two orders of magnitude, particularly
when the release is a small percentage of the amount of the chemical actually processed.
For the 1987 and 1988 reporting years, EPA conducted audits at 248 facilities to determine
how well facilities complied with the law and estimated release quantities. These audits did not
"confirm" estimates through monitoring, but determined how well facilities used available data and
estimation techniques to calculate releases.
Overall, based on the audit of 156 facilities, 1987 total annual releases appeared to have been
underestimated by 2%, representing the net effect of overestimates and underestimates. For non-
zero release estimates, more than three-quarters were within a factor of two of EPA's best estimate.
About 15% were in error by an order of magnitude or more.
The survey of the 1988 data focused on facilities in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes 28 (chemical manufacturing), 29 (petroleum refining), and 34 (metal finishing and
fabrication). Ninetv facilities were visited. The acereeate 1988 release estimates in these industries

2) identification of facilities that should have reported but did not; and 3) identification of
discrepancies between TRI data reported to EPA and to the state. Quality assurance activities to be
conducted include facility site visits and telephone audits, cross-checking TRI data against other
state data, such as permit data, using computer algorithms to identify suspect estimates, and
comparing TRI data across reporting years.

SUMMARY OF EPA PROGRAM OFFICE,
REGIONAL OFFICE, AND STATE USES
OF TRI DATA
EPA PROGRAM OFFICE USE
Office of Enforcement (OE) and Office of Compliance Monitoring (OCM)
TRI data will continue to be heavily used by the new Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance (OECA), which is the consolidated office that is replacing both the Office of Enforcement
and the Office of Compliance Monitoring. OECA is composed of several smaller offices, including
the Office of Regulatory Enforcement and the Office of Compliance.
TRI data will, as in the past, be used as a tool in facility inspection targeting, both in the
Regions and at Headquarters. TRI reporting data are used in the EPCRA Targeting System (ETS),
which provides local access to TRI reporting-status data and additional facility information
contained in EPA's Facility Index System (FINDS), as well as to Dun & Bradstreet, for facilities
potentially subject to EPCRA Section 313 reporting requirements. TRI data will also continue to be
cross-checked with data collected under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to identify those
facilities or types of businesses that reported under some but not all of the reporting rules.
The TRI database is among the approximately twelve Agency databases that are linked in the
Agency's Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) system. IDEA provides enforcement
planners with complete compliance profiles of industry sectors (as well as individual corporations)
across the different statutes administered and enforced by EPA. IDEA will be used by all of the
offices comprising the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance for enforcement screening,
targeting and planning, as well as development of enforcement policy.
Enforcement planners will continue to use TRI data to distinguish between industrial sectors
based on risk, in terms of types of chemicals reported, total pounds of toxic chemicals released, types
of releases, and average pounds released per facility (or industrial sector). Until new techniques for
assessing risk can be developed, TRI data give the Agency a sound "surrogate" for the risks posed to
the public by toxic chemical releases.
D-1
-------
Appendix D — EPA and State Data Use
TRI data, already an important tool in achieving pollution prevention, will continue to play a
key role in the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. Because it gives Agency enforce-
ment staff a picture of what chemicals are being released (or transferred) to air, land and/or water,
TRI is an excellent starting point for identifying opportunities for both toxics use reduction and
source reduction among a broad spectrum of facilities, from small, single-facility business to multi-
facility corporations. It will only grow in importance as more chemicals are added to the list of those
covered by EPCRA Section 313.
Finally, because EPCRA is a right-to-know statute that places into the hands of the public
data on toxic releases, it is a good mechanism for EPA to begin implementing the environmental
justice program. That program calls upon both the government and industry to be more sensitive to
the issues of both the environmental and human health conditions in minority and low-income
communities.
Office of Air and Radiation (OAR)
OAR has used the Toxics Release Inventory data for a variety of tasks related to the imple-
mentation of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), including the following:
• TRI data on the number of facilities emitting a chemical and amount emitted are used in
setting research priorities for the 189 Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) identified in the
CAAA.
• TRI data were used to estimate the number of major sources of HAPs that might be
affected by regulations under section 112(g), the modifications provision of the CAAA.
• TRI estimates of emissions from publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) were used in
establishing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards required by
Title m of the CAAA.
• TRI data are used to target potential sources for inclusion in the Early Reductions
Program, which is a means of getting enforceable reductions of toxic emissions before a
regulation is in place.
• TRI data are used in inventories of air toxics emissions, and in air toxics "Locating and
Estimating" documents, which help state and local air agencies identify potential source
categories of air toxics in their communities.
• TRI data are used to verify the quality and completeness of point source emission inven-
tories in state implementation plans.
• TRI data are used to aid in identifying potential or actual violations of the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for lead.
D-2
-------
Appendix D—EPA and State Data Use
* TRI data were used to identify which of the 189 HAPs might be emitted as particulates
and thus might be captured by control equipment used in response to the NAAQS for
paniculate matter.
• TRI data will be used as a measure of the progress of the CAAA in reducing air toxics,
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT)
OPPT is using TRI data in a variety of ways to support EPA's Source Reduction Review
Project (SRRP). The SRRP is an EPA-wide effort to promote source reduction in the regulatory
development process. For example, data on the types of source reduction practices already adopted
by some facilities are helpful for identifying candidate facilities for site visits, as well as technolo-
gies that could serve as the basis for prevention-oriented standards under the Agency's traditional
environmental control programs (e.g., effluent guidelines under the Clean Water Act).
TRI data form the backbone of EPA's innovative 33/50 Program, which seeks to achieve
voluntary national reductions of 33% by 1992 and 50% by 1995 in the releases and off-site transfers
of 17 high priority TRI chemicals, using 1988 TRI reporting as a baseline. EPA has used TRI
reporting data to identify more than 7,500 parent companies of the more than 16,400 facilities that
have reported one or more of the target chemicals since 1988 (see Chapter 4). Each company has
been contacted by EPA to solicit their participation in the Program. Participation in the 33/50
Program is easy, since companies' environmental releases and off-site transfers are already reported
to TRI. Accordingly, no additional environmental data are required to be reported; companies
merely inform us of their interest in participating and voluntary commitment to specific reduction
targets.
Assessments of the 33/50 Program's progress in meeting its ambitious national goals, as well
as the progress individual companies are making in achieving their own reduction targets, are made
directly from environmental data already being reported annually to TRI. The Pollution Prevention
Act's expansion of TRI reporting data for 1991 and beyond will greatly assist the Agency in
determining the extent to which companies' pollution prevention initiatives contributed to observed
reductions in releases and transfers. The new two-year forecasting data will also help by providing
advance notice of any potential shortfalls in meeting the national goals, enabling EPA to attempt to
determine if there are barriers inhibiting companies' reduction efforts. Finally, the Agency hopes
that the requirement for companies to project future emissions will provide additional incentives to
investigate source reduction opportunities and participate in the 33/50 Program.
The OPPT Existing Chemicals Program continues to use the TRI data for risk screening,
testing, and pollution prevention activities in the Risk Management assessment processes. TRI data
serve as a major input to exposure and risk assessments in OPPT. TRI data have also been useful in
identifying target audiences for risk notification efforts following Risk Management assessment.

The TRI is especially important to the Existing Chemical Program's new initiatives on
pollution prevention. TRI data are used for targeting chemicals/uses/facilities for pollution preven-
tion assessment and for evaluating pollution prevention actions. TRI data are also used by the
Chemical Assessment Desk and other OPPT outreach efforts to respond to inquiries from a variety
of sources.
OPPT has developed software that contains health and ecotoxicity information on most of the
section 313 chemicals. This software is called PC-TRIFACTS and enables the TRI data user to
better understand the potential health and ecological effects of chemical releases identified in the
TRI.
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER)
TRI data, in combination with other information on waste minimization, are useful in
analyzing long-term trends and identifying particular industry practices that warrant attention by the
program.
With respect to enforcement, TRI data supplement other existing data sources and can be
called on to assist in the development of OSWER enforcement priorities. TRI data also are valuable
as a means of establishing liability under both the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Com-
pensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation Recovery Act of
1976 (RCRA).
Another site-specific ftmction of the TRI database relates to its role in providing emission
information that can be used when developing emission inventories for the Superfund site discovery
program and when undertaking Superfund preliminary assessments of sites. In the reportable
quantity (RQ) program, TRI data could be used to support future rulemaking under CERCLA (e.g.,
designation of additional hazardous substances). In addition, states use the TRI data in conjunction
with other data obtained under EPCRA for accident prevention planning.
Office of Water (OW)
TRI is being used as a source of data regarding discharge/release of contaminants to ground-
water and surface water. The TRI data are used with other pertinent exposure and toxicity-related
factors (e.g., quantity produced, occurrence in water, human health effects) in identifying and priori-
tizing drinking water contaminants. The prioritized list will be used to identify candidates for
regulatory consideration.
TRI data were used as a screening mechanism for possible sources of wellhead contamina-
tion. Using TRI and other relevant data in a Geographic Information System (GIS), potential
contamination sources have been identified. These sources may affect community groundwater
systems in the development and implementation of wellhead protection programs. EPA Regional
offices continue to coordinate groundwater programs, using GIS as a cross-program tool.

AH***
The OW document Guidance for Water Quality-based Decisions: The TMDL Process
identifies the TRI as an important information source. In particular, TRI data can be used when
developing section 303(d) lists. Section 303(d) lists, which must be submitted biennially by states,
are composed of impaired waters which need additional controls in order to meet or maintain water
quality standards.
OW's Gulf of Mexico Program uses the TRI data and other information to identify and
quantify inputs of toxic chemicals to the Gulf. This information is then used to calculate a toxicity
index for various Gulf estuaries.
The Office of Water Enforcement and Compliance (OWEC) has used TRI data to identify
industrial users with the greatest combination of toxic pollutants to city sewer systems. Certain
facilities are referred to EPA Regional offices for further evaluation.
OWEC also used TRI data to identify industrial users (lUs) that are subject to pretreatment
standards, but that are located in cities that are not required to have pretreatment programs. Compar-
ing location of users to cities without approved pretreatment programs may be a way of identifying
lUs for which EPA is responsible. OW is also matching permitted facilities with facilities that
reported TRI discharges to surface water. This will help identify unpermitted dischargers.
The TRI data were also used in compiling a report to Congress on the National Pretreatment
Program, and in identifying the types and sources of pollutants discharged to publicly owned treat-
ment works (POTWs).
OW is evaluating the types and volumes of TRI discharges reported by "minor" and "major"
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) facilities to assess the relative risk
presented by minor as compared to major facilities.
In developing effluent guidelines, OW needs to understand which pollutants are released
from pesticide manufacturing facilities and the patterns of those releases. Some TRI data are useful
for screening purposes; however, the OW effluent guidelines program also screens for a number of
pollutants not reported under TRI.
TRI data, in conjunction with the Permit Compliance System (PCS) database, were used in
the development of a national database of point source discharges that may result in sediment
contamination. The data generated from this inventory will be combined with data on conditions at
specific locations. This will provide a valuable tool for identifying the potential magnitude of
contamination problems in the nation's freshwater and estuarine bottom deposits, selecting facilities
and industries that may require additional regulation, determining where permitting efforts should be
focused, and identifying locations for further sediment testing.

REGION AND STATE USE OF TRI DATA
EPA's ten Regional Offices continue to use and promote the use of TRI data both internally
and externally. On-going uses include using TRI to:
• Target facilities for compliance and enforcement inspections. In 1993, 798 inspections
were conducted. To date, proposed fines totaling $40 million have been assessed by EPA
Regional Offices against facilities who either did not report, reported late, or sent in poor
quality data. Ohio, the state with the most aggressive EPCRA section 313 enforcement
program, conducted over 100 inspections in 1993.
• Develop approaches for integrating the TRI with other databases to identify industries or
geographic areas of concern. The TRI has been used by Regions ffl, IV and DC to iden-
tify sites for environmental justice projects. Seventeen states are conducting GIS studies
using TRI and seven states have used or are using the TRI for environmental justice
studies.
• Identify and report on pollution prevention practices by reporting facilities. These
analyses have led to the development of technical assistance and peer information
exchange programs in a number of Regions. A majority of the states have toxics use
reduction or pollution prevention legislation that uses TRI data to track progress.
• Generate interest in and awareness of EPA's Right-to-Know program in order to foster a
better informed public. TRI demonstrations and presentations have been given at a
variety of educational institutions which have led to the development of course offerings
that include the TRI as tool.
Below are some more detailed descriptions of how some of the EPA Regional Offices and
states are using the TRI data.
REGIONS' USE OF TRI
Targeting Project
U.S. EPA Region DC is leading an effort to develop a partnership between industry and
regulatory agencies to reduce the level of emissions in southwest Los Angeles County by fostering
and implementing pollution prevention projects. This area was selected due to the high concentra-
tion of industrial facilities. Data from the TRI have shown that the area's toxic releases are the
highest in the State and Region DC. The central theme of the partnership will be industry-driven,
agency-supported, voluntary pollution prevention projects. All projects submitted by industry to the
partnership will be evaluated with respect to the pollution prevention hierarchy of media reductions
and must go "beyond compliance" (below allowable limits, ahead of schedule, and a voluntary
action). Projects must make good business sense with a suitable return on investment, particularly in
an area such as Los Angeles County which has experienced a severe business downturn. The
partnership is named "Mutual Efforts to Reduce Industrial Toxics" (MERIT).
D-6
-------
Appendix D—EPA and State Data Use
Region DC has drafted a set of guidelines for the partnership that will help companies to
voluntarily assess their emissions to all media, and work with other companies and agencies to
develop pollution prevention projects. Also, a community advisory board is being established to
provide input into the program.
Companies that participate will be eligible for expedited processing of their permit applica-
tions, and will be able to receive compliance assistance from other partnership companies: Partici-
pating companies will also have an opportunity to provide meaningful input to regulators on how to
encourage additional pollution prevention projects.
Examples of MERIT partnership projects include:
The Oil Refinery Roundtable and the Metal Finishers Waste Minimization Audit Workshop
are designed to identify pollution prevention options that are available, transferable, and free of
legal, regulatory, and proprietary barriers.
A project associated with electric car development involves the principles of "design for the
environment" engineering to design batteries for disassembly and recycling/reuse, while avoiding
hazardous waste disposal problems.
TRIPQUIC
The Air and Toxics Division in U.S. EPA Region VI has used the TRI data to analyze
releases and transfers in areas of interest to the states, in particular the Louisiana industrial corridor,
the Houston metropolitan area, the U.S./Mexico border, and the Gulf of Mexico. TRBPQUIC, a TRI
data manipulation and mapping tool, is being used to produce numerical tables, bar graphs, pie
charts, and maps that help federal and state officials better understand and analyze the data. Some of
these TRIPQUIC analyses assisted the Region VI staff in negotiations with industrial groups to
arrange for 33/50 Program and pollution prevention workshops. TRI data were used to aid the EPA
staff in the development of environmental justice calculation software.
STATES'USE OF TRI
Heaithy People 2000
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), in support of the objectives of the
Public Health Services (PHS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
"Healthy People 2000," has established goals to reduce human exposure to toxic agents by reducing
the total pounds of those agents released into the air, water, and soil each year. The baseline for
Arizona will come from two sources : the 1988 TRI and the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality 1991 Toxic Data Reports (state filers not otherwise subject to TRI).
ADHS will monitor the number of pounds reported which are DHHS-listed carcinogens and
toxic agents listed by the Agency of Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

TRI Used to Identify Customers
South Carolina has created TRI software that allows users to customize searches and reports
on one year's entire database. The program gives public, private, and governmental interests the
chance to work with the data much more efficiently. Michael Juras, South Carolina's EPCRA 313
Coordinator, has advertised the availability of this software program in state trade publications,
noting, "My thought was to at least make it easier to market pollution prevention technology for
those firms who need detailed information on waste streams. Enabling the free enterprise resolution
of toxic pollution is an important goal." South Carolina's new Air Toxics Program and new Storm
Water Program are using the TRI package to identify their own customers.
Waste Reduction Assistance Program
The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation sponsors a voluntary, cooperative,
non-regulatory waste reduction program known as the Waste Reduction Assistance Program
(WRAP). Retired engineers are sent out at the request of the facility to provide expertise in reducing
the use of hazardous substances, the generation of hazardous wastes, and releases of air toxics. The
program covers facilities handling TRI chemicals. The initial focus of the visit is on housekeeping
issues, but inventory management, preventive maintenance, and potential process modifications are
also examined. Upon completion of the visit, the engineer provides the facility with a list of sugges-
tions to reduce waste generation and save related expenses. Typical suggestions include materials
substitution, such as replacing 1,1,1-trichloroethane with less hazardous materials or non-toxic
cleaners, or recycling used water in electroplating operations.
Over the past four years, more than 184 facilities have participated in the program, including
a number of Department of Defense facilities. More than $3.7 million in economic savings have
been achieved by Florida businesses and government facilities as a result of these source reduction
efforts.
Multi-Media Waste Reduction Targeting
North Carolina's Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources has developed
a database that contains emissions and waste reduction data from a variety of sources to facilitate
waste reduction assessment by the North Carolina Pollution Prevention Program. The objective of
this project is to integrate multi-media environmental release data into other statewide waste reduc-
tion efforts, including technical assistance, training, grants, research, and demonstration efforts of
hazardous waste reduction.
Currently, this database is used by North Carolina's Office of Waste Reduction to determine
various multi-media waste releases by industries in preparation for site visits and technical assis-
tance. Ongoing projects utilizing these data include: using the data to assist industries in waste
reduction plans; and evaluating the lexicological factors versus the risk factors of various chemicals

in the database and directing technical assistance efforts towards the reduction of those chemicals.
The database will also be used as a basis for targeting problem sectors (e.g., SIC codes, geographic
regions, company sizes), and allocating funding, resources, and technical assistance.
Environmental Justice Projects
The National Conference of State Legislatures' 1994 State TRI Assessment study identified
six states that use TRI data for environmental justice projects. They are:
• Arizona — analysis of a south Phoenix neighborhood
» California — state comparative risk project
* Connecticut — used to detect toxic release trends in minority communities
» Georgia — analysis of the TRI data in response to specific questions
• Louisiana — conducted a study of East Baton Rouge Parish, comparing facilities and
releases to the location of low-income communities
• South Carolina — provided the state Black Caucus with data as part of an effort to develop
an environmental equity bill in the South Carolina legislature.
In that same study, Texas and Washington indicated that they plan to initiate environmental
justice projects using TRI data in the future.

REGULATORY MATRIX:
TRI CHEMICALS IN
OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAMS
Many of the chemicals covered under TRI are also subject to other environmental laws. The
following matrix indicates whether the currently listed TRI chemicals are subject to any of the
following selected environmental laws:
1. EPCRA 302: EPCRA section 302 (codified at 40 CFR Part 355), facilities with listed
extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) in quantities greater than their Threshold Planning
Quantities (TPQs) must report to the State Emergency Response Commission. TPQs are
based on a combination of acute toxicity and ability of the substance to become airborne.
The list of EHSs and their TPQs can be found at 40 CFR Part 355 Appendix A. For more
information, contact the EPCRA Information Hotline: 1-800-535-0202.
2. CAA112: The Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS; codified at 40 CFR Part 61), lists the Hazardous Air
Pollutants and includes emissions standards and monitoring requirements for plants with
listed chemicals.
3. CERCLA: Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA; 42 USC 9601 et seq.), releases of listed substances at or
above their Reportable Quantities (RQs) must be reported to the National Response Center.
RQs are set on the basis of aquatic toxicity, acute mammalian toxicity, ignitability, reactivity,
chronic toxicity, and carcinogenicity, with possible adjustment on the basis of biodegrada-
tion, hydrolysis, and photolysis. The list of CERCLA hazardous substances and their RQs
can be found at 40 CFR 302.4. For more information, contact the RCRA/Superfund Hotline:
1-800-424-9346.
4. FIFRA: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (F1FRA) creates a statu-
tory framework under which EPA, through a registration process, regulates the development,
sale, distribution, and use of pesticides.
E-1
-------
Appendix E—Regulatory Matrix
5. NPDWR: The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations under the Safe Drinking Water
Act, Subparts B and G (codified at 40 CFR Part 141) list Maximum Contaminant Levels
(MCLs) for certain chemicals. The MCL is the maximum permissible level of a contaminant
in public drinking water systems. MCLs are based on health factors, but are also required by
law to reflect the technological and economic feasibility of removing the contaminant from
the water supply. Further information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline:
1-800-424-4791.
6. PPL: The Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates the discharge of pollutants into waterways by
industrial sources, municipal sources, and other sources. These sources of water pollution
are subject to effluent limitations based on guidelines and water quality standards. Approxi-
mately 125 pollutants make up a "Priority Pollutants List." EPA has developed water quality
criteria for all the priority pollutants.
7. RCRA (P/U): Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), hazardous
wastes are required to be managed "cradle to grave" (i.e., from the point of generation to the
point of ultimate disposal). For a waste to be classified as hazardous, it can be an F, K, P, or
U listed hazardous waste (40 CFR 261.30 - 261.33) or exhibit one of the following charac-
teristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. The chemicals on the P and U list are
commercial chemical products, off-specification species, container residues, and spill
residues. The chemicals on the P list have been identified as acute hazardous waste; those on
the U list have been identified as toxic wastes. For more information, contact the RCRA/
Superfund Hotline: 1-800-424-9346.
