Foreword
Why We Publish This Report
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Office of Solid Waste (OSW) annually produces this
National Priority Chemicals Trends Report to help states and EPA's 10 regional offices identify
opportunities for reducing certain chemicals in wastes that we call Priority Chemicals, or PCs, as well as to
inform the public of these efforts. These 31 chemicals (28 organics and three metals/metal compounds) are
persistent in the environment, bioaccumulative in the food chain, and can be hazardous to human health in
relatively small quantities. They are frequently released to water, air, and land as industrial wastes,
byproducts or impurities. Many are difficult and costly to remove from the environment. In this Report,
we analyzed the quantities and management of PCs that industrial and federal government facilities
reported to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)1 for reporting years 2000 through 2004. States and EPA
regions can use this Report as a tool for identifying opportunities to minimize wastes, pointing the way to
potential waste minimization partners.
About This Report
The sections of this Report discuss our strategic goals and PC trends, and present detailed descriptions of
each PC. This year, we included a new section that profiles PCs generated within specific industry sectors;
specifically, we profile the iron and steel industry. We plan to include additional industry sectors in
subsequent editions of this Report. An index and list of exhibits at the end provides useful reference.
At the end of this Report, you will find a Customer Feedback Survey. We would be grateful for your
comments so that we can continue to improve the National Priority Chemicals Trends Report as a tool for
environmental improvement through even greater reductions in PCs.
TRI is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on hazardous chemical releases and other waste
management activities reported annually by certain regulated industries and federal facilities. TRI was established under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention Act of
1990.

Executive Summary
The 2000-2004 National Priority Chemical (PC) Trends at a Glance
Progress toward our GPRA2 Goal of a 10% - Primary Chemicals reduction by 2008:
There has been a 2.6% reduction, from 82.5 million to 80.3 million pounds, adjusted in total GPRA
PC quantities3 in wastes, compared to the 2001 baseline.
Thirteen of 23 GPRA PCs have decreased in quantity since 2001, while the other 10 increased.
Trends for 2000 - 2004 for all reported3 PCs:
Historical Progress:
From 2000 to 2004 there was a 15% reduction in quantity from 99.4 million to 84.7 million
pounds.
The reduction is notable because the number of reporting facilities increased by 127% in 2001,
mostly because TRI lowered reporting thresholds for lead and lead compounds.

3 Exhibit 1.1 shows the list of 31 PCs; 24, including Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are reported to TRI. When we
formulated our 2008 goal, we were considering an alternative PCB tracking scheme so we did not include PCBs in the goal. We
have included all 24 reported PCs in the other analyses in this Report.

This Report primarily shows only quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite disposal, treatment, or energy recovery
because we believe these management methods offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Recycled PC wastes are
already directed to their best uses, so we did not count them in our management method totals and do not calculate their
percentage. We list them to show their relative quantities.

Section 1
Overview of the National PC Trends Report (2000-2004)
Introduction
In 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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. The RCC's goals
are to reduce what comes into the waste management cycle using pollution prevention, waste minimization,
and manufacturing process and/or product design changes, when economically feasible.
OSW has identified 31 chemicals on which to focus its reduction efforts in wastes (Exhibit 1.1). As part of
the RCC, OSW launched the National Program for Environmental Priorities (NPEP) program to reduce the
presence of these 31 chemicals, referred to as the Priority Chemicals (PCs). The PCs consist of 28 organics
and three 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 toxic to human health
in relatively small quantities. They are present in soil, sediment, ground water, surface water, air, and/or
biota, with a number of them serving as the basis for a waste being classified as hazardous. Furthermore,
they are currently being generated (intentionally or as a product or product ingredient, a byproduct of
production, or an impurity) and continue to be released to the environment potentially exacerbating existing
problems and creating new ones. Many of these organic PCs also pose remediation difficulties once they
find their way into the environment, resulting in costly cleanup efforts. The three metals/metal compounds
were selected because they occur frequently in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
waste streams and to be consistent with international efforts to which the United States made commitments.
PCs are frequently found in hazardous and non-hazardous wastes; likely opportunities for PC reduction
occur 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
these 31 PCs should be the first priority. This reduction preferably should be achieved by reducing the use
of these chemicals at the source. When reduction at the source is not possible, environmentally sound
recycling practices should be used.
Moreover, 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 is building 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 the use of the PCs
through source reduction and recycling.
The purpose of this report is to:
Evaluate the progress made in achieving EPA's Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
national goal of a 10 percent reduction of PCs in wastes by 2008, compared to the 2001 quantities
(see Section 2).
Provide information and trends regarding the generation and management of PC quantities
(aggregated and non-aggregated) contained in wastes 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, 5, and 6).

-------
EPA uses this Report as a tool to identify 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 support this program and helps us better
understand trends in the generation and management of the PCs 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), as required under the Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know Act (EPCRA § 313).
(Exhibit 1.1). The remaining seven PCs are not reported to TRI and therefore we do not have data
regarding the generation and management of these chemicals.
In Section 2 of this Report, we evaluate the progress made toward achieving OSW's national GPRA goal of
a 10 percent reduction of PCs by 2008, compared to the baseline quantity in 2001. Please note that although
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are on the list of PCs and are reported to TRI, this chemical was not on
the list of PCs at the time the 2008 GPRA goal was established. We also present an overview of OSW's
NPEP program under which facilities generating PCs voluntarily commit to eliminate or reduce the
quantity of PCs used at their facilities.
We also monitor waste generation and management trends for PCs to identify potential opportunities in PC
reductions. As such, this Report presents updated analyses of the generation and management of the 24 PCs
contained in wastes for the most recent five years of TRI data (2000-2004) in sections 3, 4, and 5.
Section 3 provides an overview of the national, EPA region, state, and industry sector aggregated quantities
of the 24 PCs for which data are reported to TRI for the 2000 through 2004 TRI reporting years. We focus
on the 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 TRI methodology
(see discussion in Section 2 and Appendix C) and focus on trends for the aggregated quantity of PCs.
Section 4 of this Report presents national, EPA region, state, and industry sector (Standard Industrial
Classification [SIC] code) trends for each of the 24 PCs reported to TRI. We also provide basic information
regarding each PC, including its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number, alternative names, general
uses, and potential hazards. Due to the particularly high Agency priority of mercury and mercury
compounds, we include an expanded section on this chemical in which we describe the various ongoing
projects to reduce and eliminate mercury.
Section 5 of this Report analyzes federal facilities at the national, EPA region, and state levels. We also
included categorization by federal agency.
Section 6 is presented for the first time in this Report. In this section, we analyze PC trends within the iron
and steel industry. We also include basic information regarding the industry sector, including number and
location of facilities and products made. We plan to expand this section to gradually address additional
industry sectors in subsequent updates of this Report.
Several appendices also are included:
Appendix A provides a list of the states within each EPA region.
Appendix B shows a list of the SIC codes.
Appendix C presents the methodology developed to identify and calculate PC quantities.
Appendix D provides an index of exhibits as a reference guide for 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 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.
* Note: Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are reported to TRI, they are not one of the PCs tracked for the 2008 GPRA
goal that is discussed in Section 2.
What Is the Source of the Data Used in This Report?
For this Report, we use the Toxics Release Inventory (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
chemicals that are being used, manufactured, treated, transported, released into the environment, or
recycled. Facilities report this information annually, and EPA reviews and updates the data on an ongoing
basis, when necessary to make corrections submitted by facilities.5
The TRI covers a wide variety of industry sectors, including those in manufacturing (i.e., SIC codes 20
through 39). These industry sectors also account for more than 90 percent of the hazardous waste
generated in the United States. '7 Facilities in these manufacturing sectors 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 TRI reporting occurred in 1998 when 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
Data for each year are published within approximately 18 months following the end of the reporting year. For example, data
for reporting year 2004 (deadline for reporting to TRI was July 1, 2005) were published April 12, 2006.
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 United States. 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.

terminals and bulk stations (SIC code 5171), and Solvent recovery services (SIC code 7389). Facilities in
additional industry sectors also report to the TRI even though they are not required to do so. The database
developed for use in this Report includes all facilities, regardless of SIC code (except as noted in the
methodology [Appendix C] that reported a PC quantity to TRI for reporting years 2000-2004.
What Measurement Methodology Was Used for This Report?
Facilities report information to the TRI on a chemical-specific basis, rather than by hazardous waste stream.
Data reported to TRI include quantities of chemicals that are contained in the waste and provide some
distinctions between hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste. The primary focus of OSW is those
quantities of PCs that are amenable to waste minimization. As such, this Report is keyed to those
quantities of PCs that are managed using onsite/offsite land disposal, treatment, or energy recovery. We
developed a measurement methodology (see Appendix C) to extract the applicable data from the TRI
database that encompass these PC quantities and exclude quantities reported by facilities within certain
industry sectors that present minimal waste minimization opportunity. As such, the data used for this
Report are a subset of the overall TRI data.
How Does EPA Ensure the Quality of the Data Used in This 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 an incorrect interpretation of the trends. Primary responsibility for quality of
the TRI data rests with EPA's 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 PC database. The TRI program takes several steps to ensure the quality of its 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 OSW uses to develop the PCs database, it is sometimes necessary to
supplement the OEI data quality checks to ensure that there are no significant discrepancies in the more
limited universe of facilities associated with the PCs - discrepancies that might not necessarily have been
addressed in the broader OEI data quality checks but that could potentially skew the trends and analyses for
the PCs. The purpose of these supplemental data quality checks is to identify those changes in the quantity
of a PC reported to TRI over two consecutive reporting years that are of sufficient magnitude to potentially
have a significant affect on the trends analysis for that PC. To the extent that time and resources permit, we
conduct these data checks to verify the PC quantities reported by a given facility. Reporting errors might
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 an overall small number of facilities or by a few facilities that account for a large
portion of the total quantity of a PC. Once we complete the supplemental data checks and incorporate any
changes to the database, we "freeze" it and proceed to develop the tables and queries needed to analyze the
PCs trends. Once the database is frozen, we do not further modify it to incorporate any TRI reporting
errors subsequently identified. We depend on OEI to include them in the next year's TRI dataset, provided
that the reporting facility submits a revised TRI Form R to EPA.
Although we ideally strive to determine the quantities of PCs that are contained in wastes amenable to
waste minimization, often an increase or decrease at a facility is not necessarily related to production but
rather is influenced by other factors such as process or plant shutdowns, periodic cleanout of tanks, or
piping systems that are part of routine maintenance, improved measurement and detection equipment, and
compliance with new regulations. We often cannot readily discern that an increase or decrease of PC

to show trends for the EPCRA Section 313 chemicals in the annual TRI Public Data Release.

-------
quantities was associated with such an event and may only learn about it as a result of conducting quality
assurance of the data by, for example, contacting the facility to verify a significant change from one year to
another.
We provide additional details concerning the steps taken in this process in Appendix C.
Seven of the PCs are not reported to TRI (Exhibit 1.1). and we do not have a readily available means by
which to track them. EPA is continuing to work on developing a methodology to extract information about
these chemicals, if available, from the RCRA Hazardous Waste Biennial Report (BR) database. Each of
these seven PCs is described at the end of Section 4.
What Might Change in Future Updates of This Report
In this Report, we discuss progress made toward the 2008 GPRA goal, which uses TRI data that lag
more than a year and are greatly influenced by market forces. OSW recently established a new goal,
referred to as the 2011 GPRA goal. This goal uses current data from facility partners who agree to
reduce their PC wastes, so it better reflects our own waste minimization program efforts. In next year's
Report, we will begin reporting progress made toward each of these goals.
OSW will continue to use TRI data to track long-term PC trends and to look for waste minimization
opportunities in industry sectors. We plan to include additional industry sector analyses in next year's
Report, focusing on those industry sectors that account for at least 80 percent of the total quantity of
PCs, based on TRI data. Beginning with the 2006 TRI reporting year, facilities must report a North
American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code rather than the SIC code that has been
reported since TRI reporting began in 1987. This transition somewhat complicates trends analyses at
the industry sector level; we are looking at options on how best to present these analyses in future
Reports.
We are continuing to develop a methodology to extract Hazardous Waste BR data applicable to PCs in
hazardous waste streams. We plan to use these data, in conjunction with the TRI data, to provide a
better picture of which specific waste streams offer the most promising waste minimization
opportunities.
This Report is an evolving document, and we continue to look for ways to better present the data. For
example, we plan to continue incorporating improved graphics to enhance the presentation of data in this
Report. We also are considering formatting changes to provide a more reader-friendly document. For
example, rather than presenting PC data breakouts by national, EPA region, state, and industry sector
levels, we plan to simply address these within a "PC Generation" and a "PC Management" format. We
believe this approach will provide a simpler and more condensed discussion of the data. If you have any
comments regarding this approach, you may use the Customer Feedback Survey at the end of this Report.

Section 2
Progress Made Toward OSW's GPRA Goals
for Priority Chemicals
OSW's Goals to Reduce PCs in Wastes
The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires the Agency to publish a five-year
strategic plan with goals, and update them every three years. EPA has recently revised its goal and, in this
section, we will explain the previous 2008 goal, which we continue to track, and our new 2011 goal.
In this section, we discuss progress made toward the 2008 GPRA goal, which uses TRI data that lag more
than a year and are greatly influenced by market forces. OSW recently established a new goal, referred to
as the 2011 GPRA goal. This goal uses current data from facility partners who agree to reduce their PC
wastes, so it better reflects our own waste minimization program efforts. In next year's Report we will
begin reporting progress made toward each of these goals.
OSW will continue to use TRI data to track long-term PC trends and to look for waste minimization
opportunities in industry sectors.
The OSW 2008 GPRA Goal
In 2004, OSW established a goal of a 10 percent reduction of PCs by 2008, using a 2001 baseline.
Although this goal has been superseded for strategic planning purposes by our 2011 goal (discussed later in
this section), we are continuing to track progress toward its fulfillment as promised in the President's
Budget for FY 2004. This section discusses progress since 2001 toward OSW's 2008 GPRA goal.
Although 24 of the 31 PCs are reported to TRI, only 23 PCs are tracked for the 2008 GPRA goal.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) also are reported to TRI, but were being tracked separately at the time
the 2008 goal was developed. As such, we do not track PCBs for the 2008 GPRA goal.
In Exhibit 2.2 we show the aggregated quantity and percentage reduction of the 23 PCs since 2001. As of
2004, there was a 2.6 percent reduction in the total quantity of PCs contained in wastes, compared to the
quantities generated in 2001. While OSW's reduction work probably contributed to the decrease, we
cannot identify the share of our contributions.

resulted in a substantial increase of about 1 .2 million pounds.

Progress by Industry Sector
Ten industry sectors, as shown in Exhibit 2.8, accounted for about 75 percent of the total quantity of PCs.
From 2001 to 2004, eight of these 10 industry sectors realized significant increases in the quantities of PCs;
the largest increases were in four of the industry sectors (Industrial organic chemicals nee, Petroleum
refining, Blast furnaces and steel mills, and Cyclic crudes and intermediates) showing increases ranging
from 1.3 million to 8.5 million pounds. Conversely, facilities in the Alkalies and chlorine industry sector
saw a significant decrease of about 11 million pounds.

The New 2011 GPRA Goal for Reducing Priority Chemicals
EPA recently defined a new GPRA goal, referred to as the 2011 GPRA goal, for reducing the PCs. Unlike
previous GPRA goals that used TRI data to measure progress toward reducing PCs, the new goal is directly
keyed to reductions of PCs achieved by NPEP partners. This goal states that by 2011, 4 million pounds of
PCs will be eliminated, as measured by NPEP achievements, Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs),
and other tools used by EPA to achieve PC reductions, with 2006 as the baseline year. In next year's
Report, we also will begin reporting progress made toward achieving this new goal. In the future, we
expect to work with industrial facilities to reduce the use of PCs in products, as well as in wastes.
Commitments and Progress to Reduce Priority Chemicals under the National
Partnership for Environmental Priorities (NPEP)
In September 2002, EPA launched the NPEP program as part of its Resource Conservation Challenge
(RCC) (See discussion of the RCC in Section 1). As of September 2006, 100 NPEP partner facilities have
committed to reduce approximately 8.5 million pounds of 17 PCs by December 2013 (Exhibit 2.9). Exhibit
2.10 shows the trend of commitments to reduce PCs from 20062013.

Section 3
Overall Trends Analyses for Priority Chemicals (2000-2004)
Introduction
This section provides an overview of the national, EPA region, state, and industry sector quantities of the 24
aggregated Priority Chemicals (PCs), for which data are reported to the TRI for the 2000-2004 reporting years.
We are focusing on the five most current years of TRI data to most easily show variable, potential opportunities
for reducing or eliminating PCs. The data presented in this section were derived using the PC Measurement TRI
methodology (see Appendix C) and primarily focuses on trends for the aggregated quantity of PCs. We have
presented a discussion of the trends for individual PCs in Section 4.
National Trends for Priority Chemicals
Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 show the total quantity of PCs from 2000-2004, as well as the number of facilities reporting
these chemicals. In 2002, the quantity of PCs actually decreased, despite a 227 percent increase in the number
of reporting facilities compared to 2000. Most of the increased number of facilities in 2001 likely are attributed
to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds. Facilities reporting decreased quantities
of numerous PCs (including lead and lead compounds) more than offset the relatively small quantities of lead
and lead compounds reported due to the lowered reporting threshold for this PC.
Since 2001, the number of facilities reporting PCs has been relatively consistent. From 2001 to 2003, the total
quantity of PCs decreased. However, in 2004 the quantity significantly increased. We believe much of this
increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For example, new equipment
installed at a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's ability to detect PCs in waste streams
compared to previous measurements, which may mean that the increase may not be real.

-------
In 2004, facilities reported approximately 84.7 million pounds of PCs, representing a decrease of almost 15
million pounds, or approximately 15 percent, compared to the total quantity of PCs reported in 2000
(Exhibit 3.3). Three of the PCs (lead and lead compounds (lead), polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), and
naphthalene) comprised approximately 70 percent of the total national PC quantity. Lead consistently have
accounted for the majority of the total national PC quantity, comprising approximately 38 percent of the PCs in
2004. Nearly 14 million pounds of PACs and 13 million pounds of naphthalene accounted for approximately
16 percent and 15 percent, respectively, of the total national quantity of PCs in 2004.
Of the 24 PCs reported to TRI, the quantity of 17 decreased during the period 2000-2004. These included
decreases of at least 1 million pounds for six of the PCs: lead, PACs, naphthalene, hexachoro-1,3-butadiene,
hexachloroethane, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene. Individual chemicals with relatively large increases in quantity
included hexachlorobenzene, phenanthrene, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene.

Exhibit 3.4 shows, for each of the PCs in 2004, the number of facilities that reported the PC within various
quantities 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 4,621 facilities that reported a PC quantity of lead and lead
compounds in 2004, five facilities accounted for 24 percent of the total quantity, and 53 facilities accounted for
approximately 69 percent of the total quantity.
Please note that the total number of facilities shown in this exhibit may differ from the total number of facilities
shown in Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 because numerous facilities reported more than one PC.

How Were Priority Chemicals Managed?
As previously discussed in Section 1, the total PC quantity comprises those quantities of the PCs that are
managed onsite/offsite via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery. Exhibit 3.5 shows the national trends
regarding the methods used to manage the PCs in 2000-2004. Compared to the quantities in 2000, some
highlights concerning management of the PCs include:
Disposal
Total disposal quantities, including offsite disposal, decreased. Onsite disposal of PCs increased and
reached a peak in 2002 but has been decreasing since 2002.
Disposal was used for approximately 41 percent, or approximately 35 million pounds, of PCs in 2004.
Offsite disposal accounted for 80 percent of the quantity of PCs that were disposed of.
Disposal was used for at least 30 percent of the total PC quantity in each of the EPA regions, except in
Region 6 where facilities disposed of only approximately 11 percent of their PCs.
In 5 of the 10 EPA regions, facilities disposed of at least 75 percent of their PC quantities.
Energy Recovery
Total energy recovery quantities, both onsite and offsite, overall decreased, although in 2004, energy
recovery of PCs increased compared to the 2003 quantities. Energy recovery was used for
approximately 17 percent, or approximately 14.7 million pounds, of PCs in 2004. Approximately 79
percent of the energy recovery was completed onsite.
Facilities in Region 1 used energy recovery to manage approximately 65 percent of their total quantity
of PCs.
Treatment
Total treatment quantities, both onsite and offsite, decreased overall, although in 2004, treatment of PCs
increased compared to the 2003 quantities.
Treatment was used for approximately 41 percent, or 35 million pounds, of the PCs in 2004. Onsite
treatment accounted for 96 percent of the quantity of PCs that were treated.
Facilities in Region 6 used treatment to manage approximately 71 percent of their total quantity of PCs.
Most of the treatment was completed onsite, primarily using incineration.
3-8
-------
Recycling
Offsite recycling increased while onsite recycling decreased with a total overall recycling decrease.
However, in 2004, the recycled quantity increased significantly. Overall, a considerable percentage of
PCs has been, and continues to be, recycled. EPA hopes to increase recycling of PCs to the extent
feasible rather than disposal, treatment, or energy recovery. Recycling was used to manage
approximately 734 million pounds of PCs in 2004. This quantity was approximately 9 times larger than
the other methods used to manage PCs.
Facilities in Regions 2,5,1, and 9 had the highest ratios of recycled quantity compared to PC quantity,
with double-digit ratios of 10.3, 17.9, 23.7, and 25.1, respectively.

9 For the purposes of this Report, we primarily focus on the quantities of PCs we believe they offer the greatest opportunities for
waste minimization (i.e., those quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite disposal, treatment, or energy recovery).
Recycled quantities already meet the goal of waste minimization and, as such, are not included as part of the PC quantity. Recycled
quantities of the PCs are presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding how much of the PCs are already recycled
compared to the quantities (disposal, treatment, energy recovery) potentially still available for waste minimization.

Exhibits 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 show trends concerning the treatment of PCs for 2000-2004. The PCs shown in
Exhibit 3.12 accounted for approximately 95 percent of the 35 million pounds of PCs treated in 2004. We
believe much of this increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For
example, new equipment installed at a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's ability to detect
PCs in waste streams measurements, which may mean that the increase may not be real.

Exhibits 3.15, 3.16, and 3.17 show trends concerning the recycling of PCs for 2000-2004. The PCs shown in
Exhibit 3.15 account for more than 99 percent of the 734 million pounds of PCs that were recycled in 2004,
with lead and lead compounds comprising approximately 96 percent of the total recycled quantity. Lead and
lead compounds have dominated the recycling quantity since 2000 and showed a significant increase in 2004.
In 2004, there was also a large increase in the quantity of hexachlorobenzene that was recycled compared to the
quantities recycled in 2000 and in 2003.

Regional Trends for Priority Chemicals
Exhibits 3.18, 3.19, and 3.20 show the PC quantities by EPA region. In 2004, facilities in three regions
(Regions 4, 5, and 6) accounted for approximately 78 percent of the total PC quantity. Since 2000, the PC
quantity has decreased in eight of the 10 regions, by approximately 14.7 million pounds. In six of the regions,
the decrease ranged from approximately 13 percent to 60 percent. The quantity of PCs reported by two
facilities in Region 6, in particular, prevented even a more significant decrease in 2004. We believe much of
this increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For example, new
equipment installed at a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's ability to detect PCs in waste
streams measurements, which may mean that the increase may not be real.

Exhibits 3.21 and 3.22 show the number of facilities that reported the PCs in each region from 2000-2004.
Approximately 57 percent of the facilities were located in Regions 4, 5, and 6. The increase in the number of
reporting facilities in 2001 is likely due to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds.
Since 2001 the number of facilities reporting PCs has leveled off in each of the Regions.

* The total number of facilities in this exhibit is different from the total number of facilities shown in Exhibit 3.21 because numerous facilities reported more than one PC.
* We believe much of this increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For example, new equipment installed at a Louisiana facil ty
substantially improved this facility's ability to detect PCs in waste streams compared to previous measurements, which may mean that the increase may not be real.

Exhibits 3.25 through 3.28 show how PCs were managed by facilities in the EPA regions in 2004.

State and Territory Trends for the Priority Chemicals
Exhibits 3.29 and 3.30 present PC quantities reported by facilities in the states and territories for 2000-2004,
shown by decreasing percentage of the total PC quantity in 2004. Facilities in four states accounted for
approximately 55 percent of PCs in 2004 - Louisiana (27.6%), Texas (14.0%), Indiana (7.5%), and Alabama
(5.7%).

* We believe much of this increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For example, new equipment installed at
a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's ability to detect PCs in waste streams compared to previous measurements, which may mean
that the increase may not be real.

Exhibit 3.30. States Containing Facilities That Reported 55 Percent of Priority Chemicals in 2004
2QQQ 2001 2002 2003 2004'
Year
Overall, 50 percent of facilities in the states and territories reported a decrease in the total quantity of PCs in
2004, while 50 percent reported an increase in the quantity of PCs, as compared to reported quantities in 2000.
Facilities in the following seven states reported the largest decreases in PC quantities:
Texas: -7.7 million pounds (-39.5%)
Tennessee: -4.9 million pounds (-65.0%)
Ohio: -2.2 million pounds (-46.3%)
New Jersey: -2 million pounds, (-67.4%)
Washington: -1.9 million pounds (-79.4%)
Pennsylvania: -1.7 million pounds (-32.9%)
Arkansas: -1.7 million pounds (-48.4%)
Facilities in another six states (Georgia, South Carolina, California, Illinois, Nebraska, and Missouri) reported a
decrease of 700,000 to 1.2 million pounds.
3-23
-------
Facilities in the following four states reported the largest increases in PC quantities:
Louisiana: +3.3 million pounds (+16.2%)10
Alabama: +2.7 million pounds (+126.9%)
Kentucky: +2.2 million pounds (+179.1%)
Indiana: +2.1 million pounds (+50.4%)
Facilities in another four states (Michigan, Maine, North Carolina, and West Virginia) reported an increase of
more than 500,000 pounds.
Exhibit 3.31 shows the number of facilities reporting the PCs in each state/territory for 2000-2004. In 2004,
more than 25 percent of the facilities were located in Ohio, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania.
Approximately 52 percent of the facilities were located in 11 states.

10 In 2004, the quantity significantly increased for three PCs [hexachloro-1,3-butadiene, hexachlorobenzene, and hexachloroethane]
reported by a few large facilities. For example, new equipment installed at a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's
ability to detect PCs in waste streams measurements, which may mean that the increase may not be real.

Exhibits 3.34 through 3.37 show the states with facilities that primarily managed PCs using the indicated
management method. Some observations from these exhibits are:
Disposal (See Exhibit 3.34)
Facilities in 18 states accounted for approximately 80 percent of the total disposal quantity for the PCs
in 2004.
Except for facilities in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, disposal was the primary method used to
manage PCs. Most of the disposal was offsite.
Energy Recovery (See Exhibit 3.35)
Facilities in seven states accounted for approximately 81 percent of the total energy recovery quantity in
2004.
Energy recovery was used to manage the majority of PCs in three of these states (Maine, Tennessee, and
West Virginia). Most of the energy recovery was conducted onsite.
3-27
-------
Treatment (See Exhibit 3.36)
Facilities in seven states accounted for approximately 90 percent of the total PC treatment quantity in
2004.
Treatment was used to manage the majority of PCs in three of these states (Louisiana, Kentucky, and
Arkansas). Approximately 86 percent of the PC quantity in Louisiana was managed using treatment
(primarily incineration).
Recycling (See Exhibit 3.37)
Facilities in these 12 states accounted for approximately 82 percent of the total recycling quantity of PCs
in 2004.
Most of the recycling at facilities in these states was completed onsite.

* We believe much of this increase resulted from quantities of several PCs reported by a few large facilities. For example, new equipment installed at
a Louisiana facility substantially improved this facility's ability to detect PCs in waste streams compared to previous measurements, which may mean
that the increase may not be real.

Industry Sector Trends for Priority Chemicals
In 2004, facilities in more than 320 different Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes reported PC
quantities. Exhibit 3.38 shows the PC quantities (from 2000-2004) for facilities in those 21 SICs that accounted
for 90 percent of the total quantity of PCs in 2004. Facilities in four industry sectors accounted for more than
50 percent of the total quantity of the PCs in 2004: SIC 2869 - Industrial organic chemicals nee (17.7%), SIC
3341 - Secondary non-ferrous metals (12.1%), SIC 3312 - Blast furnaces and steel mills (11.7%), and SIC
2812 - Alkalies and chlorine (9.7%).

Exhibit 3.39 shows the 26 industry sectors that had 50 percent of the facilities that reported a PC quantity in
2004. It also shows the number of facilities that reported PCs for 2000-2004. In 2004, the number of reporting
facilities in SIC 5171 increased by approximately 30 percent. We believe this increase in reporting facilities
was due to the lowering of the de minimis TRI reporting levels for naphthalene, from 1.0 percent to 0.1 percent,
starting with the 2004 reporting year.

Exhibit 3.40 shows how the PCs were managed by facilities in the 21 industry sectors in which facilities
reported 90 percent of the total PC quantity in 2004. There were no quantities of PCs reported by facilities in
SIC 2037 in 2000. However, in 2001, one facility in this industry sector, located in Maine, began reporting
quantities of naphthalene and PACs.

Exhibits 3.41 through 3.44 show how PCs were managed by facilities in the 21 industry sectors in which
facilities reported 90 percent of the total PC quantity in 2004. Some observations from these exhibits are:
Disposal (see Exhibit 3.41)
Facilities in these 21 industry sectors accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity of PCs disposed
of, as well as 50 percent of the total national PC quantity in 2004. Facilities in two of the industry
sectors: SIC 3341 - Secondary nonferrous metals and SIC 3312 - Blast furnaces and steel mills,
accounted for approximately 56 percent of the total quantity of PCs disposed of.
For many of these industry sectors, disposal was the only or the primary method used to manage
PCs in 2004.
Facilities in these industry sectors used offsite disposal for approximately 80 percent of the PCs
disposed of.
Energy Recovery (see Exhibit 3.42)
Facilities in these 11 industry sectors accounted for approximately 90 percent of the total quantity of
PCs sent to energy recovery, as well as approximately 49 percent of the total national PC quantity in
2004.
Facilities in two of the industry sectors: SIC 2895 - Carbon black and SIC 3624 - Carbon and
graphite products, accounted for approximately 45 percent of the total quantity of PCs sent to
energy recovery.
For approximately one-half of these industry sectors, energy recovery was the primary method used
to manage their PCs in 2004.
Facilities in these industry sectors used onsite energy recovery for approximately 79 percent of the
PCs sent to energy recovery.
Treatment (see Exhibit 3.43)
Facilities in these seven industry sectors accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity of PCs
treated, as well as 50 percent of the total national PC quantity in 2004. Facilities in three of the
industry sectors, SIC 2869 - Industrial organic chemicals, SIC 2812 - Alkalies and chlorine, and
SIC 2911 - Petroleum refining, accounted for approximately 72 percent of the total quantity of PCs
treated.
For many of these industry sectors, treatment was the primary method used to manage PCs in 2004.
Facilities in these industry sectors used onsite treatment for approximately 98 percent of the PCs
treated.
Recycling (see Exhibit 3.44)
Facilities in these six industry sectors accounted for approximately 91 percent of the total recycling
quantity of PCs in 2004. Two of the industry sectors: SIC 3341 - Secondary nonferrous metals and
SIC 3691 - Storage batteries, accounted for approximately 79 percent of the total quantity of
recycled PCs.
Approximately 63 percent of the recycling at facilities in these industry sectors was done onsite.

Section 4
Chemical Specific Trends Analyses for Priority Chemicals
(2000-2004)
Introduction
This section presents national, EPA region, state, and industry sector trends for each of the 24 Priority
Chemicals (PCs) reported to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). We also provide basic information
regarding the PC, including its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number, alternative names, general uses,
and potential hazards. Of the 31 PCs, seven are not reported to TRI and therefore we do not have data
regarding the generation and management of these chemicals. However, we present a description of each of
these PCs at the end of this section.

Due to the particularly high Agency priority of mercury and mercury compounds, we include an expanded
section on this chemical in which we describe the various ongoing projects to reduce or eliminate mercury.
For the purposes of this Report, we derived the quantities for each of the PCs by applying a methodology
(see Appendix C) to extract certain data elements from the overall TRI data. The methodology focuses on
extracting data for the 24 PCs reported by facilities that we believe offer the most viable potential
opportunities for reducing or eliminating PCs. For example, we filter out certain SIC codes and facilities
and only focus on quantities of PCs reported by the facility that generates the PCs and manages them using
onsite/offsite disposal, treatment, or energy recovery. Recycled quantities already meet the goal of waste
minimization and, as such, are not included as part of the PC quantity. Recycled quantities of PCs are
presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding the quantity of PCs already recycled
compared to the quantities (disposal, treatment, and energy recovery) potentially still available for waste
minimization.
4-1
-------
Also, air emissions and surface water discharges are not included. As such, please note that the quantities
of numerous of PCs, derived using this methodology, may appear different from the quantities observed in
the raw TRI data because the quantity for a given PC is a subset of the overall TRI data for that PC.
Priority Chemicals Reportable to TRI
For each of the 24 PCs (in alphabetical order) that are reported to TRI, we present national, regional, state,
and industrial generation trends.
4-2
-------
1,2,4 - Trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB)
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 120-82-1
Alternate Names - 1,2,4-trichlorobenzol
General Uses - This chemical is used as an intermediate or building block to make herbicides. It is
also used as a solvent and dielectric fluid, degreaser, and lubricant.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is toxic; inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact can cause severe
injury or death. It is also combustible.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL - In 2004, 17 facilities reported approximately 1.9 million pounds of 1,2,4 - TCB.
Approximately 93 percent of this quantity was incinerated. Since 2000, treatment (incineration) has
been this chemical's primary management method.
REGIONAL - Five of the 17 facilities that reported this chemical in 2004 were located in Region 6.
Region 6 facilities reported approximately 87 percent of the total quantity reported in 2004.
STATE - Facilities in 13 states reported this PC in 2004; including facilities in five states that
accounted for 99 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
FACILITIES - One Louisiana facility reported approximately 80 percent of the total national
quantity, and it also accounted for most of the increase of approximately 200,000 pounds in 2004.
MANAGEMENT - Treatment (incineration) has been the primary method used to manage
1,2,4-TCB, including approximately 93 percent of 1,2,4-TCB in 2004. Recycling of 1,2,4-TCB
has significantly decreased since 2000, from 1.2 million pounds to approximately 38,000 pounds.
INDUSTRY SECTORS - In 2004, facilities in 10 SICs reported this chemical, including one
facility (SIC 2812-Alkalies and chlorine) reporting nearly 80 percent of the total quantity. SIC
2812 facilities also reported the largest quantities of 1,2,4-TCB from 2001-2004.
National Trends:
In 2004, 17 facilities reported approximately 1.9 million pounds of 1,2,4-TCB. Although the number of
reporting facilities has remained relatively constant from 2000-2004, significant increases and decreases in
the quantity of 1,2,4-TCB occurred in this timeframe. In 2001, the quantity increased by approximately 80
percent, but then decreased by approximately 30 percent in 2002 and again increased, by an average 11
percent, in both 2003 and 2004. Since 2000, treatment (incineration) has been the primary method used to
manage 1,2,4-TCB, including approximately 93 percent of 1,2,4-TCB in 2004 (Exhibit 4.1).

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.2 shows the number of facilities that reported 1,2,4-TCB in 2004 within a range of reported
quantities. For example, one facility reported approximately 80 percent of the total national quantity of
1,2,4-TCB in 2004. This same facility also accounted for most of the increase of approximately 200,000
pounds in 2004; this increase is believed to have resulted from a combination of an increase in facility
production and quantity of wastes (containing 1,2,4 -TCB) incinerated from offsite sources. At another
facility, a smaller but still significant portion of the overall increase of this PC in 2004 was due to an
increase in the burning of 1,2,4-TCB as a surrogate in incinerator trial burns.

State Trends:
Exhibit 4.6 shows the quantity of 1,2,4-TCB reported by facilities in 21 states, between 2000 and 2004;
facilities in only 13 states reported this PC in 2004. Facilities in six of these states accounted for 99 percent
of the total quantity of 1,2,4-TCB in 2004. Exhibits 4.7, 4.8, and 4.9 show trends for the quantity of
1,2,4-TCB reported by facilities in each of these states.
One facility in Louisiana reported approximately 80 percent of the total quantity. This same facility has
accounted for the majority of the total national quantity of 1,2,4-TCB reported since 2001. The nearly
250,000 pound increase reported in 2004 by this facility likely resulted from a combination of an increase
in facility production and quantity of wastes (containing 1,2,4-TCB) incinerated from offsite sources.
Other highlights concerning trends for the reported quantity of 1,2,4-TCB in states include:
In Oregon, a federal facility accounted for the total quantity of 1,2,4-TCB reported since 2002. This
facility burned 1,2,4-TCB as a surrogate in trial burns to ensure its incinerators were properly
operating.
In Texas, the quantity of 1,2,4-TCB facilities reported decreased by approximately 400,000 pounds
since 2000, but then increased significantly in 2004. Much of this increase was likely due to offsite
wastes incinerated in one facility's industrial furnace.
In California and Illinois, significant decreases occurred. The facility that reported most of the
1,2,4-TCB in California in both 2002 and 2003 did not report a quantity in 2004. The Illinois facility
that has accounted for the total quantity of this PC in Illinois since 2000 was shut down in July 2004.

Alternate Names - Collunosol, Dowicide 2
General Uses - This chemical is used as a fungicide to destroy or prevent fungi from growing. It is also
used as a herbicide and to make other pesticides.
Potential Hazards - If skin comes into contact with this chemical, it may burn. It can also irritate eyes,
nose, pharynx, and lungs.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL - In 2004, the quantity of 2,4,5-TCP decreased by 80 percent, compared to the 2003
quantity.
MANAGEMENT - This decrease reflects a smaller volume of wastewater (containing 2,4,5-TCP)
received from offsite sources for treatment.
FACILITY - From 2000 to 2004, only one facility (SIC 2869-Industrial organic chemicals, nee),
located in New Jersey, reported a PC quantity of 2,4,5-TCP. Almost all the 2,4,5-TCP was treated
onsite by this facility.
National Trends:
From 2000 to 2004, only one facility reported a PC quantity of 2,4,5-TCP (Exhibit 4.14). In 2004, the quantity
decreased by 80 percent, compared to the 2003 quantity; this decrease reflects a smaller volume of wastewater
(containing 2,4,5-TCP) received from offsite sources for treatment by this facility.

Anthracene
Chemical Information:
CAS Number-120-12-7
Alternate Names - paraNaphthalene, anthracin, anthraxcene
General Uses - This chemical is used to make dyes, plastics, and pesticides. It has been used to make
smoke screens and scintillation counter crystals.
Potential Hazards - This chemical can cause irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. It can also
irritate the gastrointestinal tract if swallowed. It is combustible.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL - In 2004, approximately 521,000 pounds of anthracene were reported. The quantity of
anthracene decreased by approximately 200,000 pounds from 2000 to 2002, but increased in both 2003
and in 2004. Most of the increased quantity in 2004 was due to the wastes resulting from clean-up and
cleanout of tanks at two facilities - one facility in Alabama that is being shutdown and from the cleaning
of tanks and process equipment for a portion of a facility in Texas that is being shutdown.
REGIONAL - In 2004, approximately 89 percent of the anthracene was reported by facilities in Regions
4 and 6, including 75 percent in Region 4.
STATES - Although facilities in 19 states reported a PC quantity of anthracene in 2004, facilities in
only three of these states (Kentucky, Alabama, and Texas) accounted for approximately 89 percent of
the total PC quantity of anthracene.
MANAGEMENT - Of the approximately 521,000 pounds of anthracene reported in 2004, 63 percent
was treated, 25 percent was sent to energy recovery, and 13 percent was land disposed. Also,
approximately 180,000 pounds of anthracene were recycled in 2004.
FACILITIES - Of the 39 facilities that reported anthracene in 2004, one facility accounted for
approximately 56 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Seven of the 37 facilities accounted for
approximately 95 percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene in 2004.
INDUSTRY SECTORS - Facilities in five of the 10 industry sectors that reported anthracene in 2004
accounted for nearly all of the total quantity. Facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum) reported the
highest quantity and accounted for approximately 56 percent of the total quantity of anthracene in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.21 presents the total PC quantity (pounds) of anthracene for 2000-2004, showing the disposal,
treatment, energy recovery, and recycling quantities. In 2004, approximately 521,000 pounds of anthracene
were reported. The quantity of anthracene decreased by approximately 200,000 pounds from 2000 to 2002, but
then increased in both 2003 and in 2004. Much of the increased quantity in 2003 can be attributed to a couple
of facilities that had not previously reported anthracene. The increased quantity of anthracene reported in 2004
was primarily attributed to wastes generated from the clean-up and cleanout of tanks at a facility that is
undergoing shutdown operations; complete shutdown is expected in 2008.
In 2004, 63 percent of the anthracene was treated, 25 percent was sent to energy recovery, and 13 percent was
land disposed. From 2000 to 2002, energy recovery had been the primary method used to manage anthracene;
in 2003, treatment became the predominant management method.
4-16
-------
In 2004, approximately 180,000 pounds of anthracene were recycled. Over the five-year period of 2000-2004,
recycling of anthracene reached a low point in 2003. but then increased by 33 percent in 2004.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.24 shows the pounds of anthracene facilities reported for each EPA region from 2000 to 2004. In
2004, approximately 89 percent of the anthracene was reported by facilities in Regions 4 and 6, including 75
percent in Region 4. Facilities in Region 4 reported significant increases in both 2003 and in 2004. In Region
6, the quantity of anthracene more than doubled in 2004 from the previous year. Previous to 2004, facilities in
Region 6 had shown a trend of steadily decreasing quantities of anthracene. The increase in 2004 was offset by
another almost 50 percent decrease by facilities in Region 5 - for the second year in a row.

Exhibit 4.25 shows how facilities managed anthracene within each EPA region in 2004. Most of the PC
quantity of anthracene was treated onsite, particularly by facilities in Region 4. However, facilities in Region 4
also used energy recovery to manage a significant quantity of anthracene. Offsite disposal was the primary
means of managing anthracene in Regions 3 and 5. Facilities in Regions 4 and 5 reported most of the recycled
anthracene in 2004.

State Trends:
Exhibit 4.26 shows the quantity of anthracene in the 21 states where facilities reported this chemical between
2000 and 2004. Although facilities in 19 states reported a PC quantity of anthracene in 2004, facilities in only
three of these states (Kentucky, Alabama, and Texas) accounted for approximately 89 percent of the total PC
quantity of anthracene.
Some additional highlights are:
Although Texas facilities reported an increased quantity in 2004, there was an 81 percent reduction since
2000. Compared to 2003 quantities, the quantity of anthracene increased in each of these three states in
2004. Approximately 19,000 pounds of anthracene was due to wastes generated from the cleaning of
tanks and process equipment for a portion of a facility in Texas that is being shutdown.
An additional 90,000 pounds - most of the increase reported in 2004 - was due to the wastes resulting
from clean-up and cleanout of tanks at a facility in Alabama that is being shutdown.
Facilities in a number of states, including Michigan and Illinois, reported significant decreases,
compared to quantities reported in 2003. The shutdown of a facility in Michigan and the switch by a
facility in Illinois to a different wash-oil stream that did not contain anthracene were the primary
reasons for the decrease in 2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.32 shows the pounds of anthracene reported by facilities in 14 industry sectors (SIC codes) from 2000
to 2004. Facilities in five of the 10 industry sectors that reported anthracene in 2004 accounted for nearly all of
the total quantity. Facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum) reported the highest quantities, accounting for
approximately 56 percent of the total PC quantity of anthracene reported in 2004. One facility in this sector,
located in Kentucky, began reporting anthracene in 2003 and accounted for approximately 99 percent of the
quantity for SIC 3334.
Facilities in SICs 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) and 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported
large increases in 2004. One facility, in each of these two industry sectors, accounted for most of the increased
quantity in 2004. In both cases, the increased quantity of anthracene resulted from shutdown activities - wastes
resulting from the cleanout of tanks and other process equipment.
The large decrease reported by the facility in SIC 2821 (Plastic materials and resins) resulted from a switchover
to a different wash-oil stream in 2004 that did not contain anthracene.

Exhibit 4.33 shows how anthracene was managed by facilities in the five industry sectors that accounted for over 99 percent of the total quantity of
this PC in 2004. Most of the anthracene was treated, primarily onsite, particularly by facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum). Facilities in the SIC
2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) industry sector primarily sent the anthracene to offsite energy recovery and offsite disposal. Facilities in SIC
2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) and SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) accounted for most of the recycling of anthracene in 2004.

Benzo(g,h,i)perylene (B(g,h,i)P)
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 191-24-2
Alternate Names - 1,12-benzoperylene
General Uses - B(g,h,i)P 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 - Although some PAHs have caused tumors in laboratory animals, B(g,h,i)P has not
been shown to be a cancer concern. This chemical was added to the TRI based on its ecotoxicity.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL - Between 2000 and 2002, the quantity of B(g,h,i)P decreased by approximately 1.7
million pounds - an 85 percent decrease. However, the quantity has been steadily increasing since
2002; in 2004 approximately 374,000 pounds were reported.
REGIONAL - In 2004, approximately 88 percent of B(g,h,i)P was reported by facilities in Regions 3, 4,
and 6.
STATES - Facilities in 46 states reported a quantity of B(g,h,i)P in 2004; 12 of these states reported
approximately 95 percent of the total quantity. Tennessee facilities, with approximately 54 percent of the
total quantity of B(g,h,i)P, reported a decrease of 89 percent since 2000.
FACILITIES - Of the 380 facilities that reported B(g,h,i)P in 2004, one facility accounted for 54
percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
INDUSTRY SECTOR - Facilities in seven industry sectors reported approximately 95 percent of the
B(g,h,i)P in 2004. Facilities in SIC 3624 (Carbon and graphite products) reported the highest quantities,
accounting for approximately 58 percent of the total quantity, mostly sent to onsite energy recovery.
Most of this industry sector's quantity of B(g,h,i)P was reported by one facility, located in Tennessee.
MANAGEMENT - Energy recovery has been the primary method used for managing B(g,h,i)P,
accounting for 68 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.34 shows the number of facilities that reported B(g,h,i)P in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. B(g,h,i)P was only reported to TRI
beginning in 2000. Between 2000 and 2002, the quantity of B(g,h,i)P decreased by approximately 1.8 million
pounds - an 85 percent decrease. However, the quantity has been steadily increasing since 2002; in 2004
approximately 374,000 pounds were reported. Energy recovery has been the primary management method used
for B(g,h,i)P, accounting for 68 percent of the total quantity in 2004. Although recycling of B(g,h,i)P decreased
significantly in 2003, recycling increased by approximately 35 percent in 2004.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.35 shows the number of facilities that reported B(g,h,i)P within various quantity ranges. Of the 380
facilities that reported B(g,h,i)P in 2004, one facility accounted for 54 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical. Seven of the facilities accounted for 81 percent of the total PC quantity of B(g,h,i)P in 2004.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.36 and 4.37 show the pounds of B(g,h,i)P facilities reported for each EPA region for 2000-2004. In
2004, approximately 88 percent of the B(g,h,i)P was reported by facilities in Regions 3, 4, and 6. Since 2000,
the total quantity of B(g,h,i)P decreased by approximately 1.7 million pounds; 95 percent (1.6 million pounds)
of this considerable decrease was reported by facilities in Region 4 - despite a 34 percent increase in 2004.
Most of this increased quantity in Region 4 is attributed to an increase in the use of coal tar pitch (containing
B(g,h,i)P) at a facility in Tennessee. In terms of quantity, facilities in Region 10 reported the second largest
decrease, approximately 78,000 pounds, compared to quantities reported in 2000.
Some facilities may have mistakenly reported on their TRI Form R the threshold quantity of B(g,h,i)P, 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
Report.

State Trends:
Facilities in 46 states reported a quantity of B(g,h,i)P in 2004. Facilities in 12 of these states reported
approximately 95 percent of the total national quantity (Exhibit 4.39).
Other trend highlights are:
Tennessee facilities, with approximately 54 percent of the total quantity of B(g,h,i)P, had a decrease of 89
percent since 2000, although the quantity of B(g,h,i)P increased from the 2003 quantity reported by facilities
in Tennessee; the quantity of B(g,h,i)P also increased in facilities in West Virginia. Increased production at
one facility in both Tennessee and West Virginia accounted for most of the increase.
In Pennsylvania, the 2003 quantity of B(g,h,i)P more than tripled, but then was reduced by half in 2004.
This increase and decrease was primarily due to quantities from the cleaning of tanks and off-spec product
reported by one facility in 2003.
Michigan facilities reported only a very small quantity of B(g,h,i)P for 2000-2002, but reported a dramatic
increase of almost 10,000 pounds in 2003 and then a subsequent 30 percent decrease in 2004. These
quantities resulted from the processing of residuals and tank cleanouts at a facility that is being shutdown.

Exhibits 4.42 and 4.43 show how B(g,h,i)P was managed by facilities in the 12 states that accounted for 95
percent of the total B(g,h,i)P quantity in 2004. Energy recovery was the primary method for managing
B(g,h,i)P in six of these 12 states. Most of the B(g,h,i)P was managed using onsite energy recovery, with one
facility in Tennessee reporting approximately 81 percent of the total onsite energy recovery quantity. Offsite
disposal was used primarily by facilities in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. In Ohio, New York,
and South Carolina facilities, the B(g,h,i)P was mostly treated onsite. Approximately 94 percent of the
recycling of B(g,h,i)P was reported by facilities in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Texas.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.44 shows the quantity of B(g,h,i)P for the seven industry sectors (SIC codes) where facilities reported
approximately 95 percent of this chemical in 2004. Facilities in SIC 3624 (Carbon and graphite products)
reported the highest quantities, accounting for approximately 58 percent of the total quantity of B(g,h,i)P
reported in 2004. Most of this industry sector's quantity of B(g,h,i)P was reported by one facility, located in
Tennessee. This facility has decreased their quantity of B(g,h,i)P by 46 percent since 2000. but reported an
increase of approximately 67,000 pounds (+50 percent) in 2004. This increase was attributed to an increase in
the use of coal tar pitch for producing carbon electrodes.
The increased quantity reported by facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates) was primarily due to
an increase in production at a facility in West Virginia. For facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel
mills), the 2003 quantity of B(g,h,i)P increased dramatically in 2003, but then decreased by almost 50 percent in
2004. This increased quantity was due to the changing of SIC codes by a facility in Pennsylvania - from SIC
2865 to SIC 3312 in 2003.
Production wastes, as well as wastes generated from the cleaning of tanks and from off-spec product at this
same facility accounted for most of the increased quantity for SIC 3312 facilities in 2003. This facility's
change of SIC codes also is reflected in the decreased quantity for SIC 2865 facilities in 2003.

Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds (Cadmium)
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:
NATIONAL - In 2004, 63 facilities reported approximately 885,000 pounds of cadmium. From 2000 to
2002, the quantity of cadmium decreased by approximately 50 percent, but has increased each year since
2002.
REGIONAL - In 2004, facilities in three regions (Regions 4, 6, and 10) reported approximately 75
percent of cadmium; Region 6 facilities accounted for approximately 46 percent of the total quantity.
STATES - Facilities in 34 states reported cadmium quantities for 2000-2004; in 2004, facilities in 26
states reported this PC. Facilities in nine of the states reported 90 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
A facility located in Oklahoma (SIC 3341) accounted for virtually 100 percent of the total state quantity
and approximately 44 percent of the total national quantity of cadmium in 2004. The cadmium from this
facility was derived from electric arc furnace dust during the recovery process to extract zinc and lead
from these dusts.
MANAGEMENT - In 2004, the entire PC quantity of cadmium was land disposed, primarily using
offsite disposal (79%). Also, approximately 634,000 pounds of cadmium were recycled.
FACILITIES - Two facilities accounted for approximately 60 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical. Twelve facilities accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity.
INDUSTRY SECTORS - Facilities in 42 industry sectors reported cadmium in one or more years from
2000 to 2004; facilities in 25 of these industry sectors reported this PC in 2004. Facilities in eight
industry sectors accounted for 95 percent of this chemical in 2004. Facilities in SIC 3341 (Secondary
nonferrous metals) reported the highest quantities, accounting for approximately 49 percent of the total
quantity of cadmium reported in 2004. Approximately 91 percent of this quantity was reported by one
facility, located in Oklahoma.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.46 shows the number of facilities that reported cadmium in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. The number of facilities that
reported cadmium since 2001 has been relatively constant; 63 facilities reported this PC in 2004. From 2000 to
2002, the quantity of cadmium decreased by approximately 50 percent but has increased each year since 2002.
Even so, the 885,000 pounds of cadmium reported in 2004 represents a decrease of approximately 41 percent,
compared to the quantity reported in 2000. A large percentage of the cadmium was sent to land disposal, with
approximately 634,000 pounds of this PC being recycled in 2004.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already
recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste
minimization.
Exhibit 4.47 shows the number of facilities that reported cadmium, within ranges of quantities. Of the 63
facilities that reported cadmium in 2004, two facilities accounted for approximately 60 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical. Twelve of the 63 facilities accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity.

Exhibits 4.55 and 4.56 show how cadmium was managed by facilities in the nine states that accounted for 90
percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2004. A large percentage of the cadmium from facilities in these
states was land disposed, mostly offsite. A facility in Idaho land disposed all its cadmium onsite.
Approximately 72,000 pounds of cadmium were recycled in 2004. Most of the recycling was completed offsite.
A facility in Oklahoma accounted for approximately 53 percent of the total quantity of cadmium recycled in
2004. The cadmium from this facility was derived from electric arc furnace dust during the recovery process to
extract zinc and lead from these dusts. Overall, additional recycling of cadmium was hindered by such factors
as the high cost of recovering low concentrations of this metal and its current relatively low market value.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Facilities in 42 industry sectors reported cadmium in one or more years from 2000 to 2004; facilities in 25 of
these industry sectors reported this PC in 2004. Exhibit 4.57 shows the quantities of cadmium reported by
facilities in the eight industry sectors that accounted for 95 percent of this chemical in 2004. The quantity
decreased in five of the eight industry sectors, compared to the quantities reported in 2000. Facilities in SIC
3341 (Secondary nonferrous metals) reported the highest quantities, accounting for approximately 49 percent of
the total quantity of cadmium reported in 2004. Approximately 91 percent of this quantity was reported by one
facility, located in Oklahoma. The process of recovering zinc and lead from electric arc furnace dusts at this
facility generates wastes containing cadmium. Facilities in the SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee)
industry sector reported approximately 21 percent of the total quantity of cadmium in 2004. For this industry
sector, one facility located in Idaho reported approximately 80 percent of the total quantity of cadmium. The
cadmium quantity reported by this facility is derived from phosphate ores used to produce pure phosphorous.
The quantity reported is primarily a function of how much phosphorous is produced and the concentration of
cadmium in the phosphate ores. Although facilities in this sector reported a decrease of approximately 42
percent compared to the quantity reported in 2000, the quantity increased by 87 percent in 2004, compared to
2003.

Dibenzofuran
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 132-64-9
Alternate Names - diphenylene oxide
General Uses - This chemical is used as an insecticide and to make other chemicals. It is made 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:
NATIONAL - Compared to the quantity of dibenzofuran reported in 2000, there was a 73 percent
decrease in 2004.
REGIONAL - In 2004, facilities in Regions 3 and 5 reported most of the dibenzofuran.
STATES - Facilities in four states (Michigan, Illinois, West Virginia, Pennsylvania) reported
approximately 98 percent of the total quantity of dibenzofuran.
MANAGEMENT - In 2004, approximately 55 percent of the dibenzofuran was land disposed.
Approximately 25 percent of the dibenzofuran was sent to offsite energy recovery - all from one
facility, located in Illinois. Approximately 19 percent was treated.
FACILITIES - Eleven facilities reported approximately 25,000 pounds of dibenzofuran in 2004. Of
these, four facilities accounted for approximately 97 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
INDUSTRY SECTORS - Eleven facilities in six industry sectors reported dibenzofuran in 2004; 87
percent of the total quantity was reported by three facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and
intermediates).
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.59 shows the number of facilities that reported dibenzofuran in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this
PC that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. The number of facilities that
reported dibenzofuran since 2000 has been relatively constant with 11 to 12 facilities reporting each year.
Compared to the quantity of dibenzofuran reported in 2000, there was a 73 percent decrease in 2004.
Furthermore, since 2002, there have been significant decreases of approximately 70 percent in 2003 and again
in 2004. The decreased quantities in 2003 and 2004 were mostly attributed to the shutdown of facilities in
Michigan and Ohio, beginning in May 2003.
Since 2000, 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 2004, approximately 55 percent of the dibenzofuran was land disposed. Recycling of
dibenzofuran reached a peak in 2002 when 271,000 pounds were recycled; in 2004, approximately 11,000
pounds of dibenzofuran were recycled.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.60 shows the number of facilities that reported dibenzofuran within various quantity ranges. Of the
11 facilities that reported dibenzofuran in 2004, four facilities accounted for approximately 97 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.61 and 4.62 show the quantity of dibenzofuran in the four EPA regions where facilities reported this
chemical between 2000 and 2004. In 2004, facilities in only 3 regions reported dibenzofuran; nearly all of the
quantity was reported by facilities in Regions 3 and 5. Since 2000, facilities in Region 5 have reported most of
the dibenzofuran. However, the Region 5 quantities decreased dramatically in both 2003 and 2004. These
decreased quantities are attributed to the shutdown of facilities in Michigan and Ohio, beginning in May 2003.
The decommissioning of a facility, located in Ohio, is believed to be the reason for the significant increase of
dibenzofuran in 2002. Decommissioning activities such as the cleaning of tanks and process equipment and
cleanups, generated additional quantities of wastes containing dibenzofuran. Compared to quantities reported in
2003, facilities in both Regions 3 and 4 also reported significant decreases.

Exhibit 4.63 shows how dibenzofuran was managed by facilities within each of the three EPA regions where
facilities reported this chemical in 2004. Overall, approximately 55 percent of the dibenzofuran was land
disposed offsite. Region 5 facilities reported most of the dibenzofuran sent to offsite land disposal; a facility in
Michigan, undergoing shutdown operations, accounted for approximately 8,100 pounds or 82 percent of the
total quantity sent to land disposal by facilities in Region 5. Approximately 25 percent of the dibenzofuran was
sent to offsite energy recovery - all from one facility, located in Illinois. Of the 30,000 pounds of dibenzofuran
recycled by these facilities in 2004, a facility in Region 5 accounted for 99 percent of the total recycled
quantity.

State Trends:
Although facilities in nine states reported dibenzofuran in 2004, facilities in four of these states accounted for
approximately 98 percent of the total quantity of dibenzofuran. Exhibit 4.64 shows the quantity of dibenzofuran
that was reported by facilities in 11 states for 2000-2004. Highlights concerning trends for the reported
quantities of dibenzofuran in states include:
One facility, in Michigan, which only began reporting dibenzofuran in 2003, accounted for almost 68
percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2003 and 33 percent of the total quantity in 2004. This
facility is being shutdown.
Facilities in Ohio have significantly reduced dibenzofuran since 2000. The decommissioning of a facility,
located in Ohio, is believed to be the reason for the significant increase in 2002 and subsequent decrease of
dibenzofuran thereafter. Initial decommissioning activities, such as the cleaning of tanks and process
equipment and cleanups, generated additional quantities of wastes containing dibenzofuran.
One facility in West Virginia had more than 350 percent increase in 2003, compared to 2002, and then a 52
percent decrease in 2004. These year-to-year changes were attributed to shifts in production rates.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.69 shows the dibenzofuran quantity for the eight industry sectors reported by facilities in 2000-2004.
Eleven facilities in six industry sectors reported dibenzofuran in 2004; 87 percent of the total quantity was
reported by three facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates). Compared to the quantities reported
in 2000, facilities in this industry sector reported a decrease of approximately 69,000 pounds of dibenzofuran in
2004. In 2002, there was a dramatic increase in the quantity of dibenzofuran. This increase was attributed to
the decommissioning of an SIC 2865 facility, located in Ohio, at which initial decommissioning activities such
as the cleaning of tanks and process equipment and cleanups, generating additional quantities of wastes
containing dibenzofuran. Although there was an increase in the quantity of dibenzofuran reported by facilities
in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) beginning in 2003, this increase was due to the quantity reported by
a facility that had reported as a SIC 2865 facility previous to 2003.
Exhibit 4.70 shows how facilities managed dibenzofuran in the two industry sectors that accounted for 98
percent of the total quantity of this PC in 2004. 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. Very little recycling of
dibenzofuran was reported by facilities in these two industry sectors in 2004. However, one facility in SIC
4925 (Gas production and/or distribution), in addition to treating a relatively small quantity of dibenzofuran,
recycled approximately 29,000 pounds of this chemical in 2004.

Dioxin and Dioxin-Like Compounds (Dioxin)
Chemical Information:
Dioxin refers to a group of chemical compounds that share similar chemical and biological properties. Several
hundred of these compounds exist and are members of two closely related families: 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 can 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 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). Also, high doses of dioxin can cause a skin disease called chloracne.
Introduction:
Dioxins are of particular concern to EPA because they are:
Persistent: they break down very slowly and remain in the environment for many years after release,
Bioaccumulative: they are retained in fatty tissues and biomagnify within the food web (i.e., they increase in
concentration as they progress up the food chain) and serve as a source of exposure to sensitive organisms;
and
Toxic: they cause a variety of long-term adverse health effects, including chloracne, immunotoxicity,
developmental and reproductive effects, and cancer.
Dioxins are generally produced and released by industrial processes in relatively small amounts compared with
amounts of other TRI-listed chemicals produced and released. Because of this, and the fact that certain dioxins
are toxic at very low levels of exposure, a much lower TRI reporting threshold was established for dioxins (0.1
gram per year). As such, facilities report dioxins to TRI in grams. For the purposes of this section, we present
our trends analyses using grams, rounded to the nearest whole gram. Please note that most of the dioxin
quantities in the database are expressed in terms of very small quantities - even up to seven decimal places. In
rounding the quantities to the nearest whole gram, certain quantities will appear to be zero. We made this
conversion to facilitate our trends analyses. In no way should this conversion be interpreted as minimizing the
importance of smaller quantities of dioxin - which are of considerable concern.
Elsewhere in this document, where analyses of trends for aggregated quantities of PCs are presented, we
converted the quantities (grams) of dioxin to pounds (using 454.5 grams/pound) and rounded these quantities to
the nearest whole pound. We made this conversion to provide uniformity and consistency in the quantities used
4-56
-------
to perform analyses of trends at the more aggregated levels. Again, in no way should this conversion and
rounding be interpreted as minimizing the potential health affects associated with smaller quantities of dioxin.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL - In 2004, approximately 220,000 grams of dioxins were reported by 378 facilities. This
was a 24 percent decrease compared to the quantity reported in 2000 and a 30 percent decrease from the
quantity reported in 2003.
REGIONAL - In 2004, facilities in Regions 4, 5, and 6 reported 97 percent of the dioxins; Region 6
facilities alone reported approximately 61 percent of the total quantity.
STATES - In 2004, 93 percent of the dioxins were reported by facilities in five states (Louisiana, Texas,
Mississippi, Michigan, and South Carolina); facilities in Louisiana reported approximately 41 percent of
the total quantity.
FACILITIES - Of the 378 facilities that reported dioxins in 2004, seven facilities accounted for 89
percent of the total quantity of this chemical; 18 facilities accounted for 96 percent.
MANAGEMENT - From 2000 to 2004, dioxins were managed primarily by treatment. In 2004,
treatment was used to manage 77 percent of the dioxin quantity, followed by disposal (17 percent) and
energy recovery (6 percent).
INDUSTRY SECTOR - Facilities in 39 industry sectors reported dioxins in 2004. However, facilities
in only three of the industry sectors (SIC-2869-Industrial organic chemicals, SIC 2491-Wood
preserving, and SIC 2812-Alkalies and chlorine) reported approximately 94 percent of the total quantity
of dioxins in 2004. Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported approximately 55
percent of the total quantity; this was a significant increase from the quantities reported in 2000, as well
as in 2003.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.71 shows the number of facilities that reported dioxins in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. The number of facilities that
reported dioxins since 2000 has been relatively constant, with an average of 372 facilities reporting each year.
In 2004, approximately 220,000 grams of dioxins were reported. Compared to the quantity of dioxins reported
in 2000, there was a 24 percent decrease in 2004. Compared to 2003, the quantity decreased by 30 percent from
the quantity reported in 2003.
In 2003, the quantity of dioxins increased significantly, by approximately 27 percent, compared to the previous
year. Much of this increase was due to the 138,000 grams 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). as well as in 2004.
From 2000 to 2004, dioxins were managed primarily by treatment. In 2004, treatment was used to manage 77
percent of the dioxin quantity, followed by disposal (17 percent) and energy recovery (6 percent). Although
EPA does not consider recycling to be a valid management method for dioxins, a very small amount of dioxin
was reported as recycled.

'Note: EPA does not consider recycling to be a valid management method for dioxins; however, a very small amount of dioxin was reported to be
recycled. Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented simply for consistency and completeness.
Exhibit 4.72 shows the number of facilities that reported dioxins within various quantity ranges. Of the 378
facilities that reported dioxins in 2004, seven facilities accounted for 89 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical; 18 facilities accounted for 96 percent. Although the overwhelming majority of facilities reported
relatively small quantities of dioxins, it is important to remember that even very small quantities of this
chemical are of concern as evidenced by the TRI reporting threshold of 0.1 grams.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.73 and 4.74 show the quantity (grams) of dioxins reported by facilities within each EPA region
between 2000 and 2004. In 2004, facilities in Regions 4, 5, and 6 reported 97 percent of the dioxins; Region 6
facilities alone reported approximately 61 percent of the total quantity. Facilities in Region 6 have consistently
reported the largest quantity of dioxins since 2000. Compared to quantities of dioxin reported in 2000:
Quantities in 2004 decreased in eight of the 10 EPA regions. In terms of quantities, facilities in Regions
2, 5, and 6 reported the largest decreases. In terms of percent decrease, facilities in Regions 1,2, 9 and
10 reported at least a 50 percent decrease in 2004.
Facilities in Regions 4 and 7 reported increased quantities of dioxins in 2004, compared to the quantities
reported in 2000; large increases, compared to 2003 quantities, also were reported by facilities in these
two regions.
4-58
-------
Compared to quantities of dioxin reported in 2003:
Facilities in Region 6 reported approximately 49 percent less quantity in 2004. A wood preserving
facility in Louisiana accounted for most of this decrease.
Facilities in Region 3 reported approximately 86 percent less quantity in 2004. Most of this decrease
occurred at a facility in West Virginia. This facility attributed the decrease to the implementation of
Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for its incinerator.
Significant increases were reported by facilities in Regions 4 and 7. Most of the increase in Region 4
was due to how a wood preserving facility in Mississippi estimated the concentration of dioxins in its
wastes. Most of the increase in Region 7 was reported by a wood preserving facility in Missouri; in
2004, this facility cleaned out sludge from a process wastewater treatment tank, resulting in
approximately a five-fold increase in the reported quantity of dioxin.

Exhibit 4.75 shows how dioxins were managed by facilities within each EPA region in 2004. Facilities in seven
EPA regions used treatment as the primary method for managing their dioxins. Facilities in Region 5 used
treatment and disposal for approximately equal portions of the dioxin quantity. Most of the dioxin reported by
facilities in Region 7 was sent to offsite energy recovery. All of the dioxins reported by Region 8 facilities were
sent to offsite disposal.

State Trends:
Although facilities in 42 states reported dioxins in 2004, Exhibits 4.76 through 4.79 only show the quantities for
2000-2004 for the five states in which facilities reported approximately 93 percent of the dioxins in 2004. Some
highlights are:
Facilities in Louisiana reported approximately 41 percent of the total quantity of dioxins in 2004. This
quantity is an increase of approximately 68 percent compared to the quantity for 2000, but is a 55 percent
decrease from the quantity reported in 2003.
Facilities in Texas reported 20 percent of the total dioxins quantity; since 2001 the quantity has steadily
decreased each year.
In 2004, facilities in Mississippi reported a large increase in dioxins, compared to quantities reported each
year since 2000. Most of this increase was due to how a wood preserving facility in Mississippi estimated
the concentration of dioxins in its wastes.
Similarly, most of the increase reported by South Carolina facilities in 2004 was due to increased production
and use of a different technique by a wood preserving facility for estimating the quantity of dioxins in
wastes.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Facilities in 39 industry sectors reported dioxins in 2004. Exhibit 4.82 shows the quantity of dioxins for the
three industry sectors where facilities reported approximately 94 percent of the total quantity of dioxins in 2004.
Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported approximately 55 percent of the total
quantity of dioxins in 2004. For this industry sector, the quantity reported in 2004 was a significant increase
from the quantities reported in 2000, as well as in 2003.
Facilities in SIC 2491 (Wood preserving) reported a large increase compared to the quantity reported in 2000,
but had approximately a 66 percent decrease compared to the 2003 quantity. The large increase reported in
2003 and subsequent large decrease in 2004 was due to the quantity of dioxins reported by a wood preserving
facility, in Louisiana. Facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) reported a decrease of approximately 77
percent compared to the quantity reported in 2000. In 2004, the quantity of dioxins reported by SIC 2812
facilities increased by approximately 73 percent compared to 2003.

Exhibit 4.83 shows how dioxins were managed by facilities in the three industry sectors that accounted for
approximately 94 percent of the total quantity of dioxins in 2004. Treatment was the primary means of
managing dioxins by facilities in all three of these industry sectors; approximately 79 percent of the dioxins
were treated by these facilities in 2004. In 2004, facilities in both SIC 2869 and SIC 2812 land disposed
approximately 17 percent of their dioxin quantities. Only facilities in SIC 2491 reported managing their dioxins
using energy recovery.

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 United States 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 -1,4,5,6,7,8-Heptachloro-3a, 4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-ethanoindene, Heptachlorane
General Use - Heptachlor is now severely restricted and is presently only used in the United States 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:
NATIONAL: Heptachlor was not reported in 2000 or 2001. In 2002 through 2004, only relatively small
quantities were reported.
STATE/FACILITY: For 2002-2003, only one facility, located in New Jersey, reported relatively small
quantities of heptachlor. In 2004, this facility and another facility located in Texas reported heptachlor.
The quantities of heptachlor reported by both these facilities were initially generated offsite and brought
onsite for treatment.
MANAGEMENT: Approximately 99 percent of the heptachlor was treated (incinerated) onsite by the
Texas facility; the New Jersey facility disposed of most of its heptachlor and also treated a small
quantity in its onsite wastewater treatment plant.
RECYCLING: No recycling of heptachlor was reported.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.84 shows the number of facilities that reported heptachlor in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2002 through 2004, only relatively small
quantities were reported by up to two facilities. Since 2002, most of the heptachlor was treated, using
incineration.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already
recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste
minimization.
EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.85 and 4.86 show the quantity of heptachlor in the two EPA regions where facilities reported this PC
in 2002-2004. Heptachlor was not reported in 2000 or 2001. Heptachlor was reported by one facility in
Region 2 in 2002-2004 and by one facility in Region 6 in 2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.93 shows the quantity of heptachlor reported by two facilities in 2002-2004. No facilities reported
heptachlor in 2000 or 2001. One facility in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported relatively
small quantities of heptachlor in each year since 2002. The quantity of heptachlor reported by this facility was
based on an estimate of the concentration of this chemical in wastewaters generated from offsite sources. In
contracts with individual offsite sources to treat wastewaters, the facility defined the maximum allowable
concentration of heptachlor in the wastewater. This facility reported a different primary SIC code in 2004,
using SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates). In 2004, a facility in SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic
chemicals) reported approximately 99 percent of the total quantity of heptachlor. The quantity of heptachlor
reported by this facility was also initially generated offsite and brought onsite for incineration in the reporting
facility's commercial industrial furnace. Heptachlor was not previously treated or reported by this facility prior
to 2004; the 2004 quantity may have been a one time occurrence.

Hexachloro-l,3-butadiene (HCBD)
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 87-68-3
Alternate Names - HCBD, 1,3-hexachlorobutadiene, perchlorobutadiene
General Uses - This chemical is used to make rubber, as a solvent, to make lubricants, in gyroscopes,
as a heat transfer liquid, and as a hydraulic liquid.
Potential Hazards - This chemical is highly toxic; it can be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, approximately 7.9 million pounds of HCBD were reported; this quantity was
approximately 30 percent less than the quantity reported in 2000.
REGIONS/STATES: HCBD was only reported by facilities in EPA Region 6 in 2004, in the states of
Louisiana and Texas.
FACILITIES: Five facilities reported HCBD in 2000-2003; only four facilities reported this chemical
in 2004.
MANAGEMENT: Nearly 100 percent of HCBD was treated (using incineration) in 2004.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: In 2004, two facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) accounted for almost
63 percent of the total quantity of HCBD; one facility in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee)
accounted for approximately 37 percent of the total quantity.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.95 shows the number of facilities that reported HCBD in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. Five facilities reported HCBD in
2000-2003; only four facilities reported this chemical in 2004. In 2004, approximately 7.9 million pounds of
HCBD were reported; this quantity was approximately 30 percent less than the quantity reported in 2000. For
2000-2002, the quantity of HCBD steadily decreased but then began increasing in 2003.
In 2004, there was an increase of approximately 2.3 million pounds (+41 percent), compared to the quantity
reported in 2003. All four facilities that reported HCBD in 2004 showed an increase. Several facilities noted
that its increase resulted from increased production. Another facility, located in Louisiana, attributed its
increase to improved flow measurement equipment.
Except in 2000, when energy recovery was used to manage almost 2.3 million pounds of HCBD, treatment has
been the primary management method; nearly 100 percent of HCBD was treated (using incineration) in 2004.
Since 2000, between 220,000 and 340,000 pounds of HCBD were recycled each year.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.96 shows the number of facilities that reported HCBD within various quantity ranges. Of the four
facilities that reported HCBD in 2004, three facilities accounted for nearly the entire quantity of this chemical.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.104 shows the quantity of HCBD for the four industry sectors in which facilities reported this
chemical from 2000-2004. Four facilities in three industry sectors reported HCBD in 2004. Two facilities in
SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) accounted for almost 63 percent of the total quantity of HCBD in 2004. From
2000 to 2003, one of these facilities had reduced its HCBD by approximately 4.5 million pounds. In 2004,
however, the quantity doubled from the previous year; the facility attributes this increase to changes in
feedstock composition and groundwater remediation.
One facility in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) accounted for approximately 37 percent of the
HCBD in 2004. From 2000 to 2001, this facility also had reported SIC 2812 as its primary SIC code. Since
2000, this facility reduced its HCBD by almost 3 million pounds; however, in 2004, the facility reported an
increase of approximately 1.3 million pounds. This increase was attributed to increased production and
improved flow measurement equipment which resulted in the facility using larger volume flow streams in
calculating quantities of this PC.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB)
Chemical Information:
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 can 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 it is 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. HCB 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 HCB 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, HCB is a byproduct impurity contained in a number of pesticides. However, using and
intentionally making HCB is no longer allowed in the United States.
Potential Hazards - HCB 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. HCB is potentially toxic to the liver and a probable human carcinogen (EPA Integrated
Risk Information System -IRIS).
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, 35 facilities reported approximately 6.5 million pounds of HCB. In 2004, the
quantity of HCB increased by 2.2 million pounds (+52 %). Most of this increase was reported by one
facility, located in Louisiana.
REGIONS/STATES: Since 2000, facilities in Region 6 have reported most of the HCB, including
approximately 98 percent of the total quantity in 2004; facilities in three states (Louisiana, Texas, and
Tennessee) accounted for more than 99 percent of the total quantity.
FACILITIES: Of the 35 facilities that reported HCB in 2004, five facilities reported 99 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical. One facility reported 75 percent of the total quantity.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, treatment (using incineration) has been the primary management
method and was used to manage approximately 95 percent of the total quantity of HCB in 2004.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported
approximately 88 percent of the total quantity of HCB in 2004.

National Trends:
Exhibit 4.106 shows the number of facilities that reported HCB from 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, approximately 6.5 million
pounds of HCB were reported by 35 facilities. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was
approximately a 9 percent increase in 2004. The quantity of HCB had been reduced to approximately 4.2
million pounds in 2002-2003, but increased by 2.2 million pounds (+52 percent) in 2004. Most of this increase
was reported by one facility, located in Louisiana, which attributed its increased quantity to improved flow
measurement equipment.
Since 2000, treatment (using incineration) has been the primary management method and was used to manage
approximately 95 percent of the total quantity of HCB in 2004. Recycling of HCB has increased significantly
compared to the quantity recycled in 2000; approximately 1 million pounds of HCB were recycled in 2004.

State Trends:
In 2004, although facilities in 19 states reported HCB, facilities in only three of these states (Louisiana, Texas,
and Tennessee) accounted for over 99 percent of the total quantity of HCB. Exhibits 4.111 and 4.112 show the
quantity of HCB, between 2000 and 2004, that was reported by facilities in these three states.
Some trend highlights are:
Since 2000, facilities in Louisiana accounted for most of the HCB, including approximately 87 percent of
the total quantity of this chemical in 2004. In 2004, Louisiana facilities reported approximately 2.1 million
more pounds of HCB than they reported in 2003. Most of this increase was reported by one facility, located
in Louisiana, which attributed much of the increased quantity to improved flow measurement equipment.
Since 2000, facilities in Texas have reported a steadily decreasing quantity of HCB - a difference of
approximately 2 million pounds. One facility accounted for most of the quantity reported in 2004.
In Tennessee, one facility accounts for most of the HCB. Although this facility reported relatively lower
quantities in 2001 2003, its 2004 quantity increased significantly and was comparable to the quantity
reported in 2000.

Exhibits 4.113 and 4.114 show how HCB was managed by facilities in the three states (Louisiana, Texas, and
Tennessee) that accounted for over 99 percent of the total quantity of HCB in 2004. Most (approximately 95
percent) of the HCB reported by facilities in all three of these states was treated, primarily onsite. A facility in
Louisiana also used energy recovery for approximately half of its HCB. One facility in Texas reported
approximately 99 percent of the total quantity of HCB that was recycled in 2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.115 shows the quantity of HCB for the two industry sectors (SIC codes) in which facilities reported
over 99 percent of this chemical in 2004. Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported the
highest quantities, accounting for approximately 88 percent of the total quantity of HCB in 2004. Since 2002,
the quantity of HCB reported by SIC 2869 facilities has increased significantly each year, including an increase
of approximately 3 million pounds in 2004. One Louisiana facility reported approximately 85 percent of the
total quantity for this industry sector and accounted for approximately 2.3 million pounds of the overall increase
in 2004 - attributing much of its increased quantity to improved flow measurement equipment. This same
facility had reported SIC 2812 as its primary SIC code in 2000 and 2001 prior to reporting SIC 2869 as its
primary SIC code since 2002, resulting in the decreased quantities for SIC 2812 beginning in 2002.

Hexachloroethane (HCE)
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 67-72-1
Alternate Names - carbon hexachloride, ethane hexachloride, perchloroethane
General Uses - HCE 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 - HCE is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the
skin.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, approximately 3.8 million pounds of HCE were reported by nine facilities; this
was approximately a 34 percent decrease compared to the quantity reported in 2000. Since 2000, the
quantity of HCE decreased until it increased by approximately 1.1 million pounds or 40 percent in 2004.
One facility accounted for 80 percent of the total quantity.
REGIONAL: Facilities in four EPA regions where facilities reported HCE in 2004; since 2000, most of
the HCE was reported by facilities in Region 6, including approximately 99 percent of the total quantity
in 2004.
STATES: Facilities in Louisiana reported approximately 89 percent of the total quantity of HCE in
2004, including an increase of approximately 1.4 million pounds in 2004. Most of this increase was
reported by a facility in Louisiana which attributed much of the increase to improved flow measurement
equipment.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, treatment has been the primary method used to manage HCE; in 2004
approximately 96 percent of this chemical was treated.
INDUSTRY SECTORS: Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) and SIC 2812
(Alkalies and chlorine) reported approximately 95 percent of the total quantity of HCE in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.117 shows the number of facilities that reported HCE in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities of this PC
that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, approximately 3.8 million
pounds of HCE were reported by nine facilities. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was
approximately a 34 percent decrease in 2004. Since 2000, the quantity of HCE showed a trend of decreasing
until 2004, when the quantity increased by approximately 1.1 million pounds, or 40 percent.
Since 2000, treatment has been the primary method used to manage HCE; in 2004 approximately 96 percent of
this chemical was treated. Significant quantities of HCE were recycled each year, including approximately 2.3
million pounds in 2003 and in 2004.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization
Exhibit 4.118 shows the number of facilities that reported HCE within various quantity ranges. Of the nine
facilities that reported HCE in 2004, one facility accounted for 80 percent of the total quantity and five facilities
reported approximately 97 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.119 and 4.120 show the quantity of HCE for those five EPA regions where facilities reported this PC
in 2000-2004; in 2004 facilities in only four regions reported HCE. Since 2000, most of the HCE was reported
by facilities in Region 6, including approximately 99 percent of the total quantity in 2004. From 2000 to 2003
the quantity of HCE steadily decreased; however, in 2004 the quantity increased by approximately 1.1 million
pounds, or 40 percent. Most of this increase was reported by a facility in Louisiana which attributed much of
the increase to improved flow measurement equipment. A facility located in Oregon (Region 10) that only
began reporting HCE in 2003 reported a decrease of approximately 73,000 pounds or 80 percent in 2004.

Exhibit 4.121 shows how HCE was managed by facilities in the four EPA regions in 2004. In 2004,
approximately 99 percent of the HCE was treated, mostly onsite by facilities in Region 6. Facilities in
Regions 7 and 10 also primarily treated HCE. One facility in Region 5 used offsite energy recovery for all of its
HCE. A relatively small quantity of HCE was land disposed. HCE was recycled by facilities in Regions 5 and
6; facilities in each of these two regions recycled a significant quantity compared to the quantity otherwise
managed via land disposal, treatment, or energy recovery.

State Trends:
Exhibit 4.122 shows the quantity of HCE reported by facilities in seven states from 2000 to 2004. Facilities in
Louisiana accounted for approximately 89 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004, including an
increase of approximately 1.4 million pounds in 2004. Most of this increase was reported by a facility in
Louisiana which attributed much of the increase to improved flow measurement equipment.
Although Texas facilities reported approximately 11 percent of the total quantity in 2004, they reported a
decrease of approximately 2.8 million pounds, or 87 percent, compared to the quantity reported in 2000.
Likewise, a facility in Oregon reported a significant decrease from the quantity it reported in 2003. A facility in
Michigan reduced its HCE by approximately 83 percent since 2000.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.129 shows the quantity of HCE for the six industry sectors where facilities reported this chemical in
2000-2004.
Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) and SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) reported
approximately 95 percent of the total quantity of HCE in 2004.
Since 2002, the quantity of HCE reported by facilities in SIC 2869 increased by approximately 1.1 million
pounds. Part of this increased quantity was due to a change in the primary SIC code (from SIC 2812 to SIC
2869) by one of the larger facilities reporting HCE in 2002; the same facility also attributed much of the
large increase in 2004 to improved flow measurement equipment at its facility. Conversely, this SIC change
caused the SIC 2812 quantity to decrease in 2002. The quantity for SIC 2812 also decreased due to a large
decrease in the reported quantity by one of the larger facilities in this industry sector and that facility's
subsequent change in primary SIC code (from SIC 2812 to SIC 2821) in 2004. This SIC change, in turn,
caused a significant increase in the quantity reported by SIC 2821 facilities in 2004.
A facility in SIC 9711 (National security) that only began reporting HCE in 2003 reported a decrease of
approximately 73,000 pounds or 80 percent in 2004. This facility reduced its use of HCE as a "surrogate"
in trial burns done to ensure proper operation of its incinerators.

Lead and Lead Compounds (Lead)
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 degrees C), high density, and an
ability to shield radiation, sound waves, and mechanical vibrations. Lead exists in either one of two forms: 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 including 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 are in storage batteries, pigments, ceramic products,
ammunition, sheet lead, casting metal, and solder. Various other industries use or make metal products
that contains lead. 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 can decrease reaction time, cause weakness in fingers,
wrists, ankles, and possibly affect the memory. Health effects associated with exposure to inorganic
lead includes, but are not limited to, neurotoxicity, developmental delays, hypertension, impaired
hearing acuity, impaired hemoglobin synthesis, and male reproductive impairment. Importantly, many
of lead's health effects may occur without overt signs of toxicity. Lead has particularly significant
effects in children, well before the usual term of chronic exposure can take place
(http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0277.htm).
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, approximately 4,600 facilities reported 32 million pounds of lead. Compared to
the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 5.5 million pounds or 15 percent in
2004.
REGIONAL: In 2004, facilities in Regions 3, 4, 5, and 7 reported approximately 72 percent of the total
quantity; Regions 4 and 5 facilities alone reported approximately 50 percent of the total quantity.
STATES: Facilities in every state and territory reported lead in 2004; facilities in 16 states reported
approximately 80 percent of the total quantity. Indiana facilities reported the largest quantity (4.7
million pounds), accounting for approximately 15 percent of the total quantity.
FACILITIES: Of the 4,580 facilities that reported lead in 2004, five facilities accounted for
approximately 24 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Fifty-three facilities accounted for
approximately 69 percent of the total quantity.
MANAGEMENT: Almost 100 percent of lead was land disposed.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Facilities in more than 300 industry sectors reported lead in 2004; facilities in
17 industry sectors accounted for approximately 90 percent of the total quantity. Facilities in SIC 3341
(Secondary nonferrous metals) and SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) reported approximately 60
percent of the total quantity.

National Trends:
Exhibit 4.131 shows the number of facilities that reported lead in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. Since 2000, lead constituted, by far, the
largest quantity of any of the PCs. In 2004, approximately 4,600 facilities reported 32 million pounds of lead
and lead compounds.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 5.5 million pounds (or 15
percent) in 2004. The quantity also decreased significantly, by 3.1 million pounds (or approximately 9
percent) compared to the quantity reported in 2003.
Exhibit 4.131 shows that the number of facilities that reported lead since 2001 has been relatively constant.
In 2001, there was a significant increase in the number of facilities reporting lead. Most of this increase
likely can be attributed to the lowered TRI reporting threshold for lead that became effective for the 2001
TRI reporting year. Although the number of reporting facilities more than quadrupled, the reported PC
quantity of lead actually decreased by approximately 1.3 million pounds. As such, quantities of lead 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 was land disposed. This is indicative of the fact that metals, including lead, are
not amenable to destruction via treatment and have no energy value.
Although treatment and energy recovery quantities were reported for lead since 2000, these quantities have
decreased significantly - 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.
In 2004, approximately 707 million pounds of lead were recycled; this was an increase of approximately 92
million pounds or 15 percent compared to the quantity reported in 2003 and was the largest quantity
recycled since 2000.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite disposal, treatment,
or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because recycled quantities of PCs are already
directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is
presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and
energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.

Exhibits 4.140 and 4.141 show how facilities managed lead in the 10 states for which facilities reported at least
1 million pounds of lead in 2004. Virtually 100 percent of the lead reported by facilities in these states was land
disposed; facilities used offsite disposal for approximately 82 percent of the disposal quantity. Facilities in
many of these states recycled significant quantities of lead, both onsite and offsite, in 2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Facilities in more than 300 industry sectors reported lead in 2004. Exhibit 4.142 shows the quantity of lead
reported in the 17 industry sectors where facilities accounted for approximately 90 percent of this chemical in
2004. Facilities in SIC 3341 (Secondary nonferrous metals) and SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills)
reported approximately 60 percent of the total quantity of lead in 2004; facilities in each sector reported over 9
million pounds.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in 10 of these 17 industry sectors reported a larger
quantity of lead in 2004.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in SIC 9711 (National security) reported an increase of
approximately 2.2 million pounds. These facilities, primarily military installations, began reporting
significant increases in 2001; 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.
4-106
-------
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in two other industry sectors: SIC 3321 (Gray and ductile
iron foundries) and SIC 8733 (Noncommercial research organizations) also reported large increases of
738,000 pounds and 500,000 pounds, respectively. A Department of Energy facility in Idaho accounted for
most of the increase reported by SIC 8733 facilities.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in seven of the 17 industry sectors reported a decreased
quantity of lead in 2004; the largest decreases of 3.5 million pounds and 727,000 pounds were reported by
facilities in SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee) and SIC 3229 (Pressed and blown glass, nee),
respectively.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in seven of the 16 industry sectors reported an increase;
most notably, facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) reported an increase of 1.6 million
pounds in 2004.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in nine of the 16 industry sectors reported a decrease;
facilities in two industry sectors: SIC 3341 (Secondary nonferrous metals) and SIC 3321 (Gray and ductile
iron foundries) reported decreases of 2.9 million pounds and 813,000 pounds, respectively. Most of the
decreased quantity for SIC 3341 facilities was reported by a facility in Missouri which attributed the
decrease to a lower production level in 2004 and process adjustments that resulted in a decrease in the
concentration of lead in the slag.
Exhibit 4.143 shows how facilities managed lead in the five industry sectors for which facilities reported at least
1 million pounds of lead in 2004; facilities in these five industry sectors accounted for approximately 76 percent
of the total quantity. Virtually 100 percent of the quantity reported by facilities in these industry sectors was
land disposed, mostly offsite. Facilities in SIC 9711 (National security) primarily used onsite disposal.
Facilities in each of these industry sectors recycled approximately 46 percent of the national total recycled
quantity of lead in 2004; SIC 3341 facilities reported approximately 95 percent of the recycling reported by
facilities in these five industry sectors.

Lindane
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 58-89-9
Alternate Names - Hexachlorocyclohexane, gamma-
General Uses - Lindane was mainly used on fruit and vegetable crops to kill insects. It also was used
as an ingredient in ointments that help cure head lice, body lice, and scabies. It has not been made in the
United States since 1977, but it may still be imported into the country and formulated. Only individuals
who are certified may use this chemical.
Potential Hazards - Lindane is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through
the skin.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: No lindane was reported in 2004.
REGIONAL: From 2000 to 2003, lindane was reported by two facilities - one each in EPA Regions 8
and 10. Only the facility in Region 10 (Idaho) reported lindane in multiple years.
FACILITY: The largest quantity (183 pounds) of lindane was reported in 2002, when the two facilities
mentioned above, reported this chemical; both facilities used lindane as a feed treatment. Except in
2002, only one facility reported lindane in 2000-2001 and in 2003. That facility indicated that it
planned to eliminate the future use of lindane. As such, it now appears lindane will no longer be
reported.
MANAGEMENT: Treatment was the primary method used to manage lindane in 2000-2003.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Both facilities that reported lindane were in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and
agricultural chemicals, nee).
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.144 shows the number of facilities that reported lindane in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, no lindane was reported. Since
2000, no more than two facilities reported lindane in a given year. The largest quantity of lindane was reported
in 2002 when two facilities reported this chemical. Except in 2002, only one and the same facility reported
lindane in 2000-2001 and in 2003. The facility that had reported lindane in 2000-2003 indicated it was
eliminating the future use of lindane as a feed treatment. As such, it now appears lindane will no longer be
reported. Treatment was the primary method used to manage lindane; some lindane was land disposed in 2000
and 2001. The one facility that reported lindane in 2000-2003 also recycled a significant quantity of this
chemical in each reporting year.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.145 shows the quantity of lindane reported by two facilities - one each in EPA Regions 8 and 10,
from 2000 to 2004. In 2004, no facilities reported lindane. The facility in Region 8 only reported lindane in

Mercury and Mercury Compounds (Mercury)
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 - Mercury 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 results in their being emitted in the combustion gas exhaust stream.
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:
NATIONAL: The national quantity of mercury decreased approximately 41 percent compared to the
national quantity reported in 2000. However, in 2004, there was a 41 percent increase in quantities
compared to the quantities reported in 2003.
REGIONAL: In 2004, facilities in Regions 4 and 9 reported approximately 53 percent of mercury.
Facilities in four Regions (4, 5, 6, and 9) reported 84 percent of the total quantity.
STATE: Facilities in almost every state and territory reported mercury in 2004. Facilities in 11 states
reported approximately 80 percent of the total quantity; facilities in California reported the largest
quantity (approximately 13,800 pounds) of mercury in 2004, accounting for approximately 27 percent of
the total quantity.
FACILITIES: In 2004, 586 facilities reported approximately 51,700 pounds of mercury. Of these, 10
facilities accounted for approximately 63 percent of the total quantity of this chemical. Fifty-five
facilities accounted for almost 87 percent of the total quantity.
MANAGEMENT: In 2004, 100 percent of the mercury was land disposed. From 2000 to 2002,
approximately 450,000 pounds of mercury were consistently recycled each year, significantly increased
in 2003, and then increased dramatically by approximately 24 percent in 2004, when approximately
608,000 pounds were recycled.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Facilities in approximately 100 industry sectors reported mercury in 2004;
facilities in seven of the sectors accounted for approximately 80 percent of the total quantity. Fifty-two
percent of the total quantity was reported by facilities in SIC 9711 (National security) and SIC 3312
(Blast furnaces and steel mills).
PROGRAMS: The Office of Solid Waste has a number of ongoing projects such as "The Mercury
Challenge" and "The Mercury in Schools Project" to reduce mercury.
4-112
-------
National Trends:
In 2004, 586 facilities reported approximately 51,700 pounds of mercury. Exhibit 4.148 shows the number of
facilities that reported mercury in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were managed via disposal, treatment,
energy recovery, and recycling. From 2000 to 2004 the number of facilities reporting this chemical increased
by 24 percent. However, the quantity of mercury decreased approximately 41 percent compared to the quantity
reported in 2000. Interestingly, in 2004, there was a 41 percent increase in quantity compared to the quantity
reported in 2003.
In 2004, 100 percent of the mercury was land disposed. This is indicative of the fact that metals, including
mercury, are not amenable to destruction via treatment and have no energy value. Although treatment and
energy recovery quantities were reported for mercury in previous years, these quantities are steadily decreasing
- likely due to improved data quality assurance by the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program and increased
awareness by reporting facilities that land disposal is the most suitable method to be reported for this chemical.
From 2000 to 2002, approximately 450,000 pounds of mercury were consistently recycled each year,
significantly increased in 2003, and then increased dramatically by approximately 24 percent in 2004 when
approximately 608,000 pounds were recycled.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.149 shows the number of facilities that reported mercury, within ranges of quantities. Of the 586
facilities that reported mercury in 2004, 10 facilities accounted for approximately 63 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical. Fifty-five facilities accounted for almost 87 percent of the total quantity.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.150 and 4.151 show the quantity of mercury reported by facilities in each EPA region in 2000 to
2004. In 2004, facilities in Regions 4 and 9 reported approximately 53 percent of mercury. Facilities in four
Regions (4, 5, 6, and 9) reported 84 percent of the total quantity.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in four EPA regions reported an increase of
approximately 35,000 pounds in 2004. Approximately 67 percent of this increase, or approximately 12,800
pounds, was reported by facilities in Region 9. A federal facility in California accounted for most of this
increase as well as the large increase reported by Region 9 facilities in 2001.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in six of the 10 EPA regions reported a decreased
quantity in 2004. Facilities in Regions 3, 6, and 7 reported decreases of at least 1 million pounds and
facilities in Region 2 reported a decrease of approximately 2.4 million pounds. Of the overall 35,000 pound
decrease from 2000 to 2004, most of the decrease was due to a pulp mill in Washington that reported
approximately 23,500 pounds in 2000 but then did not report mercury since then.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in EPA Regions 4 and 9 accounted for most of the
increase reported in 2004; a federal facility in each of these regions accounted for most of the increase.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in Region 3 reported a decrease of approximately 4,000 pounds.

State Trends:
Facilities in almost every state and territory reported mercury in 2004. Exhibit 4.153 shows the quantity of
mercury, in 2000-2004, for the 11 states where facilities reported approximately 80 percent of the total quantity
in 2004. Facilities in California reported the largest quantity (approximately 13,800 pounds) of mercury in
2004, accounting for approximately 27 percent of the total quantity. Facilities in California, Ohio, and Texas
reported approximately 50 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in California reported the largest increase, approximately
12,700 pounds, in 2004. Most of this increase was reported by a federal facility that began reporting this
chemical in 2001. Facilities in three other states: Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama, also reported
significant increases.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, Region 4 facilities reported a decrease of approximately 9,200
pounds; most of this decrease was due to a facility that no longer reported this chemical in 2003 and 2004.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in California reported an increase of approximately 12,100 pounds in
2004. Most of this increase was reported by a federal facility where mercury is a by-product from a
geothermal energy plant; carbon was used to extract the mercury from the geothermal stream and was land
disposed. A federal facility in South Carolina reported most of this state's increase of 2,900 pounds in
2004; it disposed of 23 drums of stockpiled mercury wastes.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in Delaware reported a decrease of approximately 1,100 pounds in
2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Facilities in approximately 100 industry sectors reported mercury in 2004. Exhibit 4.159 shows the quantity of
mercury reported in the seven industry sectors where facilities accounted for approximately 80 percent of
mercury in 2004. Facilities in two of these industry sectors accounted for approximately 52 percent of the total
quantity: SIC 9711 (National security) and SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills).
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000 and in 2003, facilities in SIC 9711 reported the largest increase,
approximately 16,000 pounds. Two federal facilities, one in California and the other in South Carolina,
accounted for most of this increase.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in four of the seven industry sectors reported significant
decreases. For example, facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) reported a 50 percent
decrease and facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported an 88 percent decrease. One
source of mercury reported by facilities in SIC 3312 is "shredder fluff that contains mercury from
automobile switches and is obtained from scrap yards for use as feedstock in blast furnaces. EPA recently
reached agreement with the steel and auto industries to recover these switches from vehicles before they are
scrapped.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) and SIC 2819 (Industrial
inorganic chemicals, nee) reported decreases of approximately 30 percent.

OSW Activities to Measurably Reduce Mercury
The Office of Solid Waste (OSW) has several ongoing projects to reduce mercury. Since December 31, 2005.
two of these projects have resulted in a reduction of more than 40,000 pounds of Mercury in the two projects for
which we track reductions of mercury:
The Mercury Challenge
The Mercury In Schools Project
Mercury Challenge:
Mercury is widely present in industrial facilities. To help reduce this presence, EPA is working through the
National Partnership of Environmental Priorities (NPEP) to launch the Mercury Challenge. The Mercury
Challenge encourages NPEP partners to replace mercury-containing equipment with mercury-free alternatives.
By eliminating mercury from their facilities, partners can reduce potential worker exposure and minimize the
risk and cost of mercury spills and their subsequent cleanups as well as save facilities the cost of disposing
mercury-bearing wastes.
As of August 2006, 27 facilities within the NPEP program have committed to reduce 38,393 pounds of mercury
by 2010. Currently, 7,391 pounds of mercury have been successfully eliminated. We are continuing to
encourage other facility partners to identify ways to reduce mercury in their wastes.
Mercury in Schools:
In April 2004, EPA launched the Mercury in Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3). This program is
designed to remove mercury, as well as other excess hazardous chemicals, from secondary schools; promote
safe management of chemicals; and raise national awareness of the problem. Mercury is a focus of this
campaign, given the number of contamination problems encountered in the past several years.
EPA Headquarters provided seed money to the 10 EPA regions to clean out approximately 75 schools. EPA
has initiated discussion among federal agencies for developing a coordinated effort to remove stockpiles of
chemicals from K-12 schools and improve future chemical management practices. Once a federal lead is
established, we will solidify relationships with external partners from industry, academia, and school
associations, among others.
As of December 2005, schools have reported eliminating 2,930 pounds of mercury. One of the school systems
participating in the SC3 mercury initiative is the Rochester City School District. The District has three
programs in place that address the issue of safer schools through better chemical management. Those programs
include: the training of all science teachers in hazard communication and safe chemical storage of mercury); a
program in which teachers identify excess mercury that the Environmental Safety Director is responsible for
safely disposing of; the improving of the lab chemical procurement practices so that only the quantities
necessary are ordered including the use of lab kits); and a restriction against accepting donated chemicals.

Other OSW Efforts to Reduce Mercury:
Mercury Public Service Announcement (PSA):
OSW staff is working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop a PSA using Clancy, the only
U.S. dog trained to sniff mercury. The PSA will use Clancy as a spokes-dog to identify sources of elemental
mercury in order to educate people about the dangers of mercury, and to highlight the need for proper handling
and disposal of mercury. The PSA is being developed in response to several highly publicized, expensive
cleanups of mercury spills in schools.
Universal Waste Rule: Mercury-Containing Equipment:
EPA has proposed to add mercury containing devices (e.g., thermometers and switches) to the Universal Waste
Rule. For widely-generated hazardous wastes, this rule facilitates entry into the waste management system,
encourages recycling and keeps wastes out of the municipal waste stream. EPA is expediting this rule and plans
to finalize it in Fall 2006.
Mercury Lamps:
OSW is administering a 2 million dollar lamp recycling outreach program to promote the recycling of
mercury-containing lamps. This effort is supported through 10 cooperative agreements with state and
non-profit organizations that use these funds to create lamp recycling outreach programs targeting commercial
and industrial users of mercury-containing lamps.
The goal of this program is to take a proactive role in increasing the national recycling rate (which is
approximately 24%). To support this effort, OSW coordinated a Recyclers' Partnership Meeting (February 22,
2006) and plans to:
Coordinate a Recyclers' Partnership Meeting (February 22, 2006)
Revamp OSW's Mercury Lamp Recycling Web site;
Finalize a Mercury Lamp Recycling Fact Sheet;
Conduct direct outreach to specific target audiences (i.e., large chain stores, commercial property
managers, and others); and
Serve as a clearinghouse for outreach ideas and information.
Gray Bag Use in Dental Offices for Mercury:
OSW and the American Dental Association (ADA) are currently working together to promote proper
management of dental amalgam wastes from dental offices. Dental amalgam is composed of 50 percent
mercury. The ADA and EPA are seeking to increase recycling of the waste dental amalgam generated in more
than 100,000 U.S. dental offices.
NPEP Partnerships to Reduce Mercury in Products:
Many current uses of mercury in products have cost effective, mercury-free alternatives. EPA invites
companies that commit to reducing and/or phasing out mercury in their products to become partners in EPA's
National Partnership for Environmental Priorities. As a component of these partnerships, EPA also promotes
mercury-containing product take-back and recycling programs.

International and Artisanal Gold Mining:
OSW has provided technical assistance to the Global Environmental Fund (GEF) project on the management of
mercury in artisanal gold mining for the last four years. The GEF/United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO) program involves the environmental monitoring of human health and the environment
in six countries as well as the introduction of alternative mining methods to reduce or eliminate the use of
mercury in gold mining. OSW is currently participating in an effort to provide additional financial support to
this program.
International Mercury Reduction in Mining:
OSW has provided technical assistance to other Mercury Mining activities that are not GEF- related. One
activity is the Amazon Basin Commission which is related to the reduction in the use of mercury in artisanal
gold mining in the Amazon. Over the last two years we have provided technical support to the Commission
regarding the scope of mercury use and evaluation of alternative gold recovery methods. These activities are a
part of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), a collaboration by various parts of the Agency to
provide technical assistance to those countries not participating in GEF.
Mercury Video for Use in Schools:
The video is features Clancy, the only mercury-detecting dog in the United States, and is designed primarily to:
Increase awareness (among school children and their parents) of mercury and its dangers;
Educate about the need for proper handling and disposal of mercury and mercury-containing
products; and
Keep our children, families, and communities safe.
Thermostat Recycling Corporation/Product Stewardship Institute Incentive Pilot:
Last summer, OSW partially funded (by grant to the Product Stewardship Institute - PSI) a thermostat recycling
incentive pilot project. This pilot project involves a coordinated effort among industry, States (Indiana and
Oregon), EPA, the Thermostat Recycling Corporation (TRC), and PSI, to offer a rebate to contractors who
replace and recycle old mercury-containing thermostats with new Energy Star thermostats in Indiana and
Oregon. The pilot project began in January 2006 and will determine whether or not a rebaite enhances the
recycling rate of mercury-containing thermostats. If the pilot is a success, TRC plans to expand the effort
nationwide.

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 - Methoxychlor 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 - Methoxychlor is highly toxic; it may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed
through the skin.
Summary Analysis:
REGIONAL: One facility in Region 7 (Kansas) reported a quantity of methoxychlor in each year from
2000 to 2002. Aside from this facility, one other facility in Region 7 (Missouri) and a facility in Region
8 (Colorado) reported methoxychlor in 2000. In 2004, only one facility in Region 6 (Texas) reported
methoxychlor.
FACILITIES: In 2004, one facility reported 766 pounds of methoxychlor. Since 2000, no more than
three facilities reported methoxychlor in a given year. In 2003, no methoxychlor was reported.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Since 2000, only four facilities in three industry sectors have reported
methoxychlor. A facility in SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee) reported the largest quantity
(766 pounds) of methoxychlor in 2004; this facility used its onsite industrial furnace to treat wastes
containing methoxychlor that were generated by an offsite facility.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.161 shows the number of facilities that reported methoxychlor in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that
were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. Since 2000, no more than three facilities
reported methoxychlor in a given year. The largest quantity of methoxychlor was reported in 2004 when one
facility reported 766 pounds of this chemical. This facility used its onsite industrial furnace to treat wastes
containing methoxychlor that were generated by an offsite facility. Only one facility reported methoxychlor in
multiple years from 2000 to 2002. This facility used methoxychlor in fly spray for horses but has not used it
since 2002. No other facilities reported this chemical in more than one year. In 2003, no methoxychlor was
reported. It now appears that methoxychlor will no longer be reported.
Except for one pound that was land disposed in the period 2000-2002, treatment was the primary method used
to manage methoxychlor.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled
compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery' and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.162 and 4.163 show the quantity of methoxychlor reported by facilities in three EPA regions in 2000
to 2004. One facility in Region 7 reported a quantity of methoxychlor in each year from 2000-2002. Aside
from this facility, one other facility in Region 7 and a facility in Region 8 reported methoxychlor in 2000. In
2004, only facility in Region 6 reported methoxychlor. This facility treated (incinerated) wastes containing
methoxychlor generated by an offsite facility. No methoxychlor was reported in 2003.

Naphthalene
Chemical Information:
CAS Number-91-20-3
Alternate Names - naphthalin, tar camphor, white tar
General Uses - Naphthalene 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 - Naphthalene is flammable/combustible. In addition, exposure to large doses of
naphthalene can damage or destroy red blood cells. The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) has evaluated naphthalene and classified it as "possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)"
(IARC Monographs Vol. 82, 2002). In addition, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) has recently
evaluated naphthalene and classified it as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen" (Eleventh
Report on Carcinogens; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service,
National Toxicology Program, 2004).
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, 638 facilities reported approximately 13.1 million pounds of naphthalene.
Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 1.3 million pounds, or
approximately 9 percent, in 2004. However, compared to the amount reported in 2003, the quantity
increased significantly, by approximately 2.8 million pounds.
REGIONAL/STATES: In 2004, approximately 89 percent of the naphthalene was reported by facilities
in Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6. Facilities in 10 states accounted for 85 percent of the total quantity of
naphthalene in 2004; facilities in Texas, Louisiana, and West Virginia reported 52 percent of the total
quantity.
FACILITIES: Almost 200 more facilities reported naphthalene in 2004. Many of these facilities began
reporting naphthalene in 2004 due to the lowering of the TRI de minimis level for naphthalene starting
with the 2004 TRI reporting year. Of the 638 facilities that reported naphthalene in 2004, 38 facilities
accounted for approximately 71 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, facilities used treatment and energy recovery to manage most of the
naphthalene. In 2004, these two methods were used to manage approximately 95 percent of the
naphthalene. Land disposal has consistently been used for 4 to 5 percent of the total quantity.
INDUSTRY SECTORS: Facilities in seven industry sectors accounted for 80 percent of the
naphthalene in 2004. Facilities in three of these industry sectors: SIC 2911 (Petroleum Refining), SIC
2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee), and SIC 3479 (Metal coating and allied services) reported
approximately 53 percent of the total quantity of naphthalene in 2004. Large increases in 2004 were
attributed to compliance with air regulations (SIC 2911) and the shutdown of facilities in SIC 2865
(Cyclic crudes and intermediates) that caused increased quantities of naphthalene due to such activities
as tank and process equipment cleanouts and processing of residuals, etc.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.167 shows the number of facilities that reported naphthalene in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that
were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, 638 facilities reported
approximately 13.1 million pounds of naphthalene. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a
decrease of approximately 1.3 million pounds or approximately 9 percent in 2004. However, compared to the
quantity reported in 2003, the quantity increased significantly, by approximately 2.8 million pounds.
4-129
-------
The number of facilities that reported naphthalene in 2004 increased significantly compared to prior reporting
years. Almost 200 more facilities reported naphthalene in 2004. Many of these facilities began reporting
naphthalene in 2004 due to the lowering of the TRI de minimis level for this chemical from 1.0 to 0.1 percent
starting with the 2004 TRI reporting year. For example, approximately 50 more facilities in SIC 5171
(Petroleum bulk stations) began reporting naphthalene in 2004; off-spec fuel and/or tank cleanout wastes may
be the source of the naphthalene.
Since 2000, facilities used treatment and energy recovery to manage most of the naphthalene. In 2004, these
two methods were used to manage approximately 95 percent of the naphthalene. Land disposal has consistently
been used for 4 to 5 percent of the total quantity. Compared to the quantity of naphthalene recycled in 2000,
there was an increase of 7 million pounds or approximately 57 percent in recycling in 2004, including an
increase of approximately 750,000 pounds compared to the quantity recycled in 2003.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibits 4.169 and 4.170 show the quantity of naphthalene reported by facilities in each EPA Region in 2000 to
2004. In 2004, approximately 89 percent of the naphthalene was reported by facilities in Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in six of the ten EPA regions reported larger quantities of
naphthalene in 2004. The largest increase of approximately 1 million pounds was reported by Region 3
facilities; one facility, located in West Virginia, accounted for approximately 483,000 pounds of this
increase.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in Region 6 reported a decrease of approximately 3.2
million pounds in 2004.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in seven of the 10 EPA regions reported an increased quantity of
naphthalene, including increases of 1.6 million pounds in Region 6; 722,000 pounds in Region 4; and
391,000 pounds in Region 3.
Compared to 2003 quantities, facilities in Region 5 reported a decrease of approximately 376,000 pounds in
2004.

State Trends:
Exhibit 4.172 shows the quantity of naphthalene that was reported between 2000 and 2004 in the 10 states
where facilities accounted for 85 percent of the total quantity of naphthalene in 2004. Facilities in Texas,
Louisiana, and West Virginia reported 52 percent of the total quantity.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in six of these 10 states reported a larger quantity of
naphthalene in 2004, including increases of 843,000 pounds in West Virginia, 649,000 pounds in Alabama,
and 413,000 pounds in Louisiana. One facility in West Virginia accounted for 53 percent of the total
increase reported by West Virginia facilities. This facility incinerated larger quantities of naphthalene in
2004 due to difficulties encountered in trying to separate the naphthalene for recovery.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in Texas reported a decrease of approximately 3.5
million pounds in 2004. Indiana facilities reported a decrease of approximately 253,000 pounds or 21
percent.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in nine of these 10 states reported an increased quantity
in 2004, including increases of 1.2 million pounds in Texas, 680,000 pounds in Alabama, 400,000 pounds in
Louisiana, and 269,000 pounds in Michigan. The pending shutdown of two facilities - one in Alabama and
one in Michigan, accounted for most of the increased quantity in these states; the increased naphthalene is
due to such activities as cleanout of tanks, processing of residuals, cleanups, etc. Compared to quantities
reported in 2003, Indiana facilities reported a decrease of 864,000 pounds in 2004. One facility accounted
for most of this decrease; in 2004 this facility used considerably less paint (containing naphthalene) to paint
steel coils.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.177 shows the quantity of naphthalene reported in the seven industry sectors where facilities
accounted for 80 percent of this chemical in 2004. Facilities in three of these industry sectors: SIC 2911
(Petroleum Refining), SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee), and SIC 3479 (Metal coating and allied
services) reported approximately 53 percent of the total quantity of naphthalene in 2004.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in four of these seven industry sectors reported a
significantly larger quantity of naphthalene in 2004. Increases of nearly 1 million pounds were reported by
facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) and SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates).
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in three of these seven industry sectors reported a
decreased quantity of naphthalene in 2004; the largest decrease of 2.7 million pounds was reported by
facilities in SIC 2911 (Petroleum Refining).
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in five of these seven industry sectors reported an
increase; most notably, facilities in SIC 2911 (Petroleum Refining) reported an increase of approximately
1.3 million pounds in 2004. The facility that accounted for most of this increase attributed this increase to
compliance with air regulations.
Facilities in three other industry sectors: SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates), SIC 2879 (Pesticides
and agricultural chemicals, nee), and SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) also reported large
increases, ranging from 433,000 pounds to 745,000 pounds, in 2004. One facility in SIC 2879 accounted for
much of the total increase reported by facilities in this industry sector; this facility incinerated larger
quantities of naphthalene in 2004 due to difficulties encountered in trying to separate the naphthalene for
recovery. The ongoing shutdown of a couple of facilities in SIC 2865 accounted for most of the increase for
this sector; increased quantities of naphthalene were due to such activities as the clean-out of tanks and
process equipment, processing of residuals, etc. A facility in SIC 2869 reported a large increase in 2004 due
to the purchase of fuel oil (as an alternative to natural gas) from a waste broker that contained significant
quantity of naphthalene.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in SIC 3479 (Metal coating and allied services) reported
a significant decrease of approximately 646,000 pounds. One facility accounted for most of this decrease;
in 2004 this facility used considerably less paint (containing naphthalene) to paint steel coils.

Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (PACs)
Chemical Information:
PACs, also known as poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are a group of more than 100 different
chemicals that are characterized by hydrogen and carbon arranged in two or more fused benzene rings. 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)fiuoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene, benzo(j,k)fluorine, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(rst)pentaphene,
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 and 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 the chemical 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:
NATIONAL: In 2004, 684 facilities reported approximately 13.8 million pounds of PACs. Compared to
the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 2.8 million pounds or approximately
17 percent in 2004.
REGIONAL: Facilities in Regions 4 and 6 reported 84 percent of the total quantity of PACs in 2004.
STATES: From 2000 to 2004, facilities in almost every state and territory reported PACs. Facilities in 10
states accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity in 2004. Facilities in four of these states (Texas,
Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky) reported approximately 69 percent of the total quantity.
FACILITIES: Of the 684 facilities that reported PACs in 2004, six facilities reported approximately 56
percent of the total quantity of this chemical; 19 facilities reported approximately 88 percent of the total
quantity.
MANAGEMENT: In 2004, facilities used energy recovery and treatment to manage approximately 92
percent of the PACs.
INDUSTRY SECTORS: From 2000 to 2004, facilities in 133 industry sectors reported PACs; facilities in
86 of these industry sectors reported PACs in 2004. Exhibit 4.189 shows the quantity of PACs for the 10
industry sectors in which facilities reported 95 percent of these chemicals in 2004.
4-139
-------
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.179 shows the number of facilities that reported PACs in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, 684 facilities reported approximately
13.8 million pounds of PACs. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of
approximately 2.8 million pounds, or approximately 17 percent in 2004. The quantity of PACs steadily
decreased from 2000 to 2003 but then increased by approximately 1.2 million pounds in 2004. Since 2000, the
number of facilities that reported PACs increased slightly each year so that by 2004 an additional 58 facilities
had reported these chemicals.
In 2004, facilities used energy recovery and treatment to manage approximately 92 percent of the PACs. Since
2000, energy recovery was primarily used to manage PACs; the steadily decreasing energy recovery quantities
from 2000 to 2003 reflected the overall decreasing quantity of PACs. Treatment of PACs steadily increased
since 2001. Disposal quantities decreased by approximately 64 percent since 2000 but increased by
approximately 23 percent in 2004. Recycling of PACs has steadily decreased since 2000 - from approximately
3 million pounds in 2000 to 1.4 million pounds in 2004. Since 2000, recycling of PACs steadily decreased from
almost 16.6 million pounds in 2000 to approximately 12.7 million pounds in 2003, an overall decrease of 55
percent.

'Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.180 shows the number of facilities that reported PACs within various quantity ranges. Of the 684
facilities that reported PACs in 2004, six facilities reported approximately 56 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical; 19 facilities reported approximately 88 percent of the total quantity.

Exhibit 4.183 shows how facilities managed PACs, by EPA region, in 2004. Approximately 89 percent of the
PACs were managed using onsite energy recovery and/or onsite treatment. Facilities in all but three EPA
regions (Regions 3, 9, and 10) relied on these two methods to manage the majority of the PACs quantity.
Facilities in EPA Regions 3, 9, and 10 used land disposal to manage 78 percent, 86 percent, and 49 percent,
respectively, of their PACs quantity.
In 2004, these facilities recycled approximately 1.4 million pounds of PACs. Facilities in five EPA regions
(Regions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10) reported over 99 percent of the total recycled quantity; Region 6 facilities alone
reported approximately 38 percent of the total quantity.

State Trends:
From 2000 to 2004, facilities in almost every state and territory reported PACs. Exhibit 4.184 shows the
quantities of PACs reported in the 10 states where facilities accounted for 90 percent of the total quantity of this
chemical in 2004. Facilities in four of these states (Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kentucky) reported
approximately 69 percent of the total quantity.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in seven of these 10 states reported an increased quantity in
2004. These increases included 1.2 million pounds in Texas, 969,000 pounds in Kentucky, and 519,000 pounds
in Maine. A decrease of 3 million pounds in Tennessee largely offset the increased quantities.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in eight of these 10 states reported an increase in 2004,
including an increase of 540,000 pounds by facilities in Tennessee.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
In 2000-2004, facilities in 133 industry sectors reported PACs; facilities in 86 of these industry sectors reported
PACs in 2004. Exhibit 4.189 shows the quantity of PACs for the 10 industry sectors in which facilities reported
95 percent of these chemicals in 2004.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in seven of these 10 industry sectors reported an increased
quantity in 2004. Facilities in SIC 2911 (Petroleum refining) and SIC 2895 (Carbon black) reported two of the
larger increases of 1 million pounds and 486,000 pounds, respectively. Conversely, facilities in SIC 3624
(Carbon and graphite products) and SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum) reported large decreases of 2.9 million
pounds and 1.6 million pounds, respectively.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in eight of these 10 industry sectors reported an increased
quantity in 2004. These included increases of 818,000 pounds by SIC 3624 facilities and 247,000 pounds by
SIC 2865 facilities. Most of the increased quantity for SIC 3624 was reported by a facility in Tennessee that
uses coal tar pitch (containing PACs) for producing carbon electrodes. Increased processing of the coal tar
pitch in 2004 resulted in increased quantities of PACs in wastes. Facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and
steel mills) reported a decrease of approximately 89,000 pounds. Most of this decrease occurred because a
facility in Pennsylvania reported "normal" quantities of PACs following an increase in 2003 that resulted from
cleaning tanks, clean-ups, and off-spec coke oven tar.
Exhibit 4.190 shows how facilities in these 10 industry sectors managed PACs in 2004. Facilities in these 10
industry sectors used onsite treatment and/or onsite energy recovery to manage approximately 91 percent of the
total PACs quantity. In seven of the 10 industry sectors, these were the primary management methods for
PACs. Facilities in three of these industry sectors: SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates), SIC 3011 (Tires
and inner tubes), and SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) primarily used offsite disposal for PACs. In
2004, facilities in these 10 industry sectors recycled almost 1 million pounds of PACs. Facilities in four
industry sectors (SICs 3334, 3312, 2911, and 3624) reported approximately 91 percent of the recycled quantity.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Chemical Information:
PCBs are mixtures of chemicals that form clear to yellow, oily liquids or white, crystalline (sand-like) solids
and hard resins.
CAS Number- 1336-36-3
Alternate Names - Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254
General Uses - PCBs are used in insulating fluids of electrical systems. PCBs can also be a byproduct
of certain process chemical reactions.
Potential Hazards - PCBs are probable carcinogens. These chemicals can affect the human
reproductive system, can cause liver damage, and also can damage the nervous system. PCBs can
irritate the eyes and may cause an acne-like rash (chloracne), which may persist for years. (New Jersey
Department of Health and Senior Services, Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet -April 2002).
Summary Analysis:
In 2004, 36 facilities reported approximately 68,000 pounds of PCBs. Compared to the national
quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 42,000 pounds in 2004. In 2004,
however, there was an increase of approximately 13,000 pounds or 25 percent, compared to the quantity
of PCBs reported in 2003.
REGIONAL: Compared to the quantities of PCBs reported in 2000, the quantity decreased in every
EPA region by 2004. In 2004, facilities in EPA Regions 4 and 6 reported approximately 98 percent of
the total quantity of PCBs.
STATES: From 2000 to 2004, facilities in 34 states reported PCBs; by 2004, facilities in only 16 states
reported this chemical. Facilities in only three of these states (Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas)
accounted for 98 percent of the total quantity of PCBs in 2004.
FACILITIES: In 2004, one facility reported 61 percent of the total quantity of PCBs. Of the 36
facilities that reported PCBs in 2004, six facilities reported approximately 96 percent of the total
quantity. In 2004, the number of facilities that reported PCBs decreased by 40 percent, compared to the
quantities in 2000.
MANAGEMENT: In 2000-2004, treatment was the primary method used to manage PCBs, including
94.5 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Since 2000, facilities in 47 industry sectors reported PCBs. By 2004, facilities
in only 17 industry sectors reported PCBs. In 2004, three industry sectors: SIC 2869 - Industrial
organic chemicals, nee, SIC 2812 -Alkalies and chlorine, and SIC 3312 - Blast furnaces and steel mills
reported 98 percent of this chemical.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.191 shows the number of facilities that reported PCBs in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, 36 facilities reported approximately
68,000 pounds of PCBs. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately
42,000 pounds, or 38 percent, in 2004. Since 2000, the number of facilities reporting PCBs also decreased by
40 percent. In 2004, however, there was an increase of approximately 13,000 pounds, or 25 percent, compared
to the quantity of PCBs reported in 2003.
4-148
-------
From 2000 to 2004, treatment was the primary method used to manage PCBs, including 94.5 percent of the total
quantity in 2004. Land disposal of PCBs has steadily decreased by approximately 74 percent; land disposal was
used for 5.5 percent of the total quantity of PCBs in 2004. Only relatively small quantities of PCBs were
managed using energy recovery. In 2004, facilities reported recycling of 366 pounds of PCBs.

Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.192 shows the number of facilities that reported PCBs within various quantity ranges. In 2004, one
facility reported 61 percent of the total quantity of PCBs. Of the 36 facilities that reported PCBs in 2004, six
facilities reported approximately 96 percent of the total quantity.

State Trends:
From 2000 to 2004, facilities in 34 states reported PCBs; by 2004, facilities in only 16 states reported this chemical. Facilities in only three of these
states (Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas) accounted for 98 percent of the total quantity of PCBs in 2004 (Exhibits 4.196 and 4.197). Since 2000, the
quantity of PCBs reported in both Tennessee and Louisiana increased significantly; much of the increases were reported in 2004. Other trend
highlights are:
In Tennessee, one facility accounted for most of the increase in 2004; PCBs are produced as a residual from a high temperature catalytic process
and the quantity correlates to production quantity.
In Louisiana, two facilities accounted for most of the increase reported in 2004; the PCBs are generated as residuals from the manufacturing
processes and the quantity fluctuates depending on feedstock composition.
Since 2000, facilities in Texas reported a decrease of approximately 13,600 pounds or 94 percent.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Since 2000, facilities in 47 industry sectors reported PCBs. By 2004, facilities in only 17 industry sectors
reported PCBs. Exhibit 4.200 shows the quantity of PCBs for the three industry sectors in which facilities
reported 98 percent of this chemical in 2004. Facilities in SIC 2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported
the highest quantities, accounting for approximately 74 percent of the total quantity of PCBs in 2004. Since
2000, SIC 2869 facilities reported a steadily increasing quantity of PCBs, including an increase of
approximately 22,000 pounds in 2004, compared to the quantity reported in 2003. Most of this increase was
reported by one facility that attributed the increased quantity of PCBs to increased production in which PCBs
are produced as a residual from a high temperature catalytic process.
Since 2000, facilities in SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) had reported a steadily decreasing quantity of PCBs
until 2004 when the quantity increased by approximately 5,000 pounds. Most of this increase was reported by
two facilities at which PCBs are generated as residuals from the manufacturing processes; the quantity of PCBs
fluctuates depending on feedstock composition and production level.
Facilities in SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills) reported a decrease of approximately 1,300 pounds in
2004. Much of this decrease was due to a facility in Minnesota that had reported an average of approximately
1,400 pounds in 2000-2003 but did not report PCBs in 2004.

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:
NATIONAL: In 2004, seven facilities reported approximately 476,000 pounds of pendimethalin.
Compared to the quantity of pendimethalin reported in 2000, there was a 29 percent decrease in 2004.
The quantity of pendimethalin increased each year since 2001.
REGIONAL/STATE: In 2004, facilities in Regions 4 and 7 reported approximately 94 percent of the
pendimethalin. Facilities in only four states (Florida, Missouri, Iowa, and Ohio) reported pendimethalin;
facilities in Missouri and Florida reported 94 percent of the total quantity.
FACILITIES: Of the seven facilities that reported pendimethalin in 2004, one facility accounted for
approximately 55 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, facilities have used treatment and land disposal to manage 56 percent
and 44 percent, respectively, of the pendimethalin.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: In 2004, facilities in three industry sectors (SIC 2879 - Pesticides and
agricultural chemicals, nee, SIC 2061- Raw cane sugar, and SIC 2875 - Fertilizers, mixing only)
reported pendimethalin. Compared to the quantities of pendimethalin reported in 2000, facilities in SIC
2879 reported a decrease of approximately 379,000 pounds.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.202 shows the number of facilities that reported pendimethalin in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that
were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, seven facilities reported
approximately 476,000 pounds of pendimethalin. Compared to the quantity of pendimethalin reported in 2000,
there was a 29 percent decrease in 2004. The quantity of pendimethalin increased each year since 2001.
Since 2000, facilities have used treatment and land disposal to manage 56 percent and 44 percent, respectively,
of the pendimethalin. The quantity disposed of has increased each year since 2000, with significant increases in
2003 and in 2004. No energy recovery for pendimethalin was reported from 2000 to 2004. Aside from over
41,000 pounds of pendimethalin recycled in 2002, no more than 6,000 pounds of pendimethalin were recycled
in other years since 2000.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via
onsite/offsite disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for
waste minimization. Because recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and
distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled. Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some
perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment,
and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.203 shows the number of facilities that reported pendimethalin within various quantity ranges. Of the
seven facilities that reported pendimethalin in 2004, one facility accounted for approximately 55 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical. Five of the seven facilities reported approximately 99 percent of the total
quantity of pendimethalin in 2004.

General Uses - Pentachlorobenzene is used to make pentachloronitrobenzene, a fungicide. In addition,
it has been and is currently used as a fire retardant.
Potential Hazards - Short-term exposure to pentachlorobenzene can affect the central nervous system.
Long-term exposure can affect the liver and kidneys and can cause tissue lesions.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, seven facilities reported approximately 609,000 pounds of pentachlorobenzene.
Compared to the quantity of pentachlorobenzene reported in 2000, there was a 154 percent decrease in
2004; there likewise was an increase of 124,000 pounds, or 26 percent, compared to the 2003 quantity.
REGIONAL/STATE: Facilities in Region 6 reported almost 100 percent of the pentachlorobenzene;
three facilities in Louisiana reported over 99 percent of the total quantity.
FACILITIES: Of the seven facilities that reported pentachlorobenzene in 2004, two facilities accounted
for over 99 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, virtually the entire quantity of pentachlorobenzene was treated.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Two facilities in each of two sectors: SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) and SIC
2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported over 99 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.215 shows the number of facilities that reported pentachlorobenzene in 2000 to 2004 and the
quantities that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, seven facilities
reported approximately 609,000 pounds of pentachlorobenzene. Since 2000, no more than seven facilities
reported pentachlorobenzene in any year. Compared to the quantity of pentachlorobenzene reported in 2000,
there was a 154 percent decrease in 2004; there likewise was an increase of 124,000 pounds, or 26 percent,
compared to the 2003 quantity.
Since 2000, virtually the entire quantity of pentachlorobenzene was treated. Relatively little recycling of

Exhibit 4.219 shows how facilities in each of these three EPA regions managed pentachlorobenzene in 2004. In
2004, virtually 100 percent of pentachlorobenzene was treated onsite by these facilities. Only relatively small
quantities of pentachlorobenzene were land disposed or sent to energy recovery. A facility in Region 6 recycled
approximately 400 pounds of pentachlorobenzene in 2004.
State Trends:
Facilities in only six states reported pentachlorobenzene in 2000-2004; in 2004, facilities in four states reported
this chemical (Exhibits 4.220 and 4.221). In 2004, three facilities in Louisiana reported over 99 percent of the
total quantity. Since 2000, these Louisiana facilities reported an increase of approximately 607,000 pounds or
approximately 412 percent. These facilities also reported a significant increase of approximately 156,000
pounds compared to the quantities reported in 2003.

Exhibits 4.222 and 4.223 show how facilities in the four states managed pentachlorobenzene in 2004. Overall,
nearly 100 percent of the pentachlorobenzene was treated, primarily onsite. Two facilities in Texas primarily
used onsite energy recovery. Only a relatively small quantity of pentachlorobenzene was land disposed by a
facility in Texas. This same facility reported the only recycling of pentachlorobenzene in 2004.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.224 shows the quantity of pentachlorobenzene reported by facilities in six industry sectors from 2000
to 2004. Two facilities in each of two sectors: SIC 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) and SIC 2869 (Industrial
organic chemicals, nee) reported more than 99 percent of the total quantity in 2004. Compared to quantities
reported in 2000, both these facilities reported large increases of 140,000 pounds and 224,000 pounds,
respectively, in 2004. These included increases of 51,000 pounds and 69,000 pounds, respectively, compared to
quantities these facilities reported in 2003.
The large increase that occurred in 2003 for the SIC 2869 facilities is misleading. For the 2003 reporting year,
two facilities (one in Louisiana, one in Texas) changed their primary SIC code from 2812 to 2869. In 2004, one
of these facilities further changed its primary SIC code from SIC 2869 to SIC 2821, resulting in approximately
3,600 pounds reported for SIC 2821.

Pentachlorophenol
Chemical Information:
CAS Number - 87-86-5
Alternate Names - 2,3,4,5,6-Pentachlorophenol
General Uses - Pentachlorophenol was used as a biocide to kill small organisms and is now used as a
wood preservative to protect wood from decay and insect attack.
Potential Hazards - Pentachlorophenol is toxic; inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact may cause severe
injury or death.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, 15 facilities reported approximately 117,000 pounds of pentachlorophenol; this
is the fewest number of facilities reporting this chemical in 2000-2004. Compared to the quantity of
pentachlorophenol reported in 2000, there was an increase of approximately 47,000 pounds or 68
percent in 2004.
REGIONAL: In 2004, facilities in five of the EPA regions reported pentachlorophenol. Compared to
the quantities reported in 2000, facilities in EPA Region 4 reported a large increase of approximately
84,000 pounds. Most of this increase was reported by two facilities, one each in Mississippi and South
Carolina.
STATES: Facilities in three states (Mississippi, South Carolina, and Missouri) reported approximately
93 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, facilities primarily treated pentachlorophenol offsite, including 66
percent of the total quantity in 2004. Energy recovery was used for approximately 32 percent of the
total quantity. Only a small quantity of pentachlorophenol was recycled in 2004.
FACILITIES: Of the 15 facilities that reported pentachlorophenol in 2004, two facilities accounted for
84 percent of the total quantity.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: In 2004, all 15 facilities that reported pentachlorophenol were in SIC 2491
(Wood preserving). Compared to quantities reported in both 2000 and 2003, facilities in SIC 2491
reported a large increase in 2004. Two facilities accounted for most of the increase, attributing the
increase to the combination of increased production of pentachlorophenol treated wood and a different
technique for estimating the concentration of pentachlorophenol in waste streams.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.226 shows the number of facilities that reported pentachlorophenol from 2000 to 2004 and the
quantities that were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, 15 facilities
reported approximately 117,000 pounds of pentachlorophenol; this is the fewest number of facilities reporting
this chemical for 2000-2004. Compared to the quantity of pentachlorophenol reported in 2000, there was an
increase of approximately 47,000 pounds or 68 percent in 2004; the quantity had been steadily decreasing since
2000.
Since 2000, facilities primarily treated pentachlorophenol, including 66 percent of the total quantity in 2004.
From 2000 to 2003, facilities used energy recovery and disposal for only approximately 13 percent of the
pentachlorophenol. However, in 2004, the energy recovery quantity increased dramatically to approximately 32
percent of the total quantity. Only a small quantity of pentachlorophenol was recycled in 2004.

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.227 shows the number of facilities that reported pentachlorophenol within various ranges of
quantities. Of the 15 facilities that reported pentachlorophenol in 2004, two facilities accounted for 84 percent
of the total quantity.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.228 shows the quantity of pentachlorophenol reported by facilities in eight EPA regions in 2000 to
2004. In 2004, facilities in five of the EPA regions reported pentachlorophenol.
Compared to the quantities reported in 2000, facilities in EPA Region 4 reported a large increase of
approximately 84,000 pounds. Most of this increase was reported by two facilities, one each in Mississippi and
South Carolina. These facilities attributed the increase to the combination of increased production of
pentachlorophenol treated wood and a different technique for estimating the concentration of pentachlorophenol
in waste streams. In EPA Region 3, the decreased quantity occurred because a facility that had reported
pentachlorophenol for 2000-2002, no longer reported it.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in EPA Region 4 reported a large increase of approximately
82,000 pounds. As previously noted, most of this increase was reported by two facilities, one each in
Mississippi and South Carolina.

Exhibit 4.230 shows how facilities, by EPA region, managed pentachlorophenol in 2004. In 2004, facilities
used offsite treatment for approximately 66 percent of the pentachlorophenol and offsite energy recovery for
approximately 32 percent of the total quantity. Two facilities in EPA Region 6 reported most of the offsite
disposal; these facilities land disposed approximately 45 percent of the pentachlorophenol.
4-172
-------
State Trends:
Facilities in 15 states reported pentachlorophenol in 2000-2004 (Exhibit 4.231). Facilities in three states (Mississippi, South Carolina, and Missouri)
reported approximately 93 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004. Compared to quantities reported in both 2000 and 2003, facilities in
Mississippi and South Carolina reported large increases in 2004. One facility in each of these two states accounted for most of the increase; both
facilities attributed the increase to the combination of increased production of pentachlorophenol treated wood and a different technique for
estimating the concentration of pentachlorophenol in waste streams. In Maryland, the decreased quantity occurred because a facility that had
reported pentachlorophenol for 2000-2002, no longer reported it.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.236 shows the quantity of pentachlorophenol reported by facilities in four industry sectors for
2000-2004. In 2004, all 15 facilities that reported pentachlorophenol were in SIC 2491 (Wood preserving).
Compared to quantities reported in both 2000 and 2003, facilities in SIC 2491 reported a large increase in 2004.
Two facilities accounted for most of the increase, attributing the increase to the combination of increased
production of pentachlorophenol-treated wood and a different technique for estimating the concentration of
pentachlorophenol in waste streams.
Exhibit 4.237 shows how 15 facilities in the wood preserving industry sector managed pentachlorophenol in
2004. Facilities used offsite treatment for approximately 66 percent of the pentachlorophenol and offsite energy
recovery for approximately 32 percent. Land disposal was only used for less than 2,000 pounds or
approximately 2 percent of the pentachlorophenol.

Phenanthrene
Chemical Information:
CAS Number-85-01-8
Alternate Names - PhenAnthracene
General Uses - Phenanthrene is used to make dyes, plastics, pesticides, explosives and drugs. It has
also been used to make bile acids, cholesterol and steroids.
Potential Hazards - Phenanthrene may cause irritation to the skin and respiratory tract. It emits acrid
smoke and fumes when heated to decomposition.
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, 55 facilities reported approximately 2.3 million pounds of phenanthrene.
Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a significant increase of approximately 1.3 million
pounds or approximately 131 percent in 2004.
REGIONAL: In 2004, facilities in EPA Regions 4 and 6 reported 90 percent of the phenanthrene.
STATES: For 2000-2004, facilities in 25 states reported phenanthrene. In 2004, facilities in five states
reported 96 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene in 2004. Facilities in Texas and Kentucky
reported 70 percent of the total quantity.
MANAGEMENT: Facilities used both energy recovery and treatment to manage phenanthrene; there
was no apparent trend regarding the extent to which these methods were used from one year to the next.
In 2004, approximately 52 percent of the total quantity of phenanthrene was sent to energy recovery,
approximately 44 percent was treated, and 4 percent was land disposed.
FACILITIES: Of the 55 facilities that reported phenanthrene in 2004, five facilities reported
approximately 94 percent of the total quantity of this chemical.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Facilities in five industry sectors reported more than 99 percent of the
phenanthrene in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.238 shows the number of facilities that reported phenanthrene in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that
were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, 55 facilities reported
approximately 2.3 million pounds of phenanthrene. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a
significant increase of approximately 1.3 million pounds or approximately 131 percent in 2004. Compared to

*Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.239 shows the number of facilities that reported phenanthrene within various quantity ranges. Of the
55 facilities that reported phenanthrene in 2004, five facilities reported approximately 94 percent of the total
quantity of this chemical. Two of these facilities accounted for approximately 68 percent of the total quantity.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.240 shows the quantity of phenanthrene reported by facilities in eight EPA regions in 2000 to 2004.
In 2004, facilities in EPA Regions 4 and 6 reported 90 percent of the phenanthrene. Facilities in these two EPA
regions accounted for most of the national increase of phenanthrene, compared to quantities reported in both
2000 and in 2003. Two facilities accounted for most of the increase in Region 4; one facility in Kentucky
attributed its increase to an increase in the production of carbon rods, the shutdown of another facility, located
in Alabama, generated increased quantities wastes from the cleanout of tanks and process equipment.
One facility accounted for most of the increase in Region 6. This facility had not previously reported
phenanthrene; it attributed the increase to its use of fuel oil (containing phenanthrene) purchased from a waste
broker.

Exhibit 4.241 shows how facilities managed phenanthrene, by EPA region, in 2004. Facilities in six of these
eight EPA regions used energy recovery and/or treatment for most of the phenanthrene. Approximately 86,500
pounds of phenanthrene were land disposed in 2004; facilities in several EPA regions used disposal as the
primary method to manage phenanthrene. In 2004, approximately 833,000 pounds of phenanthrene were
recycled by these facilities; Region 6 facilities reported approximately 72 percent of this quantity.
State Trends:
In 2000-2004, facilities in 25 states reported phenanthrene. Exhibit 4.242 shows the quantity of phenanthrene
that was reported between 2000 and 2004 in the five states where facilities accounted for 96 percent of the total
quantity of phenanthrene in 2004. Facilities in Texas and Kentucky reported 70 percent of the total quantity.
Compared to the quantities reported in 2000, facilities in all five of these states reported a significant increase in
2004. Except for Indiana, facilities in the other four states also reported significant increases compared to the
2003 quantities.
The large increase in Kentucky resulted primarily from a facility that increased its production of carbon rods.
One facility accounted for most of the increase in Louisiana; this facility had not previously reported
phenanthrene and attributed the increase to its use of fuel oil (containing phenanthrene) purchased from a waste
broker. The increased quantity in Alabama was primarily due to the shutdown of a facility which generated
increased quantities wastes from the cleanout of tanks and process equipment.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
For 2000-2004, facilities in 17 industry sectors reported phenanthrene. Exhibit 4.244 shows the quantities of
phenanthrene reported by the five industry sectors in which facilities accounted for more than 99 percent of the
total quantity of this chemical in 2004. In 2004, facilities in SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum) reported 34 percent
of the total quantity of phenanthrene. One facility, located in Kentucky, reported most of this quantity. In SIC
2819 (Industrial inorganic chemicals, nee), one facility, located in Texas, reported 100 percent of the total
quantity of phenanthrene.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in three of these five industry sectors reported large increases
in 2004. One facility in SIC 3334 (Primary aluminum) primarily accounted for the increase in this industry
sector. This facility, which began reporting phenanthrene in 2003, uses coal tar pitch and coke to produce
carbon rods for aluminum smelting. The coal tar pitch contains phenanthrene; increased production of carbon
rods results in an increased quantity of phenanthrene. The increase for SIC 2819 (Industrial inorganic
chemicals, nee) was caused when the only facility now reporting phenanthrene n this industry sector changed to
this SIC code from its previous SIC code 2812 (Alkalies and chlorine) in 2003. Conversely, facilities in SIC
2869 (Industrial organic chemicals, nee) reported a decrease of approximately 383,000 pounds; several facilities
in this industry sector reported smaller quantities of phenanthrene beginning in 2001.
Compared to quantities reported in 2003, facilities in four of these five industry sectors reported an increased
quantity in 2004. These included increases of 330,000 pounds by facilities in SIC 2869 and 111,000 pounds by
facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and intermediates). Most of the increased quantity for SIC 2869 was
reported by a facility in Louisiana that had not previously reported phenanthrene and attributed the increase to
its use of fuel oil (containing phenanthrene) purchased from a waste broker. The increased quantity for SIC
2865 was primarily due to the shutdown of a facility at which increased quantities of wastes containing
phenanthrene were generated from the cleanout of tanks and process equipment.

Exhibit 4.245 shows how facilities in these five industry sectors managed phenanthrene in 2004. Except for facilities in SIC 2865 (Cyclic crudes and
intermediates), facilities in the other four industry sectors primarily used onsite treatment and/or onsite energy recovery to manage phenanthrene.
Facilities in SIC 2865 used offsite energy recovery to manage approximately 60 percent of the phenanthrene; 34 percent of the phenanthrene was sent
to offsite disposal. A facility in Alabama undergoing shutdown reported most of the phenanthrene sent to offsite disposal. Some recycling of
phenanthrene was reported by facilities in five of the six industry sectors. In 2004, facilities in these industry sectors reported recycling of
approximately 676,000 pounds of phenanthrene; one facility in Texas accounted for 89 percent of the total recycling quantity reported by facilities in
these industry sectors.

Quintozene
Chemical Information:
Quintozene 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 - Quintozene 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. It also
may cause potential liver toxicity (EPA Integrated Risk Information System - IRIS).
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, only three facilities reported approximately 281,000 pounds of quintozene.
Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 27,000 pounds or 9
percent.
REGIONAL/STATE: In 2004, facilities in only three of the EPA regions reported quintozene. One
facility in EPA Region 9 (California) reported approximately 91 percent of the total quantity of
quintozene.
FACILITIES: Of the three facilities that reported quintozene in 2004, one facility reported
approximately 91 percent of the total quantity.
MANAGEMENT: From 2000 to 2004, facilities primarily used energy recovery to manage quintozene,
including 75 percent of this chemical in 2004.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: In 2004, only three facilities, all in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural
chemicals, nee), reported quintozene. Compared to quantities reported in 2000, these facilities reported
approximately 20,000 less pounds of quintozene in 2004.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.246 shows the number of facilities that reported quintozene in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that
were managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, only three facilities reported
approximately 281,000 pounds of quintozene. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease
of approximately 27,000 pounds or 9 percent. Compared to the quantity reported in 2003, the quantity
increased significantly, by approximately 45,000 pounds, or by approximately 19 percent.
For 2000-2004, facilities primarily used energy recovery to manage quintozene, including 75 percent of this
chemical in 2004. In 2004, facilities treated approximately 25 percent of the quintozene - an increase of 58,000
pounds, or approximately 499 percent compared to the quantity treated in 2003. Only relatively small quantities
of quintozene were disposed of since 2000; none was disposed of in 2004. Since 2000, relatively small
quantities of quintozene were recycled; in 2003 and 2004, only approximately 100 pounds were recycled.

'Note: Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented to provide some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already recycled compared
to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste minimization.
Exhibit 4.247 shows the number of facilities that reported quintozene within various quantity ranges in 2004.
Of the three facilities that reported quintozene in 2004, one facility reported approximately 91 percent of the
total quantity.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.248 shows the quantity of quintozene reported by facilities in five EPA regions in 2000 to 2004. In
2004, facilities in only three of the EPA regions reported quintozene. One facility in EPA Region 9 reported
approximately 91 percent of the total quantity of quintozene in 2004.
Some additional observations concerning increases and decreases include:
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, there was a large increase of approximately 25,000 pounds in
Region 4 in 2004. One facility accounted for this increase; this facility reported a steadily increasing
quantity of quintozene since 2000. The facility attributes the much larger quantity in 2004 to a newly
formulated product; however, it anticipated decreased production of the new product in 2005.
Since 2000, a facility in EPA Region 9 has consistently reported most of the quintozene, generated in the
production of a technical grade pesticide. In 2004 this facility reported approximately 41,000 fewer pounds
of quintozene compared to the quantity reported in 2000 but reported an increase of approximately 27,000
pounds compared to the 2003 quantity. Since 2000, this facility's reported quantities of quintozene reflect
both increases and decreases in production.

State Trends:
Exhibit 4.250 shows the quantity of quintozene that was reported by facilities in five states, between 2000 and
2004. Some highlights include:
One facility in California accounted for 91 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004. Compared
to quantities reported in 2000, this facility reported approximately 41,000 fewer pounds of quintozene in
2004. It reported an increase of approximately 27,000 pounds compared to the 2003 quantity. This
facility's reported quantities of quintozene reflect both increases and decreases in production of a technical
grade pesticide.
In 2004, a facility in Georgia reported an increase of approximately 25,000 pounds, compared to quantity
reported in 2000. This facility reported a steadily increasing quantity of quintozene since 2000 and
attributed the increase in 2004 to a newly formulated product.
Facilities in Ohio and Iowa no longer report quintozene.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
Exhibit 4.252 shows the quantities of quintozene reported by facilities in two industry sectors in 2000-2004. In
2004, only three facilities, all in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee), reported quintozene.
Compared to quantities reported in 2000, facilities in SIC 2879 reported approximately 20,000 less pounds of
quintozene in 2004. In 2004, SIC 2879 facilities reported an increase of approximately 45,000 pounds. One
facility in SIC 2879 accounted for 91 percent of the total quantity of quintozene in 2004. This facility's
reported quantities of quintozene reflect both increases and decreases in production of a technical grade
pesticide.
In 2004, another SIC 2879 facility, located in Georgia, reported an increase of approximately 25,000 pounds,
compared to quantity reported in 2000. This facility reported a steadily increasing quantity of quintozene since
2000 and attributes the large increase in 2004 to a newly formulated product.
Exhibit 4.253 shows how facilities in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) managed
quintozene in 2004. One of the three facilities primarily used offsite energy recovery. The remaining quantity
of quintozene from this facility as well as from the other two facilities in this industry sector was treated offsite.
None of the quintozene was land disposed in 2004. One of the facilities recycled 110 pounds of quintozene in
2004.

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. 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 - Trifluralin is an irritant of the eyes and skin. It emits toxic fumes of fluorine and
nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition and has potential liver toxicity and blood effects (EPA
Integrated Risk System IRIS).
Summary Analysis:
NATIONAL: In 2004, only nine facilities reported approximately 82,000 pounds of trifluralin.
Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of approximately 6,600 pounds or 7.5
percent. One facility reported nearly 76 percent of the total quantity.
REGIONAL: In 2004 facilities in only four of the regions reported trifluralin. Facilities in Region 7
reported 84 percent of the total quantity.
STATES: For 2000-2004, facilities in 14 states reported trifluralin; by 2004 only facilities in five of
these states reported this chemical. One facility in Iowa accounted for 76 percent of the total quantity of
this chemical in 2004.
MANAGEMENT: Since 2000, most of the trifluralin was treated.
INDUSTRY SECTOR: Facilities in only three industry sectors reported trifluralin in 2004. Facilities in
SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) reported 97 percent of the trifluralin.
National Trends:
Exhibit 4.254 shows the number of facilities that reported trifluralin in 2000 to 2004 and the quantities that were
managed via disposal, treatment, energy recovery, and recycling. In 2004, only nine facilities reported
approximately 82,000 pounds of trifluralin. Compared to the quantity reported in 2000, there was a decrease of
approximately 6,600 pounds or 7.5 percent. Compared to the quantity reported in 2003, the quantity increased
significantly, by approximately 24,000 pounds or by approximately 42 percent. The number of facilities that
reported trifluralin in 2004 decreased by 40 percent compared to the number of facilities that had reported
trifluralin in 2000-2003.
Since 2000, most of the trifluralin was treated. Since 2003, disposal of trifluralin has been decreasing; in 2004,
78 percent less trifluralin was disposed than in 2000. No quantity of trifluralin was sent to energy recovery.
Since 2000, only relatively small quantities of trifluralin were recycled, including only 81 pounds in 2004.

disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already
recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment, and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste
minimization.
Exhibit 4.255 shows the number of facilities that reported trifluralin within various quantity ranges. Of the nine
facilities that reported trifluralin in 2004, one facility reported nearly 76 percent of the total quantity. Five of
the facilities reported 99 percent of the total quantity.

EPA Regional Trends:
Exhibit 4.256 shows the quantity of trifluralin reported in seven EPA regions by facilities in 2000 to 2004.
Some observations include:
In 2004 facilities in only four of the regions reported trifluralin.
Facilities in Region 7 reported 84 percent of the total quantity. Compared to quantities reported in 2000,
Region 7 facilities reported a decrease of approximately 17,000 pounds or approximately 20 percent in
2004; compared to 2003, however, an increase of approximately 21,000 pounds or 45 percent was reported.
Most of the increased quantity in 2004 was attributed to increased production of a herbicide at one of the
Region 7 facilities. One facility likewise reported most of the increase reported in 2004 for Region 6; this
facility produced a new herbicide in 2003 and increased its production in 2004.

Exhibit 4.257 shows how facilities managed trifluralin, by EPA region, in 2004. Overall, approximately 97
percent of the trifluralin was treated, of which 91 percent was offsite. Facilities in EPA Regions 4, 6, and 7
primarily used this management method. One facility in EPA Region 5, which accounted for the majority of the
Region 5 quantity of trifluralin, sent 100 percent of its trifluralin to offsite disposal. In 2004, no trifluralin was
sent to energy recovery and very little recycling of trifluralin was reported.

State Trends:
From 2000 to 2004, facilities in 14 states reported trifluralin; by 2004 only facilities in five of these states
reported this chemical. Exhibit 4.258 shows the quantity of trifluralin that was reported by facilities in these
five states, between 2000 and 2004. Some highlights include:
One facility in Iowa accounted for 76 percent of the total quantity of this chemical in 2004. Compared to
quantities reported in 2000, this facility reported approximately 41,000 fewer pounds of trifluralin in
2004. However, it reported an increase of approximately 29,000 pounds compared to the 2003 quantity.
The facility attributed most of the increased quantity to increased production of a herbicide in 2004.
In Texas, one facility accounted for the increased quantity of trifluralin in 2003 and 2004. This facility
produced a new herbicide in 2003 and increased its production in 2004.
The decrease of approximately 5,000 pounds in Missouri was mostly due to a decrease in the production
of a herbicide at one facility.

Industry Sector (SIC) Trends:
From 2000 to 2004, facilities in seven industry sectors reported trifluralin; by 2004, facilities in only three of the industry sectors reported this
chemical. Exhibit 4.260 shows the quantity of trifluralin reported by facilities in these three industry sectors from 2000 to 2004. In 2004, facilities in
SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural chemicals, nee) reported 97 percent of the trifluralin. One of the seven facilities in this industry sector reported
76 percent of the national total quantity of trifluralin in 2004. This facility accounted for most of the increase of approximately 28,000 pounds in
2004.
Exhibit 4.261 shows how facilities in these three industry sectors managed trifluralin in 2004. Facilities in SIC 2879 (Pesticides and agricultural
chemicals, nee) treated trifluralin, mostly (94 percent offsite). The facility in SIC 2875 (Fertilizers, mixing only) sent all of its trifluralin to offsite
disposal; this facility also reported the only quantity (81 pounds) of trifluralin recycled in 2004. The facility in SIC 2032 (Canned specialties) used
both onsite and offsite treatment for its trifluralin.

Section 5
Trends for the Priority Chemicals at Federal Facilities (2000-2004)
Introduction
This section presents information regarding Priority Chemicals (PCs) that federal facilities (i.e., facilities that
are owned or operated by the federal government) report to the TRI Program on national, EPA regional and
state levels. Within each of these levels, facility data are aggregated by the associated federal agency. For the
purposes of this Report, we also included government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) federal facilities.
We included only those federal facilities that reported one or more of the PCs to TRI and that indicated they
were a federal or GOCO facility on the TRI Form R. 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 Federal Facilities' Priority Chemicals Addressed in This Report Relate to the
Executive Order on Priority Chemicals?
On April 21, 2000, Executive Order (EO) 13148: Greening the Government through Leadership in
Environmental Management mandated that federal agencies reduce the use of identified PCs by at least 50
percent by December 31, 2006. Section 503(b) of the Executive Order mandates: "Within 9 months of the date
of this order, the Administrator, in coordination with the Workgroup established in section 306 of this order,
shall develop a list of not less than 15 priority chemicals used by the Federal Government that may result in
significant harm to human health or the environment and that have known, readily available, less harmful
substitutes for identified applications and purposes."
An Interagency Workgroup subsequently decided to initially address five chemicals: lead, cadmium, mercury,
naphthalene, and PCBs. It is important to note that the focus of the mandate in EO Section 503 is to reduce the
"use" of the identified chemicals at federal facilities. Federal agencies are required to collect information
regarding efforts to reduce use of the EO PCs from each federal facility within their jurisdictions and submit an
annual report to EPA.
This section shows trends regarding the generation and management of the eight PCs that federal facilities
reported for 2004, out of 24 that are reported to the TRI. The following discussion refers solely to the
generation and management of PCs from a waste minimization perspective and is separate from the EO
mandate regarding the use of chemicals at federal facilities.
Summary Analysis- Priority Chemicals at Federal Facilities for 2004
Approximately 3.4 million pounds of eight PCs were reported by 193 federal facilities.
Federal facilities in Regions 4 and 10 reported approximately 51 percent of the total national quantity of
PCs generated by federal facilities.
Department of Defense (DOD) facilities in New Jersey (Region 2), North Carolina and South Carolina
(Region 4), Texas (Region 6), California (Region 9) and Oregon (Region 10) and a Department of Energy
(DOE) facility in Idaho (Region 10) reported approximately 52 percent of the total national quantity of PCs
reported by federal facilities.
Federal facilities' primary method of PC management was disposal, with 95 percent disposed of in 2004.
This likely reflects the fact that lead and lead compounds comprise 95 percent of the PC quantity reported
by federal facilities, and land disposal is the primary means of managing metals/metal compounds.
5-1
-------
Federal facilities in four EPA Regions: Region 4 (27.8%), Region 10 (18.8%), Region 6 (13.7%), and
Region 9 (10.7%), reported approximately 71 percent of the lead and lead compounds.
Of the 193 federal facilities that reported a PC quantity, 53 federal facilities accounted for 94 percent of the
total quantity, and six accounted for more than one third (36%).
* Facilities in the DOD and DOE accounted for approximately 96 percent of the PCs.
Generation of Priority Chemicals by Federal Facilities (2000-2004)
National Overview of Generation Trends
In 2004, 193 federal facilities reported approximately 3.4 million pounds of eight PCs. Although both the
number of reporting facilities and the total quantity of PCs increased significantly in 2001, compared to the year
2000, they have remained relatively constant since 2002. In 2001, there was a large increase in both the number
of reporting facilities and the total quantity of PCs they reported (Exhibits 5-1 and 5-2). Most of the increase
was attributed to facilities in SIC 9711 (National Security), primarily military installations, reporting larger
quantities of lead and lead compounds. This increased quantity was likely caused by:
1. A lower TRI reporting threshold for lead and lead compounds that took effect in 2001.
2. Guidance issued by the DOD in 2000 requiring ranges to report, effective as of the 2001 TRI Reporting
year.
3. The increase in training and other activities at federal facilities in support of military and security
operations to counter terrorism worldwide.
The DOD's ongoing implementation of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process is another factor
that potentially affects the generation of PCs by DOD facilities. Congress authorized this process to allow DOD
to reorganize its base structure to more efficiently and effectively support United States forces and increase
operational readiness (http://www.dod.mil/brac/faqs001 .html). Actions such as the closing of facilities or
shifting of mission will probably affect the quantities of PCs generated by a particular facility. We do not know
the possible cumulative impact of the BRAC process on the total quantity of PCs that DOD facilities generate.

*Note: This Report primarily shows only quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we
believe these management methods offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Because recycled PC wastes are already directed to
their best uses, recycling does not count as a PC management method and we cannot show their percentage. We list them to show their relative
quantities.

Exhibits 5.3 and 5.4 show overall trends concerning the management of PCs by federal facilities.
Since 2002, federal facilities, on average, have used land disposal for approximately 3.2 million pounds of PCs.
Since 2001, federal facilities annually have recycled approximately 1.1 million pounds of PCs Lead and lead
compounds accounted for most of both the disposal and recycling quantities.
Since 2001, federal facilities used energy recovery for only a relatively small portion of the PCs, including less
than 1 percent of the total PC quantity in 2004. Although federal facilities used treatment to a greater extent
than energy recovery, only 4.2 percent of the PCs were treated in 2004.

Regional Overview of Generation Trends
Regional Insights:
Lead and lead compounds in seven EPA regions decreased in 2004. Among the decreased quantities
were: Region 7 (-209,118 pounds), Region 4 (-199,558 pounds), Region 9 (-123,274 pounds), and
Region 5 (-121,410 pounds).
Lead and lead compounds increased in three EPA regions in 2004, including an increase of 413,559
pounds in Region 10.
In 2004, the quantity of naphthalene increased significantly in Region 4, including more than doubling
compared to the quantity reported in 2003.
Federal facilities in Region 4 eliminated 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and hexachloroethane. Likewise, federal
facilities in Region 10 reported a large decrease in hexachloroethane; however, in Region 10, there was
a large increase in 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene.
PACs increased significantly in Region 5.
Mercury and mercury compounds increased significantly in Region 9.
Federal facilities in EPA Regions 4 and 10 reported approximately 51 percent of the total national quantity of
PCs generated by federal facilities in 2004 (Exhibit 5-9). In six of the 10 regions, the quantity of PCs decreased
compared to the quantities reported in 2003.

Management of Primary Chemicals by Federal Agencies (2000-2004)
How Did Federal Agencies Manage PCs?
In 2004, federal facilities land disposed most of their PCs - of which approximately 95 percent were lead and
lead compounds. Exhibits 5.15 and 5.16 show how federal facilities managed their PCs within federal agencies,
by EPA region and state.
Management Methods Insights:
Disposal: Federal facilities used land disposal for approximately 54 percent of the total PC quantity land
disposed (3,255,705 pounds), including:
Region 2, New Jersey - DOD (145,572 pounds)
Region 4, Georgia - DOD (130,632 pounds)
Region 4, Kentucky - DOD (130,632 pounds)
Region 4, North Carolina - DOD (346,478 pounds)
Region 4, South Carolina - DOD (140,500 pounds)
Region 6, Texas - DOD (224,829 pounds)
Region 9, California - DOD (141,520 pounds)
Region 10, Idaho - DOE (476,867 pounds)
Treatment: A DOD facility in Region 10 (Oregon) reported approximately 98 percent of the total PC quantity
treated (144,393 pounds) by federal facilities.
Energy Recovery: Approximately 79 percent of the total PC quantity managed by federal facilities, using
energy recovery, was reported by facilities in:
Region 4, North Carolina - DOD (9,643 pounds) and
Region 5, Illinois - DOD (10,595 pounds)
Recycling: Approximately 77 percent of the quantity of PCs recycled in 2004 by federal facilities was reported
by facilities in:
Region 4, South Carolina - DOE (750,639 pounds)
Region 4, Tennessee -DOE (106,850 pounds)
Region 9, Nevada - DOE (107,512 pounds)

Section 6
Trends Analyses for Specific Industry Sectors
Introduction
This is the first time we have included in this Report a section looking at the generation and management of PCs
by facilities within a specific Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, or industry sector. In addition to
showing national, Regional, and state generation trends, we also present basic information regarding the
industry sector.
The sector which we have analyzed is SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces (including coke ovens) and steel mills). We
chose this sector because it accounted for a significant portion of the total quantity of PCs in 2004 and offers
potential waste minimization opportunities.
Future Sector Analyses
We plan to analyze additional sectors in subsequent editions of this Report. Ultimately, we would like to
include the sectors that account for at least 80 percent of the total quantity of PCs that are generated. We also
plan to discuss potential waste minimization opportunities for PCs within each of the sectors.
Beginning with the 2006 TRI reporting year, facilities must report NAICS code rather than the SIC code that
TRI has used since reporting began in 1987.
Exhibit 6.1 shows the relationship between the NAICS and SIC categories associated with the transformation of
raw materials into iron and steel value added products. For the purposes of this Report, we focus on the steel
works involving blast furnaces and EAFs as reported under NAICS code 331111 (SIC 3312) and comprise
operational activities known collectively as the iron and steel industry.
We also are working to develop a methodology to extract Hazardous Waste Biennial Report (BR) data
applicable to PCs in hazardous waste streams. We plan to include this information in future sector analyses.

Industry Sector Information for SIC 3312 (Blast furnaces and steel mills)
Industry Overview
The SIC 3312 sector encompasses facilities that manufacture steel and form it into basic shapes and forms that
can be used to create steel products. This sector is divided into two basic types, with each type representing
approximately half of domestic production:
Integrated steel mills which use a three-step process to produce steel from iron ore, coke (made from
coal by cokemaking), and limestone; ironmaking (using a blast furnace), and Basic Oxygen Furnace
(EOF) technology.
"Mini-mills" which produce steel from scrap metal using Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology,
without operations for coking or ironmaking.
A fully integrated steel mill involves cokemaking, ironmaking, steelmaking, and the subsequent steel forming
and finishing operations. Coke serves as a fuel and carbon source and is produced by hesiting coal in the
absence of oxygen at high temperatures in coke ovens. Pig iron is then produced by heating the coke, iron ore,
and limestone in a blast furnace. In the BOF, high-purity oxygen is injected along with molten pig iron from
the blast furnace and flux. Approximately 20 to 35 percent of the "charge" to the furnace is scrap steel.13
Alternatively, in mini-mills using EAFs, the input material is scrap steel, both purchased scrap and home scrap
from the facility; in many cases is 100 percent of the charge14, which is melted by passing an electric current
from electrodes through the scrap.
Exhibit 6.2 shows the process flows for both integrated- and mini-mills. For a more detailed discussion of these
industry processes, operations, and environmental impacts, see the list of suggested references in the Waste
Minimization Opportunities discussion in this Section.
Industry Demographics
According to DOE,15 there has been considerable consolidation in the industry over the last few decades. As of
2002, 90 companies were producing raw steel at almost 140 locations. The absolute number of integrated mills
producing steel in BOFs has always been relatively small and is currently at around 20. Most (approximately
80% ) of U.S. steelmaking capacity is located at mills concentrated in the Great Lakes region, primarily in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New York.

Industry Products Characterization
Steel is an alloy of iron that contains varying amounts of carbon, as well as other elements, such as nickel and
chromium. The iron and steel industry produces semi-finished steel shapes, such as bars, sheets, and strips, as
well as finished products such as wires, rods, and pipes.
The U.S. steel industry is vital to both economic competitiveness and national security. Steel is the backbone of
bridges, skyscrapers, railroads, automobiles, and appliances. More than 3,000 catalogue grades of steel are
available, not including custom grades for specific users. Most grades of steel in use today, particularly high-
strength steels that are light and versatile, were not available ten years ago.
The U.S. steel industry is a $50 + billion enterprise and additional downstream processing pushes the value of
steel shipments closer to $75 billion. The U.S. produced 103 million net tons of raw steel in 2003, nearly 10
percent of the total world steel production of 1.06 billion net tons. Exhibit 6.3 shows the steel industry's market
distribution.

Industry Environmental Effects 18
The iron and steel sector affects several environmental media, including air emissions, wastewater
contaminants, hazardous and solid wastes. The most significant environmental effects from integrated steel
mills result from coking and ironmaking activities which generate pollutants, including PACs, benzene, and
"toxic" metals. These organic and metal pollutants are associated with a number of RCRA listed and some
characteristic wastes. U.S. steelmakers are researching, both independently and with various federal and
international programs, new technologies to reduce the environmental impacts of steelmaking, such as to
decrease their reliance on coke or to make steel using far less energy.19
As an industry, mini-mills are the largest U.S. consumers of recycled steel scrap, but they also face issues
related to contaminants in scrap products such as lead, cadmium, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
and other "toxics." We provide below the quantities of PCs in wastes that facilities in the SIC 3312 industry
sector reported to TRI.
Facilities in SIC 3312 Generating Priority Chemicals
In 2004, 95 facilities in SIC 3312 reported to TRI about 9.9 million pounds of PCs (Exhibit 6.4). This was
about 12 percent of the total quantity of PCs reported by all industry sectors. In 2001, the number of facilities
increased. In part, this increase may have been due to the decrease in the TRI reporting threshold for lead and
lead compounds that became effective for the 2001 TRI reporting year. Since 2001, the number of facilities has
remained relatively stable.
Since the quantity of PCs generated is to a large extent influenced by production levels, the decreased quantity
of PCs in 2001-2003 may have been due to increased steel imports and the recession of 2001. Facilities
reporting increased quantities of PCs in 2003-2004 likely reflect an economic recovery.

* Priority Chemical quantity refers to the quantity of PCs that were managed via disposal, energy recovery, or treatment. Quantities
of PCs recycled are presented separately.
Facilities in this industry sector reported 11 PCs from 2000-2004 (Exhibit 6.5). Lead and lead compounds
accounted for the overwhelming quantity of PCs, including about 94 percent of the total quantity of PCs
reported by facilities in this industry sector in 2004.

In 2004, SIC 3312 facilities that reported PCs were located in 27 states within nine EPA Regions. Facilities in
EPA Regions 4 and 5 accounted for about 53 percent of the total quantity of PCs for this industry sector. In
Indiana and Alabama, facilities reported more than one million pounds of PCs (Exhibit 6.8).

Management of Priority Chemicals by facilities in SIC 3312
Lead was the primary PC reported by SIC 3312 facilities and accounted for most of the approximately 97
percent of the PC quantity that was land disposed. The 310,000 pounds of naphthalene that two Pennsylvania
facilities sent to treatment accounted for the most significant non-disposed PC quantity.
From 2000-2004, the recycled quantity of PCs was approximately 60 percent more than the PC quantity, i.e.,
the quantity that was managed via land disposal, energy recovery, or treatment (Exhibit 6.9). SIC 3312
facilities in most of the states reported significant recycling of PCs in 2004 (Exhibit 6.10).

*Priority Chemical quantity refers to the quantity of PCs that were managed via disposal, energy recovery, or treatment. Quantities of PCs
recycled are presented separately.
** Waste minimization is the emphasis of this Report. As such, we primarily focus on quantities of PCs that are managed via onsite/offsite
disposal, treatment, or energy recovery because we believe these PC quantities offer the greatest opportunities for waste minimization. Since
recycled quantities of PCs are already directed to their best uses, they are considered separate and distinct from the quantities of PCs not recycled.
Throughout this section, the recycled quantity is presented for the purpose of providing some perspective regarding the quantity of this PC already
recycled compared to the quantities that are managed via disposal, treatment and energy recovery and thus potentially available for waste

Approximately 97 percent of the non-recycled PCs that SIC 3312 facilities reported was land disposed in 2004, mostly offsite. SIC 3312 facilities
used land disposal for all or some of eight of the PC quantity of 11 PCs (Exhibit 6.11). SIC 3312 facilities treated the majority of the dibenzofuran,
dioxins, and PACs. Most of the recycling reported by facilities in this industry was for lead.

Appendix B
SIC Codes vs. NAICS Codes
In this 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 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 2000-2004. The following table shows the
379 SIC codes and SIC descriptions for which one or more facilities reported a PC quantity to TRI from 2000 to
2004. A PC quantity was not necessarily reported by facilities in each of these SIC codes for each of the five
years from 2000 to 2004. For example, in 2004, facilities in only 325 of these SIC codes reported a PC
quantity.
For the 2006 TRI reporting year, facilities must begin reporting the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes rather than the SIC codes (see 71 FR 32464, published on June 6, 2006). The NAICS
codes were developed such that establishments are grouped into industries according to similarities in the
processes used to produce goods or services. For a comprehensive list of NAICS codes and the corresponding
SIC codes, please refer to www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html. This Report will use the NAICS codes when
they are incorporated into the TRI dataset, which is expected to be made available to the public in the Public
Data Release (PDR) in early 2008.

Appendix C
Methodology for Calculating Quantities of Priority Chemicals
and Measuring Trends
The Priority Chemical Measurement Methodology
To identify and collect data on Priority Chemicals (PCs) reported to the TRI from 2000 through 2004, 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.
4. Analyze data and measure progress made toward the 2008 GPRA goal
These steps are described below.
Step 1: Extract Data Regarding Priority Chemicals (PCs) Reported to TRI
Twenty-four of the 31 PCs identified by OSW are reported to TRI. Using the Chemical Abstract System (CAS)
numbers of these 24 PCs (Exhibit C-l), data on these chemicals were extracted from the TRI for reporting years
2000 through 2004. 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 2000 through 2004), frozen as of January 17, 2006,
were used. This is the same data set used for the 2003 TRI Public Data Release (April 12, 2006). However, we
subsequently made some revisions to the data based on quality assurance activities. The extracted data were
used to create a PC database. Exhibit C-l lists the PCs included in this methodology.

1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene
4-Bromophenyl phenyl ether
Acenaphthene
Acenaphthylene
Endosulfan, alpha, beta-
Fluorene
Heptachlor epoxide
Pyrene
For the purposes of developing this list of 31 PCs, 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.

-------
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-2); we believe that PCs reported by these facilities
were associated with Bevill exempt materials:

In addition, all data reported by the Rineco facility in Arkansas (ARD981057870) were assigned to SIC code
4953 for the five years (2000 through 2004) analyzed, instead of SIC code 9511, as may have been reported in
TRI. As such, it was excluded from the analysis.
Data Reported for Facilities Using SIC Code 9511. Facilities that reported the SIC code 9511 as their
primary SIC code were excluded from the analysis because such facilities do not offer waste minimization
opportunities. The focus of this measurement methodology is to identify PC quantities associated with primary
generation activities. As such, facilities in SIC 9511 and facilities undertaking RCRA corrective action or
Superfund actions were excluded because these facilities do not offer limited, if any, waste minimization
opportunities at the primary generation level.
C-3
-------
The description of SIC 9511 (Air and Water Resource and Solid Waste Management) is: government
establishments primarily engaged in regulation, planning, protection and conservation of air and water
resources; solid waste management; water and air pollution control and prevention; flood control; drainage
development, and consumption of water resources; coordination of these activities at intergovernmental levels;
research necessary for air pollution abatement and control and conservation of water resources.
Data for these facilities were included in a separate table in the database. In addition, the quantities reported by
the U.S. DOE Hanford site (TRI ID 99352-SPDRT-POBOX), U.S. EPA fund-led Superfund site/Bunker Hill
CTP (TRI ID 83837-SPFND-1005M), and U.S. Navy AFWTF Live Impact Area (TRI ID 00765-SNVYF-
CERRO) sites were also excluded from the analysis and included in the same table as the SIC 9511 facilities.
Step 3: Identify Relevant Releases and Waste Management Quantities to Calculate
Priority Chemical Quantities
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-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. The 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 previously). 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 Report, no
distinction is shown between Subtitle C and Subtitle D wastes containing the PCs. Quantities presented in this
Report are the total of these two categories. However, the facility specific data in the database do 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 onsite 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.
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 offsite management methods, it is generally assumed that:
If the generating facility and the offsite 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 offsite facility does not have a valid RCRA
ID number, the wastes are regulated under Subtitle D.
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.
C-4
-------
The equations used to calculate the PC quantities associated with Subtitle C activities are presented in Exhibit
C-5. The equations used to calculate the PC quantities associated with Subtitle D activities are presented in
Exhibit C-6.
As shown in Exhibits C-5 and C-6, the PC quantities are calculated using data reported in Sections 5 and 6 of
TPJ 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-7).
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-8.
Exhibit C-9 shows the TRI data files and data elements used to develop the databases that implement the
measurement methodology. Exhibit C-10 shows the adjustments that OSW staff made to the TRI data extracted
for the PCs database based on follow-up quality assurance activities. Although we ideally strive to determine
the quantities of Priority Chemicals that are contained in wastes amenable to waste minimization, often an
increase or decrease at a facility is not necessarily related to production but rather is influenced by other factors
such as process or plant shutdowns, periodic cleanout of tanks, piping systems, etc. that are part of routine
maintenance, improved measurement and detection equipment, and compliance with new regulations. We often
cannot readily discern that an increase or decrease of quantities of Priority Chemicals was associated with such
an event and may only learn about it as a result of conducting quality assurance of the data by, for example,
contacting the facility to verify a significant change from one year to another.
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 2000-2004, applicable to the 24 PCs, are
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 24 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 five years
of available TRI data (2000-2004). 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 PC quantity (land disposal quantity + treatment
quantity + energy recovery quantity) reported for the 24 PCs, either individually or aggregated, between any
two years.
20 Although 24 of the 31 PCs are reported to TRI, only 23 of the PCs are tracked for the 2008 GPRA goal. Polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) were not on the list of PCs at the time the 2008 GPRA goal was developed.

Exhibit C-7. 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 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).

All remaining records: PC quantities calculated using the equations in Exhibits 5 and 6 (i.e., original PC
quantities) were updated by undertaking the following steps:
1. Estimate percentage of Subtitle C and D total for each original PC quantity.
2. Assign portion of Section 8.8 quantity to each PC quantity category (e.g., Subtitle C on-site disposal,
Subtitle D onsite disposal) based on percentages estimated under Step 1.
3. Update PC quantities by subtracting estimated Section 8.8 quantity (i.e., quantity estimated under
Step 2) from original PC quantities.
