Section 313 Release
Reporting Requirements
-------
This brochure contains information about a
new federal law, the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act. This law establishes
a structure at the State and local levels to assist
communities m planning for chemical emergencies
and requires facilities to provide information on
various chemicals present in the community. The
act requires that this information be made available
to the public, One of the requirements concerns the
reporting of annual releases of toxic chemicals to
the air, water, and land. These provisions are
outlined in Section 313 which mandates release
reporting for over 300 chemicals. Other reporting
requirements are included elsewhere in the act.
This booklet deals with Section 313.
It is important that you read this information to
see if you are subject to Section 313 reporting
requirements. The first reports under this section,
covering the 1987 calendar year, are due by July 1,
1988, EPA is responsible for administering this
section and for developing a database that will
make information in the reports available to the
public.
The Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act is important in providing to the
public information about chemicals in the
community. I look forward to working with you to
make its implementation a success.

The Emergency
Planning and
Community
Right-to-Know Act
fcPA has prepared this brochure to alert
businesses to their reporting obligations under Sec-
tion 313 of the Emergency Planning and Commun-
ity Right-to-Know Act, and to help you determine
whether your facility is covered under the new
law. If you are covered, this brochure will also
help you prepare to meet your reporting obliga-
tions. If you are uncertain whether you are cov-
ered, it will tell you how to get assistance.
This brochure deals with reporting require-
ments of only one section of the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Act: Section
313, which pertains to release reporting. Other
planning and reporting requirements may also
affect your business. The nearest EPA regional
office can provide complete details, but the other
basic requirements of the Act are as follows:
Facilities that have on their premises
chemicals designated under the Act
as "extremely hazardous substances"
must cooperate with state and local
planning officials in preparing
comprehensive emergency plans
(Sections 302 and 303);
•
Facilities must report accidental
releases of "extremely hazardous
substances" and CERCLA "hazardous
substances" to state and local
response officials (Section 304); and
-------
Facilities must make Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDSs) available to
local and state officials and must also
report, to local and state officials,
inventories (including locations) of
chemicals on their premises for
which MSDSs exist (Sections 311
and 312).
•
For more information on the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Act, ask your
regional EPA office for the Title III Fact Sheet. Or
call the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Information Hotline, 800-535-0202.
Report Toxic
Chemical
U
'nder Section 313 of the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-to-Know Act,* certain
businesses are now required to submit reports each
year on the amounts of chemicals their facilities
release into the environment, either routinely or as
a result of accidents. The purpose of this reporting
requirement is to inform government officials and
the public about releases of toxic chemicals into
the environment. Section 313 requires facilities to
report releases to air, water, and land. The reports
must be sent to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and to designated state
agencies. The first annual report, for the 1987
calendar year, is due by July 1, 1988. Those who
fail to report as required are subject to civil penal-
ties of up to $25,000 a day.
The final Toxic Chemical Release Inventory
rule under Section 313 was published in the
Federal Register in February 1988.
The Act is also known as Title III of SARA (the Superfund Amend-
ments and Reauthonzation Act)
-------
Who
Must
Report
plant, factory, or other facility comes
under the provisions of Section 313:
If it conducts manufacturing
operations (that is, if it is included in
Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) codes 20 through 39, listed on page 8);
•
If, in addition, it has 10 or more full-
time employees; and
•
If, in addition to the above, it
manufactures, imports, processes, or
in any other way uses any of the
toxic chemicals listed on pages 16-23
in amounts greater than the
"threshold" quantities specified
below. At present, 308 individual
chemicals and 20 categories of
chemicals are covered. The list may
be changed in future years.
•
Thresholds
Thresholds are volumes of chemicals that
trigger reporting requirements.
If you manufacture or process any of the
listed toxic chemicals, the threshold quantity will
be:
• 75,000 pounds during calendar
year 1987;
• 50,000 pounds in 1988; and
• 25,000 pounds in 1989 and
subsequent years.
If you use any listed chemical in any other
way (without incorporating it into any product or
-------
producing it at the facility), the threshold quantity
is:
• 10,000 pounds in calendar year
1987 and in subsequent years.
What is meant by the terms "manufacture,"
"process," or "otherwise use"?
• Manufacture—means to produce,
prepare, import or compound one
of the chemicals on the list. For
example, if you make a dye for
clothing by taking raw materials
and reacting them, you are manu-
facturing the dye. You would also
be covered if you were a textile
manufacturer who imported a dye
on the list for purposes of applying
it to fabric produced at your plant.
• Process—in general, includes
making mixtures, repackaging, or
using a chemical as a feedstock,
raw material, or starting material
for making another chemical. Pro-
cessing also includes incorporat-
ing a chemical into an article (e.g.,
using dyes to color fabric [the fab-
ric is the article that the dye is
being incorporated into]).
Examples of processing include:
D The use of a solvent as a diluent when
making a paint or coating;
n Using a chemical as an intermediate in
the manufacture of a pesticide (e.g.,
using chemical A to make chemical B).
• Otherwise Use—applies to any
use of a toxic chemical at a cov-
ered facility that is not covered by
the terms "manufacture" or "pro-
cess" and includes use of a toxic
chemical contained in a mixture or
trade name product.
-------
Examples include:
n Using chlorine as a biocide in plant
cooling water;
n Using trichloroethylene to degrease
tools;
Q Using chlorine in waste water
treatment.
Section 313 defines a "facility" as all build-
ings, equipment, structures, and other stationary
items which are located on a single site or on con-
tiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or
operated by the same person. Warehouses on the
same site as covered facilities are covered at the
threshold levels given above. Stand-alone ware-
houses that do not support a manufacturing opera-
tion are not currently covered.
The reporting thresholds apply to toxic
chemicals known by the owner or operator to be
used in amounts above the thresholds. Beginning
in 1989, Section 313 will require suppliers of mix-
tures and trade name products to notify customers
of the presence of Section 313 listed chemicals
in their products beyond certain de minimis con-
centrations (these cutoffs are discussed under
"Exemptions").
Exemptions
Under certain circumstances, some or all of
the reporting requirements under Section 313 may
not apply to a facility. The following are the major
exemptions;
^ De minimis concentrations of toxic chem-
ical in a mixture. In determining whether the
amount of a toxic chemical used at your facility
exceeds the reporting threshold listed on pages 3
and 4, you are not required to count the amount of
chemical present in a mixture if
its concentration is less than 1
percent of the mixture, or
•
its concentration is less than 0.1
percent of any mixture when the
chemical is defined by OSHA as
carcinogenic.
-------
>• Articles. In considering whether a report-
ing threshold has been exceeded, you are not re-
quired to count toxic chemicals present in articles
at your facility. An "article" is defined as a
manufactured item that meets certain criteria, one
of which is that it does not release a toxic chemical
under normal conditions of processing or use.
^ Specified Uses. In considering whether a
reporting threshold has been exceeded, you are not
required to count toxic chemicals that are used at
your facility for any of the following purposes:
As a structural component of the
facility;
•
In routine janitorial or facility
grounds maintenance;
•
In foods, drugs, cosmetics, or other
items for personal use, including
supplies of such items (for example,
in a facility-operated cafeteria);
•
In motor vehicle maintenance; or
•
In process water and non-contact
cooling water as drawn from the en-
vironment or from municipal sources,
or in air used either as compressed
air or as part of combustion.
•
> Laboratories. In considering whether a re-
porting threshold has been exceeded, you are not
required to count toxic chemicals that are manu-
factured, processed, or used in a laboratory at a
covered facility under the supervision of a tech-
nically qualified individual. This exemption does
not apply to specialty chemical production or to
production, processing, or use of toxic chemicals
in pilot plant scale operations.
>• Owners of Leased Property. The owner
of a covered facility is not subject to reporting
-------
under Section 313 if the owner's only interest in
the facility is ownership of the real estate upon
which the facility is operated.
If you need further clarification of exemp-
tions, call the Emergency Planning and Com-
munity Right-to-Know Information Hotline,
800-535-0202.
How
to
Report
I he owner or operator of a covered facility
must report annually. Each report must be submit-
ted on or before July 1 for activities during the
previous calendar year.
EPA will provide a reporting form (EPA
Form R) with instructions and technical guidance
on how to calculate chemical releases or emissions
from your facility. To obtain the reporting form,
instructions, and technical guidance, check the
boxes for those publications on the back cover, de-
tach the cover, and mail it in. Or call the Emer-
gency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Information Hotline (800-535-0202) or any of the
EPA regional offices listed on pages 13-15.
You are not required to measure or monitor
releases for purposes of Section 313 reporting.
You may use readily available data to report the
quantities of chemicals that you use and the
amounts released into the environment. If you
have no data available, the law permits you to
report reasonable estimates. EPA's technical
guidance on calculating releases can help you in
making estimates. This guidance is available from
the sources shown on pages 13-15.

What
You Must
Report
• ou must report the following information
for each listed chemical manufactured, imported,
processed, or used at your facility in yearly
amounts which exceed the threshold:
The name and location of your
facility;
•
The identity of the listed toxic
chemical (unless you claim its
identity to be a trade secret);
•
Whether you manufacture, import, or
process the chemical, or use it in
any other way;
•
The maximum quantity of the
chemical on site at any time during
the year;
•
The total quantity of the chemical
released during the year, including
both accidental spills and routine
emissions — separate estimates must
be provided for releases to air,
water, and land (e.g., deep well
injection, permitted landfill);
•
Off-site locations to which you
shipped wastes containing the
chemical and the quantities of that
chemical sent to those locations; and
-------
Treatment or disposal methods used
for wastes containing the chemical
and estimates of their efficiency for
each chemical (efficiency of
treatment methods used on site).
•
For purposes of Section 313, a release is
defined as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pour-
ing, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting,
escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into
the environment (including the abandonment or
discarding of barrels, containers, and other closed
receptacles) of any "toxic chemical" (i.e., any of
the chemicals on pages 16-23).

Public
Access to
Reports
I he law requires facilities covered by Sec-
tion 313 to send toxic chemical release reports
both to EPA and to the state in which the facility is
located. At EPA, the Office of Toxic Substances
will be responsible for receiving and processing
the data. Your EPA regional office can tell you
what agency has been designated to receive reports
in your state.
EPA is required by law to make the data in
the reports available to the public through a com-
puter database. (You can claim the chemical iden-
tity to be a trade secret, but you must justify the
claim to EPA.) The database is intended to help
answer citizens' questions about chemical releases
in their community. The users of the data are also
likely to include researchers from government or
universities conducting environmental analyses,
EPA expects to use the data in a variety of ways,
including targeting problem pollution areas and
as a screening tool for developing standards and
regulations.
What
You Can
Do Now
• ou can begin planning now to make com-
pliance with Section 313 as easy and inexpensive
as possible. The steps are as follows:
11
-------
CD If you have 10 or more full-time employees,
check the SIC code list on page 8 to deter-
mine whether your facility is covered.
OH Check the list of toxic chemicals covered
by Section 313 (pages 16-23) to see if any
are manufactured, imported, processed, or
in any other way used by your facility. For
reporting years 1987 and 1988 you must re-
port based on data available to you. For re-
porting year 1989 and subsequent years,
your chemical supplier is required to inform
you if any of the 313 chemicals is contained
in mixtures sold to you.
H] Determine whether you handle any chemi-
cal on the list in an amount greater than the
thresholds on pages 3-4.
B If you meet the criteria, request copies of
the reporting form, instructions, and any of
the appropriate guidance documents listed
at the back of this brochure.
[5] Begin to develop the appropriate informa-
tion to report your 1987 releases.
[H Put in place a recordkeeping system that
will help you estimate releases for 1988 and
future years.
You should designate someone at your facil-
ity to be responsible for reporting under Section
313. That person should obtain reporting forms
and instructions and should be aware of the first
reporting deadline: July 1, 1988.
The reporting forms and instructions can be
obtained by mailing in the order form on the inside
back cover. Or call the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Information Hotline or
one of the EPA regional offices listed on pages
13-15.
