TRI: New England
TRI: New England" is a report on the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics
Release Inventory and what it shows about the release of toxic chemicals in New
England. The Toxics Release Inventory, or TRI, was created as a result of a law passed
in 1986 known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, or
EPCRA.
EPCRA is unique. It required Industry to make available, for the first time, a large
amount of information on the storage and release of hazardous and toxic chemicals.
Section 313 of EPCRA, which authorized the Toxics Release Inventory, requires manu-
facturers to provide EPA and the states with yearly reports on the amount of chemicals
they routinely release into the environment This information is then entered into a
computerized database (the TRI) which is directly available to the public through a
computer. Currently, the TRI has information on the release of 6.2 billion pounds of
chemicals nationwide.
The purpose of this report is to present an overview of the TRI data for EPA
Region I (New England). In addition to providing information on problems and trends,
we hope the report will stimulate interest in using the TRI by state and local government,
environmental groups, and industry. There are several important features of the TRI that
anyone reading this report or using TRI information needs to understand.
Who Has to Report In the Toxics Release Inventory? Not all industrial facilities need
to provide TRI reports. Under the law, reporting is required only if a facility meets jH of
the following requirements: First, they have to be a manufacturer (defined as being in
Standard Industrial Classification Codes 20 through 39). Dry cleaners, for example do
not have to report. Second, they have to have 10 or more full time employees. Third,
they have to use more than certain threshold amounts of toxic chemicals.
These thresholds have been lowered since the first reporting year (1987). Cur-
rently, a manufacturer needs to manufacture or process more than 25,000 pounds of a
listed chemical or otherwise use more than 10,000 pounds of a listed chemical to be
required to report. In 1988, the year which most of this report's information is based on,
the manufacture/process threshold was 50,000 pounds.
TRI reports are due to both EPA and the states on July 1 of every year for the
previous calendar year. EPA has currently received information on releases for 1987,
1988, and 1989. The data in this report is mainly for 1987 and 1988. As the 1989 TRI
database was not released to the public until May, 1991, we were not able to include it in
the body of this report. A summary of the 1989 data is included in Appendix D.
What Information do these Industries provide? Reporting is required on over 300
individual chemicals and chemical categories. (Appendix A includes a sample TRI form,
Appendix B includes a list of these chemicals.) As discussed below, this list of reportable
chemicals can change as EPA lists or delists chemicals in response to outside petitions
or internal agency reviews. Facilities are required to fill out one form for each chemical
they must report on, and all of this information ends up in the TRI database.
There is a wide variety of Information required on the form, but the key elements
are the yearly estimates of environmental releases and transfers. Facilities are required
to report on the following:
Three Conditions for

in the Toxics
Release Inventory
-------
TRI: New England
Both On-Site
Chemical Releases
and Off-Site
Transfers of
Chemicals are
Reported.
TRI Data Are
Estimates, Not
Precise Calculations.
o On-site environmental releases into air, water or land for each chemical. Air
releases are broken down into stack emissions and fugitive emissions (such as from
vents or equipment leaks). In most cases, these releases are lawful, permitted, emis-
sions or discharges.
o Off-site transfers of chemicals to POTWS (publicly owned treatment works or
sewage treatment plants) or other waste treatment facilities.
Other data on the form includes facility identification information (including the
name of a contact to answer questions from the public) and information on how waste
is treated.
How accurate is the information? The TRI data should be considered reasonable
estimates, not precise calculations. EPCRA does not require industry to do additional
monitoring of chemical releases, so in many cases facilities used estimates based on
engineering judgement or other methods that may have a wide margin of error. In
addition, since facilities report on the total release of a chemical for a whole year, it is
not possible to tell from the TRI if a chemical was released continually during the year or
not.
In addition, not all facilities that were required to report actually did so. EPA
estimates that roughly 80% of the facilities that had to report are in compliance, but
there are still some omissions. EPA has an aggressive enforcement program to target
non-reporters, and we have currently issued over $1.8 million in penalties to compa-
nies that failed to report but should have.
In spite of these limitations, we think the TRI database is an exciting and valuable
tool that has focused public and corporate attention on a wide range of environmental
problems. Many companies have committed to pollution prevention strategies as a
result of the Toxics Release Inventory. As this report shows, the TRI has the capacity to
both provide answers and, more importantly, stimulate useful questions on a wide
range of environmental issues.
This report includes several sections designed to provide a summary of TRI data.
First, there is an overview of New England which includes a comparison of this Region
with the rest of the country, and summaries of major chemicals and industries reported
in the TRI. There are also brief summaries of TRI data broken down by "media' (air,
water, land).
Following this regional summary is a separate section which provides detailed TRI
information for each state, including the top 10 chemicals, the top 10 facilities, and other
data. Many states are actively using the TRI information in their environmental pro-
grams, and some have created their own, state-specific, databases.
Finally, there are appendices which provide additional detail on TRI reporting and
how anyone who is interested can access and use TRI data. Readers interested in
getting additional data are encouraged to do so either directly through the TRI or
through the national TRI report EPA publishes each fall.
As noted above, the information in this report is mainly from 1987 and 1988
reports that have been entered into the TRI system as of the end of 1990. The units for
reporting are pounds per year. We encourage anyone with comments or suggestions
about the report to contact the EPA regional office in Boston.

Figure 1, above, compares the total amount of chemicals released on-site or
transferred off-site in New England with the entire country for 1988. New England
represents about 3% of the national total, and has a higher percentage of chemicals
released into the air, discharged into POTWs (sewage treatment plants) and transferred
off-site to waste treatment facilities. There is no underground injection reported in the
TRI for New England, and the percent of on-site land disposal is less than the country as
well.
Table 1, below, shows the total number of reports, facilities and chemical releases
and transfers for New England and the country in 1987 and 1988. The number of reports
is greater than the number of facilities since facilities are required to submit a separate
report for each chemical they report on, and many facilities have to submit more than
one report. Total releases and transfers (Total R/T") means both environmental re-
leases, on-site and off-site transfers of chemicals to POTWs and waste treatment facili-
ties.

Although the number of reporting facilities increased from 1987 to 1988, the
amount of chemical releases reported decreased both regionally and nationally. The
reason for these decreases are not clear from the forms. It could be the result of either
actual reductions in chemical releases or "paper" reductions; changes In the way re-
leases are estimated or reported. The only way to know about a particular facility is by
contacting them directly.

The above map illustrates the locations of facilities that report under Section 313
of SARA, the Toxic Release Inventory. This map is not completely accurate as facility
locations have not been verified and some facilities were not put on the map because
they reported incorrect latitudes and logitudes. This map is useful, however, in that it
shows where the reporting industries are clustered.
TRI data is used in EPA's outreach efforts to industry as it can provide information
such as industry type (through SIC code) chemical use, and geographic location. The
Form Rs submitted in July, 1992 for reporting year 1991 will include new pollution
prevention data elements. These data elements will provide information that can be
used to determine whether companies are taking any measures to reduce their use of
Section 313 chemicals. These new data elements, which are required by the Pollution
Prevention Act of 1990, include:
- The quantity of the chemical (prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal) entering
any waste stream or released to the environment.
The quantities of the chemical recycled at the facility and elsewhere.
- The quantities of the chemical treated at the facility and elsewhere.
- Information on source reduction activities and the methods used to identify
those activities.

The New England County Map illustrates the releases and transfers of TRI chemi-
cals reported in 1988. The largest concentration of releases/transfers is in central
Massachusetts, with three counties totaling over 10,000,000 pounds each, and in Con-
necticut, with three counties totaling over 10,000,000 pounds. Five Connecticut coun-
ties have totals greater than 2,500,000 pounds, and all eleven counties have totals of
greater than 500,000 pounds.
Vermont has the least concentrations of TRI releases and transfers of the six New
England States. The majority of the counties in this state reported totals of less than
500,000 pounds of TRI chemicals.
The majority of Maine counties reported totals of greater than 100,000 pounds.
Although Maine does not have many facilities reporting, those that do report are indus-
tries that release large amounts of TRI chemicals, such as pulp and paper manufacturin
facilities.

Figure 2 and Table 2 provide comparisons of TRI releases and transfers for each
of the six New England states. Massachusetts accounts for the largest amount of
chemical releases and transfers followed by Connecticut and Maine.
Air releases are broken down into "stack" (emissions from one or more smoke-
stacks) and "fugitive" (other emissions such as vents or equipment leaks). Total air
releases are a combination of both stack and fugitive emissions.
States differ not only in the amount of chemicals released, but also in where
those releases go. New Hampshire and Maine, for example, have a relatively high
percentage of chemical releases to air because of the paper industries in those states.
Connecticut and Massachusetts show relatively large amounts of waste transferred
off-site. Massachusetts also has a large amount of waste discharged into POTWs
(publicly owned treatment plants such as the MWRA's plant which treats the wastewa-
ter for greater Boston).

One way to analyze the TRI data is to look at specific chemicals or chemical
categories. Figure 3 shows the top 10 chemicals for New England broken down by the
media they are released to. 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), a solvent used for
precision cleaning and degreasing, is the chemical released in the greatest quantity in
New England with the majority of it going into the air. Other commonly used solvents
such as toluene, dichloromethane, and methyl ethyl ketone, are also on the top 10 list.
Figure 3 also shows the number of facilities reporting those chemical releases. In
some cases, large releases are due to a large number of reporting facilities. In other
cases, a small number of large facilities account for the releases.
As discussed on page 11, there are wide differences in the toxicity of these chemi-
cals and the health risks that they present. Each chemical and facility needs to be
considered separately when interpreting this information from a health persepctive.
Some chemicals are of concern because of risks to the global environment. For
example, freon-113 and 111-trichloroethane are contributors to the depletion of strato-
spheric ozone which protects the earth from ultraviolet radiation. Because of this ozone
depleting potential, the new Clean Air Act bans production of both of these chemicals
after the year 2000.
The TRI list now includes 302 individual chemicals and 20 categories of chemical
compounds. Categories of chemicals include closely related chemicals such as lead
compounds, mercury compounds, and certain organic compounds. The list of report-
able chemicals has changed since the first year of reporting with five chemicals deleted
from the list. One of these, sodium sulfate, accounted for a large share of the TRI data
when it was originally released. The data in this report includes only those chemicals
that were reportable in 1988, and when comparisons are made with 1987 they include
only that same set of chemicals. Other chemicals have also been added to the TRI list
and will be reportable in future years.

Although there are over 300 chemicals and chemical categories reportable In the
TRI, a small number of those chemicals represent the greatest amount of chemical
releases. Figure 4 indicates this by showing the percent of total releases and transfers
due to Individual chemicals. The top 10 chemicals represent over 60% of the reported
releases and transfers in New England and the top 20 chemicals represent over 80% of
releases and transfers. A total of 151 chemicals are reported In the TRI for New Eng-
land, Those that are not reported are either used in very small quantities for specialty
purposes, or are not manufactured at ail.

TRI chemicals pose
different risks
based on both
toxicity and
exposure.
The most difficult questions to answer about TRI data concern the health risks that
they could cause. All of the TRI chemicals are on the list because of their potential to
cause adverse health effects. However, these chemicals vary greatly in their toxicity, and
risks from any particular facility will depend on a whole range of factors including
proximity to affected populations and the duration and type of releases.
Table 4 provides a grouping of the top 25 chemicals into high, medium, and low
categories based on the size of the release and toxicity of the chemical. Each chemical
has been given a score of 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) in four health effects categories:
o Acute effects occur after either a one time or short term exposure to unusually
high concentrations of a chemical. The adverse effect may be a structural, functional,
behavioral, or biochemical change.
o Chronic effects are associated with repeated exposure to a chemical. Effects
may become apparent some time past the initial exposure,
o Carcinogenictty is the property of being able to cause malignant or non-
malignant tumor formation in humans or experimental animals.
o Reproductive effects are adverse effects on the male or female reproductive
system or on the developing organism. These effects may be either acute or chronic.
Additional information regarding the evaluation of the health effects of TRI releases
is provided in EPA's Risk Screening Guide (EPA 560/2-89-002) which is available from
EPA or the Government Printing Office.
Although detailed
risk assessments
are not possible
with TRI data, it is
possible to do risk

TRI chemicals can
be grouped into
similar categories
according to their
physical/chemical
properties.
Many TRI Chemicals can be grouped into similar categories based on their
chemical properties. Table 5 shows total releases and transfers in the Region for five
broad classes of chemicals.
o Acids/Bases/Salts make up about 16% of TRI releases and transfers, most of it
going to POTWs (sewage treatment plants). In this category, sulfuric acid and
nitric acid were the chemicals with the largest releases.
o Halogens, organic chemicals that contain chlorine, bromine, fluorine, or iodine,
represent about 28% of TRI releases and transfers. This diverse group includes
some of the most commonly used chemicals (such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane
and freon-113). These are primarily released into the air.
o Metals and metallic compounds represent about 6% of the total releases.
Transfers account for the greatest amount of releases, most of which went to
on-site land disposal, POTW discharges, or were shipped off-site to treatment
and disposal facilities.
o Inorganics. Non-metallic inorganics account for 5% of releases and transfers.
This category includes such chemicals as ammonia, chlorine, and asbestos.
Most of these chemicals were released into the air.
o Organics, which includes the largest amount of TRI chemicals (45%), can be
classified as non-halogenated organic compounds: organics that do not
contain any of the four halogens listed above. The top organics, most of which
went to air, were methanol, toluene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and xylene.

One of the main values of the TRI Is that it allows a user to make comparisons
about chemical releases among types of industries and facilities. These comparisons
can show which industrial types are the most significant in a given area, which facilities
are performing better or worse than similar facilities elsewhere, and even which parent
companies are responsible for the largest chemical releases from their subsidiary
facilities.
Industrial types are grouped together using 4 digit Standard Industrial Classifica-
tion (SIC) codes. As stated in the introduction, the TRI includes only manufacturers
which have SIC codes that start with 20 through 39. Using these two digit SIC codes to
group similar industries, Figure 5 shows which industrial types are responsible for the
greatest amount of releases and transfers in New England. The totals are subdivided by
the type of release.
The chemical manufacturing industry (SIC 28) accounts for the greatest total
release of TRI chemicals in New England. Most of this waste consists of off-site transfers
to waste treatment facilities. The chemical industry also has the largest amount of water
releases.
Pulp and paper mills and related manufacturers (SIC 26) are the second largest
contributor, and the largest source of air releases in the Region. Manufacturers of
electrical equipment (SIC 36) which includes much of the "high-tech" industry, is the
third largest source category, and the second largest source of air releases.
The chemical,
paper, and
electrical industries
are the top three
industrial types for
New England.

One powerful feature of the TRI database is that it allows a user to look at chemi-
cal releases and transfers not only from one facility, but also from parent companies.
Many companies own a large number of facilities throughout the Region and, in some
cases, throughout the country. Using TRI, it is possible to get information on the total
releases of TRI chemicals from these parent companies and to make comparisons
among their facilities.
Table 6 shows the top 10 parent companies for New England ranked by their total
1988 releases and transfers of TRI chemicals. In addition to total releases and transfers
for 1988, Table 6 also shows the number of facilities the company owns in New Eng-
land, their 1988 on-slte environmental releases, and their total releases and transfers for
1987. The difference between the on-site and total release figures includes discharges
to POTWs (wastewater treatment plants) or transfers to off-site waste treatment and
disposal facilities.
There are a number of significant differences among these companies. Some own
a large number of facilities, while others own only a few. For some companies, most of
their total releases consist of on-site environmental releases. For others, on-site re-
leases are small in comparison to their discharges to POTWs or shipments of waste off-
site. In addition, as shown by the comparison between 1987 and 1988 figures, a number
of companies have made significant reductions in their releases.
Information on specific facilities is provided in the top 10 facility lists for each state
that are included in the state sections beginning on page 25.

Emissions into the air account for about half of the TRI chemical releases in New
England. Almost 86 million pounds of toxic chemicals are reported as air releases. As
shown in Figure 6, about a third of these air releases are reported as fugitive emissions
which include emissions from vents, equipment leaks, and sources other than smoke-
stacks.
Most of these air releases are lawful, permitted, emissions that occur as a result of
a wide variety of manufacturing processes. As shown in Table 7, many of these chemi-
cals are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to the formation of ground
level ozone, or smog. Other chemicals have different effects such as Freon 113 which
has been targeted for elimination because of its role in depleting the protective strato-
spheric ozone layer.
In 1990, the new Clean Air Act Amendments became law. These amendments were
the first comprehensive overhaul of the Clean Air Act in many years, and its provisions
will have an effect on every facility that uses these chemicals. Many will be required to
install new technologies to control these emissions either because the chemicals
contribute to smog formation or because of their potential to cause direct adverse health
effects. Other facilities will need to look for new processes to replace chemicals that are
being phased out.
OVERVIEW Of
About half of the
total releases/
transfers go into the
air.
Both fugitive and
stack emissions are
reported.
The new Clean Air
Act will require new
controls on many
facilities.

land contributing over 16 million pounds of stack and fugitive emissions. Major chemi-
cals released by this group include chlorine, chloroform, and VOCs such as toluene.
Table 7 shows the top 10 chemicals released into the air in 1987 and 1988, as well
as the number of facilities reporting those releases. There was a decrease in reported
emissions of many chemicals even though the number of reporting facilities increased.

OVERVIEW OF
RELEASES
The chemical
industry released
the largest amount
of chemicals to
water.
Figure 8 compares the amounts of TRI chemicals released to water by different in-
dustries. Release to water includes surface water discharge to receiving streams or wa-
terbodies. and stormwater runoff. Chemicals released to water accounted for only 5%
of the total TRI releases and transfers reported in New England in 1988. Less than 2%
of all Form R's submitted reported releases to water.
The chemical industry, (SIC 28), reported 72% of the total releases to water. All
releases reported by the chemical industry were to receiving streams and water bodies.
Among these receiving streams and waterbodies was the Quinnepiac River in Connecti-
cut to which UpJohn Co., Fine Chemical Division, and American Cyanamid Co. re-
leased over 750,000 pounds of toxic chemicals. The largest release to a receiving
stream or water body by the chemical industry was a release of 3,720,955 pounds of
methanol to the Thames River in Connecticut reported by Pfizer, Inc., Groton Site.
Other receiving streams and waterbodies that the chemical industry released significant
amounts of chemicals to include the Merrimack River in New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts, the Penobscot River and Bay in Maine, Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, and
Muddy Cove Brook in Massachusetts.
Industry reporting in New England was consistent with nationwide reporting in
which the chemical industry accounted for 63% of the total discharge to surface waters.
Ninety-nine percent of all TRI chemical discharges to surface waters nationwide
are permitted by the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). These
permits are issued to individual facilities under authority of the Clean Water Act by EPA
or state environmental agencies to control discharges of chemicals to surface waters.
TRI data can be cross checked with NPDES permits to insure that facilities are permit-
ted, and are not violating permit conditions.

Table 8 illustrates the top ten chemicals discharged to surface waters in New
England. The top ten chemicals represent 94% of all TRI chemicals discharged to water
in 1988. Methanol was released in by far the largest amounts of any chemical. Metha-
nol is widely used in the chemical industry as a solvent, chemical intermediate, and in
preparation of stains, enamels, plastics and films.
POTWs are owned and operated by either a city or a district made up of several
cities and towns to treat and monitor sewage before it is discharged to surface waters.
Facilities discharging toxic chemicals to POTWs are subject to federal, state, and local
regulations, as are the POTWs themselves. The National Pretreatment Program, devel-
oped under the dean Water Act, regulates industrial discharges by requiring industries
to treat their waste before sending it to a POTW, and prohibiting discharges, such as
those with a high Ph, which would interfere with POTW operations. The National
Pretreatment Program also issues categorical standards regulating the level of certain
pollutants that industries can discharge to POTWs.
TRI Data indicates only the amounts of chemicals facilities estimate they release to
POTWs. It does not indicate the degree of treatment chemicals receive, or what portion
of them are then released to air, land or surface waters.
The top ten chemicals released to POTWs represent 85% of the total amount of
chemicals released to POTWs in New England in 1988. Nationwide, sulfuric acid was
reported more often than any other chemical. 8% of all TRI forms reported were for
sulfuric ackJ. Sulfuric acid is largely used to neutralize waste streams to insure that they
are at the proper Ph for release to POTWs.

TRI releases to land include:
- On-site landfills,
- Land treatment/application farming,
- surface impoundment, including holding, settling, storage, elevation pits, ponds
and lagoons,
- and "other* disposal, including spills or leaks of TRI chemicals.
In New England, most releases to land were to on-site landfills, accounting for 65%
of all land releases in 1988. "Other* disposal accounted for 23% of all releases, surface
impoundment accounted for 12% of all releases, and land treatment accounted for less
than 1% of all land releases.
Consistent with nationwide reporting, the primary metals industry was the industry
which accounted for the largest pecentage (41%) of land releases in New England.
Waste treatment technology used by this industry results in a sludge which is disposed
of by release to land. The paper industry also contributed a large percentage (33%) of
land releases reported in New England. The majority of releases reported by the paper
industry were to on-site landfills.
The chemical industry was ranked third among the top ten industries, contributing
approximately 18% of the total releases reported to land.

Releases to land was by far the smallest category of TRI total release/transfers
reported in New England. Land release accounted for only 2% of the TRI total reported
in 1988. Less than 1% of all Form R's submitted in 1988 reported releases to land.
The top ten chemicals released to land accounted for 98% of all TRI chemicals
released to land in 1988.
Methanol was ranked first among all chemicals released to land, accounting for
31 % of the total. Methanol was reported by 147 facilities, but only 5 of these reported
this chemical as released to land. Four of these 5 facilities were in the paper industry.
All five facilities reported these releases as releases to on-site landfills.
Metals and metal compounds accounted for 28% of all TRI chemicals released to
land in New England. Copper and copper compounds were the most commonly
reported chemicals with 13 facilities reporting copper released to land. Five of these
facilities reported releases to on-site landfills, 2 reported releases to surface impound-
ments, and 4 reported releases as "other" disposal. The majority of facilities reporting
copper and copper compounds released to land were in the primary metals industry.
Releases to land increased by 1310% in 1988 compared to 1987, mainly as a result
of a large increase in chromium and chromium compounds. The increase was due to
the reporting of one company, Carpenter Technology Corp. of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
This company went out of business in 1988, and reported all of its chromium inventory
as waste released to land.

Off-site transfer includes transfers of chemicals to locations other than the facility
at which it was generated. Off-site transfer does not include transfer to locations to
which wastes are sold or sent for recovery, recycling, or reuse.
Transfers off-site was the 2nd largest category of releases for the New England
States, accounting for 28% of all TRI releases reported in 1988.
Massachusetts transferred the most waste out of state, sending over 18 million
pounds of TRI chemical waste to other states. Over 8 million pounds of this waste was
sent to New York, over 5 million pounds was sent to Connecticut, and over 1.5 million
pounds was sent to New Jersey. The state of Connecticut ranked second, sending over
11 million pounds of waste out of state.
In total, New England states shipped over 20 million pounds of waste out of the
region, and accepted slightly over 1 million pounds of waste into the region from
outside locations. The majority of New England waste was sent to New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania, but waste was also sent to 17 other states, and was shipped
to states as far away as California.
This data illustrates the need for New England facilities to implement source re-
duction, as shipping New England's waste to other states is a practice which is quickly
becoming unacceptable to the rest of the country.

OVERVIEWOF
STATE
The following Sections of this Report are devoted to a more detailed look at each
of the six New England states. States vary significantly in the types of chemicals re-
leased and the types of industries causing those releases. In Maine, for example, the
pulp and paper industry is the largest contributor to the TRI releases while in Connecti-
cut chemical manufacturing is a significant contributor. The state sections provide an
overview of the chemicals released, the types of industries releasing them, the top 10
facilities in each state, and other information.
State programs have several important responsibilities under the Emergency
Planning and Community Right to Know Act. As noted in the Introduction, each state
receives a copy of the TRI forms that industry flies with EPA, and some states have
developed their own, state specific, database with that information. States have respon-
sibilities under other provisions of EPCRA concerning emergency planning, including
the creation of State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs) to oversee the
chemical emergency planning process.
Local agencies also have responsibilities under EPCRA such as development of
local emergency plans by Local Emergency Planning Commissions (LEPCs). Both
SERCs and LEPCs receive additional information under EPCRA including inventories of
chemicals that industries store on-site.
Some states have responded to the TRI information by creating pollution preven-
tion or toxics use reduction programs that are focused, at least in part, on TRI reporting
facilities. Currently, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont have toxics use reduction laws
of some type. These and other states also have technical assistance programs which
encourages pollution prevention by providing information and assistance to targeted
groups.

Connecticut Is divided into eight counties, four of which are located along the
coast and include the major industrial and population centers. One of these, New
Haven county, ranks first with 122 facilities releasing or transferring over 16 million
pounds of toxics in 1988. New London, Fairfield and Hartford counties also account for
a large percentage of the state's emissions.
In contrast, the two rural counties of Windham and Middlesex had 17 and 16
facilities respectively, which released less than the average per facility for the state.
These facilities were small to medium size and many were reporting for the first time in
1988 due to the reduced reporting threshold.
Connecticut is a very small state (ranking 48th in area) but had 421 facilities
submit 1,395 form R's in 1988. As shown in Table 14, this represented about a 7%
increase in forms and a 10% increase in facilities over 1987 reporting, which is consis-
tent with the national trend. This increased reporting was attributable to the decreased
reporting threshold of 50,000 pounds for manufacturing and processing. On average,
each facility reported on three to four chemicals which is also comparable to the
national reporting rate.
Based on the total releases and transfers of toxic chemicals, Connecticut ranks
30th in the nation and second to Massachusetts in New England. Connecticuts indus-
tries emitted 44% of their total releases and transfers of toxic chemicals to the air, which
was the trend across the nation, (see Figure 12) The next largest category was off-site
transfer of toxic waste. Connecticut's facilities transferred 33% of their waste off-site to
waste treatment facilities as compared to the national average of 19%. This was a total
of over 17 million pounds of toxic waste. Over 6 million pounds, or 38% of this waste
was transferred to locations in Connecticut. The remaining waste was shipped out of
state and 50% of the total was shipped out of New England. Over 3 million pounds of
waste was shipped to Pennsylvania, and over 2 million pounds was shipped to both
Massachusetts and New Jersey. Other states receiving significant amounts of waste
from Connecticut include New York, California, and Illinois.
In contrast to the national distribution of toxics, no releases were reported to
underground injection in Connecticut (or any other state in New England). Transfer to
surface water bodies such as rivers and oceans was over double the national rate (13%
vs 6%) which is not unexpected due to the abundance of surface waters in this region,
and the many chemical manufacturing facilities reporting. The chemical industry
nationwide contributed a large part of the discharges to surface water.

With limited land disposal sites and very strict permitting, Connecticut's 3% land
discharge is one third the national rate.
The discharge to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs or municipal sewage
systems) was substantially less than the national rate. These differences are attributable
to the various state and local regulations and permits which severely limit the disposal of
chemical waste via the POTW. The estimated discharge to the POTWs were largely
based on monitoring data which is required as a condition of their permits.
Connecticut ranked second only to Massachusetts in New England in number of
facilities and total releases and transfers, (Table 15). Connecticut is the home of three
parent companies that were among the top ten emitting companies in New England.
Pfizer, a major pharmaceutical manufacturing company based in Connecticut, was the
largest emitter in New England in 1988. The Pfizer Groton Site facility reported for 28
different chemicals. This facility reported over 8 million pounds of total releases/
transfers accounting for 15% of the Connecticut total. 70% of the total for this facility
were releases to the environment, with the majority being surface water discharges.
This facility accounted for 70% of all discharges to surface water reported in Connecticut
in 1988.

Since Connecticut is the home of several chemical and plastic companies, it is not
surprising to find several chlorinated hydrocarbons in the top emitted chemicals (See
Figure 13). The large number of facilities in the primary and fabricated metals categories
utilized large quantities of organic and halogenated organics. Eight of these volatile
organic chemicals were in the top ten chemicals for Connecticut and the nation. A large
percentage of these volatile chemicals are relased as air emissions where they contrib-
ute to smog formation. Much of it is also disposed of off-site as hazardous waste.
In addition to these facilities, the transportation industries used great quantities of
acids (sulfuric and nitric acids) and organic solvents for cleaning and degreasing metal
parts and materials. These acids, in their neutralized and acidic state, are commonly
discharged to surface waters and POTWs and were in the top ten chemicals in New
England and the nation.
The metals, transportation, and electric/electronic industries released millions of
pounds of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform) and freon 113 into the air while
cleaning and degreasing their products. Connecticut ranked number 2 nationally in the
release and transfer of 1,1,1 -trichloroethane. These chemical cleaners have received
international attention due to their ability to destroy ozone in the stratosphere and
remain active in the stratosphere for years.
The destruction of ozone allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the surface of
the earth and cause skin cancer. Freon 113, a chlorofluorocarbon, and methyl chloro-
form, are being phased out according to the Montreal Protocol and the amendments to
the Clean Air Act. In addition to the concerns about these two chemicals, seven of the
top ten chemicals have a moderate or high toxicity rating due to environmental or
health issues.

Figure 14 shows TRI releases and transfers broken down by SIC code. Even
though Connecticut is relatively small, it is highly populated and quite industrialized with
over 6,000 manufacturing facilities. The leading industrial groups include transporta-
tion, machinery, electrical and electronic manufacturing companies.
As stated above, several large and many smaller chemical and plastic related
facilities are located In Connecticut. Four large chemical companies (SIC 28), out of the
55 companies reporting in this SIC category, accounted for over eighty percent of the
total releases and transfers for that category, the largest source of chemical releases in
the state.
The second and fourth largest contributing industries were the fabricated and
primary metals companies. Twenty-one facilities reported in the transportation indus-
trial classification which was the third largest SIC category in total releases and trans-
fers. These three SIC categories (SICs 34, 33 & 37) otherwise used large quantities of
cleaners/degreasers (halogenated organic solvents) and acids (sulfuric, nitric and
hydrochloric acids). They were major emitters to the air, surface waters, and POTWs.
The chemical companies and the transportation and metals industries released
over fifty percent of their total releases and transfers to the atmosphere as fugitive or
stack emissions. The electric and electronic industries also otherwise used large
quantities of freon 113 and 1,1,1 -trichloroethane for cleaning their circuit boards and
electric parts. These chemicals were routinely released into the air and placed these
industries (SIC 36 & 34) in the top ten as seen in the above bar graph.

Four out of the top five facilities are major national or international chemical
companies with releases and transfers in the millions of pounds per year. The presence
of these four companies is not unexpected since they are chemical manufacturers and
processors of several toxic chemicals. Some of these facilities have initiated pollution
prevention or toxics use reduction programs to reduce their reliance on toxic chemicals
or are implementing toxics control technology. As seen by the decreases over 1987 TRI
releases, these facilities still have substantial releases to control or eliminate.
Three of the top ten facilities are involved in metal related manufacturing. Pratt
and Whitney Corporation has several facilities throughout Connecticut and placed two
facilities, located in North Haven and East Hartford, in the top ten (4th & 7th). In the
treatment and processing of metals, large quantities of acids and solvents (cleaners,
degreasers and paint carriers) are otherwise used in addition to the toxic chemicals
found in the'metal alloys. These facilities reported decreases of 49% and 74% respec-
tively from 1987 to 1989. largely due to their pollution prevention programs.

Maine facilities
averaged the
highest total R/T
per facility in New
England.
In Maine, nine out of the sixteen counties border the coast and include the many
islands along the coast. The top three counties for total releases and transfer of toxic
chemicals are located in northern Maine and are the home of the major pulp and paper
companies. Androscoggin County, number four in releases and transfer, encompasses
the Androscoggin River Valley which was originally settled and developed because of
the water power. Several manufacturing facilities occupy the original mill and factory
sites along the river. The Lewiston/Auburn, twin cities, is the location of several of these
facilities. Likewise, York and Cumberland counties are located in the southern third of
Maine and are home for over two thirds of Maine's population. These counties, which
include Maine's largest city of Portland, account for over one fourth of all of Maine's
facilities.
In contrast, Washington County, ranking third, had only one facility, a paper
company, that released over 3 million pounds of chemicals to the environment. The
majority of these chemicals were emitted to the air, nineteen times the nationwide
average per facility. Except for the Cumberland facilities, the facilities in the top eight
counties exceeded the average Maine facility releases four times (722,959 Ibs vs
179.361 Ibs).

Maine is the largest state in New England and ranks 39th in area in the U.S. but
had only 101 facilities submitting 362 Form R's. The increase of 12 facilities over 1987
represents over twice the national average. Each facility averages approximately four
Form R's (the national average). Maine expects an even greater reporting increase for
1989 due to their recent Toxics Use Reduction Law and increased state/federal out-
reach to industry.
Maine ranks 41 st in the nation for total releases and transfer of toxic chemicals
and third in New England. Because of the low number of facilities reporting in Maine
and the few very large paper and pulp companies, Maine is number one in New Eng-
land for average total release and transfer per facility. Nationwide, Maine ranks 24th
with Connecticut next at 43 for next nearest New England State.

Maine industries emitted 75% of their toxics into the air which greatly exceeds the
national rate. Likewise, Maine facilities released 12% of their waste into their publicly
owned treatment works as compared to the national average of 9%. Thus, the facility
releases to land and water and transfers offsite were substantially lower than the national
average. In comparison to other New England States, Maine released a greater per-
centage of Its total R/T to air.
Even though Maine has many miles of coastline, lakes and rivers, their discharges
to these surface water bodies are less than the national and New England averages.
Maine's rate of discharge to POTWs is also lower than the New England average. The
rate of release to water and discharge to POTWs is lower due to the type and location of
the major industries in Maine. The pulp and paper and leather industries do not produce
substantial quantities of aqueous wastes.
Finally, Maine has passed stringent laws and regulations to revitalize and restore
their waterways. The paper industries are required to operate their own secondary
treatment plant on site. The leather industries, which are the largest contributors to
surface water, are permitted for such discharges which must be routinely monitored.
A large percentage
of Maine's total R/T
was reported as

Chemicals
The paper and pulp industries (SIC 26) contribute heavily to eight of the top ten
chemicals. Chlorine, a bleaching agent for the paper and pulp industry, ranks at 13
nationally for 1988, up 3 places from number 16 in 1987. In Maine, chlorine was number
one with approximately 2.9 million pounds released almost entirely to the air. Chlorine
dioxide Is produced at the facility and used as a bleaching agent. Sulfuric acid, metha-
nol, acetone and chloroform, are all by-products manufactured in the processing of
paper and pulp. Except for sulfuric acid, which is primarily discharged to POTW, the
other three chemicals are chiefly emitted to the air.
The leather industry (SIC 31) contributes large quantities of four of the top chemi-
cals (1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone, 2-methoxyethanol, and toluene). These chemicals
are very volatile and were released directly to the air. In the manufacturing process,
they were otherwise used primarily as a manufacturing acid, such as solvent for glues
and stains or to treat the leather for flexibility.
In 1990 Maine passed chapter 929, An Act to Clean the Environment by the
Reduction of Toxics Use, Waste and Release. Administered by the Maine DEP, the
regulated universe affected by this law includes any facility required to report under
SARA Title III, Section 313, facilities required to report extremely hazardous substances
under SARA Title III, Section 312, and generators of more than 300 kg of hazardous
waste per year.
The goals of this law are to reduce the volume of toxic substances used, toxics
released, and hazardous waste generated per facility by 10% by 1993,20% by 1995,
and 30% by 1997. The law requires facility planning at the production process level,
and requires annual reports that state progress of the facility In meeting the mandated
goal.

thirds of the state. Maine is famous for Its pine forests, potatoes and lobsters. The
paper/pulp and leather industries (SICs 26 & 31) account for 68% of Maine's total
releases and transfers. The food industry, which is not toxic chemical dependent,
contributed less than one half percent.
The paper and pulp industry, SIC 26, is a major TRI emitter. The seventeen
facilities contribute 46.5% of all Maine's emissions. The paper and pulp companies are
chemical Intensive due to the processing and manufacturing of paper goods. The
release of these chemicals are primarily to the air (87.6%). The disproportionate contri-
bution of this one industry accounts for six of the top ten chemicals. Nationally, the
paper and pulp industry is ranked 4th in total releases and transfers with over 370 million
pounds. Maine's paper and pulp industry is seventh nationwide for total releases and
transfers in SIC 26.
The leather industries placed Maine as number two in the nation in SIC 31 for its
total releases and transfers. The twelve facilities are located in the lower third of Maine
in the more heavily populated urban area. Historically, they were located on rivers to
capture the water power. They contribute 21.4% of the total release and transfer.
Almost 40% of the TRI waste are discharged to the publicly owned treatment works by
the leather industries. Their only environmental releases are directly to the air (58%).
Nationally, the leather industry (SIC 31) ranks as 17th with 37.8 million pounds.
Not surprisingly, six out of the top ten facilities are in the paper and pulp group
(SIC 26). Georgia-Pacific, a paper and pulp company, is the number one facility with
over 3.4 million pounds. Companies three through seven are also paper and pulp
facilities. The number two facility is a leather company with over 3 million pounds of
emissions; mostly to the air and POTW. The top two facilities account for 29.6% of
Maine's total releases and transfers.
The pulp and paper
industry accounted
for almost 50% of
the TRI total in
Maine.

Top Ten Maine
Facilities
The list of the top ten TRI facilities in Maine is dominated by the pulp and paper
and leather industries. The top ten facilities account for 69% of total releases and 10%
of the facilities reporting.
Georgia Pacific Corporation, a pulp and paper facility located in Woodland, is the
only facility in Washington County and is the top emitting facility in Maine. This TRI R/T
placed their parent company, Georgia-Pacific, eighth on the top ten list for New Eng-
land for 1988. The total R/T for this facility accounted for 11 % of the Maine total. 1989
reporting showed a decrease of 23% over 1987 data. Georgia-Pacific reported for 8
different chemicals and chemical categories in 1987 and 88, and 9 different ones in
1989. Greater than 98% of total R/T reported by this facility were reported as environ-
mental releases to air and water each year.
Seven of the top ten facilities reported a decrease in total R/T from 1987 to 1989.
The average decrease was 30%. Irving Tanning Company, a leather facility ranked
second in 1988, reported the largest decrease. The reported decrease of 77% dropped
this facility out of the list of top ten facilities for 1989. Irving Tanning reported for 8
chemicals in 1987 and 1989.
Three facilities reported an increase in their 1989 total R/T. The largest increase
was reported by the second-ranked Prime Tanning Co., Inc. of Berwick, which reported
an 85% increase in total R/T.

Massachusetts was ranked first in total TRI releases out of the six New England
states in 1988. Massachusetts is divided into fourteen counties, eight of which border
on the ocean. Two counties, Dukes and Nantucket, each made up of small islands, did
not have any facilities reporting to the TRI database. Five of the Massachusetts coun-
ties, Middlesex, Hampden, Worcester, Essex and Bristol, accounted for 84% of total TRI
releases and transfers, and 78% of all facilities reporting.
Massachusetts manufacturing is centered around the Boston, Worcester and
Springfield areas, as represented by the top three ranked counties, Middlesex, Worc-
ester, and Hampden. Middlesex county reported the largest number of releases, (22%),
and facilities reporting, (24%). This county is located in the northeast part of the state,
which includes the route 128 manufacturing and high technology belt.

facilities filing, but a
decrease in total
Ft/Tin 1988.
Hampshire County, located in the western, rural part of the state, represented 7%
of all releases although it had only 3% of all facilities reporting, due to the contribution
from large pulp and paper processing facilities in that area. Bristol County, in Southeast-
em Massachusetts, accounted for 14% of all facilities and 10% of all releases. The
jewelry plating industry, which consists of small facilities with small releases, is concen-
trated in this area of the state.
Due to the distribution of industry in the state, the percentage of total releases to
the environment varied greatly from county to county. Over all, 42% of the TRI re-
leases/transfers in Massachusetts were environmental releases to air, land or water as
opposed to transfers offsite and to POTWs. Hampden County, located in the south
central part of the state bordering on Connecticut reported only 15 % of its releases as
environmental releases to air, water or land. 85% of all reported releases/transfers were
off site transfers. In Plymouth County, located in the southeastern part of the state, 84%
of all releases were environmental releases.

Table 20 shows the number of Massachusetts facilities in the TRI database in 1987
and 1988. Massachusetts reported an 8% increase in facilities reporting due to the
lowering of the reporting threshold. Massachusetts facilities filed an average of 3
reports per facility which was less than the national average of 4 reports per facility.
Consistent with nationwide reporting, Massachusetts facilities showed a decrease of 9%
in combined releases/transfers in 1988.
In July of 1989, Massachusetts passed the first toxics use reduction law in the
country. The goal of the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) is to reduce hazardous
waste generated in Massachusetts by 50% by 1997 through toxics use reduction. The
Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for enforcing the Act, which
requires annual progress reports and facility planning at the production process level.
The Act created an Institute of Toxics Use Reduction at the University of Lowell and an
Office of Technical Assistance to conduct toxics use reduction research, education, and
outreach to the regulated community.

Of the top ten chemicals reported in Massachusetts, 8 were chemicals used in
solvents which are widely used by the chemical and electronics industries. These
chemicals are largely emitted to air or transferred off-site. These chemicals accounted
for approximately 42% of all Form R's submitted in Massachusetts.
Toluene was the chemical which was ranked number 1 in Massachusetts. Toluene
is widely used as an industrial solvent in paints, varnishes, glues, enamels, and lacquers
as well as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds. One
hundred and two facilities reported toluene, which was either emitted to air or trans-
ferred off-site.
Sulfuric acid was the most commonly reported chemical of the top ten, with 152
facilities reporting itThe majority of sulfuric acid is reported as transferred to POTWs.
Sulfuric acid is used by many facilities to neutralize waste before releasing it to POTWs.
Two of the top ten chemicals, 1,1,1 -trichloroethane and freon 113, are haloge-
nated organics (hydrocarbons) and are considered ozone depleting chemicals. These
chemicals account for 10% of the total releases/transfers and 11 % of the Form R's
submitted, and are emitted to air or transferred off-site.
Dichloromethane is also considered a carcinogen. This chemical accounted for
4% of the TRI total In Massachusetts, and was reported by 59 facilities. The majority of
this chemical was reported as emissions to air.

The leading industry groups in Massachusetts are the chemical, plastics, electronic
and paper industries. Consistent with national reporting, the industry ranked first in
Massachusetts in total releases/transfers was the chemical industry, reporting 29% of all
TRI releases/transfers. Releases in this industry are largely to POTWs and off-site trans-
fers.
The plastics industry was ranked second in total releases, and accounted for 20%
of all releases/transfers. The releases from this industry were fairly evenly distributed as
emissions to air and and transfers both off-site and to POTWs.
The third ranked industry was the electronics industry, which accounts for 16% of
all releases. The majority of releases reported by the electronics industry were emis-
sions to air, due to the use of volatile solvents in this industry. Smaller amounts of
chemicals were reported transferred off-site and to POTWs by this Industry.
The paper industry was ranked 4th in Massachusetts and accounted for 12% of
total releases/transfers. The paper industry in Massachusetts is varied, with many of the
facilities conducting paper coating operations or specializing in certain grades of paper.
The fabricated metals and instruments industries ranked a dose five and six, each
accounting for approximately 10% of the total releases/transfers. The remaining indus-

New Hampshire is divided into ten counties which range in size from 377 to 1,822
square miles for Stratford and Coos counties, respectively. Coos county, the northern
most county, ranked third in total TRI releases/transfers in 1988. This county accounted
for only 2% of the facilities reporting, but 14% of the TRI total, due to reports from three
paper and pulp facilities.

TRI: New England
83% of the total R/T

The four other counties, which make up the top five, are located in the southern
portion of New Hampshire. Hillsboro, Rockingham, Stratford and Merrimack counties
contain the major New Hampshire cities and population. These four counties had 103
facilities reporting (72% of the total facilities) and accounted for 72% of the total R/T
with each facility averaging 107,582 pounds per year versus 107,432 pounds per year
average for New Hampshire facilities. In contrast to these top counties, Coos county
facilities averaged over six times the state average with 702,522 pounds per year.
The other five counties had only 37 facilities reporting slightly over 2 million
pounds R/T for an average of 58,764 pounds per year. These 37 facilities represent
26% of the total facilities of this state but account for only 14% of the total R/T. These
facilities are small to medium size and located in less populated areas of New Hamp-
shire. Overall, New Hampshire ranks fourth in New England based on both number of
facilities and average R/T per facility. Based on total state R/T, New Hampshire ranks
fourth out of six just ahead of Rhode Island by about a million pounds. 83% of the TRI
total was reported released to air, land or water. 17% of the total was transferred off-site

New Hampshire is a relatively small state in area ranking 44th nationally and third
in New England with 9,304 square miles. Likewise, New Hampshire ranks fourth in
population density ahead of Maine and Vermont. The majority of its population concen-
trated in the southeastern counties which abut the Atlantic Ocean, Massachusetts and
Maine. These counties encompass the cities of Dover, Concord, Nashua, Exeter and
Manchester which are major population and industrial centers.
In contrast to the national and New England trends, New Hampshire received
fewer form Rs (-3.4%) in 1988 than in 1987. At the same time, as reflected in the
national trends, New Hampshire recorded seven more facilities (5%) reporting for 1988.
These facilities released or transferred only 15,367,775 pounds of toxic chemicals for
1988 down almost 4 million pounds from 1987. This represents a twenty percent
decrease for total R/T. The decreases in reports and total R/T may be due to the
delisting of chemicals and the downturn of the economy in New England. Several
manufacturing facilities have reported decreases in production or have filed for bank-
ruptcy.

The distribution of toxics to the environmental medias and transfers off-site re-
ported by New Hampshire facilities is quite different than the national or New England
patterns. Air was the number one media for release or transfer, typical of all reporting
throughout the United States, but over 77% of total releases/transfers were emitted as
either fugitive or stack releases. The national average in 1988 was a total of 39% of all
releases/transfers reported as emissions to air.
As a result of this reporting, releases to surface water, land, and transfers to
publicly owned treatment works were correspondingly low at 3% each. The national
average reported in 1988 was 5% of the total reported as discharges to surface waters,
9% reported as releases to land, and 9% reported as releases to POTWs.
Off-site transfers was ranked second in environmental distribution of TRI chemi-
cals. 14% of the total releases/transfers were reported as transferred off-site, to waste
treatment facilities, which was a total of over 2 million pounds. Only 6% of this waste
remained in New Hampshire. 40% of this waste was transferred to Massachusetts, 10%
was transferred to Connecticut, and the remainder was shipped out of the region. Other
states who received significant amounts of toxic waste from New Hampshire include
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

Two of the top ten
chemicals reported
in New Hampshire
are ozone depleting
chemicals.
Three halogenated organics (hydrocarbons), dichloromethane, 1,1,1-trichlore-
thane, and freon 113, are number 1,3 and 4 out of the top ten chemicals released in
New Hampshire. These three chemicals, as is true for the other top ten, were released
primarily to the air or transferred off-site for waste treatment and disposal. Four of the
top ten were organics (hydrocarbons) while the last two were inorganics. As reported
by Maine's paper and pulp industries, chlorine, chlorine dioxide and methanol are on
the top ten list due to New Hampshire paper industries. A large percentage of metha-
nol, which is produced as a by-product in pulp and paper treatment, was directly
discharged to the publicly owned treatment works (POTWs).
The halogenated and non-halogenated organics, in addition to chlorine and
chlorine dioxide, are quite volatile and are routinely emitted to the air. These organics
are employed are solvents and degreasers for metal, machinery, electrical and elec-
tronic industries which are heavily represented in New Hampshire. Both freon 113 and
1,1,1-trichiorethane are chloroflurocarbons, CFCs, which are being phased out under
the Montreal Protocol and the recent amendments to the Clean Air Act. The large
releases of dichloromethane, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone and xylene are of concern
due to their high risk ranking.

The leading industry groups in New Hampshire are machinery, electrical, electron-
ics and paper. The electrical, paper, fabricated metals and plastic/chemicals industries
released or transferred the greatest amounts of toxic chemicals. The electrical, (sic 36),
and paper, (sic 26), industries were ranked first and second, reporting more than 4
million and 3 million pounds of total releases/transfers respectively. The next three
groups in the top five were fabricated metals, (sic 34), chemicals, (sic 28), and plastic,
(sic 30), industries. These industries each released or tranferred over 2 million pounds
of TRI chemicals.The primary metals, (sic 33), machinery, (sic 35) and transportation (sic
37) industries each contributed approximately 1 million pounds in releases or transfers.
As in Maine, the pulp and paper industries (sic 26), disproportionately released or
transferred over four times the state average per facility. The eight pulp and paper
facilities reporting in New Hampshire released the majority of their chlorine, chlorine
dioxide, chloroform and methanol to the air. Most of these facilities are located in
remote forested section of northern New Hampshire. The four transportation facilities
that reported in this state contributed double the state facility average with their air
emissions or off site transfers. This industry used large quantities of organic solvents
and degreasers. The number one industry, electrical, emitted over 75% of their toxics to
air. The 34 facilities reporting under this sic code are heavily dependent on 1,1,1 -
trichloroethane and freon 113, halogenated organics, for cleaning and degreasing
electrical and electronic parts and circuit boards.
In contrast to the national trend, neither the chemical or plastics industries were
ranked first for total releases/transfers in New Hampshire. The totals of these industries
combined did not exceed the total releases/transfers of the electrical industries. 32
facilities (12/20) reported in the chemical/plastics industries. The chemical and plastics
industries reported on 31 and 27 different chemicals. These New Hampshire facilities
were small in comparison to the large facilities located in Connecticut. The number of
form Rs submitted per facility in New Hampshire was 2.7 as compared to the national
average of 4.0.
The majority of
releases of the top

Rhode Island is the smallest state in the nation with an area of just 1,212 square
miles. This state was ranked fifth out of the six New England states in total TRI releases/
transfers in 1988. Rhode Island is divided into 5 counties. Most of Rhode Island indus-
try is centered around the city of Providence. Providence County represents 71% of all
facilities and 61% of total releases/transfers reported in 1988. Kent County, the second
ranked county in Rhode Island, accounted for 16% of the total facilities and 23% of the
total releases reported. Bristol and Washington Counties are ranked a close third and
fourth in total releases/transfers, accounting for 7% and 6% of the total respectively.
Newport County accounted for only 3% of the total with 4 facilities reporting.
Overall, 55% of all releases/transfers reported in Rhode Island were environmental
releases to air, land or water. Due to the distribution of industry in Rhode Island this
average varied greatly from county to county. Kent County reported only 27% of total
releases/transfers as environmental, while Bristol County reported 99% of its releases as
environmental.

The top ten chemicals released in Rhode Island included chemicals used in
solvents or metals. The majority of solvent releases were to air, while metals were
transferred off-site.
The top three chemicals listed were organics commonly used in chemical manu-
facturing and as solvents and degreasing agents in the metals industries. Nationally
this category of chemical made up 34% of the TRI total. Acetone, the chemical ranked
first, accounted for 17% of the total releases/transfers. The majority of this chemical
was emitted to air. The second ranked chemical was toluene, accounting for 12% of
total releases/transfers, the majority of which was also emitted to air. The third ranked
chemical, methanol, accounted for 11 % of the total, the majority of which was reported
as tranferred to POTWs.
Rhode Island was the only New England state to report metals in its list of top ten
chemicals, due to the many fabricated metals businesses in the state. Copper, which
accounts for 3.5% of all releases is considered a carcinogen. The majority of the
copper reported in Rhode Island was transferred off-site.
One of the top ten chemicals reported, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, is a halogenated
organic (hydrocarbon) and is considered an ozone depleting chemical. This chemical
is ranked fifth in the state and accounts for 8% of the total releases/transfers. The
majority of this chemical was reported as being emitted to air.

Vermont is a rural state of 9,614 square miles. Among the New England states
Vermont ranked sixth in total TRI releases/transfers in 1988. Vermont ranks fifth in
population density, just ahead of Maine, but ranks sixth in release density, pounds of
chemical released to air, surface water or land per square mile.
Facilities reporting to TRI were spread out over all 12 counties in the state. Rut-
land, the county ranked first in total releases/transfers, accounted for only 12% of all
facilities and 18% of all releases/transfers reported. Chittendon county, which has the
largest number of facilities reporting, accounted for 20% of facilities and 7% of total
releases/transfers.
Environmental releases, which includes emissions to air, discharges to water and
release to land, averaged 70% of the total over all 12 counties. As in all the New Eng-
land states, the distribution of industry over the state caused this percentage to vary
greatly from county to county. Essex and Orleans counties reported 98% and 95% of
their total releases as environmental, while Windham county reported only 13% of its
total as environmental.

Two of the top ten TRI chemicals reported In Vermont, 1,1,1 -trlchloroethane and
freon 113, ranked number two and number five, are halogenated organlcs. These
chemicals accounted for 20% of the total releases/transfers reported in 1988.
Toluene was by far the chemical that accounted for the largest percentage of the
total TRI. 23% of all releases/transfers reported were toluene, the majority of which was
reported as air emissions. This chemical Is widely used In solvents In Vermont's furniture
Industry. Other organlcs on the list of top ten chemicals In Vermont Included xylene,
methanol, MEK, acetone and MIK. The majority of these chemicals were emitted to air.
Phosphoric acid was the only top ten chemical which was not emitted to air.
Ranked number six out of the top ten, all of the phosphoric acid reported In Vermont
was reported as discharged to surface water or transferred to POTWs.
In 1990 Vermont passed a pollution prevention law titled "An Act Relating to the
Management of Hazardous Waste". The objective of this law Is to safeguard public
health, promote worker health and safety, and protect the environment by establishing
toxic use reduction as the top priority for hazardous waste and toxics management.
This law Is Implemented by Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources. The law
requires facilities to develop plans which evaluate source reduction methods for each
waste stream In the facility. Annual reports are required which compare hazardous
waste generated during the current reporting year to that generated during a base year
In order to document toxics reduction progress.

APPENDIX C
OVERVIEW OF 33/50 PROGRAM
-------
Appendix C
The 33/50 Program
The 33/50 Program is EPA's voluntary pollution prevention
initiative to reduce national pollution releases and off-site
transfers of 17 toxic chemicals by 33 per cent by the end of 1992
and by 50 per cent by the end of 1995. EPA is asking companies
to examine their own industrial processes to identify and
implement cost-effective pollution prevention practices for these
chemicals. Company participation in the 33/50 Program is
completely voluntary. The Program aims, through voluntary
pollution prevention activities, to reduce releases and off-site
transfers of a targeted set of 17 chemicals from a national total
of 1.4 billion pounds in 1988 to 700 million pounds by 1995, a
50% overall reduction. The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) will
be used to track these reductions using 1988 data as a baseline.
As required by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, TRI
industrial reporting requirements will be expanded, beginning in
calendar year 1991, to include information on pollution
prevention.
EPA announced the 33/50 Program in February 1991 when EPA
Administrator William K. Reilly asked 600 U.S. companies to
reduce their releases of these 17 toxic chemicals. EPA contacted
these 600 companies first because TRI data indicated that these
companies were the largest dischargers to the environment of
these chemicals. EPA is also contacting thousands of additional
companies that release these 17 chemicals and requesting their
voluntary participation in the 33/50 program.
While EPA is seeking to reduce aggregate national environmental
releases of these 17 chemicals by 50 per cent by 1995, individual
companies are encouraged to develop their own reduction goals to
contribute to this national effort. EPA also encourages
companies to reduce releases of other TRI chemicals and to extend
these reductions to their facilities outside the United States.
EPA will periodically recognize those companies that commit to
reduce their releases and tranfers of the targetted chemicals,
and publicly recognize the pollution prevention successes
companies achieve.
For more information on the 33/50 Program contact Dwight Peavey
or Linda Darveau of the U.S. EPA Region I at (617) 565-4502.

TOXIC RELEASE
INVENTORY
(TRI)
What is the Toxic Release Inventory
(TRI)? The Emergency Planning and Community-Right-
To-Know Act (also known as the Title III of fce Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986) provides lor
the collection and public dissemination of Information about
tie release ol toxic chemicals into the nation's communities.
Section 313 applies to manufacturing facilities in Standard
Industrial Classification codes 20-39 with 10 or more lull-
time employees that manufacture, process, or use over 300
chemicals and 20 chemical categories above threshold
quantities established by law. Facilities are required to
report environmental releases of these chemicals to the
EPA and state environmental agendas annually. In 1987,
to first reporting year, over 77.000 reports (called Form
R's) were filed by 20.000 facilities.
Who can benefit from using the TRI?
The TRI may be of interest to a broad-based audience
Including manufacturers, environmental consulting firms,
trade associations, labor groups, health professionals, stale
and local environmental agencies, Local Emergency
Planning Committees, and other Federal agencies. Another
Important user group is concerned citizens who, on their
own or ttvough public interest groups, can use TRI to
answer questions about chemical releases hi tfwlr
communities.
How can I obtain access to the TRI?
To meet the needs of Ms Disparate user community, TRI
data Is released In a variety of formats. The TRI national
report, published by EPA annually, provides a detailed
analysis of TRI data at the national level. The TRI on
microfiche contains extensive indexing to allow for easy
examination of individual facility submissions. The most up-
to-date source for TRI data is fte National library of
Medicine's online TOXNET system. In addition, the TRI
data base is available on magnetic tape, CD-ROM, and on
floppy disks in either dBase or Lotus 1-2-3 format TRI
information products are available from tfte National
Technical Information Service (NTIS) and ttte U.S.
Government Printing Office. In many communities, the TRI
is available In one or more formats at a local library.
Who can I call for more information
abOUt the TRI? This pamphlet fiats several
resources hat are available to you for obtaining more
information about to TRI and assistance to meet your
