Executive Summary

The Purpose of this Trends Report
The National Priority Chemicals (PCs) Trends Report is intended primarily to 1) evaluate the
progress made in achieving EPA's Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) national goal
of a 10 percent reduction of PCs (Exhibit 1) in wastes by 2008, compared to the 2001 quantities
and 2) provide information and trends on the quantities (aggregated and non-aggregated) and
management methods of the PCs contained in hazardous wastes (Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C) and non-hazardous industrial wastes (RCRA Subtitle D) for
the nation, EPA Regions, States, industry sectors, and federal facilities to assist in identifying
potential waste minimization opportunities to reduce these chemicals. The data and trends
analyses developed for this report supports this program and helps us better understand trends in
the generation and management of the PCs, assess chemical reduction priorities, and identify
opportunities for eliminating or reducing the PCs. The 31 PCs consist of 28 organics and 3
metals/metal compounds that are frequently found in releases to water, air, and land. These
chemicals are present in soil, sediment, ground water, surface water, air, and/or biota, with many
serving as the basis for a waste being classified as hazardous. The PCs are frequently found in
wastes (hazardous and non-hazardous) and likely present opportunities for PC reductions in the
manufacturing, commercial, and government operations that generate these wastes.

For the purposes of developing this list of 31 chemicals, endosulfan alpha and endosulfan beta were counted together and Heptachlor
and Heptachlor epoxide were counted together. Also, each of the three metals (lead, cadmium, and mercury) is combined with its
associated metal compounds and addressed as a single PC in this report. For example, Lead and Lead Compounds are addressed as a
single PC. Only the weight of the metal portion of metal compounds is reported to TRI.
*Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are on the list of PCs and are reported to TRI but this chemical is not included in this Trends
report because EPA monitors the management of PCBs under a separate initiative.
The Trends Report is a tool for identifying opportunities to reduce these PCs in concert with the
objectives of the Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC), including assisting EPA in
identifying potential partners to voluntarily participate in the National Partnership for
-------
Environmental Priorities (NPEP) program. The EPA's Office of Solid Waste (OSW) is in its
third year of implementing the RCC, a program designed in 2002 to reduce the use of raw
materials, reuse materials to make new products or generate energy, and reduce the generation of
wastes. The RCC's goals are to reduce what comes into the waste management cycle, using
pollution prevention, waste minimization, source reduction, and manufacturing process and/or
product design changes, when economically feasible.
To support the RCC, OSW launched the voluntary NPEP program. EPA encourages all
generators to reduce the quantity of waste they generate. However, we believe that reducing the
generation of wastes containing any of these 31 PCs should be the first priority. Of the 31
chemicals identified by EPA as PCs, 24 chemicals are reported to the Toxics Release Inventory
(TRI), as required under the Emergency Planning & Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) §
313. However, since EPA monitors the management of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) under
a separate initiative, only 23 of the TRI-reportable chemicals are tracked for the purposes of this
Trends Report, including measuring progress toward our GPRA goal. The remaining 7 PCs, not
reported to TRI, are not currently tracked. (Exhibit 1).
The NPEP program is one of RCC's tools for "beyond compliance" management of the targeted
PCs. EPA recruits partners to participate in NPEP who pledge reductions of PCs through source
reduction and/or increased recycling efforts, and then set target deadlines to achieve those
reductions. The purpose of this program is to encourage government agencies, businesses, and
manufacturers to voluntarily enroll in a partnership with EPA to find ways to minimize the PCs.
This reduction preferably should be achieved by reducing the use of these chemicals at the
source, whenever possible. When reduction at the source is not possible, environmentally sound
recycling practices should be used.
Trends Analyses for the Priority Chemicals (1999-2003)
Summary of Findings and Changes in Trends. We analyze trends for the Priority Chemicals
based on the most recent five years of TRI data available. For this Trends Report, the trends
analysis is based on data from the 1999 - 2003 TRI reporting years. In 2000 and in 2001 there
were significant increases in both the quantities of PCs and the number of reporting facilities
compared to 1999. Several changes to TRI reporting requirements caused these increases:
1) In 2000 TRI began requiring reporting for three PCs not previously reported. They are:
benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and pentachlorobenzene. In 2000 these
three chemicals added 2.3 million pounds to the total quantity of Priority Chemicals in wastes.
Between 2000 and 2001 these three chemicals added a total of 1.5 million pounds to the PC
quantity reported to TRI. Between 2001 and 2002 they added 0.6 million pounds, and between
2002 and 2003 they added 0.8 million pounds. In total, from 2000 through 2003, the three new
chemicals added 5.2 million pounds to the quantity of PCs; 2) Lower TRI reporting thresholds
became effective in 2000 for seven other PCs which already were being reported to TRI (See
Exhibit 3). They are: heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mercury and mercury compounds,
methoxychlor, pendimethalin, polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), and trifluralin. This
change increased the amounts of these chemicals reported to TRI. At the same time, EPA
dropped the de minimis exemption for these seven PCs, lead and lead compounds, and the three
PCs mentioned above that began to be reported to TRI in 2000. The de minimis change required
reporting of smaller amounts than before, thereby increasing the reported amounts of these
chemicals. In 2000, the lowered thresholds and de minimis changes added a combined total of
-------
6.5 million pounds to the PC quantity reported to TRI. Between 2000 and 2001 the lowered
thresholds and de minimis changes added a combined total of 7.3 million pounds to the PC
quantity reported to TRI. Between 2001 and 2002 they added 7.8 million pounds, and between
2002 and 2003 they added 8.1 million pounds. From 2000 through 2003 the lowered thresholds
and de minimis changes combined added 29.7 million pounds to the total quantity of PCs'; 3) In
2001 EPA lowered the TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds, substantially
increasing the number of facilities reporting this PC. However, even with more facilities
reporting, reductions at facilities previously reporting to TRI caused the total quantity of lead and
lead compounds to decrease by 0.4 million pounds in 2001. From 2002-2003 reported quantities
of lead rose somewhat, from 34.9 million pounds to 36.7 million pounds. All told, the quantity
of lead reported from 2001 through 2003 increased by 30.4 million pounds.
As the result of the TRI changes, PCs showed a cumulative increase of 65.3 million pounds for
the years 2000 through 2003, compared to their 1999 quantities. The effects of these changes in
increasing the quantities of chemicals reported to TRI are shown in Exhibit 2 below. It is
important to note that the exhibit shows generally downward trends for PCs, whether one
examines quantities before the changes or after those changes took effect.

In 2003, 4 PCs comprised approximately 82 percent of the total national PC quantity. These
were lead and lead compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds, naphthalene, and hexachloro-
1,3-butadiene. Lead and Lead Compounds consistently have accounted for the majority of the
total national PC quantity - comprising approximately 46 percent of the total quantity of the PCs
in 2003. Nearly 13 million pounds of polycyclic aromatic compounds accounted for
approximately 16 percent of the total national quantity of PCs in 2003.

Note: For some chemical quantities, a zero (0) was inserted for one or more of the following reasons: 1) Prior to 2000, benzo(g,h,i)perylene,
dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and Pentachlorobenzene were not reportable TRI quantities, 2) no quantity was reported to TRI, 3) based on
our rounding-off process, quantities reported to TRI as <0.5 Ibs are shown as zero quantity.
PCs, such as naphthalene, hexachloro-l,3-butadiene, hexachlorobenzene, and hexachloroethane,
decreased significantly in quantity from 1999-2003. Exhibit 5 shows the national trends
regarding the management methods used for the PCs. Disposal quantities have increased,
especially onsite disposal. The energy recovery quantity has remained somewhat constant with
an increase of about 1.1 million pounds going to onsite energy recovery along with a
corresponding decrease of offsite energy recovery quantity. There has been a decrease of
approximately 3.5 million pounds in the total treatment quantity - mostly offsite treatment.
Although not counted as PC quantities (as explained later in the report), recycling, both onsite
and offsite, has decreased, compared to the 1999 quantities. Onsite recycling of the PCs has
consistently been around 425 million pounds from 2001 through 2003. In 2003, there was a
decrease in recycling of about 208 million pounds. Despite the 25 percent decline in recycling
since 1999, it is apparent that a majority of PCs have been and continue to be recycled. The
hierarchy of pollution prevention/waste minimization management techniques, recommends
recycling practices over treatment, energy recovery or disposal practices. The NPEP Program
will continue to encourage recycling as one of its target objectives.

Trends Analyses for the Priority Chemicals Reported by Federal
Facilities
An analysis of the generation/management trends for the PCs reported by Federal Facilities is
provided in Section 5. This analysis of how PCs are generated and managed by Federal
Facilities that report PCs to TR1 is separate and distinct from the requirements of Executive
Order 13148 - including the mandate that Federal Facilities develop a plan to reduce the use of
certain identified PCs and submit annual reports regarding progress being made to reduce the use
of these chemicals. This Trends Report shows trends regarding the generation and management
of the 23 PCs. As previously noted, the purposes of this Trends Report (and database) are: to 1)
track progress made toward GPRA goals to reduce the presence of the PCs in wastes and 2)
provide data to assist efforts for identifying voluntary potential waste minimization opportunities
that present source reduction and recycling as alternatives to land disposal, treatment, and energy
recovery.
In 2000 and, again in 2001, there were significant increases in both the quantity and number of
reporting Federal Facilities, compared to 1999. In 2003, 192 Federal Facilities reported over 4.1
million pounds of PCs. This represents about 5 percent of the total quantity of PCs reported by
all facilities (Federal + non-Federal) in 2003. Only a relatively small number of Federal
Facilities accounted for the majority of the total quantity of PCs reported. Of the 192 Federal
Facilities that reported a PC quantity in 2003, only 10 Federal Facilities accounted for almost 54
percent of the total quantity; 50 Federal Facilities accounted for almost 95 percent of the total
quantity.
10
-------
In 1999-2003, Federal Facilities in 48 states and Washington, D.C. reported a PC quantity.
Federal Facilities in 16 states accounting for over 90 percent of the total quantity reported by
Federal Facilities in 2003. Lead and Lead Compounds comprised almost 97 percent of the total
quantity of 7 PCs reported by Federal Facilities in 2003. In 2003, Federal Facilities in two
agencies, the Department of Defense and Department of Energy reported 97 percent of the total
quantity of lead and lead compounds, 100 percent of mercury and mercury compounds, and 100
percent of the PACs. About 97 percent of the PCs reported by Federal Facilities in 2003 were
land disposed, primarily onsite. Please refer to Section 5 for more details.
OSW Goals
The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) directs Federal Agencies to
establish strategic plans using long and short range goals, in a 5-year planning cycle updated
every 3 years. EPA's current strategic plan sets goals for 2008 and supersedes our 2,005 strategic
goal. OSW achieved the previous GPRA goal of a 50 percent reduction in the total quantity of
17 PCs in hazardous waste by the year 2005, as compared to the quantity in the baseline year of
1991, in 2001. Since OSW is now focusing efforts on the new GPRA goal (2008), the previous
GPRA goal (2005) will be discussed in section 2.
The OSW GPRA Goal (2008 GPRA Goal)
Reduce, by 10 percent, the total quantity of 23 Priority Chemicals in hazardous and non-
hazardous wastes by the year 2008, as compared to the quantity in the baseline year of 2001.
As of 2003, there was a 5.7 percent reduction in the total quantity of PCs contained in wastes
(exhibit 9).

Approximately half of the PCs showed a decrease in quantity since 2001. In 2003, five of these
chemicals accounted for 88 percent of the total quantity of PCs, lead and lead compounds
(46.3%), polycyclic aromatic compounds (16%), naphthalene (13.1%), hexachloro-1,3-butadiene
(7%), and hexachlorobenzene (5.4%).
The OSW Priority Chemicals
What Chemicals are addressed? EPA selected the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) as the
primary data source by which to measure progress toward reducing quantities of PCs in
hazardous waste and to track trends in the generation, release, and management of the PCs. The
TRI is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on more than 650 toxic
chemicals that are being used, manufactured, treated, transported, or released into the
environment. This information is reported annually by facilities on TRI Form Rs, and is
reviewed and updated on an on-going basis to reflect corrections to reported data resulting from
reporters' revised Form Rs and EPA data quality checks2. Exhibit 1 lists the 31 chemicals
identified by OSW as PCs3. However, only 24 of these 31 chemicals are reported to TRI.
Data for each year are published approximately 15 to 18 months following the end of the reporting year. For
example, aggregated data for reporting year 2003 were published in May 2005. Individual facility data were made
public in November 2004.
3 For the purposes of developing this list of 31 chemicals, endosulfan alpha and endosulfan beta were counted
together and heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide were counted together. Also, each of the three metals (lead,
cadmium, and mercury) is combined with its associated metal compounds and addressed as a single Priority
Chemical in this report. For example, lead and lead compounds are addressed as a single Priority Chemical. Only
the weight of the metal portion of metal compounds is reported to TRI. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are on
the list of Priority Chemicals and are reported to TRI but this chemical is not included in this Trends report because
EPA monitors the management of PCBs under a separate initiative.
12
-------
Therefore, for the purposes of this Trends Report and for tracking progress toward the current
GPRA goal (the 2008 GPRA goal), these 24 chemicals are analyzed. For the previous GPRA
goal (the 2005 GPRA goal), only those 17 PCs which were reported to TRI since 1991 were
tracked. The remaining PCs are not reported to TRI.
Information is reported to the TRI on a chemical-specific basis, rather than by waste stream.
Although data reported to TRI includes quantities of chemicals that are contained in the waste, it
does not necessarily provide a distinction between hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
Furthermore, not all data in the TRI are needed to calculate the PC quantities. The Office of
Solid Waste developed a measurement methodology4, summarized here and discussed in more
detail in Appendix C, to identify and extract the applicable data from the TRI database to
calculate PC quantities and estimate what portion of the chemical quantity reported to TRI is
likely to be found in RCRA Subtitle C hazardous or in non-Subtitle C (non-hazardous) industrial
wastes.
We developed the original methodology for the purpose of estimating the quantity of PCs that
was contained in RCRA Subtitle C hazardous wastes5. With the declaration of a new GPRA
goal by which to further reduce the presence of PCs in waste, we revised the original
methodology that had been used to calculate PC quantities for the previous GPRA goal. We
derived from this revised methodology data which serve as the basis for tracking progress toward
the current GPRA goal and doing trends analyses, as presented in this update of the Trends
Report.
To identify and collect data on PCs reported to the TRI in 1999 through 2003 for this report, we
used the revised methodology to undertake the following steps:
1. Extract Data Regarding PCs Reported to TRI;
2. Exclude selected TRI data;
3. Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate PC
Quantities; and
4. Analyze Data and Measure Progress Made Toward the GPRA Goal
More detailed information concerning these methodologies can be found in Section 2 and
Appendix C. Except for the discussion in Section 2 that provides an update on the progress
made toward reducing PCs in hazardous waste per the previous GPRA goal, the data used in this
Trends report - pertaining to the current GPRA goal and all other trends analyses - were derived
using the revised measurement methodology. Please note that the discussion of the previous
GPRA goal presented in this Trends Report is expected to be the last update concerning this
goal. Future updates of this Trends Report will focus on the current GPRA goal and trends
analyses using data from the revised methodology.
Please note that the methodology used in developing this Trends Report may differ from the methodology used by
the TRI program to show trends for the EPCRA section 313 chemicals m the annual TRI Public Data Release.
The term "hazardous waste" as used in this Trends Report refers to wastes that are regulated under RCRA Subtitle
C, which are listed in 40 CFR 261.20-24 (characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), 40 CFR
260.31 (non-specific source wastes), 40 CFR 260.32 (specific source wastes) or 40 CFR 260.33 (discarded
commercial chemical products). Priority Chemicals that are released in air emissions or surface water discharge
may not be RCRA Subtitle C hazardous wastes, but may be considered to be hazardous under other regulatory
statutes.

Section 1 -
Overview of Updated
Priority Chemical Trends Report
(1999-2003)
-------
Introduction
In 2002, the EPA's Office of Solid Waste (OSW) implemented the Resource Conservation Challenge
(RCC), a program designed to reduce the use of raw materials, reuse materials to make new products or
generate energy, and reduce the generation of wastes. When it is economically feasible, the RCC's
goals are to reduce what comes into the waste management cycle, using pollution prevention, waste
minimization, source reduction, and manufacturing process and/or product design changes.
The Office of Solid Waste has identified 31 chemicals on which to focus its efforts to reduce these
chemicals in wastes (Exhibit 1.1). As part of the RCC, an endeavor, referred to as the National
Program for Environmental Priorities (NPEP) program, was launched to reduce the presence of these 31
chemicals in wastes. These 31 chemicals, referred to as the Priority Chemicals (PCs), consist of 28
organics and 3 metals/metal compounds that are frequently found in releases to water, air, and land.
These chemicals are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulative in the food chain, and are toxic to
human health in relatively small quantities. These chemicals are present in soil, sediment, ground
water, surface water, air, and/or biota, with many serving as the basis for a waste being classified as
hazardous. Further, they are currently being generated (either intentionally or as a by-product or
impurity) and continue to be released to the environment potentially exacerbating existing problems and
creating new ones. Many of these organics also pose remediation difficulties once they get into the
environment resulting in costly cleanup efforts. The three metals/metal compounds were selected
because they occur frequently in RCRA waste streams and to be consistent with international efforts to
which the United States has commitments.
The PCs are frequently found in wastes (hazardous and non-hazardous) and present likely opportunities
for PC reductions in the manufacturing, commercial, and government operations that generate these
wastes. EPA encourages all generators to reduce the quantity of waste they generate. However, we
believe that reducing the generation of hazardous wastes containing any of these 31 PCs should be the
first priority. This reduction preferably should be achieved by reducing the use of these chemicals at
the source, whenever possible. When reduction at the source is not possible, environmentally sound
recycling practices should be used.
The NPEP program is the RCC's most direct tool for "beyond compliance" management of the targeted
PCs and forms a significant foundation upon which EPA will build its chemicals reduction and
management plan. EPA recruits partners to NPEP who pledge reductions of targeted chemicals through
source reduction and/or increased recycling efforts and then sets target deadlines to achieve those
reductions. The NPEP program endeavors to encourage government agencies, businesses, and
manufacturers to voluntarily enroll in a partnership with EPA to find ways to minimize use of the PCs
through source reduction and recycling.
This PCs Trends Report is used primarily to:
• Evaluate the progress made in achieving EPA's GPRA national goal of a 10 percent reduction
of PCs in wastes by 2008, compared to the 2001 quantities (see Section 2) and
• Provide information and trends regarding the generation and management of PC quantities
(aggregated and non-aggregated) contained in hazardous wastes (Subtitle C) and non-hazardous
industrial wastes (Subtitle D) for the nation, EPA Regions, States, industry sectors, and Federal
facilities to assist in identifying potential waste minimization opportunities to reduce these
chemicals (see Sections 3, 4, and 5).
EPA uses the Trends Report as a tool for identifying opportunities to reduce these PCs in concert with
the objectives of the RCC, including assisting EPA in identifying potential partners to voluntarily
participate in the NPEP program. The data and trends analyses developed for this report will serve as a
valuable tool in support of this program and assist in our effort to better understand trends in the

generation and management of the PCs, assess chemical reduction priorities, and identify opportunities
for eliminating or reducing the PCs.
What does this Report Cover and how is it Organized?
Of the 31 chemicals identified by EPA as PCs, 24 chemicals are reported to the Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI), required under EPCRA § 313. However, since EPA monitors the management of
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) under a separate initiative, only 23 of the TRI-reportable chemicals
are tracked for the purposes of this Trends Report, including ef measuring progress toward our GPRA
goal (Exhibit 1.1). The remaining 7 PCs, not reported to TRI, are not currently tracked.
In Section 2 of this report, we evaluate the progress made toward achieving OSW's national GPRA
goal of a 10 percent reduction of 23 PCs in waste by 2008, compared to the baseline quantity in 2001.
In addition, this report includes a final update concerning the progress made in achieving the original
goal of a 50 percent reduction of 17 of the PCs, compared to a 1991 baseline year.
Aside from showing progress made toward reducing the quantities of the PCs, per strategic goals, we
also monitor waste generation and management trends for the PCs - to identify potential opportunities
in PC reductions. As such, this Trends report presents updated analyses of the generation and
management of the 23 PCs contained in wastes for the most recent 5 years of TRI data (1999 to 2003)
under sections 3, 4, & 5.
Section 3 provides an overview of the national, EPA Region, State, and industry sector aggregated
quantities of 23 PCs, for which data is reported to TRI for the 1999 through 2003 TRI reporting years.
We focus on these five most current years of TRI data to facilitate the identification of viable potential
opportunities for reducing or eliminating PCs. The data presented in this section was derived using the
2008 GPRA methodology (see discussion in Section 2 and Appendix C) and focuses on trends for the
PCs, as a whole.
Section 4 of this Trends Report presents national, EPA Region, state, and industry sector (SIC code)
trends for each of the 23 PC reported to TRI. Basic information regarding the PC, including its CAS
number, alternative names, general uses, and potential hazards also is presented.
Section 5 of this Trends Report analyzes Federal Facilities at the national, EPA Region, state, and
industry sector levels. Categorization by Federal Agency also is included.
Several appendices also are included:
• Appendix A provides a list of the states within each EPA region.
• Appendix B shows a list of the Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes.
• The methodologies (original and revised) developed to calculate PC quantities are provided in
Appendix C.
• Tables with detailed data (too extensive for inclusion in the main text), concerning trends, are
included in Appendix D.
• The Index of exhibits, under Appendix E, provides a reference guide to the reader.

For the purposes of developing this list of 31 chemicals, endosulfan alpha and endosulfan beta were
counted together and Heptachlor and Heptachlor epoxide were counted together. Also, each of the
three metals (lead, cadmium, and mercury) is combined with its associated metal compounds and
addressed as a single Priority Chemical in this report. For example, Lead and Lead Compounds are
addressed as a single Priority Chemical. Only the weight of the metal portion of metal compounds is
reported to TRI.
*Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are on the list of PCs and are reported to TRI but this chemical is
not included in this Trends report because EPA monitors the management of PCBs under a separate
initiative.
What is the Source of the Data Used in this Report?
For this report, we use the TRI data as the source of information to analyze and identify trends
regarding the extent to which PC quantities have increased or decreased over time, the EPA Regions
and States where each of these PCs are generated, and the industry sectors that generate/manage these
chemicals. The TRI is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on more than 650
toxic chemicals that are being used, manufactured, treated, transported, released into the environment,
or recycled. This information is reported annually and reviewed and updated, on an on-going basis, to
reflect corrections made to reported data.'
The TRI covers a wide variety of industry sectors, including those in manufacturing (i.e., Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39). These industry sectors account for more than 90
percent of the hazardous waste generated in the U.S.2'3 Facilities in the Manufacturing sectors (SIC
Data for each year are published within approximately 18 months following the end of the reporting year. For example,
data for reporting year 2003 (deadline for reporting to TRI was July 1, 2004) were published May 11, 2005.
Studies conducted in the early 1990s to determine whether TRI quantities were representative of RCRA waste concluded
that the TRI covers a large portion of the hazardous waste generated in the U.S. For additional information on these studies
and their findings, refer to Bhatnagar, S., and B C. Murray; Efforts to Link the Biennial Reporting System (BRS) and the
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (prepared for EPA's Office of Solid Waste); 1997.
A study conducted in 1995 found that more than 93 percent of hazardous waste was generated at facilities also covered
under the TRI. For additional information on this study, refer to INFORM, Inc.; Toxics Watch 1995; 1995.

codes 20 through 39) have been required to report to the TRI since its inception. Beginning with
reporting year 1994, Federal facilities also have been required to report to the TRI. A further expansion
of the TRI reporting sectors occurred in 1998 when the following seven sectors were added - Metal
Mining (SIC code 10, except 1011, 1081, and 1094), Coal Mining (SIC code 12, except 1241),
Electrical Utilities that Combust Coal (SIC codes 4911, 4931, and 4939), RCRA Subtitle C Hazardous
Waste Treatment and Disposal Facilities (SIC code 4953), Chemical Wholesalers (SIC code 5169),
Petroleum Terminals and Bulk Stations (SIC code 5171), and Solvent Recovery Services (SIC code
7389). It should be noted facilities in additional industry sectors also report to TRI even though they
are not necessarily required to do so. The database developed for use in this Trends Report includes all
facilities, regardless of SIC code (except as noted in the methodology (see Appendix C), that reported a
PC quantity to TRI for reporting years 1998-2003.
What Measurement Methodology was used for this Report?
Generators report information to the TRI on a chemical-specific basis, rather than by hazardous waste
stream. Although data reported to TRI includes quantities of chemicals that are contained in the waste,
it does not necessarily provide a distinction between hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste.
OSW developed a measurement methodology4 (see Appendix C) to extract the applicable data from the
TRI database to calculate PC quantities and estimate what portion of the chemical quantity reported to
TRI is likely to be found in hazardous waste versus non-hazardous industrial wastes.
With the declaration of a new GPRA goal by which to reduce the presence of PCs in waste, we revised
the original methodology that had been used to calculate PC quantities for the 2005 GPRA goal. The
revised methodology differs from the original methodology in that it addresses:
• An expanded number of PCs; 23 versus 17 PCs;
• Both hazardous and non-hazardous industrial wastes;
• Additional industry sectors (that began reporting to TRI in 1998);
• Additional reporting facilities and increased quantities of PCs resulting from lowered TRI
reporting thresholds that became effective in 2000 and 2001; and
• Bevill-exempt wastes that we believe currently pose minimal opportunities for waste
minimization of the PCs.
Except for the discussion in Section 2 that provides an update on the progress made toward reducing
PCs in hazardous waste per the original 2005 GPRA goal, the data used in this Trends report -
pertaining to the 2008 GPRA goal and all other trends analyses - were derived using the revised
measurement methodology.
How EPA Assures the Quality of the Data Used in this Trends Report
It is important to ensure that the TRI data used in the measurement methodology is accurate.
Otherwise, errors in the data could lead to incorrect interpretation of trends. Primary responsibility for
quality of the TRI data rests with the Office of Environmental Information (OEI). We primarily rely on
the OEI data quality checks and the ever-improving TRI-ME reporting software to minimize mistakes
in the TRI data used for the Priority Chemicals database. The TRI Program takes several steps to ensure
the quality of their data, including examining a sample of individual reports for potential errors.
However, undetected reporting errors may still occur.
For the subset of TRI data that the Office of Solid Waste uses to develop the Priority Chemicals
database, it is sometimes necessary to supplement the OEI data quality checks - to ensure that there are
A
Please note that the methodology used in developing this Trends Report may differ from the methodology used by the TRI
program to show trends for the EPCRA section 313 chemicals in the annual TRI Public Data Release.
18
-------
no significant discrepancies in the more limited universe of facilities associated with the Priority
Chemicals - discrepancies that may not necessarily have been included in the broader OEI data quality
checks but that could potentially skew the trends and analyses for the Priority Chemicals. The purpose
of these supplemental data quality checks is to identify those changes in the quantity of a priority
chemical reported to TRI, over two consecutive reporting years, which are of sufficient magnitude to
potentially have a significant affect on the trends analysis for that priority chemical. To the extent
feasible, time and resources permitting, these data checks are employed to further identify significant
changes for possible follow-up verification of the Priority Chemical quantities reported by a given
facility. These errors may not always be very noticeable in aggregated quantities at national, state, or
even industry sector-level analyses, but they can have a major effect when looking at trends at the
facility level, especially for those chemicals reported by only a small number of facilities or by a
relatively few number of facilities that account for a large portion of the total quantity of the Priority
Chemical. Once we complete the supplemental data checks and incorporate any changes to the
database, we "freeze" the database and proceed to develop the Microsoft Access tables and queries
needed to analyze the Priority Chemicals trends. Once the database is frozen, it is not modified to
incorporate any TRI reporting errors subsequently identified. We depend on the Office of
Environmental Information to include them in the next year's TRI dataset. Of course, these reporting
errors will only be reflected in the new TRI dataset if the reporting facility had submitted a revised TRI
Form R to EPA.
Additional details concerning the steps taken in this process are provided in Appendix C.
Seven of the PCs are not reported to TRI (Exhibit 1.1). Currently, we do not have a readily available
means by which to track the generation and management of these 7 PCs. EPA is considering further
development of a methodology that would extract information from the RCRA Hazardous Waste
Biennial Report (BR) data for use in analyzing trends regarding the generation and management of
these 7 PCs. A description of each of these 7 PCs and their uses is provided at the end of Section 4.
Progress and What May Change in Next Year's Report?
In this Trends Report we discuss progress made toward both goals. We used a different measurement
methodology for each goal. These methodologies include differences such as the number of PCs
addressed, industry sectors included, and changes in TRI reporting thresholds for a certain number of
the chemicals. The current goal includes all 23 of the PCs reported to TRI; the previous goal only
included the 17 PCs that were reported to TRI in 1991. As such, it is not suitable to make comparisons
between the quantities for each of these goals.
We also included graphics that assist the reader in visually interpreting the data. Maps of facilities
illustrate the distribution of PC quantities reported. Trends in specific PC quantities reported between
1999 and 2003 are graphed over their respective states.
In addition to these new items, OSW plans to include more analyses in next year's report. Such items
may include the transition from SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) to NAICS (North American
Industrial Classification System) codes, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analyses, and
Biennial Report System (BRS) data. OSW may also focus efforts on analyzing the reasons behind the
trends, as well as including a section on Mercury and Mercury Compounds as a particularly high
agency priority.

Goals for the Priority Chemicals
-------
OSW Goals
This section discusses the progress that has been made toward reducing the quantity of the Priority
Chemicals (PCs) in wastes.
The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires the Agency to set strategic
goals, and to update them every 3 years. In 2004, OSW established a goal aiming for a 10 percent
reduction of an expanded list of PCs over a broad universe of wastes, using a 2001 baseline. This goal
includes an expanded list of PCs and additional segments of the TRI reporting universe and, as such,
identifies new opportunities for reducing PCs.
Previous Trends Reports presented progress toward OSW's PCs goal published in the Agency's last
Strategic Plan. This goal was to attain a 50 percent reduction of 17 PCs by 2005, using the baseline
year of 1991. EPA achieved this goal as of the 2001 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting year,
with a 52 percent reduction in the quantity of the 17 PCs in wastes (Exhibit 2.10). This will be our last
report on our success in achieving our previous goal.

the year 2008. Exhibit 2.3 shows the quantities of each of the 23 PCs that were reported to the TRI for
2001 through 2003 and the percent reduction from 2001 to 2003. As of 2003, there was a 5.7 percent
reduction in the total quantity of PCs contained in wastes, compared to the quantities generated in
2001, with approximately half of the PCs having decreased.

Progress by Industry Sector. Five industry sectors, as shown in Exhibit 2.8, accounted for over 50 percent of
the total quantity of the PCs. From 2001-2003, three of the industry sectors (Industrial Organic chemicals nee,
Secondary Nonferrous metals, and Carbon Black) had a significant increase in quantity of PCs, one industry
sector (Alkalies and Chlorine) saw a significant decrease, and the remaining sector's (Blast Furnaces and Steel
Mills) quantity was virtually unchanged.

The Previous GPRA Goal (1991-2003)
What Progress did OSW make toward the previous GPRA Goal? Between 1991 and 2003, the total quantity of
these 17 PCs measured in OSW's previous goal declined by 59.4 percent. Over this period of time, the overall
trend has been a steady reduction in the quantity of these PCs, and as of 2001, the 2005 goal of a 50 percent
reduction was met. Exhibit 2.9 shows the total quantity of these 17 PCs that were reported to the TRI since
1991, for each year from 1991 through 2003. For a discussion of how these quantities are calculated, refer to

Overall Trends Analyses for the Priority Chemicals
(1999-2003)
-------
Introduction
This section provides an overview of the national, EPA Region, State, and industry sector quantities
(aggregated) of the 23 Priority Chemicals (PCs), for which data is reported to Toxics Release Inventory
(TR1) for the 1999 through 2003 TRI reporting years. We focus on these five most current years of TRI
data to facilitate the identification of viable, potential opportunities for reducing or eliminating PCs.
The data presented in this section were derived using the 2008 GPRA methodology (see discussion in
Appendix C) and focuses on trends for the PCs, as a whole. A discussion of the trends for individual
PCs is presented in Section 4.
National Trends for the Priority Chemicals
Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 show the total quantity of PCs from 1999 through 2003 as well as the number of
facilities reporting these chemicals. In 2000 and, again in 2001, both the quantity and number of
reporting facilities increased compared to 1999. The increases in 2000 were likely due to TRI reporting
thresholds that were lowered for a number of the PCs in 2000 (see Exhibit 3.2) and also the initial
reporting of three chemicals (benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dioxin/dioxin-like compounds, and
pentachlorobenzene). Most of the increased quantity and number of facilities in 2001 likely can be
attributed to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds. Since 2001, the total
quantity of PCs has decreased and leveled to approximately 79 million pounds.

Exhibit 3.3 shows the total quantity of each PC reported in 1999-2003. In 2003, four PCs (lead and lead
compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds, naphthalene, and hexachloro-1,3-butadiene) comprised
about 82 percent of the total national PC quantity. Lead and lead compounds consistently have
accounted for the majority of the total national PC quantity ~ comprise over 46 percent of the total
quantity of the PCs in 2003. Nearly 13 million pounds of polycyclic aromatic compounds accounted for
approximately 16 percent of the total national quantity of PCs in 2003.

Between 1999 and 2003, the total quantity of PCs increased by approximately 2.6 percent. Individual
chemicals with increases included— polycyclic aromatic compounds, lead and lead compounds,
phenanthrene, quintozene, 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene, and pendimethalin. The quantities of three PCs
(pentachlorobenzene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and dioxin/dioxin-like compounds), that have been reported
to TRI since 2000, also increased. Again, as noted above, the increased quantity of some of the PCs in
2000, as well as lead and lead compounds in 2001, may be due, in part to the lowering of the respective
TRI thresholds, likely resulting in additional facilities reporting to TRI and an increase in reported
quantities.
Exhibit 3.4 shows the number of facilities that reported each of the PCs from 1999-2003. Please note
that in this exhibit the total number of facilities, for any given year, differs from the total number of
facilities shown in Exhibit 3.2 because numerous facilities reported more than one PC.

Note: For some chemical quantities, a zero (0) was inserted for one or more of the following reasons: 1) Prior to 2000, benzo(g,h,i)perylene,
dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and Pentachlorobenzene were not reportable TRI quantities, 2) no quantity was reported to TRI, 3) based
on our rounding-off process, quantities reported to TRI as <0.5 Ibs are shown as zero quantity.
In 1999-2003, the PC quantity decreased for naphthalene, hexachoro-l,3-butadiene, hexachlorobenzene,
and hexachloroethane. Exhibit 3.5 shows, for each of the PCs in 2003, the number of facilities that
reported the PC within various quantity ranges. For most of the PCs, only a relatively small number of
facilities accounted for the majority of the total quantity reported. For example, of the 4,572 facilities
that reported a PC quantity of lead and lead compounds in 2003, only 5 facilities accounted for almost
30 percent of the total quantity and 71 facilities accounted for about 75 percent of the total quantity.

As previously discussed in Section 1, the total PC quantity is comprised of those quantities of the PCs
that are managed onsite/offsite via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery. Exhibit 3.6 shows the
national trends regarding the methods used to manage the PCs in 1999-2003. Disposal quantities,
especially onsite disposal, have increased. Overall, the total energy recovery quantity has remained
somewhat constant; with an increase of about 1.1 million pounds going to onsite energy recovery along
with a corresponding decrease of the offsite energy recovery quantity. There has been a decrease of
approximately 3.5 million pounds in the total treatment quantity - mostly offsite treatment. Recycling,
both onsite and offsite, has decreased by about 25 percent, compared to the 1999 quantities.
Nonetheless, it is apparent that a considerable percentage of the PCs has been and continues to be
recycled. EPA hopes to increase recycling of the PCs, to the extent feasible, rather than have them be
disposed, treated, or sent to energy recovery.

Exhibit 3.7 shows the trend (1999-2003) for recycling of the ten PCs with the largest quantities recycled
in 2003. In terms of total quantity, lead and lead compounds dominate, with almost 615 million pounds
recycled in 2003. However, since 1999, there has been a 25 percent drop in the recycling of lead and
lead compounds. Aside from lead and lead compounds, there also have been significant decreases in
recycling of PACs, anthracene, and mercury and mercury compounds. Since 1999, recycling increased
for 6 of these PCs: naphthalene, cadmium and cadmium compounds, phenanthrene, hexachlorobenzene,
hexachloroethane, and hexachoro-l,3-butadiene.

Exhibit 3.11 shows the number of facilities that reported the PCs in each Region from 1999-2003. As
noted in the previous discussion of national trends, the increased number of facilities reporting the PCs
in 2000 likely was due to lowered TRI reporting thresholds for a number of the PCs that became
effective in 2000 (see Exhibit 3.3), including the initial reporting of three chemicals
(benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dioxin/dioxin-like compounds, and pentachlorobenzene). The increase in 2001
likely can be attributed to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds. Since
2001, the number of facilities reporting the PCs has leveled off in each of the Regions.

Exhibit 3.16 shows the number of facilities reporting the PCs in each State/Territory from 1999-2003.
For the reasons previously noted, i.e., the initial reporting of three additional chemicals and reduced TRI
reporting thresholds for certain chemicals, the number of facilities increased in 2000 and 2001, and, in
general, leveled. In 2003, over 25 percent of the total number of reporting facilities were located in 4
states (Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and California) nearly 52 percent of the total number of reporting
facilities was located in 11 states.

Industry Sector Trends for the Priority Chemicals
In 2003, a PC quantity was reported by facilities in over 320 different SIC codes. Exhibit 3.19 presents
the PC quantities (from 1999-2003) for facilities in those 24 industry sectors (SICs) that accounted for
90 percent of the total quantity of PCs in 2003. Facilities in 5 industry sectors accounted for over 50
percent of the total quantity of the PCs in 2003 - SIC 3341- Secondary non-ferrous metals (16.3%), SIC
2869- Industrial organic chemicals nee (10.7%), SIC 3312-Blast furnaces and steel mills (10 %), SIC
2812- Alkalies and chlorine (9.4%), and SIC 2895- Carbon Black (95.1%).

Exhibits 3.20 and 3.21 compares the management methods employed for PCs in 1999 and 2003 - by
facilities in the industry sectors that accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity of PCs in 2003.
Please note that facilities in two industry sectors SIC 2895 - Carbon Black and SIC 2037- Frozen Fruits
and Vegetables that were included in the 2003 group of top industry sectors did not report any quantity
of PCs to TRI in 1999. The 2003 quantities for facilities in SIC 2895 can be attributed to the reduced
TRI reporting threshold for mercury and mercury compounds that became effective in 2000 and the
reporting of benzo(g,h,i)perylene that was required to be reported to TRI beginning in 2000. There were
no quantities of PCs reported by facilities in SIC 2037 in either 1999 or 2000. However, in 2001, one
facility in this industry sector, located in Maine, began reporting quantities of naphthalene and PACs.
Several observations from this Exhibit include:
Disposal
• Facilities in 2 of the ten industry sectors with a decreased disposal quantity reported decreases of
at least 1 million pounds: SIC 3334 - Primary Aluminum (-1.6 million pounds) and SIC 3312 -
Blast Furnaces and Steel Mills (-1.0 million pounds).
• Facilities in 13 of the 24 industry sectors reported an overall increase of more than 6.4 million
pounds of PCs. Facilities in 4 of these industry sectors accounted for most of this increase: SIC
3341- Secondary Nonferrous Metals (+5.6 million pounds), SIC 9711 - National Security (+2.6
million pounds), SIC 3321 - Gray and Ductile Iron Foundries (+1.5 million pounds), and SIC
2819 - Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, nee (+1.1 million pounds).
Treatment
• Facilities in 12 of these industry sectors reported an overall decrease of about 2.8 million pounds
of PCs going to treatment, mostly offsite. Facilities in 3 industry sectors accounted for the
majority of this decrease: SIC 2812 - Alkalies and Chlorine (- 9.9 million pounds), SIC 2819 -
Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, nee (- 2.2 million pounds), and SIC 2911 - Petroleum Refining
(- 1.5 million pounds).
• Facilities in 11 of the industry sectors reported an increase in treatment. Large increases were
reported by facilities in SIC 2869 - Industrial Organic Chemicals (+6.1 million pounds), SIC
3334 - Primary Aluminum (+2.1 million pounds), and SIC 3479 - Metal Coating and Allied
Services (+1.4 million pounds).
Energy Recovery
• Facilities in 8 of the industry sectors reported a decreased quantity of PCs going to energy
recovery. Most of the decrease was reported by facilities in 2 of these industry sectors SIC 3624
- Carbon and Graphite Products (- 2.4 million pounds) and SIC 2812- Alkalies and Chorine (-
1.3 million pounds).
• Overall, facilities in this group of 24 industry sectors reported an increase of nearly 1 million
pounds of PCs going to energy recovery. Facilities in 2 of the industry sectors: SIC 2895 -
Carbon Black (+3.4 million pounds) and SIC 2819 - Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, nee
(906,000 pounds) accounted for most of this increase.
Recycling
• Recycling decreased by over 200 million pounds for facilities in 13 of these industry sectors.
Facilities in 3 of these sectors accounted for most of the decrease: SIC 3341 - Secondary
Nonferrous Metals (- 99.5 million pounds), SIC 3691 - Storage Batteries (- 59 million pounds),
and SIC 3229 - Pressed and Blown Glass, nee (- 46 million pounds).
• Facilities in 2 of the industry sectors reported a large increase in recycling of the PCs: SIC 2869
- Industrial Organic Chemicals, nee (+10.9 million pounds) and SIC 3312 - Blast Furnaces and
Steel Mills (+2.1 million pounds).

Summary Analysis- 1,2,4 — Trichlorobenzene.
• 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene accounted for about 2.1 percent of the national total PC quantity
in 2003 with 1,674,271 pounds.
• There was a significant increase (over 20 percent) in reporting of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene
to TRI during the period 1999 to 2003.
• Eighteen facilities in 14 different SIC codes reported 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene to TRI in
2003.
• One of these 18 facilities, located in Region 6, accounted for 78 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical. Seven of the 18 facilities accounted for over 98 percent of the
total quantity.
• Five industry sectors (SIC codes) accounted for over 98 percent of the 1,2,4 -
trichlorobenzene in 2003.
• Facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) reported the highest quantities, accounting
for almost 78 percent of the total PC quantity of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene reported in
2003.
• Most of the 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene was treated, primarily onsite. Some energy recovery
also occurred. Overall, there was relatively little recycling of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene in
2003.
National Trends - 1,2,4 - Trichlorobenzene. Exhibit 4.2 shows that the number of facilities that
reported 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene from 1999-2003 was relatively constant, with 18 facilities
reporting in 2003. It also shows that, in 2003, there was an almost 21 percent increase in the
total PC quantity (pounds) of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene, compared to 1999. The methods used to
manage 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene, i.e., disposal, energy recovery, and treatment, have essentially
remained the same, with treatment used for almost 91 percent of the total quantity, fallowed by
energy recovery (8.1%) and disposal (1.0%). Exhibit 4.3 is a map that shows the facilities and
the distribution by quantity of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene reported in 2003. Of these 18 facilities
that reported 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene in 2003, one facility accounted for 78 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical; 7 of the 18 facilities accounted for over 98 percent of the total quantity
(Exhibit 4.4).

Exhibit 4.12 shows how 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene was managed by facilities in the five industry
sectors that accounted for over 90 percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2003. Most of the
1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene was treated, primarily onsite, within SIC 2812 - Alkalies and Chlorine
and SIC 9711 - National Security. Two of these industry sectors use onsite energy recovery for
their 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene. The SIC 2865 facilities primarily sent the 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene
to offsite treatment but also employed offsite disposal and onsite energy recovery. A relatively
small quantity of 1,2,4 - trichlorobenzene was recycled in 2003.

• Of the 37 facilities that reported anthracene in 2003, one facility accounted for over 64
percent of the total quantity of this chemical; 5 of the 37 facilities accounted for 90
percent of the total quantity.
• In 2003, about 88 percent of the anthracene was reported by facilities in Regions 4 and 5.
There was a sizable decrease in the PC quantity of anthracene reported by facilities in
Region 6.
• Although facilities in 20 states reported a PC quantity of anthracene in 2003, facilities in
9 of these states accounted for over 99 percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene.
Facilities in Kentucky, reported about 65 percent of the total quantity with an increase of
over 427 percent since 1999.
• Facilities in 5 industry sectors (SIC codes) accounted for over 99 percent of the PC
quantity of anthracene reported in 2003. One facility, in SIC 3334 (Primary Aluminum),
accounted for over 64 percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene.
National Trends - Anthracene. Exhibit 4.20 presents the total PC quantity (Ibs.) of anthracene in
1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as recycling quantities.
In 2003, anthracene accounted for about 0.5 percent of the total quantity of PCs. Although there
has been an increase in the number of facilities reporting anthracene, there has been a decrease (-
7.5%) in the PC quantity of anthracene reported from 1999 to 2003.
In 2003, there were significant changes regarding the usage of management methods for
anthracene. The quantity going to disposal had been declining since 1999 but increased
considerably in 2003. There also was a considerable increase in the treatment of anthracene.

State Trends- Anthracene. Exhibit 4.25 shows the quantity of anthracene in those states where
facilities report this chemical, between 1999 and 2003. Although facilities in 20 states reported a
PC quantity of anthracene in 2003, facilities in only 9 of these states accounted for over 99
percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene. Kentucky, with almost 65 percent of the total
quantity, had an increase of over 427 percent since 1999 (Exhibit 4.26). Facilities in Michigan,
with nearly 14 percent of the total quantity, only started reporting anthracene since 2002. Texas
facilities had a considerable decrease almost 240,000 pounds since 1999, a 90 percent decrease
(Exhibit 64). Notable decreases also occurred in Ohio (-86,942 pounds (-99.8%)), Louisiana (-
8,648 pounds, (-62.1%)), and West Virginia (-5,769 pounds, (-36.1%)).

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Anthracene. Exhibit 4.29 shows the PC quantity (pounds) of
anthracene for the five industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported over 99 percent of
this chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary Aluminum) reported the highest
quantities, accounting for over 64 percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene reported in
2003. One facility in this sector, located in Kentucky, reported over 99 percent of the quantity for
SIC 3334. This facility, reported 250 pounds in both 2001 and 2002; however, in 2003, their
reported quantity increased dramatically to almost 270,000 pounds. Compared to the quantities

Benzo(g,h,i)perylene
Chemical Information
CAS Number- 191-24-2
Alternate Names - 1,12-benzoperylene
General Uses - Benzo(g,h,i)perylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH ) that occurs
naturally in crude oils. It has no known commercial use or production. Emissions typically result
from petroleum refining, coal tar distillation, and the incomplete combustion of organic matter.
Potential Hazards - Unknown at this time. Although some PAHs have caused tumors in
laboratory animals, benzo(g,h,i) perylene has not been shown to have a cancer concern. This
chemical was added to the TRI based on its ecotoxicity.
Summary Analysis- Benzo(g,h,i)perylene
• Benzo(g,h,i)perylene has been reported to TRI since 2000. In 2003, benzo(g,h,i)perylene
accounted for about 0.4 percent of the total quantity of PCs, with a total of 315,282
pounds. Since 2000, there has been about an 85 percent decrease in the PC quantity of
benzo(g,h,i)perylene.
• Since 2000, energy recovery has been the primary management method used for
benzo(g,h,i)perylene.
• Eight of the 364 facilities that reported benzo(g,h,i)perylene in 2003 accounted for 78
percent of the total quantity.
• Facilities in EPA Regions 3, 4, and 6 accounted for over 86 percent of the
benzo(g,h,i)perylene reported in 2003. Over 80 percent of the benzo(g,h,i)perylene was
reported by facilities in 5 states (Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Texas, and West
Virginia).
• Facilities in 6 industry sectors (SIC codes) accounted for over 90 percent of
benzo(g,h,i)perylene reported in 2003. Facilities in SIC 3624 (Carbon and graphite
products) reported about 52 percent of the total PC quantity of benzo(g,h,i)perylene.
National Trends - Benzo(g,h,i)perylene. Exhibit 4.32 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
benzo(g,h,i)perylene in 2000 to 2003 1, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as
well as recycling quantities. Please note that data for 1999 is not included for
benzo(g,h,i)perylene because this chemical only was reported to TRI beginning in 2000. In
2003, benzo(g,h,i)perylene accounted for about 0.4 percent of the total quantity of PCs. There
has been approximately an 85 percent decrease in the quantity of benzo(g,h,i)perylene reported
from 2000 to 2003, although the quantity has been somewhat constant the last two years - a little
over 300,000 pounds. Since 2000, Energy recovery has been the primary management method
Some facilities may have mistakenly reported on their TRI Form R the threshold quantity of Benzo(g,h,i)perylene,
contained in fuel oil, as a quantity released or as a quantity treated onsite. As such, over-reporting of quantities
released to the environment or treated, for these chemicals, may mean that the PC quantity is likewise over-stated.
It is important to note that TRI chemicals in fuels that are destroyed during the combustion process are not
considered treated. TRI chemicals are only considered treated if they are part of a waste stream and are then
managed as a waste. EPA has notified reporters of these potential problems. As facilities submit corrected TRI
Form Rs to correct any such over-reporting of this chemical, the PC quantities may decrease in subsequent updates
of this Trends Report.

used for benzo(g,h,i)perylene. In 2003, disposal and treatment were used equally to manage
benzo(g,h,i)perylene. Recycling of benzo(g,h,i)perylene decreased significantly in 2003.

-------
Exhibit 4.36 shows how Benzo(g,h,i)perylene was managed by facilities within each EPA
Region in 2003. Most of the PC quantity of Benzo(g,h,i)perylene was managed using onsite
energy recovery, particularly by facilities in Region 4. Energy recovery also was the primary
method for managing Benzo(g,h,i)perylene in Regions 1,4, 6, and 8. Facilities in Region 2
primarily used treatment, while facilities in Regions 3, 7, 9, and 10 sent most of their
Benzo(g,h,i)perylene to land disposal. Region 5 facilities equally used treatment and disposal.
Most of the recycling of Benzo(g,h,i)perylene was done by facilities in Region 6.

State Trends- Benzo(g,h,i)perylene. Although facilities in 43 states reported a PC quantity of
benzo(g,h,i)perylene in 2003, facilities in 8 of these states reported over 90 percent of the total
quantity (Exhibit 4.37). Tennessee facilities, with over 48 percent of the total quantity of
benzo(g,h,i)perylene, had an decrease of almost 92 percent since 2000 (Exhibit 4.38). Facilities
in several other states, including West Virginia (Exhibit 4.38), Ohio, and New York, also had
decreased quantities in 2003. In Pennsylvania, the 2003 quantity of benzo(g,h,i)perylene more
than tripled. Michigan facilities reported only a very small quantity of benzo(g,h,i)perylene from
2000-2002, but saw a dramatic increase to almost 10,000 pounds in 2003.

Recycling. Exhibit 4.43 provides some indication of the extent to which facilities in certain
industry sectors recycled at least 100 pounds of benzo(g,h,i) perylene in 1999-2003, rather than
manage it as a waste. For those year(s), the facility did not report a PC quantity, i.e., a quantity
managed via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment.

Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds
Chemical Information
CAS Number - 7440-43-9
General Uses - Cadmium, used in this country, is obtained as a by-product from melting zinc,
lead, or copper ores. The cadmium by-product is used in metal plating and to make pigments,
batteries and plastics.
Potential Hazards - Cadmium and its salts are. highly toxic. Breathing high levels of cadmium
severely damages the lungs and can cause death.
Summary Analysis- Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds
• In 2003, cadmium and cadmium compounds accounted for about 1 percent of the total
quantity of PCs, with a total of 817,579 pounds. There was approximately a 26 percent
decrease in the PC quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds reported from 1999 to
2003.
• Eleven of the 67 facilities that reported cadmium and cadmium compounds in 2003
accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity. One facility accounted for almost 46
percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
• Virtually the entire quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds was land disposed.
• Over 90 percent of cadmium and cadmium compounds was reported by facilities in 4
Regions (Regions 3, 4, 6, and 10). Facilities in Region 6 accounted for over 47 percent
of the total quantity.
• Facilities in 29 states reported a PC quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds in
2003. Facilities in 8 of these states reported over 90 percent of the total quantity in 2003
with 1 facility in Oklahoma accounting for over 45 percent of the total quantity.
• Six industry sectors (SIC codes) accounted for over 90 percent of cadmium and cadmium
compounds reported in 2003. Facilities in SIC 3341 (Secondary nonferrous metals)
reported the highest quantities, accounting for 53 percent of the total priority. Most of
this quantity was reported by one facility, located in Oklahoma, with about 86 percent of
the cadmium and cadmium compounds for this industry sector.
National Trends - Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds. Exhibit 4.44 shows that the number of
facilities that reported cadmium and cadmium compounds from 1999 through 2003 has been
relatively constant, with 67 facilities reporting in 2003. It also shows that, in 2003, there was an
almost 26 percent decrease in the total PC quantity (pounds) of cadmium and cadmium
compounds, compared to 1999. Virtually all of the cadmium and cadmium compounds was sent
to land disposal.

State Trends- Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds. Facilities in 29 states reported a PC
quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds in 2003. Exhibit 4.49 shows the quantity of
cadmium and cadmium compounds reported by facilities, in those 8 states with facilities that
accounted for over 90 percent of the total quantity in 2003. One facility in Oklahoma reported
over 45 percent of the total quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds. Although facilities
in Idaho reported 13 percent of the total quantity in 2003, there was a decrease of over 77
percent, compared to the 1999 quantity. Facilities in Florida, South Carolina, Indiana, and
Maryland had significant increases, compared to 2002 quantities. Maryland, in particular, had a
considerable increase since 1999 - from 69 pounds to almost 67,000 pounds. (Exhibit 4.50).

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds. Exhibit 4.53 shows the PC
quantity (pounds) of cadmium and cadmium compounds for the six industry sectors (SIC codes)
where facilities reported over 90 percent of this chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 3341
(Secondary nonferrous metals) reported the highest quantities, accounting for 53 percent of the
total PC quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds reported in 2003. This industry sector
had a significant increase compared to quantities reported in both the 1999 and 2002. About 86
percent of this SIC 3341 quantity was reported by one facility, located in Oklahoma. Facilities in
SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee) industry sector reported the second highest
quantity of cadmium and cadmium compounds in 2003 but has experienced a steady decline in
the quantity since 2000. Except for SIC 2824 (Organic fibers, noncellulosic), the other 5 top
industry sectors reporting cadmium and cadmium compounds had an increased quantity in 2003.

from coal tar and has been found in coke dust, grate ash, fly ash and flame soot.
Potential Hazards - This chemical can cause skin, eye, nose and throat irritation.
Summary Analysis- Dibenzofuran
• In 2003, the 75,605 pounds of dibenzofuran accounted for about 0.1 percent of the total
quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there was a 36.4 percent decrease in the quantity of
dibenzofuran. The number of facilities that reported dibenzofuran from 1999 to 2003 has
remained relatively constant, with 12 facilities reporting this chemical in 2003.
• There have been significant changes, from one year to the next, regarding the usage of
management methods for dibenzofuran. Use of disposal, energy recovery, and treatment
methods have varied considerably with no obvious trend. In 2003, over 87 percent of the
dibenzofuran was land disposed.
• Of the 12 facilities that reported dibenzofuran in 2003, two facilities accounted for 84
percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
• Dibenzofuran was reported by facilities in only 3 Regions in 2003. In 2003, almost 78
percent of the dibenzofuran was reported by facilities in Regions 5.
• Although facilities in 10 states reported a PC quantity of dibenzofuran in 2003, facilities
in 5 of these states accounted for over 99 percent of the total PC quantity of
dibenzofuran. One facility, in Michigan, which only began reporting dibenzofuran in
2003, accounted for almost 69 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2003.
• Facilities in three industry sectors (SIC codes) accounted for over 99 percent of this
chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) reported the
highest quantities, accounting for almost 93 percent of the total quantity.
National Trends - Dibenzofuran. Exhibit 4.56 presents the total PC quantity (Ibs.) of
dibenzofuran in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as
recycling quantities. In 2003, the 75,605 pounds of dibenzofuran accounted for about 0.1
percent of the total quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there has been a 36.4 percent decrease in the
quantity of dibenzofuran. The number of facilities that reported dibenzofuran from 1999 to 2003
has remained relatively constant, with 12 facilities reporting this chemical in 2003.
Since 1999, there have been significant yearly changes regarding the usage of management
methods for dibenzofuran. Use of disposal, energy recovery, and treatment methods have varied
considerably with no obvious trend. In 2003, over 87 percent of the dibenzofuran was land
disposed. Recycling of dibenzofuran reached a peak in 2001 and has since declined.

EPA Region Trends- Dibenzofuran. Exhibit 4.58 shows the quantity (pounds) of dibenzofuran in
the 4 EPA Regions where facilities reported this chemical between 1999 and 2003.
Dibenzofuran was reported in 1999-2000 by facilities in only 4 EPA Regions, and only 3
Regions in 2003 (Exhibit 4.59). In 2003, almost 78 percent of the dibenzofuran was reported by
facilities in Regions 5. However, in Region 5, the quantity of this chemical has decreased
significantly - not only compared to the 1999 quantity but even more so, the 2002 quantity. The
decommissioning of a facility, located in Ohio, is believed to be the reason for the significant
increase of dibenzofuran for this industry sector in 2002. Facilities in Region 3 reported over
15,000 pounds of the dibenzofuran in 2003, accounting for about 20 percent of the total quantity.
This quantity represented a significant increase from quantities of dibenzofuran reported in
previous years 1999 - 2002.

Exhibit 4.60 shows how dibenzofuran was managed by facilities within each of the 3 EPA
Regions that reported this chemical in 2003. Almost 98 percent of the PC quantity of
94
-------
dibenzofuran in Region 5 was sent to offsite land disposal. Facilities in Region 4 used energy
recovery for about 50 percent of their quantity of dibenzofuran. Region 3 facilities used both
disposal and treatment. A notable quantity of dibenzofuran was recycled by Region 5 facilities.

State Trends- Dibenzofuran. Although facilities in 10 states reported a PC quantity of
dibenzofuran in 2003, facilities in 5 of these states accounted for over 99 percent of the total PC
quantity of dibenzofuran. Exhibit 4.61 shows the quantity of dibenzofuran that was reported by
facilities in these 5 states in 1999-2003. One facility, in Michigan (Exhibit 4.62), which only
began reporting dibenzofuran in 2003, accounted for almost 69 percent of the total quantity of
this chemical in 2003. One facility in West Virginia had over a 400 percent increase in 2003,
compared to 1999, with most of the increase occurring between 2002 and 2003. In Illinois, the
quantity of dibenzofuran has decreased by over 36 percent (Exhibit 4.62).

Exhibit 4. 63 shows how dibenzofuran was managed by facilities in the 5 states that accounted
for over 99 percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2003. Most of the dibenzofuran reported by
facilities in Michigan and Illinois was sent to offsite land disposal. Both offsite land disposal
and onsite/offsite treatment were used by West Virginia facilities. Almost 78 percent of the
dibenzofuran from Pennsylvania facilities was sent to offsite treatment with the remainder to
offsite disposal. Alabama facilities sent their dibenzofuran to offsite energy recovery (58%) and
to offsite treatment (42%). Relatively little recycling of dibenzofuran occurred in 2003.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Dibenzofuran. Exhibit 4.65 shows the PC quantity (pounds) of
dibenzofuran for the three industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported over 99 percent
of this chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) reported the
highest quantities, accounting for almost 93 percent of the total PC quantity of dibenzofuran
reported in 2003. The decommissioning of a SIC 2865 facility, located in Ohio, is believed to be
reason for the significant increase of dibenzofuran for this industry sector in 2002. In 2003,
facilities in this industry sector had a decrease of over 40 percent, compared to the 1999 quantity.
Compared to the quantities reported in 1999, there was a significant increase (+474%) in the
quantity of dibenzofuran reported in 2003 by facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast Furnaces and steel
mills). Also, facilities in SIC 3272 (Concrete products, nee) only began reporting dibenzofuran
in 2002.

Exhibit 4.66 shows how dibenzofuran was managed by the 9 facilities in the 3 industry sectors
that accounted for over 99 percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2003. Most of the
dibenzofuran was land disposed, primarily offsite, particularly within SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes
and intermediates). The majority of the dibenzofuran reported by facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast
Furnaces and steel mills) was sent to offsite treatment. Land Disposal (onsite and offsite) also
was the primary method for managing dibenzofuran within SIC 3272 - Concrete products, nee.
Very little recycling of dibenzofuran was reported by facilities in these industry sectors in 2003.

industry sectors recycled at least 100 pounds of dibenzofuran in 1999-2003, rather than manage
it as a waste. For those year(s), the facility did not report a PC quantity, i.e., a quantity managed
via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment.

Dioxin and Dioxin-Like Compounds
Chemical Information.
"Dioxins" refers to a group of chemical compounds that share similar chemical and biological
properties. These toxic compounds are members of closely related families: the chlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs) and chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs).
General Uses - CDDs and CDFs are not commercially produced except in small quantities for
chemical analyses and toxicological research. CDDs and CDFs are formed as unwanted
byproducts when chlorinated materials are involved in combustion or other high-temperature
processes, such as waste incineration, energy generation, metallurgical processes, chemical
manufacturing and other industrial processes. Energy generation sources of CDD/CDF releases
include the combustion of coal, oil, and wood. Other high-temperature sources include Portland
cement production, pulp mills using the kraft process, asphalt mixing plants, catalyst
regeneration at petroleum refineries, and carbon reactivation furnaces. Metallurgical processes
that may release CDD/CDFs include ferrous sources such as iron ore sintering, coke production,
and the production of steel in electric arc furnaces from scrap feed. Secondary aluminum,
copper, and lead smelters may also be sources of CDD/CDFs. CDDs and CDFs can also be
formed as unintended byproducts of manufacturing processes. For example, they are generated
in pulp and paper mills during chlorine bleaching.
Potential Hazards - Dioxins and furans can cause a number of health effects. The most well
known member of the dioxins/furans family is 2,3,7,8 TCDD which is a known human
carcinogen (National Toxicology Program — NTP). Also, high doses of dioxin have caused a
skin disease called chloracne.
Summary Analysis - Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds
• Reporting for dioxins began in 2000. In 2003, the 700 pounds of dioxins accounted for
less than 0.1 percent of the total quantity of PCs. There has been approximately a 17
percent decrease in the quantity of dioxins reported from 2000 to 2003. Much of the
increase in 2003 was due to over 300 pounds of dioxins (contained in used telephone
poles /wood wastes) reported by a wood preserving facility in Louisiana.
• In 2003, land disposal (60.0%) was the primary management method used for dioxins,
followed by treatment (39.7%). These management method percentages are heavily
influenced by the quantity reported by the Louisiana facility noted above. Previous to
2003, dioxins were managed primarily by treatment (90%), followed by disposal (less
than 10%).
• Although 373 facilities reported dioxins in 2003, only 33 facilities accounted for 99
percent of the dioxins reported in 2003, Eight of these facilities accounted for over 89
percent of the total quantity of this chemical. One facility accounted for over 45 percent
of the total dioxins quantity reported in 2003.
• Over 84 percent of the dioxins were reported by facilities in Regions 6. Facilities in 3
states (Louisiana, Texas, and Michigan) reported almost 93 percent of the PC quantity of
dioxins in 2003. Facilities in Louisiana reported almost 65 percent of the total quantity.
• Facilities in SIC 2491 (Wood Preserving) and SIC 2869 (Industrial Organic chemicals,
nee) reported the highest quantities.

National Trends - Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds (Dioxins). Exhibit 4.68 presents the total
PC quantity (pounds) of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds (hereafter simply referred to as
dioxins) in 2000 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as recycling
quantities. Please note that data for 1999 is not included because this chemical only was
reported to TRI beginning in 2000. In 2003, the 700 pounds of dioxins accounted for less than
0.1 percent of the total quantity of PCs. There has been approximately a 17 percent decrease in
the quantity of dioxins reported from 2000 to 2003. Much of the increase in 2003 was due to
over 300 pounds of dioxins (contained in used telephone poles /wood wastes) reported by a
wood preserving facility in Louisiana. This facility had reported much smaller quantities in
previous years (2000-2002). In 2003, land disposal (60.0%) was the primary management
method used for dioxins, followed by treatment (39.7%). These management method
percentages are heavily influenced by the quantity reported by the Louisiana facility noted
above. Previous to 2003, dioxins were managed primarily by treatment (90%), followed by
disposal (less than 10%).

* The larger number represents the total number of facilities that reported a PC quantity of Dioxins. The smaller number, in
parenthesis, indicates the number of facilities that are the focus of this Trends Report, i.e., those facilities that reported 1 pound
(rounded) or more of Dioxins that were reported as being managed via land disposal, treatment, or energy recovery. As such, the
quantities shown are for the indicated smaller number of facilities.
** Facilities report dioxin and dioxin-like compounds to TRI in grams. The reporting threshold for dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds is 0.1 grams, which is but a fraction of a pound. For the purposes of this National Trends Report, we converted the
quantities to pounds and rounded to the nearest whole pound. Therefore, this Trends Report focuses only on quantities of dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds that are equal to or greater than 1 pound. In making this calculation for the purpose of tracking
reductions we do not intend to minimize dioxin in smaller quantities which are of considerable concern.
Exhibit 4.69 shows the number of facilities that reported dioxins within various quantity ranges.
As previously noted, although 373 facilities reported dioxins in 2003, only 33 facilities,
accounting for 99 percent of the dioxins reported in 2003, are represented in this Exhibit. Eight
of these facilities accounted for over 89 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. One
facility, noted above, accounted for over 45 percent of the total dioxins quantity reported in
2003.

(pounds) of Dioxins for the EPA Regions where facilities reported this PC in 2000-2003. In
2003, over 84 percent of the dioxins were reported by facilities in Regions 6. Even discounting
the anomaly quantity reported by the wood preserving facility in Louisiana facilities in Region 6
have consistently reported the largest quantity of dioxins since 2000. Several Regions' facilities
had decreased quantities, compared to the quantity reported in 2000. Facilities in Region 8
virtually eliminated dioxins in 2003, compared to the quantities reported in 2001 and 2002.

Exhibit 4.72 shows how dioxins were managed by facilities within each EPA Region in 2003.
Most of the PC quantity of dioxins was managed using offsite disposal, particularly by facilities
in Region 6. Again, the "out of the ordinary" quantity of dioxins reported as sent to offsite
disposal by a wood preserving facility in Louisiana had a strong influence on the total quantity
reported as well as the management method used. Otherwise, prior to 2003, treatment was the
primary method used to manage dioxins. No recycling of dioxins was reported in 2003.

Exhibit 4.75 shows how dioxins were managed by facilities in the 3 states that had almost 93
percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2003. Most of the PC quantity of dioxins was managed
using offsite disposal, particularly by facilities in Region 6. Again, the "out of the ordinary"

quantity of dioxins reported as sent to offsite disposal by a wood preserving facility in Louisiana
had a strong influence on the total quantity reported as well as the management method used.
Otherwise, treatment was the primary method used to manage dioxins. Recycling is not a viable
alternative for dioxins; no recycling of dioxins was reported in 2003.

Heptachlor
Chemical Information
Heptachlor is an organochlorine insecticide produced by the chlorination of chlordane. It is a
white powder that smells like mothballs. Heptachlor was first registered in the U.S. in 1952 for
use as a general insecticide on a wide range of agricultural crops. Heptachlor was also used for
home and garden insect control, for termite control, and as a seed treatment. In 1974, EPA
issued a Notice of Intent to Cancel all registered uses of heptachlor except those for subterranean
termite control and dipping of non-food plants. In March 1978, most other uses of heptachlor
were canceled.
CAS Number - 76-44-8
Alternate Names -l,4,5,6,7,8-Heptachloro-3a, 4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-ethanoindene,
Heptachlorane
General Use - Heptachlor is now severely restricted and is presently only used in the U.S. to
control fire ants in buried, pad-mounted electric power transformers and in underground cable
television and telephone cable boxes.
Potential Hazards - Heptachlor is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or
absorbed through the skin.
Summary Analysis - Heptachlor
• No quantity of heptachlor was reported for 1999 through 2001. In 2002 and 2003, only
small quantities were reported, 67 pounds and 54 pounds, respectively. Only two
facilities reported heptachlor in 2002; one facility in 2003.
• Heptachlor was only reported by 1 facility in Region 2 (New Jersey) in both 2002 and
2003 and by 1 facility in Region 6 (Arkansas) in 2002.
• One facility in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) accounted for 100 percent of
the reported heptachlor in 2003.
• In 2003, the one reporting facility treated most (85%) of the heptachlor onsite; onsite land
disposal (15%) also was used. No recycling of heptachlor was reported in 2003.
National Trends - Heptachlor. Exhibit 4.79 presents the total PC quantity (Ibs.) of heptachlor in
1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as recycling quantities.
No quantity of heptachlor was reported for 1999 through 2001. In 2002 and 2003, only small
quantities were reported, 67 pounds and 54 pounds, respectively. Only two facilities reported
heptachlor in 2002; one facility in 2003 (Exhibit 4.82). In 2002, most of the heptachlor went to
offsite energy recovery. Onsite treatment was primarily used in 2003.

Hexachlorobenzene
Chemical Information
Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a white crystalline solid created by the chlorination of benzene. A
number of manufacturing processes for chlorinated organic compounds generate HCB as a
byproduct or impurity. During the manufacture of chlorinated organic chemicals, HCB may be
formed by thermal chlorination, oxychlorination, and pyrolysis when carbon and chlorine react at
high temperatures. HCB is usually found in the still bottoms generated during product
purification or distillation and in air emissions from distillation columns. HCB may also be
found as an impurity in commercial chlorinated solvent products.
CAS Number-118-74-1
Alternate Names - pentachlorophenyl chloride, perchlorobenzene
General Uses - HCB is also a potential byproduct formed during the production of metallic
magnesium when produced via electrolysis with carbon electrodes. The degassing of molten
aluminum with hexachloroethylene at aluminum foundries and secondary aluminum smelting
plants also produces HCB. Gaseous emissions from hexachloroethylene-based aluminum
degassing contain high yields of complex organochlorine compounds, including HCB.
Hexachlorobenzene was once used as an agricultural fungicide, but health concerns about its
toxicity led to the cancellation of the registrations of all pesticides that contained
hexachlorobenzene as an active ingredient. Its primary use was to treat wheat seeds, onions, and
sorghum. As late as 1985 it was used to prevent wheat smut. Although no longer used as an
active ingredient in pesticides, hexachlorobenzene is a byproduct impurity contained in a number
of pesticides. However, using and intentionally making hexachlorobenzene is no longer allowed
in the United States.
Potential Hazards - This compound is an irritant of the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and
upper respiratory tract. It emits toxic fumes of chlorides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
when heated to decomposition. Potentially toxic to the liver and a probable human carcinogen
(EPA Integrated Risk Information System -IRIS).
Summary Analysis- Hexachlorobenzene
• In 2003, the 4,272,727 pounds of hexachlorobenzene accounted for about 5.4 percent of
the total quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there was a 20.9 percent decrease in the quantity of
hexachlorobenzene.
• The number of facilities that reported hexachlorobenzene more than tripled between 1999
and 2000, but have remained relatively constant the last few years, with 38 facilities
reporting this chemical in 2003. Four facilities accounted for over 98 percent of the total
quantity.
• Since 1999, treatment was used to manage over 90 percent of the total quantity of
hexachlorobenzene. In 2003, energy recovery was used for about 7 percent of the total
quantity; land disposal was used for less than 1 percent. Recycling of hexachlorobenzene
has increased significantly since 1999, although there was a decline in 2003, compared to
the five-year high quantity of 740,144 pounds in 2002.
• Since 1999, Region 6 facilities have accounted for at least 97 percent of the total quantity
of hexachlorobenzene. In 2003, facilities in Louisiana accounted for over 81 percent of
the total quantity and Texas facilities accounted for over 18 percent.
117
-------
• Facilities in 3 industry sectors accounted for over 99 percent of this chemical in 2003:
SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee), SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine), and SIC
2821 (Plastics materials and resins ).
National Trends - Hexachlorobenzene. Exhibit 4.99 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
hexachlorobenzene in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as
recycling quantities. In 2003, the 4,272,727 pounds of hexachlorobenzene accounted for about
5.4 percent of the total quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there was a 20.9 percent decrease in the
quantity of hexachlorobenzene. The number of facilities that reported hexachlorobenzene more
than tripled between 1999 and 2000, but have remained relatively constant the last few years,
with 38 facilities reporting this chemical in 2003.
Since 1999, treatment has been the primary management method ~ used to manage over 90
percent of the total quantity of hexachlorobenzene. In 2003, energy recovery was used for about
7 percent of the total quantity; land disposal was used for less than 1 percent. Recycling of
hexachlorobenzene has increased significantly since 1999, although there was a decline in 2003,
compared to the five-year high quantity of 740,144 pounds in 2002.

Exhibit 4.103 shows how hexachlorobenzene was managed by the facilities in each of the 8 EPA
Regions that reported this chemical in 2003. In 2003, almost 93 percent of the PC quantity of
hexachlorobenzene was treated, mostly onsite ~ at facilities in Region 6. About 7 percent of the
hexachlorobenzene also was managed via onsite energy recovery, primarily by facilities in
Region 6. For the most part, non-Region 6 facilities used a combination of land disposal
(primarily offsite) and treatment to manage their hexachlorobenzene. Facilities in Region 9 used
energy recovery for about 50 percent of their quantity of hexachlorobenzene. A notable quantity
of hexachlorobenzene was recycled (onsite) by Region 6 and Region 9 facilities.

State Trends- Hexachlorobenzene. In 2003, although facilities in 17 states reported a PC
quantity of hexachlorobenzene, only 2 of these states (Louisiana and Texas) accounted for over
99 percent of the total PC quantity of hexachlorobenzene. Exhibit 4.104 shows the quantity of
hexachlorobenzene, between 1999 and 2003, that was reported by facilities in these 2 states in
2003. Facilities in Louisiana accounted for over 81 percent of the total quantity of this chemical
in 2003. Texas facilities accounted for over 18 percent. Since 1999, the Louisiana facilities
increased their quantity of hexachlorobenzene by almost 27 percent, with most of the increase
occurring in 2003. The quantity of hexachlorobenzene has decreased more than 70 percent at
Texas facilities since 1999, with significant decreases occurring in both 2002 and 2003.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Hexachlorobenzene. Exhibit 4.108 shows the PC quantity
(pounds) of hexachlorobenzene for the 3 industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported
over 99 percent of this chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals,
nee) reported the highest quantities, accounting for over 61 percent of the total PC quantity of
hexachlorobenzene in 2003. Since 1999, the quantity of hexachlorobenzene reported by SIC
2869 facilities has increased significantly, particularly in 2002 and again in 2003. Compared to
quantities reported in 1999 through 2002, a very large increase in the quantity of
hexachlorobenzene also occurred in 2003 for facilities in SIC 2821 (Plastics materials and
resins). Facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine), although accounting for over 21 percent
of the total quantity of hexachlorobenzene in 2003, reported decreased quantities in 2002 and in
2003.

Hexachloroethane
Chemical Information
CAS Number-67-72-1
Alternate Names - carbon hexachloride, ethane hexachloride, perchloroethane
General Uses - This chemical is mostly used by the military to make weapons that produce
smoke, such as smoke pots and grenades used during training. It is also present as an ingredient
in fungicides, insecticides, lubricants and plastics.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or
absorbed through the skin.
Summary Analysis- Hexachloroethane
• In 2003, the 2,734,341 pounds of hexachloroethane accounted for 3.5 percent of the total
quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there was a 24.6 percent decrease in the quantity of
hexachloroethane. Ten facilities reported this chemical in 2000-2003.
• Since 1999, treatment was the primary method used to manage hexachloroethane. In
2003, although the quantity treated decreased, compared to previous years, treatment was
used for almost 95 percent of the total quantity of hexachloroethane.
• Of the 10 facilities that reported hexachloroethane in 2003, 1 facility accounted for 60
percent of the total quantity and 5 facilities reported almost 94 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical.
• Since 1999, the overwhelming majority of hexachloroethane was reported by facilities in
Region 6. In 2003, Region 6 facilities accounted for over 96 percent of the total quantity
of hexachloroethane. However, this quantity represents a decrease of over 25 percent
since 1999 and is indicative of a trend of decreasing quantity since 2000.
• Facilities in Louisiana accounted for over 71 percent of the total quantity of this chemical
in 2003. Texas facilities accounted for over 25 percent.
• Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) and SIC 2812 (Alkalies and
chlorine) reported over 96 percent of hexachloroethane in 2003.
National Trends - Hexachloroethane. Exhibit 4.111 presents the total PC quantity (Ibs.) of
hexachloroethane in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as
recycling quantities. In 2003, the 2,734,341 pounds of hexachloroethane accounted for 3.5
percent of the total quantity of PCs. Since 1999, there was about a 25 percent decrease in the
quantity of hexachloroethane. The number of facilities that reported hexachloroethane between
1999 and 2000 remained relatively constant, with 10 facilities reporting this chemical in 2000-
2003.
Since 1999, treatment was the primary method used to manage hexachloroethane. In 2003,
although the quantity treated decreased, compared to previous years, treatment was used for
almost 95 percent of the total quantity of hexachloroethane. Energy recovery was used for about
5 percent of the quantity. Significant quantities of hexachloroethane were recycled each year
(1999-2003), including over 2.3 million pounds in 2003.

Lead and Lead Compounds
Chemical Information
Lead is a heavy, silver-white metal in its pure (elemental) form. When exposed to air, it reacts
with it and turns bluish-gray. Its physical properties include a relatively low melting point
(327#C), high density, and an ability to shield radiation, sound waves, and mechanical
vibrations. Lead exists in either one of two ways: as the pure metal (i.e., lead metal) or as a
compound, in which the lead is combined with some other element or elements. Examples of
lead compounds include: lead oxide, lead sulfide, and lead acetate. Lead metal and lead
compounds are widely used in a variety of products and applications that include: lead-acid
batteries, ammunition, construction materials, solder, metal castings, glass and ceramic products,
plastics, electrical cable coverings, lubricating oils and greases, and certain paints
CAS Number-7439-92-1
General Uses - Lead is often obtained by primary production through mining of ores or by
secondary production through recycling. Lead and Lead Compounds are used in the manufacture
of a variety of products. The most prominent uses of lead and lead compounds are in storage
batteries, pigments and ceramic products, ammunition, sheet lead, casting metal and solder.
Various other industries use or make metal products that contain lead and lead compounds.
These metal products include sheet lead, casting metals, solder, bearing metals, extruded
products, and brass and bronze alloys. (EPA 2000/2001 TRI Public Data Release Report)
Potential Hazards - Lead can affect almost every organ and system in the body. The most
sensitive is the central nervous system. At high levels, lead may decrease reaction time, cause
weakness in fingers, wrists, ankles, and possibly affect the memory.
Summary Analysis- Lead and Lead Compounds
• The almost 37 million pounds of lead and lead compounds accounted for over 46 percent
of the total PC quantity in 2003. For 1999 - 2003, lead and lead compounds comprised,
by far, the largest quantity of any of the PCs.
• The lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds that became effective
for the 2001 TRI Reporting Year resulted in a quadrupling of the number of reporting
facilities; however, the reported PC quantity of lead and lead compounds actually
decreased by about 400,000 pounds, compared to the quantity reported in 2000.
• Almost 100 percent of lead and lead compounds was land disposed. This is indicative of
the fact that metals, including lead and lead compounds, are not amenable to destruction
via treatment and have no energy value. Although the quantity of lead and lead
compounds reported as recycled has decreased by almost 26 percent since 1999,
approximately 614 million pounds were recycled in 2003.
• Of the 4,609 facilities that reported lead and lead compounds in 2003, 5 facilities
accounted for almost 30 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Seventy-one
facilities accounted for over 75 percent of the total quantity.
• In 2003, about 75 percent of lead and lead compounds was reported by facilities in 4 EPA
Regions (Regions 4, 5, 6, and 7). Facilities in Region 5 accounted for over 24 percent of
the total quantity in 2003.
• Facilities in 16 states reported over 80 percent of the total quantity in 2003. Facilities in
Missouri reported the largest PC quantity of lead and lead compounds in 2003,
accounting for over 13 percent of the total quantity. These facilities also had the largest
132
-------
increase in quantity, almost 3.6 million pounds, compared to the 1999 quantity. Most of
this quantity was reported by 1 facility, in Missouri.
• Facilities in more than 300 SIC codes reported a PC quantity of lead and lead compounds
in 2003. Facilities in 6 industry sectors accounted for almost 80 percent of Ihe total
quantity
National Trends - Lead and Lead Compounds. The almost 37 million pounds of lead and lead
compounds accounted for over 46 percent of the total PC quantity in 2003. For 1999 - 2003,
lead and lead compounds comprised, by far, the largest quantity of any of the PCs. Exhibit 4.122
shows that the number of facilities that reported lead and lead compounds since 2001 has been
relatively constant, with 4,609 facilities reporting in 2003. In 2001, there was a significant
increase in the number of facilities reporting lead and lead compounds. Most of this increase
likely can be attributed to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds that
became effective for the 2001 TRI Reporting Year. Although the number of reporting facilities
more than quadrupled, the reported PC quantity of lead and lead compounds actually decreased
by about 400,000 pounds. As such, quantities of lead and lead compounds newly reported by the
facilities due to the lowered TRI reporting threshold were more than offset by decreased
quantities reported by the other reporting facilities.
Almost 100 percent of lead and lead compounds was land disposed. This is indicative of the fact
that metals, including lead and lead compounds, are not amenable to destruction via treatment
and have no energy value. Although treatment and energy recovery quantities were reported for
lead and lead compounds since 1999, these quantities are steadily decreasing - likely due to
improved data quality assurance by the TRI Program and increased awareness by reporters that
land disposal is the most suitable method to be reported for this chemical. Although recycling of
lead and lead compounds has decreased by almost 26 percent since 1999, approximately 614
million pounds were recycled in 2003.

State Trends- Lead and Lead Compounds. Facilities in every state and territory reported a PC
quantity of lead and lead compounds in 2003. Exhibit 4.127 shows the quantity of lead and lead
compounds, in 1999-2003, in 16 states where facilities reported over 80 percent of the total
quantity in 2003. Facilities in Missouri reported the largest PC quantity of lead and lead
compounds in 2003, accounting for over 13 percent of the total quantity. These facilities also
had the largest increase in quantity, almost 3.6 million pounds, compared to the 1999 quantity.
Since 1999, Missouri facilities reported a steadily increasing quantity of lead and lead
compounds. Most of this quantity was reported by 1 facility, accounting for about 90 percent of
the total quantity reported by facilities in Missouri.
In 2003, the PC quantity of lead and lead compounds increased in most of these 16 states.
Facilities in several states (Alabama, Texas, and Nebraska) had increases of over 1 million
pounds, compared to the 1999 quantities. Facilities in 3 of the states reported a decreased
quantity of lead and lead compounds: Pennsylvania (-2.2 million pounds), Illinois (-950,000
pounds), and Ohio (-395,000 pounds).

codes reported a PC quantity of lead and lead compounds in 2003. Exhibit 4.131 shows the PC
quantity (pounds) of lead and lead compounds reported in the 6 industry sectors (SIC codes)
where facilities accounted for almost 80 percent of this chemical in 2003. Facilities in SIC 3341
(Secondary nonferrous metals) reported the highest quantities, accounting for 34 percent of the
total PC quantity of lead and lead compounds reported in 2003. Facilities in this industry sector
reported an increase of about 5.2 million pounds (+71.8%) compared to the 1999 quantity. Much
of this increase is attributed to the quantity of lead and lead compounds reported by 1 facility,
located in Missouri.
Beginning in 2001, there was a dramatic increase in the quantity of lead and lead compounds
reported by facilities in SIC 9711 (National Security). In 2003, these facilities, primarily
military installations, reported an increase of almost 2.6 million pounds of lead and lead
compounds, compared to the quantity reported in 1999. Although a portion of this large increase
may be due to the lowered TRI reporting threshold that became effective in 2001 for lead and
139
-------
lead compounds, most of the increased quantity is likely due to the increase in training and other
activities at military installations in support of military operations to counter terrorism
worldwide, including in Afghanistan and Iraq. Facilities in SIC 3321 (Gray and ductile iron
foundries) reported an increase of more than double the quantity reported in 1999, with an initial
large increase in 2001.
Facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast Furnaces and steel mills) reported over 20 percent of the total
quantity of lead and lead compounds. Since 1999, facilities in this industry sector reported 17
percent less lead and lead compounds than was reported in 1999. Facilities in SIC 2819
(Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee) and SIC 3229 (Pressed and blown glass, nee) also reported
less quantities of lead and lead compounds in 2003 than were reported in 1999.

Exhibit 4.132 shows how lead and lead compounds were managed by facilities in these six
industry sectors in 2003. Most of the quantity reported by facilities in SICs 3341, 3312, 3321,
and 3229 was sent to offsite land disposal. Almost 97 percent of the lead and lead compounds
reported by SIC 9711 facilities was disposed onsite. The quantity reported by facilities in SIC
2819 was more or less equally disposed onsite and offsite. Considerable recycling of lead and
lead compounds was reported by facilities in each of these industry sectors.

Recycling. Exhibit 4.1333 provides some indication of the extent to which facilities in certain
industry sectors have recycled at least 10,000 pounds of lead and lead compounds in 1999-2003,
rather than manage it as a waste. For those year(s), the facility did not report a PC quantity, i.e.,
a quantity managed via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment.

Lindane
Chemical Information
CAS Number - 58-89-9
Alternate Names - Hexachlorocyclohexane, gamma-
General Uses - This chemical was mainly used on fruit and vegetable crops to kill insects.
Today it is used as an ingredient in ointments that help cure head lice, body lice, and scabies.
This chemical hasn't been made in the United States since 1977, but it is still imported into the
country and formulated. Only individuals who are certified can use this chemical.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or
absorbed through the skin.
Summary Analysis- Lindane
• In 2003, only 71 pounds of lindane were reported - by 1 facility, located in Idaho. This
quantity of lindane accounts for less than 0.1 percent of the total quantity of PCs in 2003.
Since 1999, the quantity of lindane has decreased by over 97 percent. Since 1999, no
more than 2 facilities reported lindane in a given year.
• Treatment was the primary method used to manage lindane in 1999-2003. A significant
quantity of lindane was recycled in each reporting year, compared to the total PC
quantity.
• Since 1999, only facilities in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) have
reported a PC quantity (pounds) of lindane. One facility accounted for 100 percent of
this chemical in 2003. In 1999-2003, this facility reported less than 100 pounds of
lindane each year, including 71 pounds in 2003.
National Trends - Lindane. Exhibit 4.134 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of lindane in
1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as recycling quantities.
Since 1999, no more than 2 facilities reported lindane in a given year. In 1999-2003, the largest
quantity of lindane was reported in 1999 - by 2 facilities. In 2003, 1 facility reported 71 pounds
of lindane. Since 1999, the quantity of lindane has significantly decreased by over 97 percent.
Treatment was the primary method used to manage lindane in 1999-2003, used for 100 percent
of the total quantity of lindane in 2003. A significant quantity of lindane was recycled in each
reporting year.

State Trends- Lindane. Since 1999, only 3 facilities reported lindane — one facility each in
Idaho, Missouri, and North Dakota (Exhibits 4.138 and 4.139). The facility in Missouri only
reported lindane in 1999 and their 1999 quantity was the highest reported quantity of any of
these three facilities in 1999-2003. The facility in North Dakota only reported lindane in 2002.
Only the facility in Idaho reported lindane each year (1999-2003) and was the only facility to
report this chemical in 2003. As noted above, this facility used offsite treatment to manage 100
percent of their lindane.

Mercury and Mercury Compounds
Chemical Information
Mercury (CAS 7439-97-6) is a heavy, silver-white metal that exists as a liquid at ambient
temperatures.
CAS Number - 7439-97-6
General Uses - It is a precious metal used in chlor-alkali production, wiring devices, switching
mechanisms, amalgam dental fillings, and measurement and control instruments. Industries also
manufacture and process mercury reagents, catalysts, and medicinal chemicals. Metal ores, coal,
crude oil, and fuel oils contain mercury as a trace constituent. Mercury is produced as a
byproduct of gold ore mining operations. Secondary production of mercury involves the
recovery of mercury from dismantled equipment and recovery from scrap and industrial wastes
using a thermal or chemical extractive process. Major sources of recycled or recovered mercury
include scrap from instrument and electrical manufactures (lamps and switches), wastes and
sludge from laboratories and electrolytic refining plants, mercury batteries, and dental amalgams.
Mercury is also found as a trace contaminant in fossil fuels and waste materials. The
combination of the elevated temperature of the process and the volatility of Mercury and
Mercury Compounds results in their being emitted in the combustion gas exhaust stream. Two
general categories of mercury emissions sources exist involving fuel combustion for energy,
steam and heat generation, as well as waste disposal processes.
Potential Hazards - The nervous system is sensitive to all forms of mercury. Methyl mercury
and metallic mercury vapors are more harmful than other forms. Exposure to high levels of
metallic, inorganic, or organic mercury can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and
developing fetus.
Summary Analysis- Mercury and Mercury Compounds.
• In 2003, the 40,450 pounds of mercury and mercury compounds comprised about 0.1
percent of the total PC quantity.
• The number of facilities that reported mercury and mercury compounds increased each
year since 2000, with 540 facilities reporting this chemical in 2003. Prior to 2000, only
27 facilities reported a PC quantity of mercury and mercury compounds. This significant
increase was likely due to the lowered TRI reporting threshold (10 pounds) for mercury
and mercury compounds.
• Almost 100 percent of mercury and mercury compounds was land disposed.
• The more than 490,000 pounds of mercury and mercury compounds recycled in 2003
represented about an 8 percent increase in recycling compared to the quantity recycled in
2002.
• Of the 540 facilities that reported mercury and mercury compounds in 2003, 10 facilities
accounted for about 49 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Sixty facilities
accounted for almost 85 percent of the total quantity.
• In 2003, about 80 percent of mercury and mercury compounds were reported by facilities
in 4 Regions (Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6).
• Facilities in every state and territory (except Puerto Rico and Vermont) reported a PC
quantity of mercury and mercury compounds in 2003. Facilities in 12 states reported
over 80 percent of the total quantity in 2003. Facilities in Texas reported the largest PC
153
-------
quantity of mercury and mercury compounds in 2003, accounting for almost 15 percent
of the total quantity.
• Facilities in over 90 SIC codes reported a PC quantity of mercury and mercury
compounds in 2003. Over 90 percent was reported by facilities in 18 of the industry
sectors (SIC codes); facilities in 3 of these industry sectors accounted for almost 60
percent of the total quantity: SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee), SIC 3312
(Blast furnaces and steel mills), and SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine).
National Trends - Mercury and Mercury Compounds. The 40,540 pounds of mercury and
mercury compounds accounted for about 0.1 percent of the total PC quantity in 2003. Exhibit
4.141 shows that the number of facilities that reported mercury and mercury compounds has
risen each year since 2000, with 540 facilities reporting in 2003. Prior to 2000, only 27 facilities
reported a PC quantity of mercury and mercury compounds. The increase in reporting facilities
was likely due to the lower TRI reporting threshold (10 pounds) for mercury and mercury
compounds that became effective for the 2000 TRI Reporting Year. The large increase in the
number of reporting facilities contributed to an increase of almost 70 percent of the reported PC
quantity of mercury and mercury compounds in 2000, compared to the quantity reported in 1999.
Almost 100 percent of mercury and mercury compounds was land disposed. This is indicative of
the fact that metals, including mercury and mercury compounds, are not amenable to destruction
via treatment and have no energy value. Although treatment and energy recovery quantities
were reported for mercury and mercury compounds since 1999, these quantities are steadily
decreasing - likely due to improved data quality assurance by the TRI Program and increased
awareness by reporting facilities that land disposal is the most suitable method to be reported for
this chemical. Although the quantity of mercury and mercury compounds reported as recycled
has decreased by almost 42 percent compared to the quantity recycled in 1999, the quantity
recycled has remained relatively constant since 2000.

State Trends- Mercury and Mercury Compounds. Facilities in every state and territory (except
Puerto Rico and Vermont) reported a PC quantity of mercury and mercury Compounds in 2003.
Exhibit 4.146 shows the quantity of mercury and mercury compounds, in 1999-2003, in those 12
states where facilities comprised over 80 percent of the total quantity in 2003. Facilities in Texas
reported the largest quantity of mercury and mercury compounds in 2003, accounting for almost
15 percent of the total quantity.
Facilities in many of the states reported an increased quantity of mercury and mercury
compounds. Facilities in Pennsylvania reported about 47 percent of the overall increase (6,279
pounds) in quantity (Exhibit 4.147). Significant increases also were reported by facilities in
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Connecticut.
In addition to the decreased quantity reported by facilities in Texas, facilities in Ohio and
Tennessee also reported decreased quantities of mercury and mercury compounds, compared to
the quantities reported in 2000. (Exhibit 4.147).

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Mercury and Mercury Compounds. Facilities in over 90 SIC
codes reported a PC quantity of mercury and mercury compounds in 2003. Exhibit 4.150 shows
the PC quantity (pounds) of mercury and mercury compounds reported in the 18 industry sectors
(SIC codes) where facilities accounted for almost 90 percent of the mercury and mercury
compounds in 2003. Facilities in 3 of these industry sectors accounted for almost 60 percent of
the total quantity: SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee), SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and
steel mills), and SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine). Almost all of these industry sectors had a
significant increase in 2000 - perhaps due to the lowered TRI reporting threshold that became
effective for mercury and mercury compounds beginning in 2000. Since then, the total PC
quantity of mercury and mercury compounds decreased in 6 of the industry sectors, including:
• SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) - a decrease of 65.1%
• SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) - a decrease of 94.8%
• SIC 2911 (Petroleum refining) - a decrease of 63.8%
• SIC 3692 (Primary batteries, wet and dry) - a decrease of 82.3%).
Among those industry sectors for which the total quantity of Mercury and Mercury Compounds
increased since 2000 were:
• SIC 2819 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) — an increase of 107.6%
• SIC 3823 (Process control instruments) - an increase of 1833%

Exhibit 4.151 shows how mercury and mercury compounds were managed by facilities in these
18 industry sectors in 2003. Virtually 100 percent of the mercury and mercury compounds were
land disposed, with 73 percent sent offsite disposal and 27 percent disposed onsite. Facilities in
SIC 2819 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) and SIC 2812 (alkalies and chlorine), among
others, reported considerable recycling of mercury and mercury compounds.

Recycling. Exhibit 4.152 provides some indication of the extent to which facilities in certain
industry sectors recycled at least 100 pounds of mercury and mercury compounds in 1999-2003,
rather than manage it as a waste. For those year(s), the facility did not report a PC quantity, i.e.,
a quantity managed via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment.

Methoxychlor
Chemical Information
Methoxychlor is an organochlorine used as a general insecticide. It is a pale- yellow powder with
a slightly fruity or musty odor. However, it is available in many forms, including powders,
emulsifiable concentrates, granules, and an aerosol. Methoxychlor is similar in structure to
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), but it is less toxic.
CAS Number - 72-43-5
Alternate Names - 2,2-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-l,l,l-trichloroethane
General Uses - This chemical is used to kill insects such as flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches,
chiggers, etc. Methoxychlor also is used on agricultural crops, livestock, grain storage, home
gardens, and pets. EPA has approved the use of methoxychlor as a pesticide and fumigant on
more than 85 crops such as fruits, vegetables, forage crops, and shade trees. It may also be
applied to large areas such as beaches, estuaries, and marshes for control of flies and mosquito
larvae and may be used for spray treatment of barns, grain bins, mushroom houses, other
agricultural premises, and garbage and sewage areas. (EPA 2000/2001 TRI Public Data Release
Report)
Potential Hazards - This chemical is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or
absorbed through the skin.
Summary Analysis- Methoxychlor
• No PC quantity of methoxychlor was reported in 2003. In 2000 - 2002, only small
quantities were reported, with 17 pounds the largest quantity reported in 2000. Only 3
facilities reported methoxychlor in 2000; one facility in 2001 and 2002.
• In 2000, the year in which the largest quantity of methoxychlor was reported, most of this
chemical was treated.
• One facility in Region 7 (Kansas) reported a quantity of methoxychlor in each year,
2000-2002. Aside from this facility, 1 other facility in Region 7 (Missouri) and a facility
in Region 8 (Colorado) also reported methoxychlor in 2000.
• Two of the 3 facilities that reported a PC quantity of methoxychlor in 2000-2003, were in
SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee); the remaining facility was in SIC
2899 (Chemical preparations, nee).
National Trends - Methoxychlor. Exhibit 4.153 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
methoxychlor in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as
recycling quantities. No quantity of methoxychlor was reported in 1999 or 2003. In 2000 -2002,
only small quantities were reported, with 17 pounds the largest quantity reported in 2000. Only
3 facilities reported methoxychlor in 2000; one facility in 2001 and 2002. In 2000, most of the
methoxychlor was treated.

EPA Region Trends- Methoxychlor. Exhibit 4.154 shows the quantity (pounds) of methoxychlor
reported by facilities in 2 EPA Regions in 1999 to 2003. One facility in Region 7 reported a
quantity of methoxychlor in each year, 2000-2002. Aside from this facility, 1 other facility in
Region 7 and a facility in Region 8 reported methoxychlor in 2000. The increased reporting of
methoxychlor in 2000 may have occurred due to the lower TRI reporting threshold for this
chemical that became effective in 2000.

Naphthalene
Chemical Information
CAS Number-91-20-3
Alternate Names - naphthalin, tar camphor, white tar
General Uses - This chemical is used to make products like mothballs that repel and keep moths
away. It is also used to make dyes, leather goods, and insecticide.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is flammable/combustible. In addition, exposure to large
doses of Naphthalene may damage or destroy red blood cells.
Summary Analysis- Naphthalene
• In 2003, the 10,399,334 pounds of naphthalene made it the third largest quantity of all the
PCs, comprising about 13 percent of the total quantity. In 2003, there was a 25 percent
decrease in the total quantity of naphthalene, compared to the quantity reported in 1999.
• In 2003, naphthalene was managed primarily by treatment (52.5%), followed by energy
recovery (41.7%), and disposal (5.8%). Recycling of naphthalene decreased in 1999-
2001 but then dramatically increased in 2002 and 2003, with almost 18.5 million pounds
recycled in 2003.
• Of the 450 facilities that reported naphthalene in 2003, 27 facilities accounted for almost
63 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
• In 2003, over 90 percent of the naphthalene was reported by facilities in Regions 3, 4, 5,
and 6.
• Facilities in 8 states accounted for over 80 percent of the total PC quantity of naphthalene
in 2003. Two of the states, Texas and Indiana, accounted for 51 percent of the total
quantity.
• Facilities in 8 industry sectors (SIC codes) reported over 80 percent of this chemical in
2003; about 55 percent of the naphthalene was reported by facilities SIC 3479 (Metal
coating and allied services), SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee ), and SIC 2911
(Petroleum Refining).
National Trends - Naphthalene. Exhibit 4.158 presents the total PC quantity (Ibs.) of
naphthalene reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well
as recycling quantities. In 2003, naphthalene was the third largest quantity of all the PCs with
10,399,334 pounds, representing 13.1 percent of the total quantity. In 2003, there was a 25
percent decrease in the total quantity of naphthalene, compared to the quantity reported in 1999.
There also was a slight increase (14.2%) in the number of facilities reporting this chemical, from
394 facilities in 1999 to 450 facilities in 2003.
Since 1999, the relative use of disposal, treatment, and energy recovery to manage naphthalene
has remained relatively consistent. In 2003, the naphthalene was managed primarily by
treatment (52.5%), energy recovery (41.7%), and disposal (5.8%). Recycling of naphthalene
decreased in 1999-2001 but then dramatically increased in 2002 and 2003, with almost 18.5
million pounds recycled in 2003.

chemical in 2003. Facilities in three of these industry sectors: SIC 3479 (Metal coating and
allied services), SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee ), and SIC 2911 (Petroleum
Refining) reported more than 55 percent of the total PC quantity of naphthalene reported in 2003.
In 2003, the largest increase, compared to the quantity reported in 1999, was reported by
facilities in SIC 3479 - an increase of over 1 million pounds of naphthalene. Five of the 8
industry sectors reported decreased quantities in 2003. Of particular note, facilities in SIC 2911
reported a decrease of over 3 million pounds of naphthalene; a Texas facility accounted for most
of this decrease.

Most of the naphthalene reported by facilities in SICs 3479 and 2911 was managed by onsite
treatment. Facilities in SIC 2869 used a combination of both onsite/offsite energy treatment and
treatment for their naphthalene. Facilities in SIC 2865 reported using land disposal for about 26
percent of their quantity of naphthalene; the remaining quantity was managed using energy
recovery (over 48%) and treatment (almost 26%). Onsite energy recovery was used for most of
the naphthalene reported by facilities in SICs 2879 and 2812.

Pendimethalin
Chemical Information
Pendimethalin is a orange-yellow crystalline solid and is formulated in liquid, solid, and granular
forms, and also as an emulsifiable concentrate.
CAS Number - 40487-42-1
Alternate Names - 3, 4-xylidine, benzenamine, penoxalin
General Uses - Pendimethalin is used as a pre-emergence and postemergence herbicide on
cotton, dry onions, dry bulb shallots, edible beans, corn, legumes, garlic, grain, nonbearing fruit,
nut crops, peanuts, potatoes, rice, soybeans, sugar cane, sunflowers, sweet corn, and sweet
lupine. It is also used for pre-emergence control of many annual grasses and certain broadleaf
weeds. Pendimethalin is applied by broadcasting, directed spray, and soil treatment.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is considered to have low acute toxicity and was added to the
TRI based on liver toxicity. It is slightly toxic via exposure to it by eating or drinking
contaminated food or water.
Summary Analysis- Pendimethalin
• In 2003, 8 facilities reported 429,551 pounds of pendimethalin. This quantity comprised
0.5 percent of the total quantity of PCs. In 2003, there was about a 95 percent increase in
the total quantity of pendimethalin, compared to the quantity reported in 1999.
• In 1999-2003, land disposal was increasingly used to manage pendimethalin.
• Of the 8 facilities that reported pendimethalin in 2003, 1 facility accounted for over 65
percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Five of the 8 facilities reported almost 98
percent of the total PC quantity.
• In 2003, over 94 percent of the pendimethalin was reported by facilities in Regions 4 and
7. The quantity of pendimethalin reported in both these Regions increased significantly,
compared to the quantities reported in 1999. In 2003 alone, Region 4 facilities reported
an increase of over 73 percent, compared to the previous year. Facilities in Region 7
reported a decrease of almost 17 percent in 2003, compared to the previous year.
• Facilities in only 4 states reported a quantity of pendimethalin in 2003. Facil ities in
Missouri and Florida reported 93 percent of the total quantity of pendimethalin in 2003.
Facilities in both these states reported a significant increase in 2003, compared to
quantities reported in 1999.
• In 2003, only 8 facilities in 3 industry sectors reported pendimethalin. Facilities in both
SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) and SIC 2062 (Cane sugar refining)
reported an increase of over 100,000 pounds of pendimethalin, compared to quantities
reported in 1999. In 2003, SIC 2879 facilities reported a 17 percent decrease compared
to the quantity reported in 2002.
National Trends - Pendimethalin. Exhibit 4.170 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
pendimethalin reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as
well as recycling quantities. In 2003, the 429,551 pounds of pendimethalin represented 0.5
percent of the total quantity of PCs. In 2003, there was more than a 95 percent increase in the
total quantity of pendimethalin, compared to the quantity reported in 1999. There also was a
slight increase in the number of facilities reporting this chemical, with 8 facilities reporting a PC
quantity of pendimethalin in 2003.
177
-------
In 1999-2003, land disposal was increasingly used to manage pendimethalin. In 2003, the
quantity of pendimethalin disposed almost doubled, compared to the previous two years. The
use of treatment to manage pendimethalin in 1999-2003 was somewhat variable, ranging from a
low of 129,625 pounds in 2001 to a high of 649,602 pounds in 2000. In 2003, almost 290,000
pounds of pendimethalin were treated. No energy recovery for pendimethalin was reported.
Aside from over 41,000 pounds of pendimethalin recycled in 2002, less than 6,000 pounds was
recycled in any given year since 1999.

Exhibit 4.180 shows how pendimethalin was managed in 3 industry sectors where 8 facilities
reported this PC in 2003. Onsite treatment was the primary method used by facilities in SIC
2879. The two facilities in SIC 2062 used onsite land disposal for 100 percent of their
pendimethalin. Offsite land disposal was used by 2 facilities in SIC 2875 for the entire quantity
of their pendimethalin; one other facility in this industry sector used offsite treatment. In 2003, 2
of the SIC 2875 facilities reported some recycling of pendimethalin

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Pentachlorobenzene. Exhibit 4.189 shows the PC quantity
(pounds) of pentachlorobenzene by 5 industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported this
chemical in 2003. The facility in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) reported the highest quantity,
accounting for 68 percent of the total PC quantity of pentachlorobenzene reported in 2003.
Compared to the quantity reported by this facility in 2000, there was a 37.5 percent increase in
quantity. Three facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported 32 percent of
the total quantity. A facility in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) reported less than
100 pounds.
The large increase that occurred in 2003 for the SIC 2869 facilities is misleading. For the 2003
reporting year, 2 facilities (1 in Louisiana, 1 in Texas) changed their primary SIC code from
2812 to 2869. The quantity of pentachlorobenzene reported by these two facilities accounted for
almost 98 percent of the total quantity for this SIC in 2003.

• Although disposal of pentachlorophenol had been decreasing since 1999, a dramatic
increase in the quantity managed via land disposal occurred in 2003, when over 77
percent of the total quantity was land disposed. Many facilities also used offsite
treatment. Recycling of pentachlorophenol decreased from a high of 23,383 pounds in
1999 to a low of only 54 pounds in 2003.
• In 2003, facilities in 6 EPA Regions reported pentachlorophenol. Facilities in Region 6
reported the largest quantity of pentachlorophenol in 2003, accounting for 85 percent of
the total quantity. The increased quantity for Region 6 was mostly reported by 1 facility
in Louisiana. The facility in Region 7 also reported a significant increase. Facilities in
the other Regions reported significant decreases of pentachlorophenol in 2003, including
zero quantities in Regions 3 and 8. In Region 4, a decrease of about 130,000 pounds was
reported in 2003 - more than an 87 percent reduction.
• Pentachlorophenol was reported by facilities in 12 states in 2003. Facilities in Louisiana
accounted for over 83 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2003, with almost
100 percent of this quantity reported by 1 facility. Facilities in most of the other states
reported a decreased or zero quantity in 2003.
• In 2003, 19 facilities in 3 industry sectors reported a PC quantity of pentachlorophenol.
Facilities in the SIC 2491 (Wood Preserving) industry sector accounted for almost 100
percent of this chemical in 2003. One facility, located in Louisiana, reported about 84
percent of the total quantity reported by SIC 2491 facilities.
National Trends - Pentachlorophenol. Exhibit 4.192 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
pentachlorophenol reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery,
as well as recycling quantities. In 2003, the 160,760 pounds of pentachlorophenol accounted for
0.4 percent of the total quantity of PCs. Compared to the quantity reported in 1999, there was a
24.5 percent decrease in the quantity of pentachlorophenol; however, compared to the quantities
reported in 2000-2002, there was a significant increase. The number of facilities that reported
pentachlorophenol between 1999 and 2000 slightly declined, from 24 facilities in 1999 to 19
facilities reporting this chemical in 2003.

-------
Although disposal of pentachlorophenol had been decreasing since 1999, a dramatic increase in
the quantity managed via land disposal occurred in 2003, when about 77 percent of the total
quantity was land disposed. Since 1999, treatment of pentachlorophenol decreased steadily but a
slight increase occurred in 2003 when about 22 percent of the totals quantity was treated. The
use of energy recovery decreased by 95 percent, compared to the quantity in 1999, but has
remained relatively constant since 2000 and only used for about 1 percent of the
pentachlorophenol. Recycling of pentachlorophenol decreased from a high of 23,383 pounds in
1999 to a low of only 54 pounds in 2003.

Phenanthrene
Chemical Information
CAS Number-85-01-8
Alternate Names - PhenAnthracene
General Uses - This chemical is used to make dyes, plastics, pesticides, explosives and drugs. It
has also been used to make bile acids, cholesterol and steroids.
Potential Hazards - This chemical may cause irritation to the skin and respiratory tract. It emits
acrid smoke and fumes when heated to decomposition.
Summary Analysis- Phenanthrene
• In 2003, the 1,817,292 pounds of phenanthrene represented 2.3 percent of the total
quantity of PCs. In 2003, there was more than a 275 percent increase in the total quantity
of phenanthrene, compared to the quantity reported in 1999.
• Since 1999, there was about a 37 percent increase in the number of facilities reporting
this chemical, with 52 facilities reporting a PC quantity of phenanthrene in 2003. Three
facilities reported almost 92 percent of the total quantity of this chemical
• In 1999-2003, there was no apparent trend in how phenanthrene was managed. In 2003,
treatment was used for almost 55 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene; energy
recovery for about 41 percent, and disposal for 4 percent. Since 1999, recycling of
phenanthrene increased by over 100 percent..
• In 2003, almost 96 percent of the phenanthrene was reported by facilities in Regions 4, 5
and 6. The quantity of phenanthrene reported in Regions 4 and 6 increased significantly,
compared to the quantities reported in 1999. In 2003, however, there was a 60 percent
decrease in the quantity reported by Region 6 facilities, compared to the quantity reported
in 2002. The quantity reported by facilities in Region 4 increased dramatically in 2003 -
by over 741,000 pounds. Most of this increase was reported by a facility in Kentucky
that had not reported this chemical in previous years.
• Facilities in 3 states (Texas, Kentucky, Indiana) accounted for almost 94 percent of the
total quantity of phenanthrene in 2003. Compared to the quantities reported in 1999,
facilities in all 3 of these states reported a significant increase. .
• Facilities in 6 industry sectors reported over 99 percent of the total quantity of
phenanthrene in 2003. In 2003, facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary Aluminum) reported 41
percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene. A SIC 3334 facility, located in Kentucky,
reported most of this quantity. In SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee), 1
facility, located in Texas, reported about 40 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene.
National Trends - Phenanthrene. Exhibit 4.204 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
phenanthrene reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well
as recycling quantities. In 2003, the 1,817,292 pounds of phenanthrene represented 2.3 percent
of the total quantity of PCs. In 2003, there was more than a 275 percent increase in the total
quantity of phenanthrene, compared to the quantity reported in 1999. However, compared to the
quantity in 2002, there also was a 21 percent increase. Since 1999, there was about a 37 percent
increase in the number of facilities reporting this chemical, with 52 facilities reporting a PC
quantity of phenanthrene in 2003.
197
-------
In 1999-2003, there was no apparent trend in how phenanthrene was managed. In 2002, the
large increase in reported quantity of phenanthrene also translated into a large increase in the use
of energy recovery. However, in 2003, there was a subsequent 21 percent decrease in the
quantity that was managed via energy recovery. Although the total quantity of phenanthrene
decreased in 2003, compared to 2002, the treatment quantity increased significantly - by almost
925,000 pounds.
In 2003, almost 55 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene was treated; 41 percent was sent
to energy recovery. Since 1999, recycling of phenanthrene increased by over 100 percent with
769,067 pounds of phenanthrene recycled in 2003.

9 Facilities Reporting Phenanthrene
Exhibit 4.208 shows how phenanthrene was managed by facilities in the 8 Regions that reported
this chemical in 2003. Region 6 facilities used energy recovery, primarily onsite, for their
phenanthrene. Facilities in Regions 4, 5, 9, and 10 primarily used onsite treatment for most of
their phenanthrene. Facilities in Regions 3 and 7 primarily used offsite disposal, although
Region 3 facilities also used treatment for about 30 percent of their phenanthrene. In 2003,
facilities in numerous EPA Regions reported significant recycling phenanthrene.

State Trends- Phenanthrene. In 1999-2003, facilities in 26 states reported a PC quantity of
phenanthrene. Exhibits 4.209 and 4.210 show the quantities of phenanthrene reported in 3 states
(Texas, Kentucky, Indiana) where facilities accounted for almost 94 percent of the total quantity
of this chemical in 2003. Compared to the quantities reported in 1999, facilities in all 3 of these
states reported a significant increase. Facilities in both Texas and Kentucky reported about 41
percent of the total quantity. In 2003, the quantity reported by Texas facilities decreased almost
60 percent, compared to the previous year. The large increase in Kentucky resulted primarily
from 1 facility that had not reported in previous years. Likewise, 1 facility accounted for the
large increase in Indiana.

Exhibit 4.211 shows how phenanthrene was managed by 16 facilities in the 3 states that reported
almost 94 percent of the total PC quantity of this chemical in 2003. In each of the 3 states, 1
facility dominated how the phenanthrene was managed in the state. Over 96 percent of the
phenanthrene reported by Texas facilities was managed via onsite energy recovery - by 1
facility. Similarly, over 99 percent of the phenanthrene reported by 2 Kentucky facilities was
treated onsite - by 1 facility. Over 99 percent of the phenanthrene reported by 2 Indiana
facilities was treated onsite - by 1 facility. Facilities in both Texas and Indiana reported
significant recycling of phenanthrene in 2003.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Phenanthrene. In 1999-2003, facilities in 17 industry sectors (SIC
codes) reported a PC quantity of phenanthrene. Exhibit 4.212 shows the quantities of
phenanthrene reported by 6 industry sectors where facilities accounted for over 99 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical in 2003. In 2003, facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary Aluminum)
reported 41 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene. One facility, located in Kentucky,
reported most of this quantity. In SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee), 1 facility,
located in Texas, reported about 40 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene, representing a
large increase for this industry sector, compared to previous years. However, this large increase
that occurred in 2003 for the SIC 2819 is misleading. For the 2003 reporting year, this facility
changed the primary SIC code from 2812 to 2819. The large increase reported in 2003 by SIC
2911 (Petroleum refining) facilities was primarily attributed to 1 facility in Indiana.
Facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) and SIC 2869 (Industrial organic
chemicals, nee) reported significant decreases of phenanthrene, -81.2 percent and - 71.0 percent,
respectively.

Exhibit 4.213 shows how phenanthrene was managed by facilities in the 6 industry sectors that
reported over 99 percent of this PC in 2003. Onsite treatment was the primary method used by
facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary Aluminum) and SIC 2911 (Petroleum refining). For each of
these industry sectors, 1 facility accounted for most of the treated quantity of phenanthrene. The
facility in SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee) managed almost 100 percent of the
phenanthrene via onsite energy recovery. About 71 percent of the phenanthrene reported by
facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast Furnaces and steel mills) was sent to offsite disposal; offsite

-------
treatment was used for the remaining quantity. Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic
chemicals, nee) treated about 50 percent of their phenanthrene; about 46 percent was managed
via offsite energy recovery and the remaining 4 percent was land disposed. The 1 facility in SIC
2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) sent about 68 percent of the phenanthrene to offsite
disposal; 25 percent to treatment and the remainder to offsite energy recovery. Some recycling
of phenanthrene was reported by facilities in 5 of the 6 industry sectors. One facility in SIC
2869 accounted for 97 percent of the recycling reported for this industry sector.

Recycling. Exhibit 4.214 provides some indication of the extent to which facilities in certain
industry sectors recycled at least 100 pounds of phenanthrene in 1999-2003, rather than manage
it as a waste. For those year(s), the facility did not report a PC quantity, i.e., a quantity managed
via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment.

Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs)
Chemical Information
Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs), also known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), are a group of over 100 different chemicals that are characterized by hydrogen and
carbon arranged in two or more fused benzene rings. PACs originate from both natural and
anthropogenic sources. As pure chemicals, PACs generally exist as colorless, white, or pale
yellow-green solids. Most PACs are found as a mixture of two or more PACs. The TRI PAC
group includes the following chemicals: benzo(a)Anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene,
benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(j,k)fluorine, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(rst)pentapherie,
benzo(a)Phenanthrene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)acridine, dibenz(a,j)acridine,
dibenzo(a,h)Anthracene, dibenzo(c,g)carbazole, dibenzo(a,e)fluoranthene, dibenzo(a,e)pyrene,
dibenzo(a,h)pyrene, dibenzo(a,l)pyrene, dimethylbenz(a)Anthracene, indeno[l,2,3-cd]pyrene,
methylcholanthrene, methylchrysene, nitropyrene
General Uses - Most, if not all, PACs are byproducts of combustion or impurities and not
created for use themselves. PACs may be formed as byproducts of both human and natural
activities. They are produced or emitted during thermal processes such as the incomplete
combustion of organic compounds, pyrolysis, or the processing of fossil fuels, bitumens, or
nonfossil fuels. There are presently no known commercial uses for PACs. In the past, some
PACs were produced in small quantities for research purposes or used in medicines or in the
production of dyes, plastics, or pesticides. Other industrial contributors are the aerospace
industry, coke ovens (various activities), petroleum refining, and primary aluminum production.
PACs are used to conduct research, and to make dyes, plastics, pesticides and medicines.
Potential Hazards - PACs are harmful by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. In addition,
most PACs emit toxic fumes when heated to decomposition. Many PACs have caused tumors in
laboratory animals that were exposed to the chemicals through their food, from breathing
contaminated air and when it was applied to their skin. Although there are no human data that
specifically link exposure to PACs to human cancers, PACs are a component of mixtures that
have been associated with human cancer. These include coal tar, soots, coke oven emissions and
cigarette smoke.
Summary Analysis-Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs)
• In 2003, the 12,672,606 pounds of PACs represented 16 percent of the total quantity of PCs.
In 2003, there was a 52 percent increase in the total quantity of PACs, compared to the
quantity reported in 1999. Likewise, there was a 500 percent increase in the number of
facilities that reported PACs. However, much of this increase in both quantity and number of
reporting facilities may be due to the lower TRI reporting threshold that became effective for
the PACs in 2000.
• The use of disposal to manage PACs decreased - to less than 8 percent in 2003. Use of
energy recovery increased but has declined since 2002 - to about 47 percent in 2003. Since
1999, treatment of PACs has steadily increased to 46 percent of the total quantity in 2003.
There was a steady decrease in the recycling of PACs - from almost 16.6 million pounds in
2000 to about 12.7 million pounds in 2003.
• Of the 661 facilities that reported PACs in 2003, 6 facilities reported over 53 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical. Twenty facilities reported 87 percent of the total quantity.
205
-------
• PACs were reported by facilities in every Region. In 2003, over 53 percent of the PACs
were reported by facilities in Regions 6. Facilities in Region 4 reported over 28 percent of
the total quantity of PACs.
• In 2003, facilities in 7 of the 10 Regions reported a decreased quantity (almost 3.9 million
pounds) of PACs, compared to the quantities reported in 2000.
• In 1999-2003, facilities in almost every State and territory reported a PC quantity of PACs.
PACs reported by facilities in 10 states accounted for over 90 percent of the total quantity of
this chemical in 2003. Facilities in Texas reported about 26 percent of the total quantity of
PACs in 2003.
• In 1999-2003, facilities in 124 industry sectors (SIC codes) reported a PC quantity of PACs.
In 2003, facilities in 86 of these industry sectors reported PACs. PACs reported by facilities
in 11 industry sectors accounted for over 94 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in
2003.
National Trends - Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs). Exhibit 4.215 presents the total PC
quantity (pounds) of PACs in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as
well as recycling quantities. In 2003, the 12,672,606 pounds of PACs represented 16 percent of
the total quantity of PCs. In 2003, there was a 52 percent increase in the total quantity of PACs,
compared to the quantity reported in 1999. Likewise, there was a 500 percent increase in the
number of facilities that reported PACs. However, much of this increase in both quantity and
number of reporting facilities may be due to the lower TRI reporting threshold that became
effective for the PACs in 2000. Since 2002, the number of reporting facilities remained
relatively constant and there has been a 26 percent decrease in the quantity of PACs reported.
In 1999-2003, the use of disposal to manage PACs decreased - to less than 8 percent in 2003.
Use of energy recovery increased but has declined since 2002 - to about 47 percent in 2003.
Since 1999, treatment of PACs has steadily increased to 46 percent of the total quantity in 2003.
There was a steady decrease in the recycling of PACs - from almost 16.6 million pounds in 2000
to about 12.7 million pounds in 2003.

EPA Region Trends- Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs). Exhibit 4.217 shows the quantity
(pounds) of PACs for facilities in each of the 9 EPA Regions that reported this PC in 1999 to
2003. PACs were reported by facilities in every Region. In 2003, over 53 percent of the PACs
were reported by facilities in Regions 6. Facilities in Region 4 reported over 28 percent of the
total quantity of PACs. As noted above, in 2000, a lower TRI reporting threshold became
effective for the PACs. As such, changes are linked to the 2000 reporting year rather than 1999.
In 2003, facilities in 7 of the 10 Regions reported a decreased quantity (almost 3.9 million
pounds) of PACs, compared to the quantities reported in 2000. For example, facilities in Region
4 reported 3 million less pounds of PACs in 2003 than in 2000 and Region 10 facilities reported
2 million less pounds. The quantity of PACs increased in Regions 1, 6, and 7. Most of the 1.4
million pounds increase reported by facilities in Region 6 was reported by 1 facility in Texas

Exhibit 4.219 shows how PACs were managed by facilities in each of the 10 EPA Regions in
2003. Region 6 facilities used onsite energy recovery for about 52 percent of the PACs and
treatment (primarily onsite) for another 44 percent of the PACs quantity. Region 4 facilities used
onsite energy recovery for about 37 percent of the PACs and treatment (primarily onsite) for
another 58 percent of the PACs quantity. Over 55 percent of the PACs in Region 3 were
managed via offsite disposal; 35 percent by onsite energy recovery. Facilities in Region 7 used
treatment (primarily onsite) for about 70 percent of the PACs; over 17 percent went to offsite
land disposal and 9 percent to onsite energy recovery. Almost 97 percent of the PACs in Region
1 were managed using energy recovery (primarily onsite). In Region 2, facilities reported that
treatment (primarily onsite) was used for about 76 percent of the PACs; 21 percent went to
energy recovery (primarily onsite). About 87 percent of the PACs reported by facilities in
208
-------
Region 8 went to energy recovery (primarily onsite). The PACs in Region 10 were managed by
treatment (41 percent - mostly onsite), energy recovery (30 percent - mostly offsite), and land
disposal (over 29 percent —mostly offsite). Over 76 percent of the PACs reported by facilities in
Region 7 were treated, primarily onsite. Almost 64 percent of the PACs in Region 9 were land
disposed (mostly onsite) and 35 percent was treated offsite. In 2003, recycling of PACs was
reported in each Region with most of the recycling reported by facilities in Regions 3,4,5, and 6.

State Trends- Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs). In 1999-2003, facilities in almost every
State and territory reported a PC quantity of PACs. Exhibit 4.220 shows the quantities of PACs
reported in 10 states where facilities accounted for over 90 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical in 2003. Facilities in Texas reported about 26 percent of the totals quantity of PACs in
2003. As noted above, in 2000, a lower TRI reporting threshold became effective for the PACs.
As such, changes are linked to the 2000 reporting year rather than 1999. A decreased quantity
of PACs was reported in 2 of these 10 states, Tennessee (-3.6 million pounds) and Fsorth
Carolina (- 110,000 pounds). The quantity of PACs increased in the other 8 states. Many of the
increased quantities were substantial, including almost 912,000 pounds reported by Texas
facilities and 806,000 pounds by facilities in Kentucky. An increase of more than 534,000
pounds was reported by facilities in Maine.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs). In 1999-2003, facilities
in 124 industry sectors (SIC codes) reported a PC quantity of PACs. In 2003, facilities in 86 of
these industry sectors reported PACs. Exhibit 4.224 shows the quantities of PACs reported by
11 industry sectors where facilities accounted for over 94 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical in 2003. Again, as noted previously, in 2000, a lower TRI reporting threshold became
effective for the PACs. As such, observed changes are linked to the 2000 reporting year rather
than 1999. In 2003, decreased quantities of PACs were reported by facilities in 3 of these 11
industry sectors: SIC 3624 -Carbon and graphite products (-3.7 million pounds), SIC 3334 -
Primary Aluminum (-1.7 million pounds), and SIC 2865-Cyclic crudes and intermediates (-
249,000 pounds). Increased quantities of PACs were reported for the other 8 industry sectors.
Facilities in SIC 2911 (Petroleum refining) reported an increase of almost 1 million pounds.
Large increase also were reported by facilities in SIC 3312 —Blast Furnaces and steel mills and
SIC 2824—Organic fibers, noncellulosic.

Quintozene
Chemical Information
It is a white or colorless crystalline solid with a characteristic pleasant odor.
CAS Number - 82-68-8
Alternate Names - nitroPentachlorobenzene, quintobenzene, pentachloronitrobenzene
General Uses - Quintozene is used as a fungicide for seed treatment, soil application, and as a
slime inhibitor in industrial waters. It is also used to prevent the growth of fungi on grass, lawn
flowers, ornamental crops, shrubs and in gardens.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the
skin. It may cause irritation. In addition, this chemical emits toxic fumes of chlorine, carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride gas and phosgene when heated to
decomposition. Potential liver toxicity (EPA Integrated Risk Information System - IRIS).
Summary Analysis- Quintozene
• In 2003, the 604,434 pounds of quintozene accounted for 0.8 percent of the total quantity
of PCs. Compared to the quantity reported in 1999, there was about a 166 percent
increase in the quantity of quintozene. The number of facilities that reported quintozene
between 1999 and 2000 remained relatively constant, with 6 facilities reporting this
chemical in 2003. Two of these facilities reported nearly 99 percent of the total quantity.
• Since 1999, disposal of quintozene decreased by almost 84 percent - to less than 700
pounds in 2003. Except for a large increase in 2000, the use of energy recovery for
quintozene remained relatively constant and was used for 37 percent of the total quantity
of quintozene, or nearly 224,000 pounds in 2003. Treatment increased dramatically in
2003 when facilities treated over 380,000 pounds of quintozene. Since 1999, recycling of
quintozene steadily decreased - only 105 pounds were recycled in 2003.
• Facilities in Regions 6 and 9 reported almost 99 percent of the total quantity of
quintozene in 2003.
• A facility in Arkansas accounted for 61 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in
2003. One facility in California accounted for almost 38 percent of the total quantity.
• In 2003, 6 facilities in 2 industry sectors reported a PC quantity of quintozene. One
facility in the SIC 9511 (Air, water, and solid waste management) industry sector
accounted for 61percent of this chemical. Five facilities in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and
agricultural chemicals, nee) reported 39 percent of the quintozene.
National Trends - Quintozene. Exhibit 4.227 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
quintozene reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well
as recycling quantities. In 2003, the 604,434 pounds of quintozene accounted for 0.8 percent of
the total quantity of PCs. Compared to the quantity reported in 1999, there was about a 166
percent increase in the quantity of quintozene. The number of facilities that reported quintozene
between 1999 and 2000 remained relatively constant, with 6 facilities reporting this chemical in
2003. Since 1999, disposal of quintozene decreased by almost 84 percent - to less than 700
pounds in 2003. Except for a large increase in 2000, the use of energy recovery for quintozene
remained relatively constant. In 2003, energy recovery was used for 37 percent of the total
quantity of quintozene, or nearly 224,000 pounds. Treatment of increased dramatically in 2001
216
-------
and increased even more in 2003 when facilities treated over 380,000 pounds of quintozene.
Since 1999, recycling of quintozene steadily decreased - only 105 pounds were recycled in 2003.

Trifluralin
Chemical Information
Trifluralin is a yellow-orange crystalline solid
CAS Number-1582-09-8
Alternate Names - 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzamine, benzeneamine
General Uses - Trifluralin is an herbicide used primarily on cotton and soybean crops, trifluralin
is a yellow-orange crystalline solid. Production of trifluralin has declined since restrictions on
product formulation were implemented in 1982 due to carcinogenicity and mutagenicity
concerns. It is used on soybean crops, cotton, wheat, alfalfa, sunflowers and many other crops.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is an irritant of the eyes and skin. It emits toxic fumes of
fluorine and nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Potential liver toxicity and blood
effects (EPA Integrated Risk System -IRIS).
Summary Analysis- Trifluralin
• The 56,826 pounds of trifluralin reported in 2003 accounted for 0.1 percent of the total
quantity of PCs. Compared to the quantity reported in 1999, there was over a 35 percent
decrease in the quantity of trifluralin.
• The number of facilities that reported trifluralin between 1999 and 2000 increased by 50
percent; 12 facilities reported this chemical in 2003. One facility reported nearly 56
percent of the total quantity. Seven of the facilities accounted for 97 percent of the total
quantity.
• In 2003, about 90 percent of the trifluralin was treated. Since 1999, disposal of trifluralin
decreased by almost 62 percent - to 5,634 pounds in 2003. In 1999-2003, energy
recovery was only used for relatively small quantities of trifluralin and in 2003, no
energy recovery was reported. Since 1999, recycling of trifluralin steadily decreased -
only 159 pounds were recycled in 2003.
• In 2003, facilities in only 3 of the Regions reported trifluralin, with facilities in Region 7
reporting 83 percent of the total quantity. The quantity of trifluralin reported by Region 7
facilities has steadily decreased since 2000.
• In 2003, facilities in 3 states (Iowa, Missouri, and Texas) reported 90 percent of the total
quantity of trifluralin. Facilities in Iowa reported almost 59 percent of the total quantity.
One facility reported almost 96 percent of the quantity reported by facilities in Iowa.
• trifluralin was reported by facilities in 7 industry sectors in 1999-2003. In 2003, 12
facilities in 5 industry sectors reported a PC quantity of trifluralin. Eight of these 12
facilities, in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee), reported over 90
percent of the trifluralin in 2003. Facilities in 5 of these industry sectors did not report
trifluralin until 2000. This may be due to the lower TRI reporting threshold that became
effective for trifluralin in 2000. Since 2000, these facilities, for the most part, reported a
decrease or zero quantity of trifluralin in 2003.
National Trends - Trifluralin. Exhibit 4.239 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of
trifluralin reported in 1999 to 2003, showing the disposal, treatment, energy recovery, as well as
recycling quantities. In 2003, the 56,826 pounds of trifluralin accounted for 0.1 percent of the
total quantity of PCs. Compared to the quantity reported in 1999, there was over a 35 percent
223
-------
decrease in the quantity of trifluralin. The number of facilities that reported trifluralin between
1999 and 2000 increased by 50 percent; 12 facilities reported this chemical in 2003.
Since 1999, most of the trifluralin was treated. Disposal of trifluralin decreased by almost 62
percent - to 5,634 pounds in 2003. Energy recovery was only used for relatively small quantities
of trifluralin and in 2003, no energy recovery was reported. Since 1999, recycling of trifluralin
steadily decreased - only 159 pounds were recycled in 2003.

Exhibit 4.243 shows how trifluralin was managed by facilities in 3 EPA Regions in 2003.
Overall, about 90 percent of the trifluralin was treated. In 2003, over 83 percent of the PC
quantity of trifluralin was sent to offsite treatment, primarily by facilities in Regions 6 and 7.
225
-------
Almost 95 percent of the trifluralin reported by Region 7 facilities was managed using offsite
treatment; with the other 5 percent disposed onsite. Over 96 percent of the trifluralin reported by
Region 5 facilities was sent to offsite disposal. Almost 97 percent of the trifluralin reported by
Region 6 facilities was treated, approximately equally split between onsite and offsite treatment.
In 2003, very little recycling of trifluralin was reported by facilities in these Regions.

State Trends- Trifluralin. Exhibit 4.244 shows the quantity of trifluralin, between 1999 and
2003, that was reported by facilities in 15 states. In 2003, facilities in 3 states (Iowa, Missouri,
and Texas) reported 90 percent of the total quantity of trifluralin. Facilities in Iowa reported
almost 59 percent of the total quantity. One facility reported almost 96 percent of the quantity
reported by facilities in Iowa (Exhibit 4.245). Prior to 2003, only small quantities (no more than
2 pounds) of trifluralin were reported by facilities in Texas (Exhibit 4.245). In 2003, a facility in
Texas reported over 11 percent of the total quantity of trifluralin. Facilities in a number of states
did not report a quantity of trifluralin until 2000. This may be due to the lower TRI reporting
threshold that became effective for trifluralin in 2000. Facilities in 5 states that had reported a
quantity of trifluralin in 1999-2002 did not report any quantity in 2003.

Exhibit 4.247 shows how trifluralin was managed by facilities in the 7 states that reported a
quantity of this PC in 2003. Over 90 percent of the trifluralin was treated, including virtually the
entire quantity of trifluralin reported by facilities in Iowa, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, and
Michigan. One facility in Ohio also used treatment (onsite and offsite) to manage the trifluralin.
About 83 percent of the treatment was offsite. Approximately 10 percent of the trifluralin was
land disposed. Two facilities, one each in Ohio and Kansas, disposed almost 100 percent of the
trifluralin; offsite disposal by the Ohio facility and onsite disposal for the Kansas facility. Very
little recycling of trifluralin was reported in 2003.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends- Trifluralin. Exhibit 4.248 shows the PC quantity (pounds) of
trifluralin reported by 7 industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported this chemical in
1999-2003. In 2003, 12 facilities in 5 industry sectors reported a PC quantity of trifluralin. Eight
of these 12 facilities, in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee), reported over 90
percent of the trifluralin in 2003. There was a 40 percent decrease in the quantity of trifluralin
reported by SIC 2879 facilities, compared to the quantity reported in 1999. One facility in the
SIC 2875 (Fertilizers, mixing only) industry sector reported an almost 34 percent increase since
1999.
Facilities in 5 of these industry sectors did not report trifluralin until 2000. This may be due to
the lower TRI reporting threshold that became effective for trifluralin in 2000. Since 2000, these
facilities, for the most part, reported a decrease or zero quantity of trifluralin in 2003.

Exhibit 4.249 shows how trifluralin was managed by the 12 facilities in the 5 industry sectors
that reported a quantity of this PC in 2003. More than 99 percent of the trifluralin reported by
facilities in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) was treated - mostly offsite.
Likewise, the entire quantity of trifluralin reported by facilities in SIC 2032 (Canned specialties)
and SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) was treated, primarily onsite. Land disposal
was used to manage the entire quantity of trifluralin reported by facilities in SIC 2875
(Fertilizers, mixing only) and SIC 2011 (Meat packing plants). Onsite recycling of a small
quantity of trifluralin was reported by one facility in SIC 2875.

Section 5 -
Federal Facilities Trends for the
Priority Chemicals (1999-2003)
-------
Introduction
This section presents data for the national, EPA Region, State, and industry sector
quantities of 23 Priority Chemicals (PCs), reported to TRI by federal facilities. Within
each of these levels, facility data is aggregated by the associated federal agency. For the
purposes of this Trends Report, Government owned, Contractor operated (GOCO)
Federal facilities also are included. Please note that only those federal facilities that
reported one or more of the PCs to Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and indicated they
were either a federal or GOCO facility on the TRI Form R are included in this analysis.
We made no attempt to identify federal facilities that did not indicate on the TRI Form R
they were a federal or GOCO facility.
How Do the Priority Chemicals Relate to the Executive Order
Priority Chemicals?
On April 21, 2000, Executive Order (EO) 13148 (Greening the Government through
Leadership in Environmental Management) mandated, among other things, that federal
facilities reduce the use of identified PCs by at least 50 percent by December 31, 2006
(see Section 503 of EO 13148). An Interagency Workgroup subsequently identified five
chemicals (lead, cadmium, mercury, naphthalene, and PCBs) to meet the mandate of EO
13148. These five chemicals also are among the list of 31 PCs. It is important to note
that the focus of the mandate in EO Section 503 is to reduce the "use" of the identified
PCs - that is, specific uses of the PCs at federal facilities. Federal agencies collect
information (regarding efforts to reduce use of the EO PCs) from each federal facility
within their jurisdiction and submit an annual report to EPA.
This section of the PCs Trends Report shows trends regarding the generation and
management of the 23 PCs that are reported to TRI. As previously noted, the purposes of
the Trends Report (and database) are to 1) track progress made toward the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) goals to reduce the presence of the PCs in wastes
and 2) provide data to assist efforts for identifying voluntary potential waste
minimization opportunities that present source reduction and recycling as alternatives to
land disposal, treatment, and energy recovery. The following discussion refers solely to
the generation and management of PCs from the perspective and is separate from the EO
mandate regarding the "use" of 5 of these chemicals.
Summary Analysis- Priority Chemicals at Federal Facilities
• In 2000 and, again in 2001, there were significant increases in both the quantity
and number of reporting federal facilities, compared to 1999. In 2003, 191
federal facilities reported a total of more than 4.1 million pounds of PCs. This
represents about 5 percent of the total quantity of PCs reported by all facilities
(federal + non-federal) in 2003.
• In 2003, federal facilities reported 7 of the PCs. Lead and lead compounds
comprised almost 97 percent of the total quantity reported (Exhibit 5.5).
235
-------
• About 97 percent of the PCs reported in 2003 were land disposed, primarily
onsite.
• In 2003, only 10 federal facilities accounted for almost 54 percent of the total
quantity; 50 federal facilities accounted for almost 95 percent of the total quantity.
Federal facilities in two agencies: the Department of Defense and Department of
Energy reported 97 percent of the total quantity of lead and lead compounds, 100
percent of mercury and mercury compounds, and 100 percent of the PACs.
• Since 2001, PC quantities increased in 13 of the 16 states. The largest percent
increases were reported by federal facilities in Nevada, Washington, Virginia,
Missouri, and Colorado. Significant decreases were reported by federal facilities
in California, Texas, and Hawaii. Federal facilities in Washington reported over
18 percent of the total quantity of PCs reported by federal facilities in 2003. One
Department of Energy facility, located in Washington, accounted for 84 percent
of the total quantity of PCs reported by federal facilities in Washington.
• Federal facilities in SIC 9711 (National Security) reported almost 98 percent of
the total quantity of PCs reported by federal facilities in 2003.
Generation of the Priority Chemicals by Federal Facilities
(1999-2003)
National Overview of Generation Trends. In 2003, about 4.1 million pounds of PCs
were reported by 191 federal facilities. Both the number of reporting facilities and the
total quantity of PCs were about 13 times greater than in 1999. Throughout this period,
federal facilities primarily used land disposal to manage the PCs (Exhibit 5.1). In 2003,
federal facilities reported about 5 percent of the total national quantity of PCs, including
almost 11 percent of the lead and lead compounds (Exhibit 5.3).
A relatively small number of federal facilities reported much of the total quantity of PCs.
For example, of the 191 federal facilities that reported a PC quantity in 2003, only 10
federal facilities accounted for almost 54 percent of the total quantity and 50 federal
facilities accounted for almost 95 percent of the total quantity (Exhibit 5.4)
Since 2001, federal facilities annually have recycled about 1 million pounds of PCs
(Exhibit 5.1). Lead and lead compounds accounted for most of the recycling.

Exhibits 5.6 and 5.7 show the total quantity of each PC reported from 1999 through 2003
as well as the number of federal facilities reporting these chemicals. Most of the
increased quantity of PCs reported by federal facilities in 1999-2003 was reported by
facilities in SIC 9711 (National Security), primarily military installations. Much of this
increase was due to reporting of larger quantities of lead and lead compounds. This
increased quantity was likely caused by:
1. A lower TR1 reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds that took effect
in 2001;
2. Guidance issued by the Department of Defense (DOD) in 2000 requiring its
ranges to report under TRI (effective as of the 2001 TRI Reporting year); and
3. The increase in training and other activities at federal facilities in support of
military and security operations to counter terrorism worldwide, including
events in Afghanistan and Iraq.

How Did Federal Agencies Manage Priority Chemicals Within the EPA Regions?
Exhibit 5.14 shows the methods used to manage the PCs in the EPA Regions, by federal
agency, in 2003.
Disposal: In most of the Regions, Department of Defense facilities primarily used onsite
disposal. Except in Region 10, Department of Energy facilities used offsite disposal for
most of their PC quantity.
Treatment: A Department of Defense facility in Oregon reported virtually 100 percent
of the total treatment quantity reported by federal facilities in 2003.
246
-------
Energy Recovery: Department of Defense facilities in Regions 4 and 5 reported over 90
percent of the total quantity of PCs sent to energy recovery.
Recycling: Department of Defense and Department of Energy facilities in Regions 4 and
9 reported about 68 percent of the total quantity of recycled PCs.

How Did Federal Agencies Manage Priority Chemicals Within States? Exhibit 5.18
shows the management methods employed by federal facilities for PCs in 2003 — by
federal agency, in the 16 States that accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity of PCs
in 2003. Federal facilities in these states land disposed about 96 percent of their PCs, with
about 83 percent of the total quantity disposed onsite. Four Department of Energy
facilities - one each in New York, Illinois, Colorado, and Idaho—reported most of the
quantity of PCs that was sent to offsite land disposal. A Department of Defense facility
(U.S. Army) in Oregon treated most of their PC quantity onsite. Department of Defense
and Department of Energy facilities in California and South Carolina, respectively,
reported about 68 percent of the total quantity of recycled PCs.

How Did Federal Agencies Manage Priority Chemicals Within SIC Codes? Federal
facilities in 5 SIC codes reported 98 percent of the PCs in 2003. Exhibit 5.21 shows how
federal facilities in these 5 industry sectors managed PCs. Overall, these facilities used
land disposal, primarily onsite, for most of the total quantity of PCs. Facilities in the
SIC 8733 (Noncommercial research organizations) and SIC 3489 (Ordnance and
accessories, nee) primarily used offsite disposal. Most recycling was reported by
facilities in SIC 9711 (National security).

Exhibit 5.23 shows the methods used by federal facilities to manage PCs in 2003, by
chemical and sector. Hexachloroethane and 1,2,4- trichlorobenzene were treated
(primarily onsite) by federal facilities in SIC 9711 -National security. Lead and lead
compounds, mercury and mercury compounds, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene were land
disposed by federal facilities in every sector. About 86 percent of the naphthalene was
sent to Energy recovery - mostly by federal facilities in SIC 9711. Some naphthalene
also was land disposed or treated. For the PACs, federal facilities in SIC 9711 used
onsite land disposal; facilities in SIC 8733 (Noncommercial research organizations, nee)
used offsite energy recovery or treatment. Lead and lead compounds and mercury and
mercury compounds accounted for most of the recycling reported by federal facilities.
Aside from these two metals, recycling was only reported for naphthalene - by federal
facilities in SIC 9711.

Appendix B - SIC Codes vs. NAICS Codes
In this Priority Chemical Trends Report, the industry sector analyses are keyed only to the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes - as currently reported on the TRI Form R. Facilities with the
following SIC code designations (that meet all other applicable threshold criteria for TRI reporting)
must report toxic chemical releases and other waste management quantities of toxic chemicals each
year:
• SIC major group codes 10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094)
• SIC major group codes 12 (except 1241)
• SIC major group codes 20 through 39
• SIC codes 4911, 4931, or 4939 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating power for distribution in commerce); or 4953 (limited to facilities regulated under
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Subtitle C), or 5169, or 5171, or 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a contract or fee basis).
Although facilities in the above SIC codes are required to report to TRI, facilities in additional industry
sectors also choose to report to TRI even though they are not necessarily required to do so. The
database developed for use in this Trends Report includes all facilities, regardless of SIC code (except as
noted in the methodology (see Appendix C), that reported a PC quantity to TRI for reporting years 1998-
2003.
EPA is considering the eventual switch to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
for reporting on the Form R, as discussed in a proposed rule (68 FR 13872), published on March 21,
2003. A final rule is anticipated in late 2005 - early 2006. At such time that the NAICS codes must be
reported for the TRI Form R, the industry sector analyses presented in this Trends Report will likewise
commence to use the NAICS codes. NAICS codes are already used by facilities who must submit the
RCRA Hazardous Waste Biennial Report.

Appendix C - Methodologies for Calculating Quantities of Priority
Chemicals and Measuring Trends
The 2008 GPRA Goal Measurement Methodology
To identify and collect data on Priority chemicals (PCs) reported to the TR1 in 1998 through
2003, EPA undertook the following steps:
1. Extract Data Regarding PCs Reported to TRI;
2. Exclude selected TRI data;
3. Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate PC
Quantities; and
4. Analyze Data and Measure Progress Made Toward the 2008 GPRA Goal
These steps are described below.
Step 1: Extract Data Regarding Priority Chemicals Reported to TRI
Twenty-three of the 31 PCs identified by OS W are reported to TRI. Using the Chemical Abstract
System (CAS) numbers of these 23 PCs (Exhibit C-l and C-2), data on these chemicals were extracted
from the TRI for reporting years 1998 through 2003. These 23 chemicals include the 17 PCs from the
original methodology plus the 6 additional PCs that were required to be reported to TRI beginning in
1995 or 2000. It should be noted that if a facility reported multiple SIC codes, the designated primary
SIC code was used. In developing this report, the TRI data (for 1998 through 2003), frozen as of
January 14, 2005, were used. This is the same data set used for the 2003 TRI Public Data Release (May
11, 2005). However, we subsequently made some revisions to the data based on quality assurance (QA)
activities. The extracted data were used to create a PC database for the 2008 GPRA goal. Exhibit C-2
lists the PCs included in the 2008 GPRA methodology.

Acenaphthylene Pyrene
For the purposes of developing this list of 31 chemicals, endosulfan alpha and endosulfan beta were counted together and
Heptachlor and Heptachlor epoxide were counted together. Also, each of the three metals (lead, cadmium, and mercury) is
combined with its associated metal compounds and addressed as a single Priority Chemical in this report. For example, Lead
and Lead Compounds are addressed as a single Priority Chemical. Only the weight of the metal portion of metal compounds
is reported to TRI.
*Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are on the list of PCs and are reported to TRI but this chemical is not included in this
Trends report because EPA monitors the management of PCBs under a separate initiative.

Step 2: Exclude Selected TRI Data
The following TRI data were excluded from the analysis:
• Data associated with Bevill exempt materials. The PC measurement methodology is intended to
identify facilities with PCs and to calculate the quantity of these PCs that are amenable to waste
minimization. Under legislation, referred to as the Bevill Amendment, certain wastes from
mining and beneficiation activities are excluded from regulation as RCRA hazardous wastes.
EPA also assumes that these wastes offer little, if any, waste minimization opportunities at this
time. Facilities that reported the following SIC codes as their primary SIC code were excluded
from the analysis (see Exhibit C-3), as it was assumed that all PCs reported by these facilities
were associated with Bevill exempt materials:

Step 3: Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate Priority
Chemical Quantities
The TRI collects information on quantities of chemicals in wastes that are reported under the
categories of releases or waste management. However, not all of these quantities are associated with
hazardous waste. Therefore, it is necessary to determine which quantities are most likely relevant to the
measurement of PC quantities in wastes (see Exhibit C-5). Since the purpose of this methodology is to
identify those quantities of the PCs that are amenable to waste minimization, it is necessary to identify
the relevant sections of TRI Form R those quantities of PCs that are land disposed, treated, or sent to
energy recovery. The revised methodology also allows distinctions to be made between PCs contained
in RCRA Subtitle C hazardous wastes versus non-Subtitle C (non-hazardous) wastes. The non-Subtitle
C wastes are not hazardous wastes and for the purposes of this methodology and the resulting database,
are termed Subtitle D industrial wastes (excluding the Bevill exempt materials described above). In
order to make the distinction between Subtitle C and Subtitle D wastes containing PCs, the methodology
identifies which sections of the TRI generally apply to Subtitle C wastes and which sections generally
apply to Subtitle D wastes. Please note that, for the purposes of this Trends Report, no distinction is
shown between Subtitle C and Subtitle D wastes containing the PCs. Quantities presented in the Trends
Report are the total of these two categories. However, the facility specific data in the database does
278
-------
contain a breakout of quantities according to onsite and offsite disposal, treatment, and energy recovery
for both the Subtitle C and Subtitle D categories.
In calculating PC quantities associated with on-site management methods, it is generally
assumed that:
• If the generating facility has a valid RCRA identification number (ID), the wastes are
regulated under Subtitle C; and
• If the generating facility does not have a valid RCRA ID number, the wastes are
regulated under Subtitle D.
In calculating PC quantities associated with off-site management methods, it is generally
assumed that:
$ If the generating facility and the off-site facility have valid RCRA ID numbers, the wastes
are regulated under Subtitle C;
$ If the generating facility has a valid RCRA ID number, but the off-site facility does not
have a valid RCRA ID number, the wastes are regulated under Subtitle D; and
$ If the generating facility does not have a valid RCRA ID number, the wastes are regulated
under Subtitle D.
Based on the above information, generating facilities with valid RCRA ID numbers may have
reported wastes regulated under Subtitle C and Subtitle D, while generating facilities without valid
RCRA ID numbers will have reported wastes regulated under Subtitle D.
The equations used to calculate the PC quantities associated with Subtitle C activities are
presented in Exhibit C-6. The equations used to calculate the PC quantities associated with Subtitle D
activities are presented in Exhibit C-7.
As shown in Exhibits C-6 and C-7, the PC quantities are calculated using data reported in
Sections 5 and 6 of TRI Form R. Please note that a number of changes were made to the TRI Form R in
2002 and 2003 concerning offsite management codes (see Exhibit C-8).
Note, however, that data reported in these sections include all releases and transfers, regardless
of whether they arise from catastrophic, remedial, one-time, or routine process operations. Because the
purpose of this methodology is to identify those quantities that are amenable to waste minimization, it is
necessary to minimize the effect that releases arising from catastrophic, remedial, or one-time events
(i.e., quantities reported in Section 8.8 of TRI Form R) may have on the PC quantities. The criteria used
to account for these releases are presented in Exhibit C-9.
Exhibit C-10 shows the TRI data files and data elements used to develop the databases that
implement the 2008 GPRA goal measurement methodology. Exhibit C-l 1 shows the adjustments that
OSW staff made to the TRI data extracted for the PCs database - based on follow-up quality assurance
activities.
279
-------
Step 4: Analyze Data to Measure Progress Made Towards the 2008 GPRA Goal and Perform
Trends Analyses
Data derived from the revised methodology, for TRI reporting years 1998-2003, applicable to the 23
PCs, is used to:
• Measure progress toward the 2008 GPRA goal of a 10 percent reduction of the total aggregated
quantity of the 23 PCs, using 2001 as the baseline year and
• Evaluate trends for the 23 PCs, using aggregated and non-aggregated quantities, at the national,
EPA Region, State, Industry sector, and Federal Agency (for federal facilities) levels, for the
most recent 5 years of available TRI data (1999-2003). While there may be several different
ways to calculate changes between years, EPA uses an absolute-quantity-change approach for
this report. The absolute-quantity-change approach is used to evaluate the difference in the total
aggregated PC quantity (land disposal quantity + treatment quantity + energy recovery quantity)
reported for the 23 PCs between any two years.

Exhibit C- 8. Changes to Offsite Management Method Codes on TRI Form R
A Note About Management Method Code Changes in the TRI for Reporting Years 2002 and 2003
For reporting year 2002, disposal code M72 (Landfills/Disposal Surface Impoundment) was retired and replaced
with M63 (Surface Impoundment), M64 (Other Landfills), and M65 (RCRA Subtitle C Landfills).
For reporting year 2003, disposal code M63 (Surface Impoundment) was retired and replaced with M66 (RCRA
Subtitle C Surface Impoundment) and M67 (Other Surface Impoundment). In addition, M71 was retired and
replaced with M81 (Underground Injection Class I Wells) and M82 (Underground Injection Class II-V Wells).
A review of the TRI data for reporting years 2002 and 200,3 showed that some facilities reported quantities for
M72 in 2002 and 2003, despite the fact that it was retired. Likewise, some facilities reported quantities for M63
and M71 in 2003, despite the fact that they were retired. Note, however, that facilities either reported to a retired
management method code or to the new management method codes (e.g., M72 or M63/M64/M65).

The 2005 GPRA Goal Measurement Methodology
To identify and collect data on PCs reported to the TRI between 1991 and 2003, the following
steps were taken for this methodology:
1. Extract Data Regarding PCs Reported to TRI;
2. Identify relevant facilities;
3. Exclude certain treatment facility data;
4. Exclude data associated with new TRI reporting thresholds; and
5. Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate PC Quantities
6. Analyze Data and Measure Progress Made Toward the 2005 GPRA Goal
These steps are described below.
Step 1: Extract Data Regarding Priority Chemicals Reported to TRI
The Chemical Abstract System (CAS) numbers of 17 of the PCs3 (see list below) were compared to the
list of TRI chemicals to identify the PCs reported to the TRI. Exhibit C-12 lists the PCs included in the
2005 GPRA methodology. These 17 PCs were included in this methodology because they were reported
to TRI since 1991 - the designated baseline year for the 2005 GPRA goal. Data on these chemicals
were extracted from the TRI for reporting years 1991 through 2003. It should be noted that if a facility
reported multiple SIC codes, the designated primary SIC code was used. In developing this report, the
TRI data (for 1991 through 2003), frozen as of January 14, 2005, were used. This is the same data set
used for the 2003 TRI Public Data Release (May 11, 2005). However, we subsequently made some
revisions to the data based on quality assurance (QA) activities. The extracted data were used to create a
PC database for the 2005 GPRA goal.

3 For this report, EPA combined each of the three metals (cadmium, lead, and mercury) with its associated compounds and
analyzed each of them as a single entity. For example, Lead (CAS No. 7439921) and Lead compounds (CAS No. N420) are
addressed as a single entity, Lead and Lead compounds, in this report. It is important to note that the data reported to the TRI
are data on specific chemicals in the waste, not on the total quantity of waste. Thus, when the word "waste" is used in the
context of TRI data, it only refers to chemicals in the waste.
290
-------
Step 2: Identify Relevant Facilities
To be included in the analysis, a facility was required to meet two criteria:
• The facility must have a RCRA identification (ID) number; and
• The facility must be in one of the "original" reporting industries (i.e., industries that reported to
the TRI prior to 1998, the year in which the list of reporting sectors was expanded).
Data for facilities that do not meet the above criteria were excluded.
Facilities with a RCRA Identification Number
Not all facilities that report to the TRI are generators of hazardous wastes. However, facilities
that generate hazardous wastes must obtain an EPA ID number, referred to as the RCRA ID number
when reporting to the TRI. Therefore, the assumption was made that facilities with a RCRA ID number
are likely to generate PC quantities potentially associated with hazardous wastes, and, thus, the analysis
would be limited to those facilities.
Facilities in "Original" Reporting Industries
The TRI covers a wide variety of industry sectors. Facilities in the manufacturing sector (i.e.,
SIC codes 20 through 39) have been required to report to the TRI since its inception. Beginning with
reporting year 1998, other seven industry sectors have also been
required to report to the TRI.
TRI in 1998:
The main objective of the measurement methodology is to
measure progress made toward the 2005 GPRA goal, using 1991 as the
baseline. Thus, in order to measure this progress, it is necessary to
ensure that only industry sectors that reported to the TRI in 1991 are
included in the analysis. For this reason, PC quantities are based on
original facilities, as categorized by the TRI Program. The TRI
categorizes facilities as "original" or "new" based on the following
logic.
1099 4939
For reporting years 1991 through 1997, all facilities are
categorized as "original." However, beginning with reporting year
1998 (i.e., the year in which the seven new SIC codes were added to the TRI), facilities were categorized
as "original" or "new" as follows:
• Original facilities:
Facilities that did not report any new SIC codes; and
Facilities that reported both original and new SIC codes and reported to the TRI
any reporting year between 1991 and 1997.
• New facilities:
Facilities that only reported new SIC codes; and
291
SIC codes added to the
1021 1221 4953
1031 1222 5169
1041 1231 5171
1044 4911 7389
1061 4931
-------
Facilities that reported both original and new SIC codes and did not report to the
TRI between 1991 and 1997.
Note that the above categorization was applied to each reporting year, beginning with 1998. In
addition, all SIC codes reported by the facilities were considered in the categorization process. This
includes SIC codes reported for chemicals other than the PCs and SIC codes other than those for the
manufacturing sector (i.e., SIC codes other than SIC code 20 through 39).
Step 3: Exclude Certain Treatment Facility Data
Facilities that reported certain SIC codes (see Exhibit C-13) as their primary SIC code were excluded
from the analysis in order to avoid double-counting of wastes reported by both generating and treatment
facilities:

Step 4: Exclude Data Associated with New TRI Reporting Thresholds
In 2000 and 2001, the TRI reporting threshold changed for the following PCs:
Heptachlor;
Hexachlorobenzene;
Lead/lead compounds;
Mercury/mercury compounds;
Methoxychlor; and
Trifluralin.
The new reporting thresholds for the above chemicals (i.e., 10 or 100 pounds) are far smaller
than the previous TRI thresholds of 25,000 pounds annually for manufacturing and processing, and
10,000 pounds annually for other uses. As such, the number of facilities reporting these chemicals to
TRI has increased.
In order to continue to measure progress towards the 2005 GPRA goal on a consistent basis, a
"core" group of facilities was established for each PC that had a threshold change. This core group
consists of all facilities (tracked by TRIFID number) that reported that chemical in a year prior to the
threshold change. All remaining facilities were considered "non-core" facilities. Once the core and
non-core facilities were identified, the total quantity of the chemical reported by each facility (i.e., the
sum of the quantities reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7 of TRI Form R) was estimated.
To be included in the analysis, data for each PC that had a threshold change were required to
meet one of the following criteria:
• The data must be reported by a core facility for the PC; OR
292
-------
• The data must be reported by a non-core facility with 10,000 pounds or more of PC for
the reporting year. Note that these facilities were included because it was assumed that
the facilities would have had to report to TRI based on the "initial" TRI reporting
threshold (i.e., the 1991 TRI reporting threshold).
Step 5: Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate Priority
Chemical Quantities
The TRI collects information on quantities of chemicals in wastes that are reported under the categories
of releases or waste management. However, not all of these quantities are associated with hazardous
waste.4 Since the purpose of this methodology is to identify those quantities of the PCs that are
amenable to waste minimization, it is necessary to identify the relevant sections of TRI Form R - those
quantities of PCs that are land disposed, treated, or sent to energy recovery (see Exhibit C-12). Data for
reported chemical quantities that did not meet these criteria were not included in the PC quantities and
were removed from the PC database. Recycling is considered a valid mechanism for minimizing the
presence of PCs and, as such, recycled quantities are not included in PC quantities.
Note that the above criteria were applied to each reporting year, beginning with 1991. As shown
in Exhibits C-14, the PC quantities were calculated using data reported in Sections 5 and 6 of TRI Form
R. Please note that a number of changes were made to the TRI Form R in 2002 and 2003 concerning
offsite management codes (see Exhibit C-15).
Step 6: Analyze Data and Measure Progress Made Toward the 2005 GPRA Goal
The 17 PCs, for which there is data since 1991, are used to measure progress toward the 2005 GPRA
goal of 50 percent reduction, using 1991 as the baseline year. Changes in PC quantities, from 1991
through 2003, are used to measure progress made toward this goal. While there may be several different
ways to calculate changes between two years, EPA uses an absolute-quantity-change approach for this
report. The absolute-quantity-change approach is used to evaluate the difference in the total aggregated
PC quantity (land disposal quantity + treatment quantity + energy recovery quantity) reported for the 17
PCs between two time periods.
4 The term "hazardous waste" as used in this Trends Report refers to wastes that are regulated under RCRA Subtitle C, which
are listed in 40 CFR 261.20-24 (characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity), 40 CFR 260.31 (non-
specific source wastes), 40 CFR 260.32 (specific source wastes) or 40 CFR 260.33 (discarded commercial chemical
products). It should be noted that chemicals that are released in air emissions or surface water discharge may not be RCRA
Subtitle C hazardous wastes, but may be considered to be hazardous under other regulatory statutes.

Exhibit C- 16. Changes to Offsite Management Method Codes on TRI Form R
A Note About Management Method Code
Changes in the TRI for Reporting Years 2002 and 2003
For reporting year 2002, disposal code M72 (Landfills/Disposal Surface Impoundment) was retired and replaced with
M63 (Surface Impoundment), M64 (Other Landfills), and M65 (RCRA Subtitle C Landfills).
For reporting year 2003, disposal code M63 (Surface Impoundment) was retired and replaced with M66 (RCRA
Subtitle C Surface Impoundment) and M67 (Other Surface Impoundment). In addition, M7I was retired and replaced
with M81 (Underground Injection Class I Wells) and M82 (Underground Injection Class II-V Wells).
A review of the TRI data for reporting years 2002 and 2003 showed that some facilities reported quantities for M72 in
2002 and 2003, despite the fact that it was retired. Likewise, some facilities reported quantities for M63 and M71 in
2003, despite the fact that they were retired. Note, however, that facilities either reported to a retired management
method code or to the new management method codes (e.g., M72 or M63/M64/M65).
