Important Information for Reporting Year 2003
Early Public Availability of 2003 TRI Reports. U.S. EPA is considering making the individual Reporting Year 2003 TRI
forms, as submitted by each facility, publicly available before the traditional annual Public Data Release. This is in response
to requests to make the TRI data publicly available earlier. This earlier availability would occur before EPA has completed
all the data quality checks, compilations, and trend analysis that are traditionally done as part of the annual Public Data
Release. For information on the annual Public DataRelease, and this possible early release of the individual 2003 TRI forms,
see the Agency's website .
The following information updates the Reporting Forms and Instructions for Reporting Year 2003 as well as highlights new
resources developed by EPA.
All references to reporting year 2002 and all other date related references have been changed to reflect the current reporting
year(i.e., reporting year 2002 has been changed to reporting year 2003; prioryear 2001 was changed to prioryear2002, etc.).
This change was made for the Form R, Form A Certification Statement, and the instructions.
EPA's mailing address for TRI submissions changed beginning in reporting year 2002. See page 6 for the current address.
Part II, Section 5.5.3-Surface Impoundments has been divided into 5.5.3A-RCRA Subtitle C Surface Impoundments and
5.5.SB-Other Surface Impoundments.
Part II, Section 8.1 has been divided into 8. la-Total on-site disposal to Class I Underground Injection Wells, RCRA Subtitle
C landfills, and other landfills, 8.1b-Total other on-site disposal or other releases, 8.1c-Total off-site disposal to Class I
Underground Injection Wells, RCRA Subtitle C landfills, and other landfills, and 8. Id-Total other off-site disposal or other
releases.
The M codes used in Column C of Section 6.2 of the Form R have been updated. M63 (Surface Impoundment) was deleted
and replaced by M codes M66 (RCRA Subtitle C Surface Impoundment) and M67 (Other Surface Impoundments). M71
(Underground Injection) was deleted and replaced by M codes M81 (Underground Injection to Class I Wells) and M82
(Underground Injection to Class II-V Wells).
The U codes used in Section 7B of the Form R have been updated. Code U09~Other Energy Recovery Methods, has
been deleted. This code is not applicable since the only energy recovery methods are combustion in a kiln, boiler or
industrial furnace. Combustion units other than kilns, boilers and industrial furnaces are used for treatment of the toxic
chemical (except for metal and metal compounds).
See the TRI Home page at for information regarding the decision in Barrick Goldstrike Mines Inc. v.
Whitman.
Appendix C, "Facility Data Profiles, and Common Errors in Completing Form R Reports and Form A Certifications" has
been updated.
The State and Regional contact lists have been updated (Appendices F and G).
The following information identifies changes to the TRI Reporting Software.
Included in this reporting package is a compact disk (CD) that contains the TRI-ME reporting software (Windows 98,
2000, XP and NT compatible), the EPCRA section 313 Questions and Answers document and addendum, as well as
several industry-specific and chemical-specific guidance documents. These documents are also available via the Internet
at .
EPA encourages you to use TRI-ME to submit reports electronically over the Internet via EPA's Central Data Exchange
(CDX). Previous reporters can submit electronically using TRI-ME without sending any paper to EPA. If you do not
choose to submit via the Internet, EPA encourages you to submit your report on diskette using TRI-ME.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions for RY2003
-------
Important Information for Reporting Year 2003
The TRI-ME RY 2003 "Load Data" functionality has been updated. TRI-ME RY 2003 allows you to save time by
loading data from files created by TRI-ME or third-party software. You may load current (RY 2003) data created by TRI-
ME or third-party software, or you may load data from RY 2002 to assist you in completing this year's forms.
The Form R has been changed for Reporting Year 2003. TRI-ME RY 2003 has been modified to support these changes.
Use of the ATRS was discontinued after Reporting Year 2001. ATRS 2001, however, may still be used to revise data for
reporting years 1987 to 2001.
The following information consists of updates to the Reporting Forms and Instructions from previous reporting years.
Starting with reporting year 2002, facilities can determine their latitude and longitude by using the TRI Facility Siting
Tool found on the TRI Home page. For more information about the siting tool see Appendix E.
Starting with reporting year 2001, lead and lead compounds are classified as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT)
chemicals. The reporting thresholds for lead and lead compounds, except when lead is contained in stainless steel, brass
or bronze alloys, have been lowered to 100 pounds. For specific guidance on the reporting of lead, see page 15.
Starting with reporting year 2001 the qualifier for isopropyl alcohol has been changed to match exactly the qualifier that
is listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, the new qualifier is "Only persons who manufacture by the strong acid
process are subject, no supplier notification." EPA believes that use of this qualifier will make it clearer that only
facilities that manufacture isopropyl alcohol by the strong acid process are subject to reporting (i.e., processors and users
of isopropyl alcohol are not subject to reporting).
A list of EPCRA section 313 industry-specific and chemical-specific guidance documents and information on ordering
these documents free of charge is provided on page vii.
Starting with reporting year 2000, new chemical activity threshold levels are set for persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic
(PBT) chemicals and chemical categories (Section B.4.e).

TRI Reporting Software
Toxics Release Inventory - Made Easy (TRI-ME) Software 2003
The TRI-ME 2003 software helps facilities in determining and completing their Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know (EPCRA) section 313 and Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) section 6607 obligations. TRI-ME is an interactive,
intelligent, user-friendly software tool that guides facilities through the TRI reporting experience. By leading prospective
reporters through a series of logically ordered questions, TRI-ME streamlines the analysis needed to determine if a user must
complete a Form R report or Form A Certification Statement for a particular chemical. For those facilities required to report,
the software provides the user with guidance for each data element on the reporting forms. Additionally, this software has a
one-stop guidance feature, the TRI Assistance Library that allows users to search the statute, regulations, and many EPCRA
section 313 guidance documents by key word. For the more experienced reporter, TRI-ME allows direct data entry onto
electronic versions of the Form R and Form A Certification Statement. TRI-ME will check the data for common errors and
then prepare the forms. All of the information contained in this RY2003 Reporting Forms and Instructions book is contained
within TRI-ME.
TRI-ME allows the user to submit the forms on paper, floppy disk, or electronically via an Internet connection. TRI-ME has
the ability to submit electronically over the Internet using EPA's Central Data Exchange without mailing any paper to EPA. In
past years, facilities had to submit a signed certification statement. Now facilities can certify their submissions electronically
without mailing any paper to EPA. After submission of data to EPA via CDX, a receipt is generated and sent via email to the
facility.
Toxics Release Inventory Assistance Library
The TRI Assistance Library is a searchable, indexed file that contains the statutes, the regulations, and most of the key
guidance documents a facility is likely to need for TRI reporting. The TRI Assistance Library is integrated into TRI-ME.
What Happened to the Automated TRI Reporting Software (ATRS)?
EPA is no longer producing new versions of ATRS. After Reporting Year 2001, EPA replaced ATRS with the TRI-ME
software. For Reporting Year 2003, facilities are encouraged to use the TRI-ME software. TRI-ME was distributed as a pilot
for Reporting Year 2000. In Reporting Year 2001, EPA distributed both TRI-ME and ATRS to all TRI reporting facilities.
Can I Use or Load Past Year's data into TRI-ME?
You may load prior year data from Reporting Year 2002 submission diskettes or from TRI-ME Reporting Year 2002 facility
files. With few exceptions, all of your prior year data will be loaded directly into the Reporting Year 2003 forms. To load
Reporting Year 2000 or 2001 data into TRI-ME 2003, you must first load your data into TRI-ME 2002.
Can I Use TRI-ME if I Have My Own TRI Software?
Some facilities have their own software or use private software to assist in preparing their TRI reports. This "third party
software" is often designed to produce output files that match EPA's Magnetic Media File Formats (sometimes called the TRI
18 flat files). These file formats can be found on the TRI Home page at . You may load these flat files
directly into TRI-ME and then use TRI-ME to check your forms for common errors. You can then also use TRI-ME to submit
the forms to U.S. EPA and your state.
What Are the Key Features of TRI-ME?
TRI-ME allows prior TRI reporters to submit electronically without the need to separately mail paper certification to
U.S. EPA.
An expert desk top software tool that guides facilities through the process of determining whether they must report
based on the SIC codes, number of employees and chemical threshold criteria.
Walks users through the process of preparing and submitting their forms. Many routine tasks associated with the
preparation and submission of the forms have been eliminated or streamlined.
Assists facilities in understanding each element of the Form R and Form A Certification Statement.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions v
-------
Allows expert users to bypass most of the detailed assistance and directly enter data into the forms.
Enables users to access and search the TRI Assistance Library to find additional guidance from EPA on how to report.
With TRI-ME there is often no need to obtain a paper version of an EPA TRI guidance document.
Contains extensive intelligence to prevent facilities from making common errors.
Alerts users to possible errors so they can double check their forms before submitting them.
Allows users to load their data from prior years.
Also enables facilities to submit their forms on a floppy disc or on traditional paper forms to U.S. EPA and their state.

Common Synonyms for Chemicals Listed Under
Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act
March 1995 (EPA 745-R-95-008)
This glossary contains chemical names and their
synonyms for substances covered by the reporting
requirements of EPCRA section 313. The glossary
was developed to aid in determining whether a facility
manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses a chemical
subject to EPCRA section 313 reporting.

Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions ix
-------
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice: The annual public burden related to the Form
R, which is approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0093, is estimated to average 30.2 hours
per response for non-PBT chemicals and 52.1 hours per response for PBT chemicals. The
annual public burden related to the Form A, which is approved under OMB Control No.
2070-0143, is estimated to average 20.6 hours for a facility that certifies one chemical per
Form A Certification Statement. Responding to this information collection requires 1)
determining whether a listed toxic chemical is eligible for certification under the alternate
threshold, and 2) completing the Form A Certification Statement. The burden of determining
eligibility for certification and associated recordkeeping is estimated to average 19.2 hours
for each chemical that is certified. The burden of completing the Form A Certification
Statement is estimated to average 1.4 hours, regardless of the number of chemicals being
certified. The total burden per response is the combination of these two, and will vary
depending on the number of listed toxic chemicals being certified.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust
the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The
OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter
15.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the
provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden,
including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection
Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW, Washington, D.C. 20460; and to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office
of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for EPA. Include the EPA ICR number and OMB control number in any
correspondence.
The completed forms should be submitted in accordance with the instructions
accompanying the form, or as specified in the corresponding regulation.

A. General Information
Reporting to the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (i.e., Toxics
Release Inventory (TRI)) is required by section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA, or Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986), Public Law 99-499. The
information contained in the Form R constitutes a "report," and
the submission of a report to the appropriate authorities
constitutes "reporting."
The Pollution Prevention Act, passed into law in October, 1990
(Pub. L. 101-508), added reporting requirements to Form R.
These requirements affect all facilities required to submit Form
R under section 313 of EPCRA. The data were required
beginning with reports for calendar year 1991.
Reporting is required to provide the public with information on
the releases and other waste management of EPCRA section 313
chemicals in their communities and to provide EPA with release
and other waste management information to assist the Agency
in determining the need for future regulations. Facilities must
report the quantities of routine and accidental releases, and
releases resulting from catastrophic or other one time events of
EPCRA section 313 chemicals, as well as the maximum amount
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical on-site during the calendar
year and the amount contained in wastes managed on-site or
transferred off-site.
A completed Form R or Form A must be submitted for each
EPCRA section 313 chemical manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used at each covered facility as described in the
reporting rules in 40 CFR Part 372 (originally published
February 16, 1988, in the Federal Register and November 30,
1994, in the Federal Register (for Form A)).
A.1 Who Must Report
Section 313 of EPCRA requires that reports be filed by owners
and operators of facilities that meet all of the following criteria.
The facility has 10 or more full-time employee equivalents
(i.e., a total of 20,000 hours or greater; see 40 CFR 372.3);
and
The facility is included in Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Codes 10 (except 1011, 1081, and
1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39,4911 (limited to facilities
that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4953 (limited to facilities regulated under
RCRA Subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. section 6921 et seq.), 5169,
5171, and 7389 (limited to facilities primarily engaged in
solvents recovery services on a contract or fee basis); and
The facility manufactures (defined to include importing),
processes, or otherwise uses any EPCRA section 313
chemical in quantities greater than the established
threshold in the course of a calendar year.
Executive Order 13148 extends these reporting requirements to
federal facilities, regardless of their SIC code.

The five-page EPA Form R consists of two parts:
Part I, Facility Identification Information (page 1); and
Part II, Chemical-Specific Information (pages 2-5).
Most of the information required in Part I of Form R can be
completed, photocopied, and attached to each chemical-specific
report. However, Part I of each Form R submitted must have an
original signature on the certification statement. In addition the
trade secret designation must be entered as appropriate. Part II
must be completed separately for each EPCRA section 313
chemical or chemical category. Because a complete Form R
consists of atleastfive unique pages, any submission containing
less than five unique pages is not a valid submission.
A complete report for any EPCRA section 313 chemical that is
not claimed as a trade secret consists of the following completed
parts:
Part I with an original signature on the certification
statement (Section 3); and
Part II.
Staple all five pages of each report together. If you check "yes"
on Part II, Section 8.11, you may attach additional information
on pollution prevention activities at your facility.
A.2.b. The Alternate Threshold Form A
Certification Statement
EPA Form A Certification Statement (hereafter referred to as
Form A) was established in 1994. This form is based on an
alternate threshold for facilities with small quantities of an
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 1
-------
General Information
EPCRA section 313 chemical released or otherwise managed as
waste. The Form A serves to certify that a facility is not subject
to Form R reporting for a specific toxic chemical. Like the
Form R described above, the Form A consists of two parts, but
only consists of a total of two pages.
Part I, Facility Identification Information, which also
includes the "certification" regarding the eligibility to use
the Form A (page 1); and
Part II, Chemical Identification (page 2).
Since 1998, the Form A may be used to report multiple
chemicals. Four chemicals may be reported on page 2 of the
form. If more than four chemicals are to be reported, additional
copies of page 2 can be used to report qualifying chemicals.
The Form A must have an original certification statement on
page 1 and contain an appropriate trade secret designation for
the form. A complete report for Form A consists of at least two
pages for each submission.
A.3 Trade Secret Claims
For any EPCRA section 313 chemical whose identity is claimed
as trade secret, you must submit to EPA two versions of the
substantiation form as prescribed in 40 CFR Part 350, published
July 29, 1988, in the Federal Register (53 FR 28772) as well as
two versions of the EPCRA section 313 report. One set of
reports, the "unsanitized" version, must provide the actual
identity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical. The other set of
reports, i.e., the "sanitized" version, mustprovide only a generic
identity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical. If EPA deems the
trade secret substantiation form valid, only the sanitized set of
forms will be made available to the public.
Use the order form in this document to obtain copies of the rule
and substantiation form. Further explanation of the trade secret
provisions is provided in Part I, Sections 2.1 and 2.2, and Part
II, Section 1.3, of the instructions.
In summary, a complete report to EPA for an EPCRA section
313 chemical claimed as a trade secret must include all of the
following:
A completed "unsanitized" version of Form R or Form A
report including the EPCRA section 313 chemical identity
(staple the pages together); and
A "sanitized" version of a completed Form R or Form A
report in which the EPCRA section 313 chemical identity
items (Part II, Sections 1.1 and 1.2) have been left blank
but in which a generic chemical name has been supplied
(Part II, Section 1.3) (staple the pages together); and
A completed "unsanitized" version of a trade secret
substantiation form (staple the pages together); and
A "sanitized" version of a completed trade secret
substantiation form (staple the pages together).
Securely fasten all four reports together.
Some states also require submission of both sanitized and
unsanitized reports for EPCRA section 313 chemicals whose
identity is claimed as a trade secret. Others require only a
sanitized version. Facilities may jeopardize the trade secret
status of an EPCRA section 313 chemical by submitting an
unsanitized version of the EPCRA section 313 report to a state
agency or Indian tribe that does not require unsanitized forms.
You may identify an individual state's submission requirements
by contacting the appropriate state-designated EPCRA section
313 contact (see Appendix F).

A.4 Recordkeeping
Sound recordkeeping practices are essential for accurate and
efficient TRI reporting. It is in the facility's interest, as well as
EPA's, to maintain records properly.
Facilities must keep a copy of each report filed for at least three
years from the date of submission. These reports will be of use
when completing future reports.
Facilities must also maintain those documents, calculations,
worksheets, and other forms upon which they relied to gather
information for prior reports. In the event of a problem with
data elements on a facility's Form R or Form A report, EPA
2 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
General Information
may request documentation from the facility that supports the
information reported.
EPA may conduct data quality reviews of Form R or Form A
submissions. An essential component of this process involves
reviewing a facility's records for accuracy and completeness.
EPA recommends that facilities keep a record for those EPCRA
section 313 chemicals for which they did not file EPCRA
section 313 reports.
A partial list of records, organized by year, that a facility should
maintain include:
Previous years' EPCRA section 313 reports;
EPCRA section 313 Reporting Threshold Worksheets;
Engineering calculations and other notes;
Purchase records from suppliers;
Inventory data;
EPA (NPDES) permits and monitoring reports;
EPCRA section 312 Tier II Reports;
Monitoring records;
Flowmeter data;
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator's Report;
Pretreatment reports filed by the facility with the local
government;
Invoices from waste management companies;
Manufacturer's estimates of treatment efficiencies;
RCRA manifests;
Process diagrams that indicate emissions and other
releases; and
Records for those EPCRA section 313 chemicals for
which they did not file EPCRA section 313 reports.
A.5 How to Revise or Withdraw TRI Data
U.S. EPA has received several questions relating to withdrawing
and revising TRI data submitted by facilities, such as:
What should be submitted?
To whom should this request be sent?
What are the reasons for revisions/withdrawals?
If you determine that you need to request a revision/withdrawal
of a submission(s), EPA recommends that you use the sample
letters provided in Appendix I of this document.
Submitting a request to EPA to revise TRI data
Facilities that filed a Form R and/or Form A Certification under
EPCRA Section 313 may send their requests to revise the Form
R and/or Form A Certification submission(s) in EPA's database
(i.e., the Toxics Release Inventory System (TRIS)) and in the
public version of the database.
In order to have a submission in the TRI database revised, EPA
recommends that facilities send their request to EPA and the
appropriate state agency, if required by completing a 'Request
for Revision' template (provided below and in Appendix I of
this document) and a copy of the Form R or Form A
Certification you would like to be revised in the EPA database
to the TRI Data Processing Center. EPA will review each
request and notify the requestor if the revision has not been
accepted. Note, late submissions for chemicals not reported in
a previous reporting year are not considered revisions for that
year. In order to effectively process the request, you should
submit the following information:
Facility name and TRI Facility Identification Number
(TRIFID).
Facility mailing address.
Reporting year.
Chemical name.
Technical contact name and phone number.
Name and phone number of the requester.
Reason(s) for revision.
Signature.
Facilities may request a revisionfor one or several reasons, such
as:
Revision of facility identification information.
Revision of chemical identification information (not
including toxic chemical identity).
Revision of release and other waste management activities
information.
Result of an EPA /state inspection.
Result of notice of technical error, notice of significant
error, or notice of noncompliance from EPA.
Result of voluntary disclosure or audit policy.
EPA encourages the use of the TRI-ME software and internet
reporting via the Central Data Exchange (CDX) to revise your
TRI Forms. If you do not have internet access, EPA still
encourages the use of electronic submissions by sending a
diskette. Submitting by diskette can be accomplished using
either the TRI-ME software or ATRS 2001. Although the
ATRS software has been discontinued, ATRS 200 lean still be
used to revise your form data and submit your revisions for any
reporting year from 1987 to 2001. TRI-ME software allows you
to revise your form data only for the reporting year for which
the TRI-ME software was developed. For example, if you are
submitting a revision for reporting year2001,you must use the
TRI-ME software developed for the 2001 reporting year. If
revising by diskette, please print, sign, and date the certification
statement on the cover letter printed from the software. This
must accompany your diskette submission. The documentation
provided with the TRI-ME software contains specific
instructions, or you may call the TRI Software Support Hotline
(see the TRI Home page for the phone number). The Software
Support Hotline number is to be used for ATRS and TRI-ME
and does not provide regulatory support. If you submitted your
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 3
-------
General Information
data using software developed by a third-party vendor, you
should contact the software developer to determine if their
software is capable of creating revisions. If not, you can use
either the ATRS or TRI-ME software or the current hardcopy
paper form. Please be careful when submitting magnetic media
revisions to resubmit only the revised submissions. Do not
resubmit a diskette containing all of your original submissions
if you are only revising one or several of them. If you submit a
diskette to EPA, do not also submit a duplicate printout of what
is on the diskette because they will both be processed potentially
resulting in duplicate records for your facility.
Hard copy revision are accepted but not encouraged due to the
likelihood of data entry errors. Hard copy revisions may be
submitted using the most recent form available, the most recent
version of the TRI-ME software(only for the reporting year for
which the software was developed) or ATRS 2001. After
printing the revised form, certify and date the form on Page 1 or
provide a cover letter with the software created data revision.
Alternatively, you may submit a photocopy of your original
submission (from your file) with the corrections made in blue
ink. Re-sign and re-date the certification statement on Page 1.
For hard copy revisions on forms from 1990 and earlier
reportingyears, you should write "VOLUNTARY REVISION"
on page 1 of the form. For hard copy revisions on forms from
1991 and later reporting years, you should enter "X" in the
space marked "Enter "X" here if this is a revision," on page 1 of
the form.

Submitting a Request to EPA to Withdraw TRI
Data
Facilities that filed a Form R and/or Form A Certification under
EPCRA Section 313 may send their requests to EPA to
withdraw the Form R and/or Form A Certification
submission(s) from EPA's database (i.e., the Toxics Release
Inventory System (TRIS)) and from the public version of the
database.
In order to have a submission removed from the TRI database,
EPA recommends that facilities send their request to EPA and
the appropriate state agency, if required, by completing a
'Request for Withdrawal' template (provided in Appendix I of
this document). EPA will review each request and notify the
requestor by letter whether or not the withdrawal request has
been accepted. In order to effectively process the request, you
should submit the following information:

A.7 Where to Send the Forms
A.7.a How to Submit Form R(s) and/or Form
A(s) to EPA via the Internet (EPA's Central Data
Exchange (CDX))
You have a choice of submitting your forms to EPA through the
Central Data Exchange (CDX), magnetic media or paper.
However, the use of CDX will enable you to submit your
revisions in the most efficient manner.
EPA encourages you to use TRI-ME to electronically submit
your TRI submission(s) via the Internet. TRI-ME allows you to
submit electronically to EPA without the need for mailing any
paper (electronic submission is not available for trade secret
forms). If you choose to submit via the Internet, do not send
duplicate paper or diskette copies of the reports. Please be
aware that submitting via the Internet to the U.S. EPA does not
satisfy your state reporting requirements for your facility. You
must report to your state separately and in the required format
specified by your state (i.e., diskette, paper, etc.).
If you have any questions about the electronic submission
process, call 888 890-1995 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. -
6:00 P.M. Eastern Time. For additional information about
CDX, please see: .
A.7.b How to Send Your Disks Containing Form
R(s) and/or Form A(s)
Included in this reporting package (on the enclosed CD-ROM)
is the TRI-ME reporting software. If you choose to submit your
TRI Form R(s) and or Form A(s) on magnetic media/diskette
using TRI-ME, please follow the instructions below. If you
choose to submit on diskette, do not submit duplicate paper
copies of the reports that are on the diskette.
A.6 When the Report Must Be Submitted A.7.b.l Labeling Your Submission Diskette
As specified in EPCRA section 313, the report for any calendar
year must be submitted on or before July 1 of the folio wing year
whether using Form R or Form A. If the reporting deadline falls
on a Saturday or Sunday, EPA will accept the forms which are
postmarked on the following Monday (i.e., the next business
day). For example, RY2003 reports should be postmarked on
or before Thursday, July 1, 2004. Any voluntary revision to a
report can be submitted anytime during the calendar year for the
current or any previous reporting year. However, voluntary
revisions for the current reporting year should be submitted by
July 31 in order to be included in that year's public data release.

B. Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
This section will help you determine whether you must submit
an EPCRA section 313 report. This section discusses EPCRA
section 313 reporting requirements such as the number of full-
time employees, primary SIC code, and chemical activity
threshold quantities. The EPCRA section 313 chemicals and
chemical categories subject to reporting are listed in Table II
(also see 40 CFR 372.65). (See Figure 1 for more information.)
B.I Full-Time Employee Determination
The number of full-time "employees" is dependent only upon
the total number of hours worked by all employees and other
individuals (e.g., contractors) forthe facility during the calendar
year and not the number of persons working. Therefore, a
"full-time employee," for purposes of EPCRA section 313
reporting, is defined as 2,000 work hours per year. When
making the full-time employee determination the facility must
consider all paid vacation and sick leave used as hours worked
by each employee. In addition, EPA interprets the hours worked
by an employee to include paid holidays. To determine the
number of full-time employees working foryour facility, add up
the hours worked by all employees during the calendar year,
including contract employees and sales and support staff
working for the facility, and divide the total by 2,000 hours.
The result is the number of "full time employees." In other
words, if the total number of hours worked by all employees for
your facility is 20,000 hours or more, your facility meets the ten
employee threshold.
Examples include:
A facility consists of 11 employees who each worked
1,500 hours for the facility in a calendar year.
Consequently, the total number of hours worked by all
employees for the facility during the calendar year is
16,500 hours. The number of full-time employees forthis
facility is equal to 16,500 hours divided by 2,000 hours
per full-time employee, or 8.3 full-time employees.
Therefore, even though 11 persons worked for this facility
during the calendar year, the number of hours worked is
equivalent to 8.3 full-time employees. This facility does
not meet the employee criteria and is not subject to
EPCRA section 313 reporting.
Another facility consists of six workers and three sales
staff. The six workers each worked 2,000 hours for the
facility during the calendar year. The sales staff also each
worked 2,000 hours during the calendar year although
they may have been on the road half of the year. In
addition, five contract employees were hired for a period
during which each worked 400 hours for the facility. The
total number of hours is equal to the time worked by the
workers (12,000 hours), plus the time worked by the sales
staff for the facility (6,000 hours), plus the time worked
by the contract employees (2,000 hours), or 20,000 hours.
Dividing the 20,000 hours by 2,000 yields 10 full-time
employees. This facility has met the full time employee
criteria and may be subject to reporting if the other criteria
are met.
B.2 Primary SIC Code Determination
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 10 (except 1011,
1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39, 4911 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4931
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953
(limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C, 42
U.S.C. section 6921 etseq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a
contract or fee basis) are covered by EPCRA section 313 and
are listed in Table I. The first two digits ofa4-digit SIC code
define a major business sector, while the last two digits denote
a facility's specialty within the major sector. For a detailed
description of 4-digit SIC codes, refer to the "Standard
Industrial Classification Manual 1987." The facility should
determine its own SIC code (s), based on its activities on-site,
using the SIC Manual. State agencies and other organizations
may assign SIC codes on a different basis than the one used by
the SIC Manual. However, for purposes of EPCRA section 313
reporting, these state assigned codes should not be used if they
differ from ones assigned using the SIC Manual.
The EPCRA Call Center can assist facilities with determining
which SIC codes are assigned for specific business activities as
referenced in the SIC Manual. Clothbound editions of the SIC

B.2.a. Multi-Establishment Facilities
Your facility may include multiple establishments that have
different SIC codes. A multi-establishment facility is a facility
that consists of two or more distinct and separate economic
units. If your facility is a multi-establishment facility, calculate
the value added of the products produced, shipped, or services
provided from each establishment within the facility and then
use the following rule to determine if your facility meets the
SIC code criterion:
If the total value added of the products produced, shipped,
or services provided at establishments with covered SIC
codes, i.e., 10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except
1241), 20-39,4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal
and/or oil for the purpose of generating electricity for
distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953
(limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C,
42 U.S.C. section 6921 et seq.), 5169, 5171, or 7389
(limited to facilities primarily engaged in solvents
recovery services on a contract or fee basis) is greater than
50% of the value added of the entire facility's products
and services, the entire facility meets the SIC code
criterion.
If any one establishment with a covered SIC code, i.e., 10
(except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39,
4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for
the purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that combust coal
and/or oil for the purpose of generating electricity for
distribution in commerce), 4939 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953 (limited to
facilities regulated underthe RCRA Subtitle C, 42 U.S.C.
section 6921 et seq.), 5169, 5171, or 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery services
on a contract or fee basis) has a value added of services or
products shipped or produced that is greater than any other
establishment within the facility (40 CFR Section
372.22(b)(3)) the facility also meets the SIC code
criterion.
The value added of production or service attributable to a
particular establishment may be isolated by subtracting the
product value obtained from other establishments within the
same facility from the total product or service value of the
facility. This procedure eliminates the potential for "double
counting" production and services in situations where
establishments are engaged in sequential production or service
activities at a single facility.
Examples include:
A facility in coating, engraving and allied services has two
establishments. The first establishment, a general
automotive repair service, is in SIC code 7537, which is
not a covered SIC code. However, the second
establishment, a metal paint shop is in SIC code 3479,
which is a covered SIC code. The metal paint shop paints
the parts received from general automotive repair service.
The facility determines the product is worth $500/unit as
received from the general automotive repair service (in
non covered SIC code 7537) and the value of the product
is $1500/unit after processing by the metal paint shop (in
covered SIC code 3479). The value added by the metal
paint shop is obtained by subtracting the value of the
products from the general automotive repair service from
that of the value of the products of the metal paint shop.
(In this example, the value added = $l,500/unit -
$500/unit = $l,000/unit.) The value added ($l,000/unit)
by the establishment in SIC code 3479 is more than 50%
of the product value. Therefore, the facility' s primary SIC
code is 3479, which is a covered SIC code.
A food processing establishment in a facility processes
crops grown at the facility in a separate establishment. To
determine the value added of the products of each
establishment the facility could first determine the value
of the crops grown at the agricultural establishment, and
then calculate the contribution of the food processing
establishment by subtracting the crop value from the total
value of the product shipped from the processing
establishment (value of product shipped from processing
- crop value = value of processing establishment).
A covered multi-establishment facility must make EPCRA
section 313 chemical threshold determinations and, if required,
must report all relevant information about releases and other
waste management activities, and source reduction activities
associated with an EPCRA section 313 chemical for the entire
facility, even from establishments that are not in covered SIC
codes (i.e., the covered SIC codes are 10 (except 1011, 1081,
and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39, 4911 (limited to facilities
that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953
(limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C, 42
U.S.C. section 6921 et seq), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery services on a
contract or fee basis)). EPA realizes, however, that certain
establishments in a multi-establishment facility can be, for all
practical purposes, separate business units. Therefore, while
threshold determinations must be made for the entire facility,
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 11
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
individual establishments may report releases and other waste
management activities separately, provided that the total
releases and other waste management quantities for the whole
facility are represented by the sum of the releases and other
quantities managed as waste reported by each of the separate
establishments and the compliance determination is based on
the entire facility.
B.2.b. Auxiliary Facilities
An auxiliary facility is one that supports another covered
establishment's activities (e.g., research and development
laboratories, warehouses, and storage facilities). An auxiliary
facility can assume the SIC code of another covered
establishment if its primary function is to service that other
covered establishment's operations. For the purposes of
EPCRA section 313, auxiliary facility is defined as one
primarily engaged in performing support services for another
covered establishment or multiple establishments of a covered
facility and is in a different physical location than the primary
facility. In addition, an auxiliary facility performs an integral
role in the primary facility's activities. In general, an auxiliary
facility's basic administrative services (paperwork, payroll,
employment) are performed by the primary facility. Thus, a
separate warehouse facility (i.e., one not located within the
physical boundaries of a covered facility) may become a
covered facility because it services a covered establishment in
SIC codes 10 (except 1011,1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241),
20-39, 4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil
for the purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or
oil for the purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4939 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or
oil for the purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4953 (limited to facilities regulated under the
RCRA Subtitle C, 42 U.S.C. section6921 etseq.), 5169, 5171,
and 7389 (limited to facilities primarily engaged in solvents
recovery services on a contract or fee basis). Auxiliary facilities
that are in these aforementioned codes are required to report if
they meet the employee criterion and reporting thresholds for
manufacture, process, or otherwise use.
B.2.c. Property Owners
You are not required to report if you merely own real estate on
which a facility covered by this rule is located; that is, you have
no other business interest in the operation of that facility (e.g.,
your company owns an industrial park). The operator of that
facility, however, is subject to reporting requirements.
B.3 Activity Determination
B.S.a. Definitions of "Manufacture,'
and "Otherwise Use"
'Process,'
Manufacture: The term "manufacture" means to produce,
prepare, compound, or import an EPCRA section 313 chemical.
(See Part II, Section 3.1 of these instructions for further
clarification.)
Import is defined as causing the EPCRA section 313 chemical
to be imported into the customs territory of the United States.
If you order an EPCRA section 313 chemical (or a mixture
containing the chemical) from a foreign supplier, then you have
imported the chemical when that shipment arrives at your
facility directly from a source outside of the United States. By
ordering the chemical, you have "caused it to be imported,"
even though you may have used an import brokerage firm as an
agent to obtain the EPCRA section 313 chemical.
Do Not Overlook Coincidental Manufacture
The term manufacture also includes coincidental production of
an EPCRA section 313 chemical (e.g., as a byproduct or
impurity) as a result of the manufacture, processing, otherwise
use or disposal of another chemical or mixture of chemicals. In
the case of coincidental production of an impurity (i.e., an
EPCRA section 313 chemical that remains in the product that
is distributed in commerce), the de minimis exemption,
discussed in Section B. 3.c of these instructions, applies. The de
minimis exemption does not apply to byproducts (e.g., an
EPCRA section 313 chemical that is separated from a process
stream and further processed or disposed). Certain EPCRA
section 313 chemicals may be manufactured as a result of
wastewater treatment or other treatment processes. For
example, neutralization of wastewater containing nitric acid can
result in the coincidental manufacture of a nitrate compound
(solution), reportable as a member of the nitrate compounds
category.
Process: The term "process" means the preparation of a listed
EPCRA section 313 chemical, after its manufacture, for
distribution in commerce. Processing is usually the
incorporation of an EPCRA section 313 chemical into a product
(see Part II, Section 3.2 of these instructions for further
clarification), however, a facility may process an impurity that
already exists in a raw material by distributing that impurity in
commerce. Processing includes preparation of the EPCRA
section 313 chemicals in the same physical state or chemical
form as that received by your facility, or preparation that
produces a change in physical state or chemical form. The term
also applies to the processing of a mixture or other trade name
product (see Section B.4.b of these instructions) that contains a
listed EPCRA section 313 chemical as one component.
12 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
Example 1: Coincidental Manufacture
Your company, a nitric acid manufacturer, uses aqueous ammonia in a waste treatment system to neutralize an acidic
wastewater stream containing nitric acid. The reaction of ammonia and nitric acid produces a solution of ammonium
nitrate. Ammonium nitrate (solution) is reportable under the nitrate compounds category and is manufactured as a
byproduct. If the ammonium nitrate is produced in a quantity that exceeds the 25,000-pound manufacturing threshold, the
facility must report under the nitrate compounds category.
The aqueous ammonia is considered to be otherwise used and 10% of the total aqueous ammonia would be counted towards
the 10,000-pound otherwise use threshold. Reports for releases of ammonia must also include 10% of the total aqueous
ammonia from the solution of ammonium nitrate (see the qualifier for the ammonia listing).
As another example, combustion of coal or other fuel inboilers/furnaces can result in the coincidental manufacture of metal
category compounds and sulfuric acid (acid aerosols), hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols), and hydrogen fluoride.
Example 2: Typical Process and Manufacture Activities
Your company receives toluene, an EPCRA section 313 chemical, from another facility, and reacts the toluene with
air to form benzoic acid, which the company distributes in commerce. Your company processes toluene and
manufactures and processes benzoic acid. Benzoic acid, however, is not an EPCRA section 313 chemical and thus
does not trigger reporting requirements.
Your facility combines toluene purchased from a supplier with various materials to form paint which it then sells. Your
facility processes toluene.
Your company receives a nickel compound (nickel compounds is a listed EPCRA section 313 chemical category) as
a bulk solid and performs various size-reduction operations (e.g., grinding) before packaging the compound in 50-
pound bags, which the company sells. Your company processes the nickel compound.
Your company receives a prepared mixture of resin and chopped fiber to be used in the injection molding of plastic
products. The resin contains a listed EPCRA section 313 chemical that becomes incorporated into the plastic, which
the company distributes in commerce. Your facility processes the EPCRA section 313 chemical.
In the combustion of coal or oil, metal category compounds may be produced from either the parent metal or a metal
compound contained in the coal or oil. If a metal undergoes a change of valence, a metal compound is considered to
be manufactured. For example, during the combustion process copper in valence state zero changes to copper in
valence state +2 in a compound such as copper (II) oxide (CuO). Furthermore, a metallic compound could be
transformed to another metallic compound without a change in valency (e.g., copper (II) chloride (CuCl) is
transformed to copper (II) oxide). The transformation to a new compound by combustion without a change in valence
state is also considered to be "manufactured" for purposes of EPCRA section 313.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 13
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
Otherwise Use: The term "otherwise use" means any use of
an EPCRA section 313 chemical, including an EPCRA
section 313 chemical contained in a mixture or other trade
name product or waste, that is not covered by the terms
"manufacture" or "process." Otherwise use of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical does not include disposal, stabilization
(without subsequent distribution in commerce), or treatment
for destruction unless:
(1) The EPCRA section 313 chemical that was disposed,
stabilized, or treated for destruction was received from off-
site for the purposes of further waste management;
or
(2) The EPCRA section 313 chemical that was disposed,
stabilized, or treated for destruction was manufactured as a
result of waste management activities on materials received
from off-site for the purposes of waste management
activities. Relabeling or redistributing of the EPCRA section
313 chemical where no repackaging of the EPCRA section
313 chemical occurs does not constitute an otherwise use or
processing of the EPCRA section 313 chemical." (See 62 FR
23846 and Part II, Section 3.3 of these instructions for
further clarification).
Example 3: Typical Otherwise Use Activities
When your facility cleans equipment with toluene, you are otherwise using toluene. Your facility also separates two
components of a mixture by dissolving one component in toluene, and subsequently recovers the toluene from the
process for reuse or disposal. Your facility otherwise uses toluene.
A covered facility receives a waste containing 12,000 pounds of Chemical A, a non-PBT EPCRA section 313
chemical, from off-site. The facility treats the waste, destroying Chemical A and in the treatment process manufactures
10,500 pounds of Chemical B, another non-PBTEPCRA section 313 chemical. Chemical B is disposed on-site. Since
the waste containing Chemical A was received from off-site for the purpose of waste management, the amount of
Chemical A must be included in the otherwise use threshold determination for Chemical A. The otherwise use threshold
for a non-PBT chemical is 10,000 pounds and since the amount of Chemical A exceeds this threshold, all releases and
other waste management activities for Chemical A must be reported. Chemical B was manufactured in the treatment
of a waste received from off-site. The facility disposed of Chemical B on-site. Since Chemical B was generated from
waste received from off-site for treatment for destruction, disposal, or stabilization, the disposal of Chemical B is
considered to be an otherwise use. Thus, the amount of Chemical B must be considered in the otherwise use threshold
determination. Thus, the reporting threshold for Chemical B has also been exceeded and all releases and other waste
management activities for Chemical B must be reported.
B.S.b. Persistent Bioaccumulative
Toxic (PBT) Chemicals and
Chemical Categories Overview
On October 29, 1999 EPA published a final rule (64 FR
58666) adding certain chemicals and chemical categories to
the EPCRA section 313 list of toxic chemicals and lowering
the reporting threshold for persistent bioaccumulative toxic
(PBT) chemicals. In addition, on January 17, 2001 EPA
published a final rule (66 FR 4500) that classified lead and
lead compounds as PBT chemicals and lowered their
reporting thresholds. The lower reporting thresholds for lead
applies to all lead except when lead is contained in a stainless
steal, brass or bronze alloy.
Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, lead compounds,
mercury compounds and polycyclic aromatic compounds
(PACs) are the four PBT chemical categories with lower
reporting thresholds. The 17 members of the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds category and the 21 members of the
PACs category are listed in Table He of these instructions.
The dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category has the
qualifier, "Manufacturing; and the processing or otherwise
use of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds if the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds are present as contaminants in a
chemical and if they were created during the manufacturing
of that chemical."
EPA has added six individual chemicals to the EPCRA
section 313 list of toxic chemicals that also had their
thresholds lowered: benzo(g,h,i)perylene,benzo(j,k)fluorene
(fluoranthene), 3-methylcholanthrene, octachlorostyrene,
pentachlorobenzene, and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA).
Benzo(j,k)fluorene and 3-methylcholanthrene were added as
members of the polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs)
chemical category.
14 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
EPA lowered the reporting thresholds for PBT chemicals to
either 100 pounds, 10 pounds, or in the case of the dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds chemical category, to 0.1 gram.
The table at the beginning of Section B.4 of these
instructions lists the applicable manufacture, process, and
otherwise use thresholds for the listed PBT chemical.
EPA eliminated the de minimis exemption for all PBT
chemicals (except lead when contained in stainless steel,
brass or bronze alloy). However, this action does not affect
the applicability of the de minimis exemption to the supplier
notification requirements (40 CFR Section 372.45(d)(l)).
All PBT chemicals and chemical categories (hereafter
referred to as PBT chemicals) are excluded from eligibility
for the alternate threshold of one million pounds. Thus the
Form A cannot be used for PBT chemicals (except lead when
it is in stainless steel, brass or bronze alloys when the 100 Ibs
threshold for lead has not been exceeded). In addition, PBT
chemicals are ineligible for range reporting for on-site
releases and transfers off site for further waste management.
This will not affect the applicability of range reporting of the
maximum amount on site as required by EPCRA section
313(g).
All releases and other waste management quantities greater
than 0.1 pounds of a PBT chemical (except the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds chemical category) should be
reported at a level of precision supported by the accuracy of
the underlying data and estimation techniques on which the
estimate is based. For quantities of 10 pounds or greater,
only whole numbers are required to be reported. If a
facility's release or other waste management estimates
support reporting an amount that is more precise than whole
numbers, then the more precise amount should be reported.
For the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds chemical category,
which has a reporting threshold of 0.1 gram, facilities need
only report all release and other waste management quantities
greater than 100 micrograms (i.e., 0.0001 grams).
Notwithstanding the numeric precision used when
determining reporting eligibility thresholds, facilities should
report on Form R to the level of accuracy that their data
supports, up to seven digits to the right of the decimal. EP A's
reporting software and data management systems support
data precision to seven digits to the right of the decimal. If a
facility has information on the distribution of dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds, the facility must report either the
distribution that best represents the distribution of the total
quantity of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds released to all
media, or the facility's one best media specific distribution in
Part II, Section 1.4, of the Form R (40 CFR Section
372.85(b)(15)(ii)).
Lead and Lead Compounds
Beginning January 1, 2001, lead and lead compounds are
classified as PBT chemicals and are subject to the lower
manufacturing, processing and otherwise use threshold of
100 pounds. However, when lead is contained in stainless
steel, brass, or bronze alloys it is subject to the higher 25,000
pound manufacturing and processing thresholds and the
10,000 pound otherwise use threshold. Listed below are
some important guidelines to use when calculating threshold
and release and other waste management quantities:
1) quantities of lead not contained in stainless
steel, brass or bronze alloy are applied to both the 100
pound threshold and the 25,000/10,000 pound thresholds;
2) quantities of lead that are contained in stainless
steel, brass or bronze alloys are only applied toward the
25,000/10,000 pound thresholds;
3) a facility may take the de minimis exemption for
those quantities of lead in stainless steel, brass, or bronze
alloys that meet the de minimis standard (e.g., manufactured
as an impurity). Accordingly, the de minimis exemption may
be considered for quantities of lead in stainless steel, brass,
or bronze alloys but it may not be considered for lead not in
stainless steel, brass, or bronze alloys;
4) Form A, range reporting in Sections 5 and 6 of
the Form R and the use of whole numbers and 2 significant
digits may not be applied to lead reporting once the lower,
100 pound threshold has been exceeded. Therefore, if a
facility exceeds the 25,000/10,000 pound threshold but does
not exceed the 100 pound threshold, the facility may consider
Form A, range reporting in Sections 5 and 6 of the Form R,
and the use of whole numbers and 2 significant digits. Once
the 100 pound threshold is exceeded, however, the facility
may not consider Form A, range reporting in Sections 5 and
6 of the Form R and the use of whole numbers and 2
significant digits even if the 25,000/10,000 pound threshold
is also exceeded; and
5) consolidated reporting between lead and lead
compounds is allowed only on Form R because Form A is
never allowed when reporting lead compounds.
B.S.c. Activity Exemptions
Otherwise Use Exemptions. Certain otherwise uses of
listed EPCRA section 313 chemicals are specifically
exempted:
Otherwise use as a structural component of the
facility;
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 15
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
Otherwise use in routine janitorial or facility
grounds maintenance;
Personal uses by employees or other persons;
Otherwise use of products containing EPCRA
section 313 chemicals for the purpose of
maintaining motorvehicles operated by the facility;
and
Otherwise use of EPCRA section 313 chemicals
contained in intake water (used for processing or
non-contact cooling) or in intake air (used either as
compressed air or for combustion).
The exemption of an EPCRA section 313 chemical otherwise
used 1) as a structural component of the facility; or 2) in
routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance; or 3) for
personal use by an employee cannot be taken for activities
involving process-related equipment.
Articles Exemption. EPCRA section 313 chemicals
contained in articles that are processed or otherwise used at
a covered facility are exempt from threshold determinations
and release and other waste management calculations. The
exemption applies when the facility receives the article from
another facility or when the facility produces the article itself.
The exemption applies only to the quantity of EPCRA
section 313 chemical present in the article. If the EPCRA
section 313 chemical is manufactured (including imported),
processed, or otherwise used at the covered facility other
than as part of the article, in excess of an applicable threshold
quantity, the facility is required to report (40 CFR Section
372.38(b)). For an EPCRA section 313 chemical in an item
to be exempt as part of the article, the item must meet all the
following criteria in the EPCRA section 313 article
definition; that is, it must be a manufactured item (1) which
is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture,
(2) which has end use functions dependent in whole or in
part upon its shape or design during end use, and (3) which
does not release a toxic chemical under normal conditions of
processing or otherwise use of the item at the facility.
If the processing or otherwise use of all like items results in
a total release of 0.5 pound or less of an EPCRA section 313
chemical in a reporting year to any environmental medium,
EPA will allow this release to be rounded to zero, and the
manufactured items retain their article status. The 0.5 pound
threshold does not apply to each individual article, but
applies to the sum of all releases from processing or
otherwise use of all like articles. If all the releases of like
articles over a reporting year are completely captured and
recycled/reused on-site or off-site, those items retain their
article status. Any amount that is released and is not
recycled/reused will count toward the 0.5 pound per year
cut-off value.
The articles exemption applies to the normal processing or
otherwise use of articles. This exemption does not apply to
the manufacture of the article. EPCRA section 313
chemicals incorporated into articles produced at a facility
must be factored into threshold determinations and release
and other waste management calculations.
If, in the course of processing or otherwise use, an item
retains its initial thickness or diameter, in whole or in part, it
meets the first part (i.e., it must be a manufactured item
which is formed to a specific shape or design during
manufacture) of the article definition. If the item's basic
dimensional characteristics are totally altered during
processing or otherwise use, the item does not meet the first
part of the definition. An example of items that do not meet
the definition would be items which are cold extruded, such
as lead ingots, which are formed into wire or rods. On the
other hand, cutting a manufactured item into pieces which are
recognizable as the article would not change the original
dimensions as long as the diameter or the thickness of the
item remained the same; the articles exemption would
continue to apply. Metal wire may be bent and sheet metal
may be cut, punched, stamped, or pressed without losing
their article status as long as the diameter of the wire or
tubing or the thickness of the sheet is not totally changed.
An important aspect of the articles exemption is what
constitutes a release of an EPCRA section 313 chemical.
Any processing or otherwise use of like articles that results
in a release to the environment (of more than 0.5 pounds)
negates the article status and precludes eligibility for the
exemption. Cutting, grinding, melting, or other processing
of manufactured items could result in a release of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical during normal conditions of processing
or otherwise use and therefore negate the exemption as
articles.
16 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
Example 4: Articles Exemption
Nickel that is incorporated into a brass doorknob is processed to manufacture the brass doorknob, and therefore must
be counted toward threshold determinations and release and other waste management calculations. However, the use
of the brass doorknobs elsewhere in the facility does not have to be counted. Disposal of the brass doorknob after its
use does not constitute a "release;" thus, the brass doorknob remains an article.
If an item used in the facility is fragmented, the item is still an article if those fragments being discarded remain
identifiable as the article (e.g., recognizable pieces of a cylinder, pieces of wire). For instance, an eight-foot piece of
wire is cut into two four-foot pieces of wire, without releasing any EPCRA section 313 chemicals. Each four-foot
piece is identifiable as a piece of wire; therefore, the article status for these pieces of wire remains intact.
EPCRA section 313 chemicals received in the form of pellets are not articles because the pellet form is simply a
convenient form for further processing of the material.
De Minimis Exemption. The de minimis exemption allows
facilities to disregard certain minimal concentrations of non-
PBT chemicals in mixtures or other trade name products when
making threshold determinations and release and other waste
management calculations. The de minimis exemption does not
apply to the manufacture of an EPCRA section 313 chemical
except if that EPCRA section 313 chemical is manufactured as
an impurity and remains in the product distributed in commerce,
or if the EPCRA section 313 chemical is imported below the
appropriate de minimis level. The de minimis exemption does
not apply to a byproduct manufactured coincidentally as a result
of manufacturing, processing, otherwise use, or any waste
management activities. The de minimis exemption does not
apply to any PBT chemical (except lead when it is contained in
stainless steel, brass or bronze alloy) or PBT chemical category.
A list of PBT chemicals may be found in Section B.4 of these
instructions.
When determining whether the de minimis exemption applies to
an EPCRA section 313 chemical, the owner/operator must
consider the concentration of the non-PBT EPCRA section 313
chemical in mixtures and other trade name products. If the non-
PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical in a mixture or other trade
name product is manufactured as an impurity, imported,
processed, or otherwise used and is below the appropriate de
minimis concentration level, then the quantity of the non-PBT
EPCRA section 313 chemical in that mixture or other trade
name product does not have to be applied to threshold
determinations nor included in release or other waste
management determinations. If a non-PBT EPCRA section 313
chemical in a mixture or other trade name product is below the
appropriate de minimis level, all releases and other waste
management activities associated with the EPCRA section 313
chemical in that mixture or other trade name product are exempt
from EPCRA section 313 reporting. It is possible to meet an
activity (e.g., processing) threshold for an EPCRA section 313
chemical on a facility-wide basis, but not be required to
calculate releases or other waste management quantities
associated with a particular process because that process
involves only mixtures or other trade name products containing
the non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical below the de
minimis level.
EPA interprets the de minimis exemption such that once a non-
PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical concentration is at or above
the appropriate de minimis level in the mixture or other trade
name product threshold determinations and release and other
waste management calculations must be made, even if that
chemical later falls below the de minimis level in the same
mixture or other trade name product. Thus, EPA considers
reportable all releases and other quantities managed as waste
that occur after the de minimis level has been met or exceeded.
If an EPCRA section 313 chemical in a mixture or other trade
name product at or above de minimis is brought on-site, the de
minimis exemption never applies.
De minimis levels for non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemicals
and chemical categories are set at concentration levels of either
1% or 0.1%; PBT chemicals and chemical categories do not
have de minimis levels with regard to this exemption. The 0.1%
de minimis levels are dictated by determinations made by the
National Toxicology Program (NTP) in its Annual Report on
Carcinogens, the International Agency for Research and Cancer
(IARC) in its Monographs, or 29 CFR part 1910, subpart Z.
Therefore, once a non-PBT chemical's status under NTP,
IARC, or 29 CFR part 1910, subpart Z indicates that the
chemical is a carcinogen or potential carcinogen, the reporting
facility may disregard levels of the chemical below the 0.1% de
minimis concentration provided that the other criteria for the de
minimis exemption are met. De minimis levels for chemical
categories apply to the total concentration of all chemicals in the
category within a mixture, not the concentration of each
individual category member within the mixture.

Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
De Minimis Application to the Processing or
Otherwise Use of a Mixture
The de minimis exemption applies to the processing or
otherwise use of a non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical in a
mixture. Threshold determinations and release and other waste
management calculations begin at the point where the chemical
meets or exceeds the de minimis level. If a non-PBT EPCRA
section 313 chemical is present in a mixture at a concentration
below the de minimis level, this quantity of the substance does
not have to be included for threshold determinations, release
and other waste management reporting, or supplier notification
requirements. The exemption will apply as long as the mixture
containing de minimis amounts of a non-PBT EPCRA section
313 chemical never equals or goes above the de minimis limit.
Concentration Ranges Straddling the De Minimis Value
There may be instances in which the concentration of a non-
PBT chemical is given as a range straddling the de minimis
limit. Example 6 illustrates how the de minimis exemption
should be applied in such a scenario.
Example 5: De Minimis Applications to Process and Otherwise Use Scenarios for Non-PBT Chemicals
There are many cases in which the de minimis "limit" is crossed or recrossed by non-PBT chemicals within a process or
otherwise use scenario. The following examples are meant to illustrate these complex reporting scenarios.
Increasing Concentration To or Above De Minimis Levels During Processing for Non-PBT Chemicals
A manufacturing facility receives toluene that contains chlorobenzene at a concentration below its de minimis limit. Through
distillation, the chlorobenzene content in process streams is increased over the de minimis concentration of 1%. From the point
at which the chlorobenzene concentration equals 1% in process streams, the amount present must be factored into threshold
determinations and release and other waste management estimates. The facility does not need to consider the amount of
chlorobenzene in the raw material when below de minimis levels, i.e., prior to distillation to 1%, when making threshold
determinations. The facility does not have to report emissions of chlorobenzene from storage tanks or any other equipment
associated with that specific process where the chlorobenzene content is less than 1%.
Fluctuating Concentration During Processing for Non-PBT Chemicals
A manufacturer produces an ink product that contains toluene, an EPCRA section 313 chemical, below the de minimis level.
The process used causes the percentage of toluene in the mixture to fluctuate: it rises above the de minimis level for a time but
drops below the level as the process winds down. The facility must consider the chemical toward threshold determinations from
the point at which it first equals the de minimis limit. Once the de minimis limit has been met the exemption cannot be taken.

Example 6: Concentration Ranges Straddling the De Minimis Value
A facility processes 8,000,000 pounds of a mixture containing 0.25 to 1.25% manganese. Manganese is eligible for
the de minimis exemption at concentrations up to 1%. The amount of mixture subject to reporting is the quantity containing
manganese at or above the de minimis concentration:
[(8,000,000) x (1.25% - 0.99%)] + (1.25% - 0.25%)
The average concentration of manganese that is not exempt (above the de minimis) is:
(1.25%+1.00%)-(2)
(8,000,000) x (1.25%ซ 0.99%)
(1.25%ซ 0.25%)
(1.25%M.OO%)
(2)
23,400 pounds
Therefore, the amount of manganese that is subject to threshold determination and release and other waste management
estimates is:
= 23,400 pounds manganese (which is below the processing threshold for manganese)
In this scenario, because the facility's information pertaining to manganese was available to two decimal places, 0.99 was used
to determine the amount below the de minimis concentrations. If the information was available to one decimal place, 0.9 should
be used, as in the scenario below.
As in the previous example, manganese is present in a mixture, of which 8,000,000 pounds is processed. The MSDS
states the mixture contains 0.2% to 1.2% manganese. The amount of mixture subject to reporting (at or above de minimis limit)
is:
[(8,000,000) x (1.2% - 0.9%)] + (1.2% - 0.2%)
The average concentration of manganese that is not exempt (at or above de minimis limit) is:
(1.2%+1.0%)+ (2)
Therefore, the amount of manganese that is subject to threshold determinations and release and other waste management
estimates is:
(8,000,000) x (1.2%ซ 0.9%)
(1.2%ซ 0.2%)
(1.2%ซ 4.0%)
(2)
26,400 pounds
= 26,400 pounds manganese (which is above the processing threshold for manganese)

Example 7: De Minimis Application in the Manufacture of a Toxic Chemical in a Mixture
Manufacture as a Product Impurity
Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate reacts with trace amounts of water to form trace quantities of 2,4-diaminotoluene. The resulting
product contains 99% toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and 0.05% 2,4-diaminotoluene. The 2,4-diaminotoluene would not be subject
to EPCRA section 313 reporting nor would supplier notification be required because the concentration of 2,4-diaminotoluene
is below its de minimis limit of 0.1% in the product.
Manufacture as a Commercial Byproduct and Impurity
Chloroform is a reaction byproduct in the production of carbon tetrachloride. It is removed by distillation to a concentration of
less than 150 ppm (0.0150%) remaining in the carbon tetrachloride. The separated chloroform at 90% concentration is sold as
a byproduct. Chloroform is subject to a 0.1% (1000 ppm) de minimis limit. Any amount of chloroform manufactured and
separated as byproduct must be included in threshold determinations because EPA does not interpret the de minimis exemption
to apply to the manufacture of a chemical as a byproduct. Releases of chloroform prior to and during purification of the carbon
tetrachloride must be reported. The de minimis exemption can, however, be applied to the chloroform remaining in the carbon
tetrachloride as an impurity. Because the concentration of chloroform remaining in the carbon tetrachloride is below the de
minimis limit, this quantity of chloroform is exempt from threshold determinations, release and other waste management
reporting, and supplier notification.
Manufacture as a Waste Byproduct
A small amount of formaldehyde is manufactured as a reaction byproduct during the production of phthalic anhydride. The
formaldehyde is separated from the phthalic anhydride as a waste gas and burned, leaving no formaldehyde in the phthalic
anhydride. The amount of formaldehyde produced and removed must be included in threshold determinations and release and
other waste management estimates even if the formaldehyde were present below the de minimis level in the process stream where
it was manufactured or in the waste stream to which it was separated, because EPA does not interpret mixtures and trade name
products to includes wastes.
De Minimis Application in the Manufacture The de minimis exemption also does not apply to situations

minimis level.

unconsolidated material that overlies a deposit of useful material
or ore. It does not include any portion of the ore or waste rock.

thresholds are listed in the table below. See Table He of these
instructions for lists of individual members of the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds chemical category and the polycyclic
aromatic compounds chemical category.
Example 8: Coal mining extraction activities
Included among these are explosives for blasting operations,
solvents, lubricants, and fuels for extraction related
equipment maintenance and use, as well as overburden and
mineral deposits. The EPCRA section 313 chemicals
contained in these materials are exempt from threshold
determinations and release and other waste management
calculations, when manufactured, processed or otherwise
used during extraction activities at coal mines.
B.4 Threshold Determinations
EPCRA section 313 reporting is required if threshold quantities
are exceeded. Separate thresholds apply to the amount of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical that is manufactured, processed or
otherwise used.
You must submit a report for any EPCRA section 313 chemical,
which is not listed as a PBT chemical, that is manufactured or
processed at your facility in excess of the following threshold:
25,000 pounds per toxic chemical or category over the
calendar year.
You must submit a report for any EPCRA section 313 chemical,
which is not listed as a PBT chemical, that is otherwise used at
your facility in excess of the following threshold:
10,000 pounds per toxic chemical or category over the
calendar year.
You must submit a report for any EPCRA section 313 chemical,
which is listed as a PBT chemical, that is manufactured,
processed or otherwise used at your facility above the designated
threshold for that chemical.

B.4.a. How to Determine if Your
Facility Has Exceeded Thresholds
To determine whether your facility has exceeded an EPCRA
section 313 reporting threshold, compare quantities of EPCRA
section 313 chemicals that you manufacture, process, or
otherwise use to the respective thresholds for those activities. A
worksheet is provided in Figure 2A to assist facilities in
determining whether they exceed any of the reporting thresholds
for non-PBT chemicals; Figures 2B-D provide worksheets for
PBT chemicals. This worksheet also provides a format for
maintaining reporting facility records. Use of this worksheet is
not required and the completed worksheet(s) should not
accompany Form R reports submitted to EPA and the state.
Complete the appropriate worksheet for each EPCRA section
313 chemical or chemical category. (The worksheets can be
found at the end of section B.4.) Base your threshold
determination for EPCRA section 313 chemicals with qualifiers
only on the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
satisfying the qualifier.
Use of the worksheets is divided into three steps:
Step 1 allows you to record the gross amount of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical or chemical category involved in activities
throughout the facility. Pure forms as well as the amounts of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical category present in
mixtures or other trade name products must be considered. The
types of activity (i.e., manufacturing, processing, or otherwise
using) for which the EPCRA section 313 chemical is used must
be identified because separate thresholds apply to each of these
activities. A record of the information source(s) used should be
kept. Possible information sources include purchase records,
inventory data, and calculations by a process engineer. The
data collected in Step 1 will be totaled for each activity to
identify the overall amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
or chemical category manufactured (including imported),
processed, or otherwise used.
Step 2 allows you to identify uses of the EPCRA section 313
chemical or chemical category that were included in Step 1 but
are exempt under EPCRA section 313. Do not include in Step
2 exempt quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical not
included in the calculations in Step 1. For example, if Freon
contained in the building's air conditioners was not reported in
Step 1, you would not include the amount as exempt in Step 2.
Step 2 is intended for use when a quantity or use of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical is exempt while other quantities require
reporting. Note the type of exemption for future reference.
Also identify, if applicable, the fraction or percentage of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical present that is exempt. Add the
amounts in each activity to obtain a subtotal for exempted
amounts of the EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical
categories at the facility.
Step 3 involves subtracting the result of Step 2 from the results
of Step 1 for each activity. Compare this net sum to the
applicable activity threshold. If the threshold is exceeded for
any of the three activities, a facility must submit a Form R for
that EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical category. Do
not sum quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical that are
manufactured, processed, and otherwise used at your facility,
because each of these activities requires a separate threshold
determination. For example, if in a calendar year you
processed 20,000 pounds of a non-PBT EPCRA section 313
chemical and you otherwise used 6,000 pounds of that same
chemical, your facility has not exceeded any applicable
threshold and thus is not required to report for that chemical.
Worksheets should be retained to document your determination
for reporting or not reporting, but should not be submitted with
the report.
You must submit a report if you exceed any threshold for any
EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical category. For
example, if your facility processes 22,000 pounds of anon-PBT
EPCRA section 313 chemical and also otherwise uses 16,000
pounds of that same chemical, it has exceeded the otherwise
use threshold (10,000 pounds for a non-PBT chemical) and
your facility must report even though it did not exceed the
process threshold (25,000 pounds for a non-PBT chemical).
In preparing your reports, you must consider all non-exempted
activities and all releases and other waste management
quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical from your
22 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
facility, not just releases and other waste management quantities
from the otherwise use activity.
Also note that threshold determinations are based upon the
actual amounts of an EPCRA section 313 chemical
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used over the course of
the calendar year. The threshold determination may not relate to
the amount of an EPCRA section 313 chemical brought on-site
during the calendaryear. Forexample, if a stockpile of 100,000
pounds of a non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical is present
on-site but only 20,000 pounds of that chemical is applied to a
process, only the 20,000 pounds processed is counted toward a
threshold determination, not the entire 100,000 pounds of the
stockpile.
B.4.b. Threshold Determinations
for On-Site Reuse Operations
Threshold determinations of EPCRA section 313 chemicals that
are reused at the facility are based only on the amount of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical that is added during the year, not
the total volume in the system. For example, a facility operates
a refrigeration unit that contains 15,000 pounds of anhydrous
ammonia at the beginning of the year. The system is charged
with 2,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia during the year. The
facility has therefore "otherwise used" only 2,000 pounds of
anhydrous ammonia, a non-PBT EPCRA section 313 chemical,
which is below the otherwise use threshold for anhydrous
ammonia and is not required to report (unless there are other
"otherwise use" activities of ammonia, that when taken together,
exceed the reporting threshold). If, however, the whole
refrigeration unit was recharged with 15,000 pounds of
anhydrous ammonia during the year, then the facility would have
exceeded the otherwise use threshold, and would be required to
report.
This does not apply to EPCRA section 313 chemicals "recycled"
or "reused" off-site and returned to a facility. Such EPCRA
section 313 chemicals returned to a facility are treated as the
equivalent of newly purchased material for purposes of EPCRA
section 313 threshold determinations.
B.4.c. Threshold Determinations for Ammonia
The listing for ammonia includes the modifier "includes
anhydrous ammonia and aqueous ammonia from water
dissociable ammonium salts and other sources; 10% of total
aqueous ammonia is reportable under this listing". The qualifier
for ammonia means that anhydrous forms of ammonia are 100%
reportable and aqueous forms are limited to 10% of total
aqueous ammonia. Therefore, when determining threshold
quantities, 100% of anhydrous ammonia is included but only
10% of total aqueous ammonia is included. If any ammonia
evaporates from aqueous ammonia solutions, 100% of the
evaporated ammonia is included in threshold determinations.
For example, if a facility processes aqueous ammonia it has
processed 100% of the aqueous ammonia in that solution. If
the ammonia remains in solution, then 10% of the total aqueous
ammonia is counted towards threshold. If there are any
evaporative losses of anhydrous ammonia, then 100% of those
losses must be counted towards the processing threshold. If the
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use threshold for the
ammonia listing are exceeded, the facility must report 100% of
these evaporative losses in Sections 5 and 8 of the Form R.
B.4.d. Threshold Determinations
for Chemical Categories
A number of chemical compound categories are subject to
reporting. See Table He for a listing of these EPCRA section
313 chemical categories. When preparing threshold
determinations for one of these EPCRA section 313 chemical
categories, all individual members of a category that are
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used must be counted.
Where generic names are used at a facility, threshold
determinations should be based on CAS numbers. For
example, Poly-Solv EB does not appear among the reportable
chemicals in Table Ha or lib but its CAS number indicates
Poly-Solv EB is a synonym for ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl
ether, a member of the certain glycol ethers chemical category
(code N230). For chemical compound categories threshold
determinations must be made separately for each of the three
activities. Do not include in these threshold determinations for
a category any chemicals that are also individually listed
EPCRA section 313 chemicals (see Table Ha or lib) or
chemicals that have been deleted from a category (e.g., a class
of copper phthalocy anine compounds has been deleted from the
copper compounds category). Individually listed EPCRA
section 313 chemicals are subject to their own, individual
threshold determination.
Organic Compounds
For the organic compound categories, you are required to
account for the entire weight of all compounds within a
specific compound category (e.g., glycol ethers) at the facility
for BOTH the threshold determination and release and other
waste management estimates.
Metal Category Compounds
Threshold determinations for metal category compounds
present a special case. If, for example, your facility processes
several different nickel compounds, base your threshold
determination on the total weight of all nickel compounds
processed. However, if your facility processes both the
"parent" metal (nickel) as well as one or more nickel
compounds, you must make threshold determinations for both
nickel (CAS number 7440-02-0) and nickel compounds
(chemical category code N495) because they are separately
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 23
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
listed EPCRA section 313 chemicals. If your facility exceeds
thresholds for both the parent metal and compounds of that same
metal, EPA allows you to file one combined report (e.g., one
report for nickel compounds, including nickel) because the
release information you will report in connection with metal
category compounds will be the total pounds of the metal
released. If you file one combined report, you should put the
name of the metal compound category on the Form R. In the
example above, the facility that exceeded reporting thresholds
for both nickel and nickel compounds chemical category, that
facility could submit a single Form R for the nickel compounds
chemical category, which would contain release and other waste
management information for both nickel and nickel compounds.
Do not put both names on the Form R.
The case of metal category compounds involving more than one
metal should be noted. Some metal category compounds may
contain more than one listed metal. For example, lead chromate
is both a lead compound and a chromium compound. In such
cases, if applicable thresholds are exceeded, you are required to
file two separate reports, one for lead compounds and one for
chromium compounds. Apply the total weight of the lead
chromate to the threshold determinations for both lead
compounds and chromium compounds. (Note: Only the amount
of each parent metal released or otherwise managed as waste
(not the amount of the compound), would be reported on the
appropriate sections of both Form Rs. See B.5.)
Nitrate Compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when
in aqueous solution)
For the category nitrate compounds (water dissociable;
reportable only when in aqueous solution), the entire weight of
the nitrate compound is counted in making threshold
determinations. A nitrate compound is covered by this listing
only when in water and only if dissociated. If no information is
available on the identity of the type of nitrate that is
manufactured, processed or otherwise used, assume that the
nitrate compound exists as sodium nitrate.
B.4.e Threshold Determination for Persistent
Bioaccumulative Toxic (PBT) Chemicals
There are two separate thresholds for EPCRA section 313 PBT
chemicals; these thresholds are set based on the chemical's
potential to persist and bioaccumulate in the environment. The
manufacturing, processing and otherwise use thresholds for PBT
chemicals is 100 pounds, while for the subset of PBTs chemicals
that are highly persistent and highly toxic, it is 10 pounds. One
exception is the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds chemical
categorythe threshold for this category is 0.1 gram. The PBT
chemicals, their CAS numbers (or chemical category code), and
their reporting thresholds are listed in a table in the introductory
section of B.4. See Table He of these instructions for lists of
individual members of the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds
chemical category and the polycyclic aromatic compounds
(PACs) chemical category.
B.4.f. Mixtures and Other
Trade Name Products
EPCRA section 313 chemicals contained in mixtures and other
trade name products must be factored into threshold
determinations and release and other waste management
calculations.
If your facility processed or otherwise used mixtures or other
trade name products during the calendar year, you are required
to use the best readily available data, or where such data are not
readily available, reasonable estimates to determine whetherthe
toxic chemicals in a mixture meet or exceed the de minimis
concentration and, therefore, must be included in threshold
determinations and release and other waste management
calculations. If you know that a mixture or other trade name
product contains a specific EPCRA section 313 chemical,
combine the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the
mixture or other trade name product with other amounts of the
same EPCRA section 313 chemical processed or otherwise
used at your facility for threshold determinations and release
and other waste management calculations. If you know that a
mixture contains an EPCRA section 313 chemical but it is
present below the de minimis level, you do not have to consider
the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical present in that
mixture for purposes of threshold determinations and release
and other waste management calculations. PBT chemicals are
not eligible for the de minimis exemption except lead when it
is contained in stainless steel, brass or bronze alloy.
Observe the following guidelines in estimating concentrations
of EPCRA section 313 chemicals in mixtures when only
limited information is available:
If you only know the upper bound concentration, you must
use it for threshold determinations (40 CFR section
372.30(b)(ii)).
If you know the lower and upper bound concentrations of
an EPCRA section 313 chemical in a mixture, EPA
recommends you use the midpoint of these two
concentrations for threshold determinations.
If you know only the lower bound concentration, EPA
recommends you subtract out the percentages of any other
known components to determine a reasonable upper
bound concentration, and then determine a midpoint.
If you have no information other than the lower bound
concentration, EPA recommends you calculate a midpoint
assuming an upper bound concentration of 100%.

Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
In cases where you only have a concentration range
available, EPA recommends you use the midpoint of the
range extremes.
B.5 Release and Other Waste Management
Determinations for Metals, Metal Category
Compounds, and Nitrate Compounds
Metal Category Compounds
Although the complete weight of the metal category compounds
must be used in threshold determinations for the metal
compounds category, for release and other waste management
determinations, only the weight of the metal portion of the metal
category compound must be considered. Remember that for
metal category compounds that consist of more than one metal,
release and other waste management reporting must be based on
the weight of each metal, provided that the appropriate
thresholds have been exceeded.
Metals and Metal Category Compounds
As stated above, for compounds within the metal compound
categories only the metal portion of the metal category
compound must be considered in determining release and other
waste management quantities for the metal category
compounds. Therefore, if thresholds are separately exceededfor
both the "parent" metal and its compounds, EPA allows you to
file a combined Form R for the "parent" metal and its category
compounds. This Form R would contain all of the release and
other waste management information for both the "parent"
metal and metal portion of the related metal category
compounds. For example, you exceed thresholds for
chromium. You also exceed thresholds for chromium
compounds. Instead of filing two Form Rs you can file one
combined Form R. This Form R would contain information on
quantities of chromium released or otherwise managed as waste
and the quantities of the chromium portion of the chromium
compounds released or otherwise managed as waste. When
filing one combined Form R for an EPCRA section 313 metal
and metal compound category, facilities should identify the
chemical reported as the metal compound category name and
code in Section 1 of the Form R. Note that this does not apply
to the Form A. See the section in these instructions on the
Form A. See Appendix B for more information about reporting
the release and other waste management of metals and metal
compounds.
Nitrate Compounds (water dissociable; reportable only in
aqueous solution)
Although the complete weight of the nitrate compound must be
used for threshold determinations for the nitrate compounds
category, for release and other waste management calculations
only the nitrate portion of the compound should be reported.

Facility Eligibility Determination for Submitting an EPCRA Section 313 Report
Example 9: Mixtures and Other Trade Name Products
Scenario #1: Your facility otherwise uses 12,000 pounds of an industrial solvent (Solvent X) for equipment cleaning. The
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) forthe solvent indicates that it contains at least 50% methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), anEPCRA
section 313 chemical; however, it also states that the solvent contains 20% non-hazardous surfactants. This is the only MEK-
containing mixture used at the facility.
EPA recommends you follow these steps to determine if the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in solvent X exceeds
the threshold for otherwise use.
1) Determine a reasonable maximum concentration for the EPCRA section 313 chemical by subtracting out the non-
hazardous surfactants (i.e., 100% - 20% = 80%).
2) Determine the midpoint between the known minimum (50%) and the reasonable maximum calculated above (i.e., (80%
+ 50%)/2 = 65%).
3) Multiply total weight of Solvent X otherwise used by 65% (0.65).
12,000 pounds x 0.65 = 7,800 pounds
4) Because the total amount of MEK otherwise used at the facility was less than the 10,000-pound otherwise use
threshold, the facility is not required to file a Form R for MEK.
Scenario #2: Your facility otherwise used 15,000 pounds of Solvent Y to clean printed circuit boards. The MSDS for the
solvent lists only that Solvent Y contains at least 80% of an EPCRA section 313 chemical that is only identified as chlorinated
hydrocarbons.
EPA recommends you follow these steps to determine if the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the solvent exceeds
the threshold for otherwise use.
1) Because the specific chemical is unknown, the Form R will be filed for "chlorinated hydrocarbons." This name will
be entered into Part II, Section 2.1, "Mixture Component Identity." (Note: Because your supplier is claiming the
EPCRA section 313 chemical identity a trade secret, you do not have to file substantiation forms.)
2) The upper bound limit is assumed to be 100% and the lower bound limit is known to be 80%. Using this information,
the specific concentration is estimated to be 90% (i.e., the mid-point between upper and lower limits).
(100% + 80%)/2 = 90%
3) The total weight of Solvent Y is multiplied by 90% (0.90) when calculating for thresholds.
15,000x0.90=13,500
4) Because the total amount of chlorinated hydrocarbons exceeds the 10,000-pound otherwise use threshold, you must
file a Form R for this chemical.

30 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
C. Instructions for Completing EPA Form R
Part I. Facility Identification
Information
Section 1. Reporting Year
This is the calendar year to which the reported information
applies, not the year in which you are submitting the report.
Information for the 2003 reporting year must be submitted on
or before July 1,2004.
Section 2. Trade Secret Information
2.1 Are you claiming the EPCRA section 313 chemical
identified on page 2 a trade secret?
Answer this question only after you have completed the rest of
the report. The specific identity of the EPCRA section 313
chemical being reported in Part II, Section 1, may be
designated as a trade secret. If you are making a trade secret
claim, mark "yes" and proceed to Section 2.2. Only check
"yes" if you manufacture, process, or otherwise use the
EPCRA section 313 chemical whose identity is a trade secret.
(See page 2 of these instructions for specific information on
trade secrecy claims.) If you checked "no," proceed to Section
3; do not answer Section 2.2.
Do not submit trade secret reports electronically or on
diskette.
2.2 If "yes" in 2.1, is this copy sanitized or unsanitized?
Answer this question only after you have completed the rest of
the report. Check "sanitized" if this copy of the report is the
public version that does not contain the EPCRA section 313
chemical identity but does contain a generic name in its place,
and you have claimed the EPCRA section 313 chemical
identity trade secret in Part I, Section 2.1. Otherwise, check
"unsanitized."
Section 3. Certification
The certification statement must be signed by a senior official
with management responsibility for the person (or persons)
completing the form. A senior management official must
certify the accuracy and completeness of the information
reported on the form by signing and dating the certification
statement. Each report must contain an original signature. You
should print or type in the space provided the name and title of
the person who signs the statement. This certification statement
applies to all the information supplied on the form and should
be signed only after the form has been completed.
Section 4. Facility Identification
4.1 Facility Name, Location, and
TRI Facility Identification Number
Enter the full name that the facility presents to the public and its
customers in doing business (e.g., the name that appears on
invoices, signs, and other official business documents). Do not
use a nickname for the facility (e.g., Main Street Plant) unless
that is the legal name of the facility under which it does
business. Also enter the street address, mailing address, city,
county, state, and zip code in the space provided. Do not use a
post office box number as the street address. The street address
provided must be the location where the EPCRA section 313
chemicals are manufactured, processed, or otherwise used. If
your mailing address and street address are the same, you should
enter NA in the space for the mailing address.
If your facility is not in a county, put the name of your city,
district (for example, District of Columbia), or parish (if you are
in Louisiana) in the county block of the Form R and Form A as
well as in the county field of TRI-ME. "NA" or "None" are not
acceptable entries.
If you have submitted a Form R or Form A for previous
reporting years, a TRI Facility Identification Number has been
assigned to your facility. If you know your TRI Facility
Identification Number, you should complete Section 4. If you
do not know your TRI Facility Identification Number, you
should contact the EPCRA Call Center (see page 7). If your
facility has moved, do not enter your TRI Facility Identification
Number, enter "New Facility." If you are filing a separate Form
R for each establishment at your facility, you should use the
same TRI Facility Identification Number for each establishment.
The TRI Facility Identification Number is established by the first
Form R submitted by a facility at a particular location. This
identification number is retained by the facility even if the
facility changes name, ownership, production processes, SIC
codes, etc. This identification number will stay with this
location. If a new facility moves to this location it should use
this TRI Facility Identification Number. Establishments of a
facility that report separately should use the TRI Facility
Identification Number of the facility.
You should enter "New Facility" in the space for the TRI
Facility Identification number if this is your first submission.
4.2 Full or Partial Facility Indication
EPCRA section 313 requires reports by "facilities," which are
defined as "all buildings, equipment, structures, and other
stationary items which are located on a single site or on
contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by
the same person (or by any person which controls, is controlled
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 31
-------
Instructions for Completing Part I of EPA Form R
by, or under common control with such person). Afacility may
contain more than one establishment."
EPCRA section 313 defines establishment as "an economic
unit, generally at a single physical location, where business is
conducted or where services or industrial operations are
performed." Under section 372.30(c) of the reporting rule, you
may submit a separate Form R for each establishment, or for
groups of establishments in your facility, provided all releases
and other waste management activities and source reduction
activities involving the EPCRA section 313 chemical from the
entire facility are reported. This allows you the option of
reporting separately on the activities involving an EPCRA
section 313 chemical at each establishment, or group of
establishments (e.g., part of a covered facility), rather than
submitting a single Form R for that EPCRA section 313
chemical for the entire facility. However, if an establishment
or group of establishments does not manufacture, process, or
otherwise use or release or otherwise manage as waste an
EPCRA section 313 chemical, you do not have to submit a
report for that establishment or group of establishments for that
particular chemical. (See also Section B.2.a of these
instructions.)
A covered facility must report all releases and other waste
management activities and source reduction activities of an
EPCRA section 313 chemical if the facility meets a reporting
threshold for that EPCRA section 313 chemical. However, if
the facility is composed of several distinct establishments, EPA
allows these establishments to submit separate reports for the
EPCRA section 313 chemical as long as all releases and other
waste management activities of the EPCRA section 313
chemical from the entire facility are accounted for. Whether
submitting a report for the entire facility or separate reports for
the establishments, the threshold determination must be made
based on the entire facility. Indicate in Section 4.2 whether
your report is for the entire covered facility as a whole or for
part of a covered facility (i.e., one or more establishments).
Federal facilities and contractors at federal facilities
(GOCOsGovernment-owned, contractor-operated facilities)
should check either 4.2c or4.2d,butnotboth. Federal facilities
should check 4.2c, even if their TRI reports contain release and
other waste management information from contractors located
at the facility. Contractors at federal facilities, which are
required by EPCRA section 313 to file TRI reports
independently of the federal facility, should check 4.2d. This
information is important to prevent duplication of federal
facility data. (See Appendix A for further guidance on these
instructions.)
4.3 Technical Contact
Enter the name and telephone number (including area code) of
a technical representative whom EPA or state officials may
contact for clarification of the information reported on Form R.
You should also enter an email address for this person. If the
technical contact does not have an email address you should
enter NA. This contact person does not have to be the same
person who prepares the report or signs the certification
statement and does not necessarily need to be someone at the
location of the reporting facility. However, this person should
be familiar with the details of the report so that he or she can
answer questions about the information provided.
4.4 Public Contact
Enter the name and telephone number (including area code) of
a person who can respond to questions from the public about the
report. If you choose to designate the same person as both the
technical and the public contact, you may enter "Same as Section
4.3" in this space. This contact person does not have to be the
same person who prepares the report or signs the certification
statement and does not necessarily need to be someone at the
location of the reporting facility. If your facility does not have
a public contact, provide the technical contact name and
telephone number in the public contact name and telephone
number fields.
4.5 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code
Enter the appropriate four-digit Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Code that is the primary SIC Code for your
facility in Section 4.5(a). Enter any other applicable SIC Codes
for your facility in 4.5 (b)-(f). Table I lists the SIC codes within
10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39,
4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating electricity for distribution in commerce),
4931 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating electricity for distribution in commerce),
4939 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the
purpose of generating electricity for distribution in commerce),
4953 (limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C,
42U.S.C. section 6921 et seq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited
to facilities primarily engaged in solvent recovery services on a
contract or fee basis). If the report covers more than one
establishment, enter the primary 4-digit SIC code for each
establishment starting with the primary SIC code for the entire
facility. You are required to enter SIC codes only for those
establishments within the facility that fall within SIC codes 10
(except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241), 20-39, 4911
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4931
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939
(limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose
of generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953
(limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C, 42
U.S.C. section 6921 et seq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery services on a
contract or fee basis). Ifyoudo not know your SIC code, consult
the 1987 SIC Manual (see Section B.2 of these instructions for
ordering information).

Instructions for Completing Part I of EPA Form R
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
is a new economic classification system that will replace the
1987 SIC code system. EPA will address the SIC code change,
as it relates to EPCRA, in an upcoming Federal Register notice.
This upcoming change does NOT affect the 2003 EPCRA
section 313 reporting.
4.6 Latitude and Longitude
Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility.
Sources of these data include EPA permits (e.g., NPDES
permits), county property records, facility blueprints, and site
plans. You can determine the latitude and longitude of your
facility using a siting tool found on the TRI Home page or in
the TRI-ME software. For information on the siting tool and
instructions on how to determine these coordinates see
Appendix E. Enter only numerical data. Do not preface
numbers with letters such as N or W to denote the hemisphere.
Latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are very
important for pinpointing the location of reporting facilities and
are required elements on the Form R. EPA encourages
facilities to make the best possible measurements when
determining latitude and longitude. Please check to make sure
the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are
correct. For the continental United States readings should be
within 24ซ23'58" and 49ซ22'16" latitude, and 66ซ53'06" and
124ซ 50'55" longitude. For Alaska readings should be within
51ซi0'30" and 71ซ26'04" latitude, and 129ซ59'29" and
187ซ 39'08" longitude. For Hawaii readings should be within
18ซ51'56" and 28ซ30'59" latitude, and 154ซ45'21" and
178ซ 26'25" longitude. As with any other data field, missing,
suspect, or incorrect data may generate an error notice in the
Facility Data Profile to be issued to the facility. (See
Appendix C)
4.7 Dun & Bradstreet Number(s)
Enter the nine-digit number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet (D
& B) for your facility or each establishment within your
facility. These numbers code the facility forfinancialpurposes.
This number may be available from your facility's treasurer or
financial officer. You can also obtain the numbers from your
local Dun & Bradstreet office (check the telephone book White
Pages). If a facility does not subscribe to the D & B service, a
number can be obtained, toll free at 800 234-3867 (8:00 AM to
6:00 PM, Local Time) or on the Web at . If
none of your establishments has been assigned a D & B
number, you should enter NA in box (a). If only some of your
establishments have been assigned D & B numbers, enter those
numbers in Part I, section 4.7.
4.8 EPA Identification Number(s)
The EPA Identification Number is a 12-character number
assigned to facilities covered by hazardous waste regulations
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
Facilities not covered by RCRA Subtitle C are not likely to have
an assigned identification number. If your facility is not
required to have an identification number, you should enter NA
in box (a). If your facility has been assigned EPA Identification
Numbers, you must enter those numbers in the spaces provided
in Section 4.8.
4.9 NPDES Permit Number(s)
Enter the numbers of any permits your facility holds under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) even
if the permit(s) do not pertain to the EPCRA section 313
chemical being reported. This nine-character permit number is
assigned to your facility by EPA or the state under the authority
of the Clean Water Act. If your facility does not have a permit,
you should enter NA in Section 4.9a.
4.10 Underground Injection
Well Code (UIC) Identification Number(s)
If your facility has a permit to inject a waste that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical into Class 1 deep
wells, enter the 12-digit Underground Injection Well Code
(UIC) identification number assigned by EPA or by the state
under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act. If your
facility does not hold such a permit(s), you should enter NA in
Section 4. lOa. You are required to provide the UIC number for
wells that receive the EPCRA section 313 chemical being
reported in the current reporting year.
Section 5. Parent Company Information
You must provide information on your parent company. For
purposes of Form R, a parent company is defined as the highest
level company, located in the United States, that directly owns
at least 50% of the voting stock of your company. If your
facility is owned by a foreign entity, enter NA in this space.
Corporate names should be treated as parent company names for
companies with multiple facility sites. For example, the
Bestchem Corporation is not owned or controlled by any other
corporation but has sites throughout the country whose names
begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem Corporation
should be listed as the parent company. Note that a facility that
is a 50:50 joint venture is its own parent company. When a
facility is owned by more than one company and there is no
parent company for the entire facility (meaning that none of the
facility owners directly owns at least 50 percent of the voting
stock of the facility at issue), the facility should provide the
name of the parent company of either the facility operator or the
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 33
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
owner with the largest ownership interest in the facility. If
neither the operator nor this owner has a parent company, then
the NA box should be checked.
5.1 Name of Parent Company
Enter the name of the corporation or other business entity that
is your ultimate U.S. parent company. If your facility has no
parent company, you should check the NA box.
5.2 Parent Company's Dun & Bradstreet Number
Enter the D & B number for your ultimate U.S. parent
company, if applicable. The number may be obtained from the
treasurer or financial officer of the company. If your parent
company does not have a D & B number, you should check the
NA box.

If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the CAS
number or should report the category code on your unsanitized
Form R and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not include the
CAS number or category code on your sanitized Form R or
sanitized substantiation form.
1.2 EPCRA Section 313 Chemical or
Chemical Category Name
Enter the name of the EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical
category exactly as it appears in Table II. If the EPCRA section
313 chemical name is followed by a synonym in parentheses,
report the chemical by the name that directly follows the CAS
number (i.e., not the synonym). If the EPCRA section 313
chemical identity is actually a product trade name (e.g., Dicofol),
the 9th Collective Index name is listed below it in brackets. You
may report either name in this case.
Do not list the name of a chemical that does not appear in Table
II, such as individual members of an EPCRA section 313
chemical category. For example, if you use silver chloride, do
not report silver chloride with its CAS number. Report this
chemical as "silver compounds" with its category code, N740.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the
specific EPCRA section 313 chemical identity on your
unsanitized Form R and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not
report the name of the EPCRA section 313 chemical on your
sanitized Form R or sanitized substantiation form. Include a
generic name in Part II, Section 1.3 of your sanitized Form R
report.
EPA requests that the EPCRA section 313 chemical, chemical
category, or generic name also be placed in the box marked
"Toxic Chemical, Category, or Generic Name" in the upper
right-hand corner on all pages of Form R. While this space is
not a required data element, providing this information will help
you in preparing a complete Form R report.

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
1.3 Generic Chemical Name
Complete Section 1.3 only if you are claiming the specific
EPCRA section 313 chemical identity of the EPCRA section
313 chemical as a trade secret and have marked the trade secret
block in Part I, Section 2.1 on page 1 of Form R. Enter a
generic chemical name that is descriptive of the chemical
structure. You should limit the generic name to seventy
characters (e.g., numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation) or less.
Do not enter mixture names in Section 1.3; see Section 2
below.
In-house plant codes and other substitute names that are not
structurally descriptive of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
identity being withheld as a trade secret are not acceptable as a
generic name. The generic name must appear on both sanitized
and unsanitized Form Rs, and the name must be the same as
that used on your substantiation forms.
1.4 Distribution of Each Member of the Dioxin and
Dioxin-like Compounds Category
Report a distribution of the chemicals included in the dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds category. Such distribution shall
either represent the distribution of the total quantity of dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds released to all media from your
facility; or your facility's one best media-specific distribution.
When reporting dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, if there are
any numbers in boxes 1-17, then every field must be filled in
with either 0 or some number between 0.01 and 100.
Distribution should be reported in percentages and the total
should equal 100%. If you do not have speciation data
available, you should indicate NA. If you are not reporting for
dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, leave the entire section
blank.
You should not report the quantity of dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds released or otherwise managed as waste in Section
1.4. Quantities released or otherwise managed as waste must
be reported in Sections 5, 6 and 8.
There are 17 individual chemicals listed in the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds category. Each of these chemicals are
assigned a number from 1 to 17. These numbers correspond to
the boxes in Section 1.4. The individual chemicals in the
dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category and their number

Section 2. Mixture Component Identity
Do not complete this section if you have completed Section 1 of
Part II. Report the generic name provided to you by your
supplier in this section if your supplier is claiming the chemical
identity proprietary or trade secret. Do not answer "yes" in Part
I, Section 2.1 on page 1 of the form if you complete this section.
You do not need to supply trade secret substantiation forms for
this EPCRA section 313 chemical because it is your supplier
who is claiming the chemical identity a trade secret.
Example 10: Mixture Containing Unidentified
EPCRA Section 313 Chemical
Your facility uses 20,000 pounds of a solvent that your
supplier has told you contains 80% "chlorinated aromatic,"
their generic name for a non-PBT EPCRA section 313
chemical subject to reporting under EPCRA section 313.
You, therefore, have used 16,000 pounds of some EPCRA
section 313 chemical and that exceeds the "otherwise use"
threshold for a non-PBT chemical. You would file a Form
R and enter the name "chlorinated aromatic" in the space
provided in Part II, Section 2.
2.1 Generic Chemical Name Provided by Supplier
Enter the generic chemical name in this section only if the
following three conditions apply:
36 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
1. You determine that the mixture contains an EPCRA
section 313 chemical but the only identity you have for
that chemical is a generic name;
2. You know either the specific concentration of that
EPCRA section 313 chemical component or a maximum
or average concentration level; and
3. You multiply the concentration level by the total annual
amount of the whole mixture processed or otherwise used
and determine that you meet the process or otherwise use
threshold for that single, genetically identified mixture
component.
Section 3. Activities and Uses of the EPCRA
Section 313 Chemical at the Facility
Indicate whether the EPCRA section 313 chemical is
manufactured (including imported), processed, or otherwise
used at the facility and the general nature of such activities and
uses at the facility during the calendar year (see figure 3). You
are not required to report on Form R the quantity manufactured,
processed or otherwise used. Report activities that take place
only at your facility, not activities that take place at other
facilities involving your products. You must check all the
boxes in this section that apply. Refer to the definitions of
"manufacture," "process," and "otherwise use" in the general
information section of these instructions or Part 40, Section
372.3 of the Code of Federal Regulations for additional
explanations.
3.1 Manufacture the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical
Persons who manufacture (including import) the EPCRA
section 313 chemical must check at least one of the following:
a. Produce The EPCRA section 313 chemical is
produced at the facility.
b. Import The EPCRA section 313 chemical is imported
by the facility into the Customs Territory of the United
States. (See SectionB.S.aoftheseinstructionsforfurther
clarification of import.)
And check at least one of the following:
c. For on-site use/processing The EPCRA section 313
chemical is produced or imported and then further
processed or otherwise used at the same facility. If you
check this block, generally you should also check at least
one item in Part II, Section 3.2 or 3.3.
d. For sale/distribution The EPCRA section 313
chemical is produced or imported specifically for sale or
distribution outside the manufacturing facility.
e. As a byproduct The EPCRA section 313 chemical is
produced coincidentally during the manufacture,
processing, or otherwise use of another chemical substance
or mixture and, following its production, is separated from
that other chemical substance or mixture. EPCRA section
313 chemicals produced as a result of waste management
are also considered byproducts.
f. As an impurity The EPCRA section 313 chemical is
produced coincidentally as a result of the manufacture,
processing, or otherwise use of another chemical but is not
separated and remains in the mixture or other trade name
product with that other chemical.
In summary, if you are a manufacturer of the EPCRA section
313 chemical, you must check (a) and/or (b), and at least one of
(c), (d), (e), and (f) in Section 3.1.
3.2 Process the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical
Persons who process the EPCRA section 313 chemical must
check at least one of the following:
a. As a reactant A natural or synthetic EPCRA section
313 chemical is used in chemical reactions for the
manufacture of another chemical substance or of a product.
Includes but is not limited to, feedstocks, raw materials,
intermediates, and initiators.
b. As a formulation component An EPCRA section 313
chemical is added to a product (or product mixture) prior
to further distribution of the product that acts as a
performance enhancer during use of the product.
Examples of EPCRA section 313 chemicals used in this
capacity include, but are not limited to, additives, dyes,
reaction diluents, initiators, solvents, inhibitors,
emulsifiers, surfactants, lubricants, flame retardants, and
rheological modifiers.
c. As an article component An EPCRA section 313
chemical becomes an integral component of an article
distributed for industrial, trade, or consumer use. One
example is the pigment components of paint applied to a
chair that is sold.
d. RepackagingThis consists of processing orpreparation
of an EPCRA section 313 chemical (or product mixture)
for distribution in commerce in a different form, state, or
quantity. This includes, but is not limited to, the transfer
of material from a bulk container, such as a tank truck to
smaller containers such as cans or bottles.
e. As an impurity The EPCRA section 313 chemical is
processed but is not separated and remains in the mixture
or other trade name product with that/those other
chemical(s).

Example 11: Manufacturing and Processing Activities
of EPCRA Section 313 Chemicals
In the two examples below, it is assumed that the threshold
quantities for manufacture, process, or otherwise use (25,000
pounds, 25,000 pounds, and 10,000 pounds, respectively for
non-PBT chemicals; 100 pounds for certain PBT chemicals;
10 pounds for highly persistent, highly bioaccumulative
toxic chemicals; and 0.1 grams for the PBT chemical
category comprised of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds)
have been exceeded and the reporting of EPCRA section 313
chemicals is therefore required.
1. Your facility manufactures diazomethane. Fifty percent
is sold as a product, thus it is processed. The remaining 50%
is reacted with alpha-naphthylamine, forming N-methyl-
alpha-naphthylamine and also producing nitrogen gas.
Your company manufactures diazomethane, an
EPCRA section 313 chemical, both for sale/
distribution as a commercial product and for on-site
use/processing as a feedstock in the N-methyl-alpha-
naphthylamine production process. Because the
diazomethane is a reactant, it is also processed. See
Figure 3 for how this information would be reported in
Part II, Section 3 of Form R.
Your facility also processes alpha-naphthylamine, as a
reactant to produce N-methyl-alpha-naphthylamine, a
chemical not on the EPCRA section 313 list.
2. Your facility is a commercial distributor of Missouri
bituminous coal, which contains mercury at 1.5 ppm (w:w).
You should check the box on the Form R at Part II, Section
3.2.e for processing mercury as an impurity.
3.3 Otherwise Use the EPCRA Section 313 Chemical (non-
incorporative activities)
Persons who otherwise use the EPCRA section 313 chemical
must check at least one of the following:
a. As a chemical processing aid An EPCRA section 313
chemical that is added to a reaction mixture to aid in the
manufacture or synthesis of another chemical substance
but is not intended to remain in or become part of the
product or product mixture is otherwise used as chemical
processing aid. Examples of such EPCRA section 313
chemicals include, but are not limited to, process solvents,
catalysts, inhibitors, initiators, reaction terminators, and
solution buffers.
b. As a manufacturing aid An EPCRA section 313
chemical that aids the manufacturing process but does not
become part of the resulting product and is not added to
the reaction mixture during the manufacture or synthesis
of another chemical substance is otherwise used as a
manufacturing aid. Examples include, but are not limited
to, process lubricants, metalworking fluids, coolants,
refrigerants, and hydraulic fluids.
c. Ancillary or other use An EPCRA section 313
chemical is used at a facility for purposes other than aiding
chemical processing or manufacturing as described above
is otherwise used as ancillary or other use. Examples
include, but are not limited to, cleaners, degreasers,
lubricants, fuels, EPCRA section 313 chemicals used for
treating wastes, and EPCRA section 313 chemicals used to
treat water at the facility.
Section 4. Maximum Amount of the EPCRA
Section 313 Chemical On-site at Any Time During
the Calendar Year
For data element 4.1 of Part II, insert the code (see codes below)
that indicates the maximum quantity of the EPCRA section 313
chemical (e.g., in storage tanks, process vessels, on-site shipping
containers, or in wastes generated) at your facility at any time
during the calendar year. If the EPCRA section 313 chemical
was present at several locations within your facility, use the
maximum total amount present at the entire facility at any one
time. While range reporting is not allowed for PBT chemicals
elsewhere on the Form R, range reporting for PBT chemicals is
allowed for Maximum Amount On Site.

your facility may have prepared under Section 312 of
EPCRA. See Part 40, Section 372.30(b) of the Code of
Federal Regulations for further information on how to
calculate the weight of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the mixture or other trade name product. For EPCRA section
313 chemical categories (e.g., nickel compounds), include all
chemical compounds in the category when calculating the
maximum amount, using the entire weight of each
compound. When reporting for dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds you should convert the maximum amount from
grams to pounds before choosing the appropriate range code
in Section 4 of Part II.
If the EPCRA section 313 chemical present at your facility
was part of a mixture or other trade name product, determine
the maximum quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
present at the facility by calculating the weight percent of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical only.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 39
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Section 5. Quantity of the EPCRA Section 313
Chemical Entering Each Environmental
Medium On-site
In Section 5, you must account for the total aggregate on-site
releases of the EPCRA section 313 chemical to the
environment from your facility for the calendar year.
On-site releases to the environment include emissions to the
air, discharges to surface waters, and releases to land and
underground injection wells.
For all toxic chemicals (except the dioxin and dioxin-like
compound category), do not enter the values in Section 5 in
gallons, tons, liters, or any measure other than pounds. You
must also enter the values as whole numbers (do not use
scientific notation). Numbers following a decimal point are
not acceptable for toxic chemicals other than those
designated as PBT chemicals. For PBT chemicals, facilities
should report release and other waste management quantities
greater than 0.1 pound (except the dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds category) provided the accuracy and the
underlying data on which the estimate is based supports this
level of precision. For the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds
category, facilities should report at a level of precision
supported by the accuracy of the underlying data and the
estimation techniques on which the estimate is based. For
the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds chemical category,
which has a reporting threshold of 0.1 gram, facilities need
only report all release and other waste management quantities
greater than 100 micrograms (i.e., 0.0001 grams). (See
example 12). Notwithstanding the numeric precision used
when determining reporting eligibility thresholds, facilities
should report on Form R to the level of accuracy that their
data supports, up to seven digits to the right of the decimal.
EPA's reporting software and data management systems
support data precision up to seven digits to the right of the
decimal.
Example 12: Reporting Dioxins and
Dioxin-Like Compounds
If the total quantity for Section 5.2 of the FormR (i.e.,
stack or point air emissions) is 0.00005 grams or less,
then zero can be entered. If the total quantity is
between 0.00005 and 0.0001 grams then 0.0001 grams
can be entered or the actual number can be entered
(e.g., 0.000075).
NA vs. a Numeric Value (e.g., Zero). Generally, NA is
applicable if the waste stream that contains or contained the
EPCRA section 313 chemical is not directed to the relevant
environmental medium, or if leaks, spills and fugitive
emissions cannot occur. If the waste stream that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical is directed to the
environmental medium, or if leaks, spills or fugitive
emissions can occur, NA should not be used, even if
treatment or emission controls result in a release of zero. If
the annual aggregate release of that chemical was equal to or
less than 0.5 pound, the value reported is zero (unless the
chemical is a listed PBT chemical).
For Section 5.1, NA generally is not applicable for volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). For Section 5.5.4, NA
generally would not be applicable, recognizing the possibility
of accidental spills or leaks of the EPCRA section 313
chemical.
An example that illustrates the use of NA vs. a numeric value
(e.g., zero) would be nitric acid involved in a facility's
processing activities. If the facility neutralizes the wastes
containing nitric acid to a pH of 6 or above, then the facility
reports a release of zero for the EPCRA section 313
chemical, not NA. Another example is when the facility has
no underground injection well, in which case NA should be
entered in Part I, Section 4.10 and checked in Part II, Section
5.4.1 and 5.4.2 of Form R. Also, if the facility does not
landfill the acidic waste, NA should be checked in Part II,
Section 5.5.1 .B of Form R.
All releases of the EPCRA section 313 chemical to the air
must be classified as either stack or fugitive emissions, and
included in the total quantity reported for these releases in
Sections 5.1 and 5.2. Instructions for columns A, B, and C
follow the discussions of Sections 5.1 through 5.5.
5.1 Fugitive or Non-Point Air Emissions
Report the total of all releases of the EPCRA section 313
chemical to the air that are not released through stacks, vents,
ducts, pipes, or any other confined air stream. You must
include (1) fugitive equipment leaks from valves, pump seals,
flanges, compressors, sampling connections, open-ended
lines, etc.; (2) evaporative losses from surface impoundments
and spills; (3) releases frombuilding ventilation systems; and
(4) any other fugitive or non-point air emissions.
Engineering estimates and mass balance calculations (using
purchase records, inventories, engineering knowledge or
process specifications of the quantity of the EPCRA section
313 chemical entering product, hazardous waste manifests,
or monitoring records) may be useful in estimating fugitive
emissions. You should check the NA box in Section 5.1 if
you do not engage in activities that result in fugitive or non-
point air emissions of this listed toxic chemical. For VOCs,
NA generally would not be applicable.
5.2 Stack or Point Air Emissions
Report the total of all releases of the EPCRA section 313
chemical to the air that occur through stacks, confined vents,
40 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
ducts, pipes, or other confined air streams. You must include
storage tank emissions. Air releases from air pollution
control equipment would generally fall in this category.
Monitoring data, engineering estimates, and mass balance
calculations may help you to complete this section. You
should check the NA box in Section 5.2 if there are no stack
air activities involving the waste stream that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical.
5.3 Discharges to Receiving Streams or Water Bodies
In Section 5.3 you are to enter all the names of the streams or
water bodies to which your facility directly discharges the
EPCRA section 313 chemical on which you are reporting. A
total of three spaces is provided on page 2 of Form R. Enter
the name of each receiving stream or surface water body to
which the EPCRA section 313 chemical being reported is
directly discharged. Report the name of the receiving stream
or water body as it appears on the permit for the facility. If
the stream is not included in the NPDES permit or its name
is not identified in the NPDES permit, enter the name of the
off-site stream or water body by which it is publicly known
or enter the first publicly named water body to which the
receiving waters are a tributary, if the receiving waters are
unnamed. Do not list a series of streams through which the
EPCRA section 313 chemical flows. Be sure to include all
the receiving streams orwater bodies that receive stormwater
runoff from your facility. Do not enter names of streams to
which off-site treatment plants discharge. You should enter
NA in Section 5.3.1 if there are no discharges to receiving
streams or water bodies of the waste stream that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical (See discussion
of NAvs. aNumeric Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of
Section 5).
Enter the total annual amount of the EPCRA section 313
chemical released from all discharge points at the facility to
each receiving stream or water body. Include process
outfalls such as pipes and open trenches, releases from on-
site wastewater treatment systems, and the contribution from
stormwater runoff, if applicable (see instructions for column
C below). Do not include discharges to a POTW or other
off-site wastewater treatment facilities in this section. These
off-site transfers must be reported in Part II, Section 6 of
Form R. Wastewater analyses and flowmeter data may
provide the quantities you will need to complete this section.
Discharges of listed acids (e.g., hydrogen fluoride, nitric
acid) may be reported as zero if the discharges have been
neutralized to pH 6 or above. If wastewater containing a
listed acid is discharged below pH 6, then releases of the acid
must be reported. In this case, pH measurements may be
used to estimate the amount of mineral acid released.
5.4.1 Underground Injection On-Site to Class I Wells
Enter the total amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
that was injected into Class I wells at the facility. Chemical
analyses, injection rate meters, and RCRA Hazardous Waste
Generator Reports are good sources for obtaining data that
will be useful in completing this section. You should check
the NA box in Section 5.4.1 if you do not inject the waste
stream that contains or contained the EPCRA section 313
chemical into Class I underground wells (See discussion of
NA vs. a Numeric Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of
Section 5).
5.4.2 Underground Injection On-site to
Class II-V Wells
Enter the total amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
that was injected into wells at the facility other than Class I
wells. Chemical analyses and injection rate meters are good
sources for obtaining data that will be useful in completing
this section. You should check the NA box in Section 5.4.2
if you do not inject the waste stream that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical into Class II-V
underground wells (See discussion of NA vs. a Numeric
Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of Section 5).
5.5 Disposal to Land On-site
Five predefined subcategories for reporting quantities
released to land within the boundaries of the facility are
provided. Do not report land disposal at off-site locations in
this section. Accident histories and spill records may be
useful (e.g., release notification reports required under
section 304 of EPCRA, section 103 of CERCLA, and
accident histories required under section 112(r)(7)(B)(ii) of
the Clean Air Act). Where relevant, you should check the
NA box in sections 5.5.1 A through 5.5.3 if there are no
disposal activities for the waste stream that contains or
contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical (See discussion
of NAvs. aNumeric Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of
Section 5). For 5.5.4, facilities generally should report zero,
recognizing the potential for spills or leaks.
5.5.1 A RCRA Subtitle C landfills Enter the total amount
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical that was placed in
RCRA Subtitle C landfills. EPA has not required facilities
to estimate leaks from landfills because the amount of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical has already been reported as a
release.
5.5. IB Other landfills Enter the total amount of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical that was placed in landfills
other than RCRA Subtitle C landfills. EPA has not required
facilities to estimate leaks from landfills because the amount
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical has already been
reported as a release.

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
5.5.2 Land treatment/application farming Land
treatment is a disposal method in which a waste containing
an EPCRA section 313 chemical is applied onto or
incorporated into soil. While this disposal method is
considered a release to land, any volatilization of EPCRA
section 313 chemicals into the air occurring during the
disposal operation must not be included in this section but
must be included in the total fugitive air releases reported in
Part II, Section 5.1 of Form R.
Surface Impoundments A surface impoundment is a
natural topographic depression, man-made excavation, or
diked area formed primarily of earthen materials (although
some may be lined with man-made materials), that is
designed to hold an accumulation of liquid wastes or wastes
containing free liquids. Examples of surface impoundments
are holding, settling, storage, and elevation pits; ponds, and
lagoons. If the pit, pond, or lagoon is intended for storage or
holding without discharge, it would be considered to be a
surface impoundment used as a final disposal method. A
facility must determine, to the best of its ability, the
percentage of a volatile chemical, e.g., benzene, that is in
waste sent to a surface impoundment that evaporates during
the reporting year. The facility must report this as a fugitive
air emission in section 5.1. The balance should be reported
in either section 5.5.3A or 5.5.3B.
Quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical released to
surface impoundments that are used merely as part of a
wastewater treatment process generally should not be
reported in this section. However, if an impoundment
accumulates sludges containing the EPCRA section 313
chemical, you must include an estimate in this section unless
the sludges are removed and otherwise disposed (in which
case they must be reported under the appropriate section of
the form). For the purposes of this reporting, storage tanks
are not considered to be a type of disposal and are not to be
reported in this section of Form R.
5.5.3A RCRA Subtitle C Surface ImpoundmentsEnter
the total amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical that
was placed in RCRA Subtitle C surface impoundments.
5.5.3B Other Surface Impoundments Enter the total
amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical that was placed
in surface impoundments other than RCRA Subtitle C
surface impoundments.
5.5.4 Other Disposal Includes any amount of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical released to land that does not fit the
categories of landfills, land treatment, or surface
impoundment. This other disposal would include any spills
or leaks of EPCRA section 313 chemicals to land. For
example, 2,000 pounds of benzene leaks from an
underground pipeline into the land at a facility. Because the
pipe was only a few feet from the surface at the erupt point,
30% of the benzene evaporates into the air. The 600 pounds
released to the air would be reported as a fugitive air release
(Part II, Section 5.1) and the remaining 1,400 pounds would
be reported as a release to land, other disposal (Part II,
Section 5.5.4).
Section 5 Column A: Total Release
Only on-site releases of the EPCRA section 313 chemical to
the environment for the calendar year are to be reported in
this section of Form R. The total on-site releases from your
facility do not include transfers or shipments of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical from your facility for sale or
distribution in commerce, or of wastes to other facilities for
disposal, treatment, energy recovery, or recycling (see Part
II, Section 6 of these Instructions). Both routine releases,
such as fugitive air emissions, and accidental or non-routine
releases, such as chemical spills, must be included in your
estimate of the quantity released.
Releases of Less Than 1,000 Pounds. For total annual
releases or off-site transfers of an EPCRA section 313
chemical from the facility of less than 1,000 pounds, the
amount may be reported either as an estimate or by using the
range codes that have been developed (range reporting in
section 5 does not apply to PBT chemicals). The reporting
range codes to be used are:
Code
A
B
C
Range (pounds)
1-10
11-499
500-999
Do not enter a range code and an estimate in the same box in
column A. Total annual on-site releases of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical from the facility of less than 1 pound
may be reported in one of several ways. You should round
the value to the nearest pound. If the estimate is greater than
0.5 pound, you should either enter the range code "A" for
"1-10" or enter"!" in column A. If the release is equal to or
less than 0.5 pound, you may round to zero and enter "0" in
column A.
Note that total annual releases of 0.5 pound or less from the
processing or otherwise use of an article maintain the article
status of that item. Thus, if the only releases you have are
from processing an article, and such releases are equal to or
less than 0.5 pound per year, you are not required to submit
a report for that EPCRA section 313 chemical. The 0.5-
pound release determination does not apply to just a single
article. It applies to the cumulative releases from the
processing or otherwise use of the same type of article (e.g.,
sheet metal or plastic film) that occurs over the course of the
reporting year.
42 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Releases of 1,000 Pounds or More. For releases to any
medium that amount to 1,000 pounds or more for the year,
you must provide an estimate in pounds per year in column
A. Any estimate provided in column A need not be reported
to more than two significant figures. This estimate should be
in whole numbers. Do not use decimal points.
Calculating On-Site Releases. To provide the release
information in column A EPCRA section 313(g)(2) requires
a facility to use readily available data (including monitoring
data) collected pursuant to other provisions of law, or, where
such data are not readily available, "reasonable estimates" of
the amounts involved. If available data (including
monitoring data) are known to be nonrepresentative, facilities
must make reasonable estimates using the best readily
available information.
Reasonable estimates of the amounts released should be
made using published emission factors, material balance
calculations, or engineering calculations. You may not use
emission factors or calculations to estimate releases if more
accurate data are available.
No additional monitoring or measurement of the quantities or
concentrations of any EPCRA section 313 chemical released
into the environment, or of the frequency of such releases,
beyond that required under other provisions of law or
regulation or as part of routine plant operations, is required
for the purpose of completing Form R.
You must estimate the quantity (in pounds) of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical or chemical category that is released
annually to each environmental medium on-site. Include
only the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in this
estimate. If the EPCRA section 313 chemical present atyour
facility was part of a mixture or other trade name product,
calculate only the releases of the EPCRA section 313
chemical, not the other components of the mixture or other
trade name product. If you are only able to estimate the
releases of the mixture or other trade name product as a
whole, you should assume that the release of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical is proportional to its concentration in
the mixture or other trade name product. See Part 40,
Section 372.30(b) of the Code of Federal Regulations for
further information on how to calculate the concentration and
weight of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the mixture or
other trade name product.
If you are reporting an EPCRA section 313 chemical
category listed in Table II of these instructions rather than a
specific EPCRA section 313 chemical, you must combine the
release data for all chemicals in the EPCRA section 313
chemical category (e.g., all listed members of certain glycol
ethers or all listed members of chlorophenols) and report the
aggregate amount for that EPCRA section 313 chemical in
that category separately. For example, if your facility
releases 3,000 pounds per year of 2-chlorophenol, 4,000
pounds per year of 3-chlorophenol, and 4,000 pounds per
year of 4-chlorophenol to air as fugitive emissions, you must
report that your facility releases 11,000 pounds per year of
chlorophenols to air as fugitive emissions in Part II, Section
5.1.
For aqueous ammonia solutions, releases must be reported
based on 10% of total aqueous ammonia. Ammonia
evaporating from aqueous ammonia solutions is considered
to be anhydrous ammonia; therefore, 100% of the anhydrous
ammonia should be reported if it is released to the
environment. For dissociable nitrate compounds, release
estimates should be based on the weight of the nitrate only.
Formetal category compounds (e.g., chromium compounds),
report releases of only the parent metal. For example, a user
of various inorganic chromium salts would report the total
chromium released regardless of the chemical compound
and exclude any contribution to mass made by the other
portion of the compound.
Section 5 Column B: Basis of Estimate
For each release estimate, you are required to indicate the
principal method used to determine the amount of release
reported. You should enter a letter code that identifies the
method that applies to the largest portion of the total
estimated release quantity.
The codes are as follows:
M Estimate is based on monitoring data or measurements
for the EPCRA section 313 chemical.
C Estimate is based on mass balance calculations, such as
calculation of the amount of the EPCRA section 313
chemical in wastes entering and leaving process
equipment.
E Estimate is based on published emission factors, such
as those relating release quantity to through-put or
equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
O Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimatingvolatilization
using published mathematical formulas) or best
engineering judgment. This would include applying an
estimated removal efficiency to a treatment, even if the
composition of the waste before treatment was fully
identified through monitoring data.
For example, if 40% of stack emissions of the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical were derived using monitoring
data, 30% by mass balance, and 30% by emission factors,
you should enter the code letter "M" for monitoring.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 43
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
If the monitoring data, mass balance, or emission factor used
to estimate the release is not specific to the EPCRA section
313 chemical being reported, the form should identify the
estimate as based on engineering calculations or best
engineering judgment (O).
If a mass balance calculation yields the flow rate of a waste,
but the quantity of reported EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the waste is based on solubility data, you should report "O"
because "engineering calculations" were used as the basis of
estimate of the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
in the waste.
If the concentration of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the waste was measured by monitoring equipment and the
flow rate of the waste was determined by mass balance, then
the primary basis of the estimate should be "monitoring"
(M). Even though a mass balance calculation also contributed
to the estimate, "monitoring" should be indicated because
monitoring data were used to estimate the concentration of
the waste.
Mass balance (C) should only be indicated if it is directly
used to calculate the mass (weight) of EPCRA section 313
chemical released. Monitoring data should be indicated as
the basis of estimate only if the EPCRA section 313 chemical
concentration is measured in the waste being released into
the environment. Monitoring data should not be indicated,
for example, if the monitoring data relate to a concentration
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in other process streams
within the facility.
It is important to realize that the accuracy and proficiency of
release estimation will improve over time. However,
submitters are not required to use new emission factors or
estimation techniques to revise previous Form R
submissions.
Section 5 Column C: Percent From Stormwater
This column relates only to Section 5.3discharges to
receiving streams or water bodies. If your facility has
monitoring data on the amount of the EPCRA section 313
chemical in stormwater runoff (including unchanneled
runoff), you must include that quantity of the EPCRA section
313 chemical in your water release in column A and indicate
the percentage of the total quantity (by weight) of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical contributed by stormwater in
column C (Section 5.3C).
If your facility has monitoring data on the EPCRA section
313 chemical and an estimate of flow rate, you must use
these data to determine the percent stormwater.
If you have monitored stormwater but did not detect the
EPCRA section 313 chemical, enter zero in column C. If
your facility has no stormwater monitoring data for the
chemical, you should enter NA in this space on the form.
If your facility does not have periodic measurements of
stormwater releases of the EPCRA section 313 chemical, but
has submitted chemical-specific monitoring data in permit
applications, then these data must be used to calculate the
percent contribution from stormwater. One way to calculate
the flow rates from stormwater runoff is the Rational
Method. In this method, flow rates, Q, can be estimated by
multiplying the land area of the facility, A, by the runoff
coefficient, C, and then multiplying that figure by the annual
rainfall intensity, I (i.e., Q = A*C*I). The rainfall intensity,
I, is specific to the geographical area of the country where
the facility is located, and may be obtained from most
standard engineering manuals for hydrology. The flow rate,
Q, will have volumetric dimensions per unit time, and will
have to be converted to units of pounds per year. The runoff
coefficient represents the fraction of rainfall that does not
seep into the ground but runs off as stormwater. The runoff
coefficient is directly related to how the land in the drainage
area is used. (See table below)

You should choose the most appropriate runoff coefficient
for your site or calculate a weighted-average coefficient,
which takes into account different types of land use at your
facility:
44 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Weighted-average runoff coefficient =
(Area 1 % of total)(Cl) + (Area 2 % of total)(C2) +
(Area 3 % of total)(C3) + ... + (Area i % of total)(Ci)
where
Ci = runoff coefficient for a specific land use of
Area i.
Example 13: Stormwater Runoff
Your facility is located in a semi-arid region of the United States that has an annual precipitation (including snowfall) of 12
inches of rain. (Snowfall should be converted to the equivalent inches of rain; assume one foot of snow is equivalent to one
inch of rain.) The total area covered by your facility is 42 acres (about 170,000 square meters or 1,829,520 square feet). The
area of your facility is 50% unimproved area, 10% asphaltic streets, and 40% concrete pavement.
The total Stormwater runoff from your facility is therefore calculated as follows:
Runoff
Land Use % Total Area Coefficient
Unimproved area 50 0.20
Asphaltic streets 10 0.85
Concrete pavement 40 0.90
Weighted-average runoff coefficient = [(50%) x (0.20)] + [(10%) x (0.85)] + [(40%) x (0.90)] = 0.545
(Rainfall) x (land area) x (conversion factor) x (runoff coefficient) = Stormwater runoff
(1 ft/year) x (1,829,520 ft2) x (7.48 gal/ft3) x (0.545) = 7,458,222 gallons/year
Total Stormwater runoff = 7,458,222 gallons/year
Your Stormwater monitoring data shows that the average concentration of zinc in the Stormwater runoff from your facility from
a biocide containing a zinc compound is 1.4 milligrams per liter. The total amount of zinc discharged to surface water through
the plant wastewater discharge (non-stormwater) is 250 pounds per year. The total amount of zinc discharged with Stormwater
is:
(7,458,222 gallons stormwater)x(3.785 liters/gallon) = 28,229,370 liters Stormwater
(28,229,370 liters stormwater)x(1.4 mg zinc/liter) x 10~3 g/mg x (1/454) Ib/g = 87 Ib zinc.
The total amount of zinc discharged from all sources of your facility is:
250 pounds zinc from wastewater discharged
+87 pounds zinc from Stormwater runoff
337 pounds zinc total water discharged
The percentage of zinc discharge through Stormwater reported in section 5.3 column C on Form R is:
(87/337)xlOO% = 26%

Section 6. Transfers of the EPCRA Section
313 Chemical in Wastes to Off-Site Locations
You must report in this section the total annual quantity of
the EPCRA section 313 chemical in wastes sent to any off-
site facility for the purposes of disposal, treatment, energy
recovery, or recycling. Report the total amount of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical transferred off-site after any
on-site waste treatment, recycling, or removal is completed.
For all toxic chemicals (except the dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds category), do not enter the values in Section 6 in
gallons, tons, liters, or any measure other than pounds. You
must also enter the values as whole numbers. Numbers
following a decimal point are not acceptable for toxic
chemicals otherthanthose designated as PBT chemicals. For
PBT chemicals, facilities should report release and other
waste management quantities greater than 0.1 pound (except
the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category) provided the
accuracy and the underlying data on which the estimate is
based supports this level of precision. For the dioxin and
dioxin-like compounds category, facilities should report at a
level of precision supported by the accuracy of the
underlying data and the estimation techniques on which the
estimate is based. However, the smallest quantity that need
be reported on the Form R for the dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds category is 0.0001 grams (See example 12 on
page 40). Notwithstanding the numeric precision used when
determining reporting eligibility thresholds, facilities should
report on Form R to the level of accuracy that their data
supports, up to seven digits to the right of the decimal. EP A's
reporting software and data management systems support
data precision to seven digits to the right of the decimal.
NA vs. a Numeric Value (e.g., Zero). You must enter a
numeric value if you transfer an EPCRA section 313
chemical to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) or
transfer wastes containing that toxic chemical to other off-
site locations. If the aggregate amount transferred was less
than 0.5 pound, then you should enter zero (unless the
chemical is listed as a PBT chemical). Also report zero for
transfers of listed mineral acids (i.e., hydrogen fluoride and
nitric acid) if they have been neutralized to a pH of 6 or
above prior to discharge to a POTW; do not check NA.
However, if you do not discharge wastewater containing the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical to a POTW, you
should enter NA in the box for the POTW' s name in Section
6. l.B._ If you do not ship or transfer wastes containing the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical to other off-site
locations, you should enter NA in the box for the off-site
location's EPA Identification Number in Section 6.2._.
Important: You must number the boxes for reporting the
information for each POTW or other off-site location in
Sections 6.1 and 6.2. In the upper left hand corner of each
box, the section number is either 6. l.B._. or 6.2._.
If you report a transfer of the listed EPCRA section 313
chemical to one or more POTWs, you should number the
boxes in Section 6.1.B as 6.1.B.1_, 6.1.B.2, etc. If you
transfer the EPCRA section 313 chemical to more than two
POTWs, you should photocopy page 3 of Form R as many
times as necessary and then number the boxes consecutively
for each POTW. At the bottom of Part II Section 6.1 of the
Form R you will find instructions for indicating the total
number of page 3 s that you are submitting as part of Form R,
as well as indicating the sequence of those pages. For
example, your facility transfers the reported EPCRA section
313 chemical in wastewaters to three POTWs. You would
photocopy page 3 once, indicate at the bottom of each page
3 that there are a total of two page 3s and then indicate the
first and second page 3. The boxes for the two POTWs on
the first page 3 should be numbered 6.I.B.I and 6.1.B.2,
while the box for third POTW on the second page 3 should
be numbered 6.I.B.3..
If you report a transfer of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
to one or more other off-site locations, you should number
the boxes in section 6.2 as 6.2.1, 6.2.2, etc. If you transfer
the EPCRA section 313 chemical to more than two other off-
site locations, you should photocopy page 4 of Form R as
many times as necessary and then number the boxes
consecutively for each off-site location. At the bottom of
page 4 you will find instructions for indicating the total
number of page 4s that you are submitting as part of Form R
as well as indicating the sequence of those pages. For
example, your facility transfers the reported EPCRA section
313 chemical to three other off-site locations. You should
photocopy page 4 once, indicate at the bottom of Section 6.2
on each page 4 that there are a total of two page 4s and then
indicate the first and second page 4. The boxes for the two
off-site locations on the first page 4 wouldbe numbered6.2.1
and 6.2.2, while the box for the third off-site location on the
second page 4 should be numbered 6.2.3.
6.1 Discharges to Publicly Owned Treatment Works
In Section 6. LA, estimate the quantity of the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical transferred to all publicly
owned treatment works (POTWs) and the basis upon which
the estimate was made. In Section 6. I.E., you should enter
the name and address for each POTW to which your facility
discharges or otherwise transfers wastewater containing the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical. The most common
transfers of this type will be conveyances of the toxic
chemical in facility wastewater through underground sewage
pipes; however, materials may also be trucked or transferred
via some other direct methods to a POTW.
46 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
If you do not discharge wastewater containing the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical to a POTW, enter NA in the
box for the POTW's name in Section 6. l.B._ (See discussion
of NAvs. aNumeric Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of
Section 6).
6.1.A.1 Total Transfers
Enter the total amount, in pounds, of the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical that is contained in the wastewaters
transferred to all POTWs. Do not enter the total poundage of
the wastewaters. If the total amount transferred is less than
1,000 pounds, you may report a range by entering the
appropriate range code (range reporting in section 6.I.A.I
does not apply to PBT chemicals). The following reporting
range codes are to be used:
Code
A
B
C
Reporting Range (in pounds)
1-10
11-499
500-999
6.1.A.2 Basis of Estimate
You must identify the basis for your estimate of the total
quantity of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical in the
wastewater transferred to all POTWs. You should enter one
of the following letter codes that applies to the method by
which the largest percentage of the estimate was derived.
M Estimate is based on monitoring data or measurements
for the EPCRA section 313 chemical as transferred to
an off-site facility.
C Estimate is based on mass balance calculations, such as
calculation of the amount of the EPCRA section 313
chemical in streams entering and leaving process
equipment.
E Estimate is based on published emission factors, such
as those relating release quantity to through-put or
equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
O Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatilization
using published mathematical formulas) or best
engineering judgment. This would include applying an
estimated removal efficiency to a waste stream, even if
the composition of the stream before treatment was
fully identified through monitoring data.
If you transfer an EPCRA section 313 chemical to more than
one POTW, you should report the basis of estimate that was
used to determine the largest percentage of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical that was transferred.
6.2 Transfers to Other Off-Site Locations
In Section 6.2 enter the EPA Identification Number, name,
and address for each off-site location to which your facility
ships or transfers wastes containing the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical for the purposes of disposal, treatment,
energy recovery, or recycling. Also estimate the quantity of
the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical transferred and
the basis upon which the estimate was made. This would
include any residual chemicals in "empty" containers
transferred off-site. EPA expects that all containers (bags,
totes, drums, tank trucks, etc.) will have a small amount of
residual solids and/or liquids. Please see Example 14 on
page 48 for residue quantities left in drums and tanks when
emptied.
If appropriate, you must report multiple activities for each
off-site location. For example, if your facility sends a
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical in a single waste
stream to an off-site location where some of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical is to be recycled while the remainder of
the quantity transferred is to be treated, you must report both
the waste treatment and recycle activities, along with the
quantity associated with each activity.
If your facility transfers an EPCRA section 313 chemical to
an off-site location and that off-site location performs more
than four activities on that chemical, provide the necessary
information in Box 6.2.1 for the off-site facility and the first
four activities. Provide the information on the remainder of
the activities in Box 6.2.2 and provide again the off-site
facility identification and location information.
If you do not ship or transfer wastes containing the EPCRA
section 313 chemical to other off-site locations, you should
enter NA (See discussion of NA vs. a Numeric Value (e.g.,
Zero) in the introduction of Section 6) in the box for the off-
site location's EPA Identification Number (defined in 40
CFR 260.10 and therefore commonly referred to as the
RCRA ID Number). This number may be found on the
Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, which is required by
RCRA regulations. If you ship or transfer wastes containing
an EPCRA section 313 chemical and the off-site location
does not have an EPA Identification Number (e.g., it does
not accept RCRA hazardous wastes) enter NA in the box for
the off-site location EPA Identification Number. If you ship
or transfer hazardous wastes, containing an EPCRA section
313 chemical, to a facility that treats, stores, or disposes
RCRA hazardous wastes, make sure to include that facility's
RCRA Identification Number in the box for the off-site
location EPA Identification Number. This RCRA ID is
shown on the RCRA manifest that must accompany the
hazardous waste to the off-site facility.
If you ship or transfer the reported EPCRA section 313
chemical in wastes to another country, you do not need to
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 47
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
report a RCRA ID for that waste. You should indicate NA
in the RCRA ID field. Enter the complete address of the
non-U.S. facility in the off-site address fields, the city in the
city field, the non-U.S. state or province in the county field,
the postal code in the zip code field, and the foreign country
code in the country field. The most commonly used FIPs
codes are listed in Table IV. To obtain a FIPS code for a
country not listed, contact the EPCRA Call Center. There is
nothing to enter in the state field.
6.2a Column A: Total Transfers
For each off-site location, enter the total amount, in pounds
(in grams for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds), of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical that is contained in the waste
transferred to that location. Do not enter the total
poundage of the waste. If you do not ship or transfer wastes
containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical to other off-site
locations, you should enter NA (See discussion of NA vs. a
Numeric Value (e.g., Zero) in the introduction of Section 6)
in the box for the off-site location's EPA Identification
Number (defined in 40 CFR 260.10 and therefore commonly
referred to as the RCRA ID Number). If the total amount
transferred is less than 1,000 pounds, you may report a range

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Example 14: Container Residue
You have determined that a Form R for an EPCRA section 313 chemical must be submitted. The facility purchases and uses
one thousand 5 5-gallon steel drums that contain a 10% solution of the chemical. Further, it is assumed that the physical
properties of the solution are similar to water. The solution is pumped from the drums directly into a mixing vessel and the
"empty" drums are triple-rinsed with water. The rinse water is indirectly discharged to a POTW and the cleaned drums are sent
to a drum reclaimer.
In this example, it can be assumed that all of the residual solution in the drums was transferred to the rinse water. Therefore,
the quantity transferred to the drum reclaimer should be reported as "zero." The annual quantity of residual solution that is
transferred to the rinse water can be estimated by multiplying the mean weight percent of residual solution remaining in water
from pumping a steel drum (2.29% from the preceding table, "Summary of Residue Quantities From Pilot-Scale Experimental
Study") by the total annual weight of solution in the drum (density of solution multiplied by drum volume). If the density is not
known, it may be appropriate to use the density of water (8.34 pounds per gallon):
(2.29%) x (8.34 pounds/gallon) x (55 gallons/drum) x (1,000 drums) = 10,504 pounds solution
The concentration of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the solution is only 10%.
(10,504 pounds solution) x (10%) = 1,050 pounds
Therefore, 1,050 pounds of the chemical are transferred to the POTW.
If you transfer the EPCRA section 313 chemical in wastes to an
off-site facility for distinct and multiple purposes, you must
report those activities for each off-site location, along with the
quantity of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical
associated with each activity. For example, your facility
transfers a total of 15,000 pounds of toluene to an off-site
location that will use 5,000 pounds for the purposes of energy
recovery, enter 7,500 pounds into a recovery process, and
dispose of the remaining 2,500 pounds. These quantities and
the associated activity codes must be reported separately in
Section 6.2. (See Figure 4 for a hypothetical Section 6.2
completed for two off-site locations, one of which receives the
transfer of 15,000 pounds of toluene as detailed.) If you have
fewer than four total transfers in Section 6.2 Column A (see
examples in Figure 4), an NA should be placed in Column A of
the first unused row to indicate the termination of the sequence.
If all four rows are used, there is no need to terminate the
sequence. If there are more than four total transfers, re-enter the
name of the off-site location, address, etc. in the next row
(6.2.2) and then you should enter NA when the sequence has
terminated if there are fewer than 8 (i.e. anytime there are fewer
than 4 transfers listed in a Section 6.2 block, an NA should be
used to terminate the sequence).
Do not double or multiple count amounts transferred off-site.
For example, when a reported EPCRA section 313 chemical is
sent to an off-site facility for sequential activities, you should
report the final disposition of the toxic chemical.
6.2b Column B: Basis of Estimate
You must identify the basis for your estimates of the quantities
of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical in waste
transferred to each off-site location. Enter one of the following
letter codes that applies to the method by which the largest
percentage of the estimate was derived.
M Estimate is based on monitoring data or measurements
for the EPCRA section 313 chemical as transferred to
an off-site facility.
C Estimate is based on mass balance calculations, such
as calculation of the amount of the EPCRA section
313 chemical in streams entering and leaving process
equipment.
E Estimate is based on published emission factors, such
as those relating release quantity to throughput or
equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).
O Estimate is based on other approaches such as
engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatilization
using published mathematical formulas) or best
engineering judgment. This would include applying
an estimated removal efficiency to a waste stream,
even if the composition of the stream before treatment
was fully identified through monitoring data.

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Example 15: Reporting Metals and Metal Category
Compounds that are Sent Off-site
A facility manufactures a product containing elemental
copper, exceeding the processing threshold for copper.
Various metal fabrication operations for the process produce
a wastewater stream that contains some residual copper and
off-specification copper material. The wastewater is
collected and sent directly to a POTW. Periodic monitoring
data show that 500 pounds of copper were transferred to the
POTW in the reporting year. The POTW eventually
releases these chemicals to a stream. The off-specification
products (containing copper) are collected and sent off-site
to a RCRA Subtitle C landfill. Sampling analyses of the
product combined with hazardous waste manifests were
used to determine that 1,200 pounds of copper in the off-
spec product were sent to the off-site landfill.
Therefore, the facility must report 500 pounds in Sections
6.1 and 8. Id, and 1200 pounds in Sections 6.2 (waste code
M65 (RCRA Subtitle C Landfill) should be used) and 8. Id.
Note that for EPCRA section 313 chemicals that are not
metals or metal category compounds, the quantity sent for
treatment at POT Ws and to other off-site treatment locations
must be reported in Section 8.7 Quantity Treated Off-
site. However, if you know that some or all of the chemical
is not treated for destruction at the off-site locationyou must
report that quantity in Section 8.1.
6.2c Column C: Type of Waste Management: Disposal/
Treatment/Energy Recovery/Recycling
You should enter one of the following M codes to identify the
type of disposal, treatment, energy recovery, or recycling
methods used by the off-site location for the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical. You must use more than one line and
code for a single location when distinct quantities of the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical are subject to different
waste management activities, including disposal, treatment,
energy recovery, or recycling. You must use the code that
represents the ultimate disposition of the chemical.
If the EPCRA section 313 chemical is sent off-site for further
direct reuse (e.g., an EPCRA section 313 chemical in used
solvent that will be used as lubricant at another facility) and
does not undergo a waste management activity (i.e., release
(including disposal), treatment, energy recovery, or recycling
(recovery)) prior to that reuse, it need not be reported in section
6.2 or section 8.
Incineration vs. Energy Recovery
You must distinguish between incineration, which is waste
treatment, and legitimate energy recovery. Foryou to claim that
a reported EPCRA section 313 chemical sent off-site is used for
the purposes of energy recovery and not for treatment for
destruction, the EPCRA section 313 chemical must have a
significant heating value and must be combusted in an energy
recovery unit such as an industrial boiler, furnace, or kiln. In a
situation where the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical is in
a waste that is combusted in an energy recovery unit, but the
EPCRA section 313 chemical does not have a significant
heating value, e.g., CFCs, you should use code M54,
Incineration/Insignificant Fuel Value, to indicate that the
EPCRA section 313 chemical was incinerated in an energy
recovery unit but did not contribute to the heating value of the
waste.
Metals and Metal Category Compounds
Metals and metal category compounds will be managed in waste
either by being released (including disposed) or by being
recycled. Remember that the release and other waste
management information that you report for metal category
compounds will be the total amount of the parent metal released
or recycled and NOT the whole metal category compound. The
metal has no heat value and thus cannot be combusted for
energy recovery and cannot be treated because it cannot be
destroyed. Thus, transfers of metals and metal category
compounds for further waste management should be reported as
either a transfer for recycling or a transfer for disposal. The
applicable waste management codes for transfers of metals and
metal category compounds for recycling are M24, metals
recovery, M93, waste broker recycling, or M26, other
reuse/recovery. Applicable codes for transfers for disposal
include M10, M41, M62, M64, M65, M66, M67, M73, M79,
M81, M82, M90, M94, and M99. These codes are for off-site
transfers for further waste management in which the
wastestream may be treated but the metal contained in the
wastestream is not treated and is ultimately released. For
example, M41 should be used for a metal or metal category
compound that is stabilized in preparation for disposal.

Section 7. On-Site Waste Treatment, Energy
Recovery, and Recycling Methods
You must report in this section the methods of waste treatment,
energy recovery, and recycling applied to the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical in wastes on-site. There are three separate
sections for reporting such activities.
Section 7A On-Site Waste Treatment Methods and
Efficiency
Most of the chemical-specific information required by EPCRA
section 313 that is reported on Form R is specific to the EPCRA
section 313 chemical rather than the waste stream containing
the EPCRA section 313 chemical. However, EPCRA section
313 does require that waste treatment methods applied on-site
to waste streams that contain the EPCRA section 313 chemical
be reported. This information is reportable regardless of
whether the facility actively applies treatment or the treatment
of the waste stream occurs passively. This information is
collected in Section 7 A of Form R.
In Section 7A, you must provide the following information if
you treat waste streams containing the reported EPCRA section
313 chemical on-site:
(a) The general waste stream types containing the EPCRA
section 313 chemical being reported;
(b) The waste treatment method(s) or sequence used on all
waste streams containing the EPCRA section 313
chemical;
(c) The range of concentration of the EPCRA section 313
chemicals in the influent to the waste treatment method;
(d) The efficiency of each waste treatment method or waste
treatment sequence in destroying or removing the EPCRA
section 313 chemical; and
(e) Whether the waste treatment efficiency figure was based
on actual operating data.
Use a separate line in Section 7 A for each general waste stream
type. Report only information about treatment of waste streams
at your facility, not information about off-site waste treatment.
If you do not perform on-site treatment of waste streams
containing the reported EPCRA sections 13 chemical, check the
NA box at the top of Section 7A.
7A Column a: General Waste Stream
For each waste treatment method, indicate the type of waste
stream containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical that is
treated. Enter the letter code that corresponds to the general
waste stream type:
A Gaseous (gases, vapors, airborne particulates)
W Wastewater (aqueous waste)
L Liquid waste streams (non-aqueous waste)
S Solid waste streams (including sludges and slurries)
If a waste is a combination of water and organic liquid and the
organic content is less than 50%, report it as a wastewater (W).
Slurries and sludges containing water should be reported as
solid waste if they contain appreciable amounts of dissolved
solids, or solids that may settle, such that the viscosity or
density of the waste is considerably different from that of
process wastewater.
7A Column b: Waste Treatment Method(s) Sequence
Enter the appropriate waste treatment code from the list below
for each on-site waste treatment method used on a waste stream
containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical, regardless of
whether the waste treatment method actually removes the
specific EPCRA section 313 chemical being reported. Waste
treatment methods must be reported for each type of waste
streambeing treated (i.e., gaseous waste streams, aqueous waste
streams, liquid non-aqueous waste streams, and solids). Except
for the air emission treatment codes, the waste treatment codes
are not restricted to any medium.
Waste streams containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical
may have a single source or may be aggregates of many
sources. For example, process water from several pieces of
equipment at your facility may be combined prior to waste
treatment. Report waste treatment methods that apply to the
aggregate waste stream, as well as waste treatment methods that
apply to individual waste streams. If your facility treats various
wastewater streams containing the EPCRA section 313
chemical in different ways, the different waste treatment
methods must be listed separately.
If your facility has several pieces of equipment performing a
similar service in a waste treatment sequence, you may combine
the reporting for such equipment. It is not necessary to enter
four codes to cover four scrubber units, for example, if all four
are treating waste streams of similar character (e.g., sulfuric
acid mist emissions), have similar influent concentrations, and
have similar removal efficiencies. If, however, any of these
parameters differs from one unit to the next, each scrubber
should be listed separately.
If you are using the hardcopy paper form, and if your facility
performs more than eight sequential waste treatment methods
on a single general waste stream, continue listing the methods
in the next row and renumber appropriately those waste
treatment method code boxes you used to continue the
sequence. For example, if the general waste stream in box
7A. la had nine treatment methods applied to it, the ninth
method would be indicated in the first method box for row

7A.2a. The numeral "1" would be crossed out, and a "9" would
be inserted.
Example 16: Calculating Releases and Other Waste Management Quantities
Your facility disposes of 14,000 pounds of lead chromate (PbCrO4.PbO) in an on-site landfill and transfers 16,000 pounds of
lead selenite (PbSeC^) to an off-site land disposal facility. You would therefore be submitting three separate reports on the
following: lead compounds, selenium compounds, and chromium compounds. However, the quantities you would be reporting
would be the pounds of "parent" metal being released on-site or transferred off-site for further waste management. All quantities
are based on mass balance calculations (See Section 5, Column B for information on Basis of Estimate and Section 6.2, Column
C for waste management codes and information on transfers of EPCRA section 313 chemicals in wastes). You would calculate
releases of lead, chromium, and selenium by first determining the percentage by weight of these metals in the materials you use
as follows:
Lead Chromate (PbCrO4.PbO) Molecular weight = 546.37
Lead (2 Pb atoms) Atomic weight =207.2x2 = 414.4
Chromium (1 Cr atom) Atomic weight = 51.996
Lead chromate is therefore (% by weight)
(414.4/546.37) = 75.85% lead and
(51.996/546.37) = 9.52% chromium
Lead Selenite (PbSeO4) Molecular weight = 350.17
Lead (1 Pb atom) Atomic weight = 207.2
Selenium (1 Se atom) Atomic weight = 78.96
Lead selenite is therefore (% by weight)
(207.2/350.17) = 59.17% lead and
(78.96/350.17) = 22.55% selenium.
The total pounds of lead, chromium, and selenium disposed on or off-site from your facility are as follows:
Lead
Disposal on-site: 0.7585 x 14,000 = 10,619 pounds from lead chromate
Transfer off-site for disposal: 0.5917 x 16,000 = 9,467 pounds from lead selenite
Chromium
Disposal on-site: 0.0952 x 14,000 = 1,333 pounds from lead chromate
Selenium
Transfer off-site for disposal: 0.2255 x 16,000 = 3,608 pounds from lead selenite
Treatment applied to any other general waste stream types hypothetical Section 7A completed for a nine-step waste
would then be listed in the next empty row. In the scenario treatment process and a single waste treatment method.
above, for instance, the second general waste stream would
be reported in row 7 A. 3 a. See Figure 5 for an example of a
54 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
The completion of each waste treatment method sequence
should clearly be marked by using an NA following the last
waste treatment code, except in the situation in which exactly
eight waste treatment methods are listed. For example, if the
waste stream in box 7A. Ib has three waste treatment codes
listed, a NA should be placed in the fourth method box to
indicate the termination of the sequence. If the waste stream
has exactly eight waste treatment codes, there is no need to
enter an NA to terminate the sequence. If the waste stream
has more than eight waste treatment codes: (1) Enter NA in
Column C in the initial row and any subsequent rows in
which the sequence is not terminated to indicate that the
given waste stream continues on the next row (e.g., if waste
treatment codes are continued in 7A.2b from 7A.lb, a NA
should be indicated in 7A.lc.); (2) enter NA in the box
following the last waste stream code to indicate the
termination of the sequence, unless the sequence ends in the
method box 8 (i.e., there are 8, 16, 24, 32, etc. waste stream
codes); and (3) complete the information for Columns C, D,
and E in the last row for a given sequence. For example, if
the sequence terminates in 7A.3b, then fill in all relevant
information for C, D, and E in this row. You do not need to
reenter your General Waste Stream code in column A. See
Figure 5 for an example.
If you need additional space to report under Section 7A,
photocopy page 4 of Form R as many times as necessary. At
the bottom of page 4 you will find instructions for indicating
the total number of page 4s that you are submitting as part of

the influent) as it typically enters the waste treatment step or
sequence. The concentration is based on the amount or mass
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the waste stream as
compared to the total amount or mass of the waste stream.
Enter in the space provided one of the following code
numbers corresponding to the concentration of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical in the influent:
1 = Greater than 10,000 parts per million (1%)
2 = 100 parts per million (0.01%) to 10,000 parts per
million (1%)
3 = 1 part per million (0.0001%) to 100 parts per
million (0.01%)
4 = 1 part per billion to 1 part per million
5 = Less than 1 part per billion
Note: Parts per million (ppm) is:
milligrams/kilogram (mass/mass) for solids and
liquids;
cubic centimeters/cubic meter (volume/volume)
for gases;
milligrams/liter for solutions or dispersions of the
chemical in water; and
milligrams of chemical/kilogram of air for
particulates in air.

If you have paniculate concentrations (at standard
temperature and pressure) as grains/cubic foot of air,
multiply by 1766.6 to convert to parts per million; if in
milligrams/cubic meter, multiply by 0.773 to obtain parts per
million. These conversion factors are for standard conditions
of 0ฐ C (32ฐF) and 760 mm Hg atmospheric pressure.
7A Column d: Waste Treatment Efficiency Estimate
In the space provided, enter the number indicating the
percentage of the EPCRA section 313 chemical removed
from the waste stream through destruction, biological
degradation, chemical conversion, or physical removal. The
waste treatment efficiency (expressed as percent removal)
represents the percentage of the EPCRA section 313
chemical destroyed or removed (based on amount or mass),
not merely changes in volume or concentration of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical in the waste stream. The
efficiency, which can reflect the overall removal from
sequential treatment methods applied to the general waste
stream, refers only to the percent destruction, degradation,
conversion, or removal of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
from the waste stream, it does not refer to the percent
conversion or removal of other constituents in the waste
stream. The efficiency also does not refer to the general
efficiency of the treatment method for any waste stream. For
some waste treatment methods, the percent removal will
represent removal by several mechanisms, as in an aeration
basin, where an EPCRA section 313 chemical may
evaporate, biodegrade, or be physically removed from the
sludge.
Percent removal can be calculated as follows:
(I-E) x 100%
I
where:
I = amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the influent waste stream (entering the waste
treatment step or sequence) and
E = amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the effluent waste stream (exiting the waste
treatment step or sequence).
Calculate the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in
the influent waste stream by multiplying the concentration
(by weight) of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in the waste
stream by the total amount or weight of the waste stream. In
most cases, the percent removal compares the treated effluent
to the influent for the particular type of waste stream. For
solidification of wastewater, the waste treatment efficiency
can be reported as 100% if no volatile EPCRA section 313
chemicals were removed with the water or evaporated into
the air. Percent removal does not apply to incineration
because the waste stream, such as wastewater or liquids, may
not exist in a comparable form after waste treatment and the
purpose of incineration as a waste treatment is to destroy the
EPCRA section 313 chemical by converting it to carbon
dioxide and water or other byproducts. In cases where the
EPCRA section 313 chemical is incinerated, the percent
efficiency must be based on the amount of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical destroyed or combusted, except for
metals or metal category compounds. In the cases in which
a metal or metal category compound is incinerated, the
efficiency is reported as zero.
Similarly, an efficiency of zero must be reported for any
waste treatment method(s) that does not destroy, chemically
convert or physically remove the EPCRA section 313
chemical from the waste stream.
For metal category compounds, the calculation of the
reportable concentration and waste treatment efficiency must
be based on the weight of the parent metal, not on the weight
of the metal compound. Metals are not destroyed, only
physically removed or chemically converted from one form
into another. The waste treatment efficiency reported must
represent only physical removal of the parent metal from the
waste stream (except for incineration), not the percent
chemical conversion of the metal compound. If a listed
waste treatment method converts but does not remove a metal
(e.g., chromium reduction), the method must be reported with
a waste treatment efficiency of zero.
EPCRA section 313 chemicals that are strong mineral acids
neutralized to a pH of 6 or above are considered treated at a
100% efficiency.
When calculating waste treatment efficiency and influent
chemical concentration, EPCRA section 313(g)(2) requires
a facility to use readily available data (including monitoring
data) collected pursuant to other provisions of law, or, where
such data are not readily available, "reasonable estimates" of
the amounts involved.
7A Column e: Based on Operating Data?
This column requires you to indicate "Yes" or "No" to
whether the waste treatment efficiency estimate is based on
actual operating data. For example, you would check "Yes"
if the estimate is based on monitoring of influent and effluent
wastes under typical operating conditions.
If the efficiency estimate is based on published data for
similar processes or on equipment supplier's literature, or if
you otherwise estimated either the influent or effluent waste
comparison or the flow rate, check "No."

Section 7B On-Site Energy Recovery Processes
In Section 7B, you must indicate the on-site energy recovery
methods used on the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical.
EPA considers an EPCRA section 313 chemical to be
combusted for energy recovery if the toxic chemical has a
significant heat value and is combusted in an energy recovery
device. If a reported EPCRA section 313 chemical is
incinerated on-site but does not contribute energy to the
process (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons), it must be considered
waste treated on-site and reported in Section 7A. Metals and
metal category compounds cannot be combusted for energy
recovery and should NOT be reported in this section. Do not
include the combustion of fuel oils, such as fuel oil #6, in this
section. Energy recovery may take place only in an
industrial kiln, furnace, or boiler.
NA vs. a Numerical Value (e.g., Zero). If you do not
perform on-site energy recovery for a waste stream that
contains or contained the EPCRA section 313 chemical,
check the NA box at the top of Section 7B and enter NA in
Section 8.2. If you perform on-site energy recovery for the
waste stream that contains or contained the EPCRA section
313 chemical, enter the appropriate code in Section 7B and
enter the appropriate value in Section 8.2. If this quantity
is less than or equal to 0.5 pound, round to zero (unless the
chemical is a listed PBT chemical) and enter zero in 8.2.
(Note: for metals and metal compounds, you should only
report NA in Sections 7B and Section 8.2.)
Energy Recovery Codes
U01 Industrial Kiln
U02 Industrial Furnace

If your facility uses more than one on-site energy recovery
method for the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical, list
the methods used in descending order (greatest to least)
based on the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
entering such methods.
Section 7C On-Site Recycling Processes
In Section 7C, you must report the recycling methods used
on the EPCRA section 313 chemical.
In this section, use the codes below to report only the
recycling methods in place at your facility that are applied to
the EPCRA section 313 chemical. Do not list any off-site
recycling activities. (Information about off-site recycling
must be reported inPart II, Section 6, "Transfers of the Toxic
Chemical in Wastes to Off-Site Locations.")
NA vs. a Numerical Value (e.g., Zero). If you do not
perform on-site recycling for the reported EPCRA section
313 chemical, check the NA box at the top of Section 7C and
enter N A in Section 8.4. If you perform on-site recycling for
the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical, enter the
appropriate code in Section 7C and enter the appropriate
value in Section 8.4. If this quantity is less than or equal to
0.5 pound, round to zero (unless the chemical is a listed PBT
chemical) and enter 0 in Section 8.4.

Example 17: On-Site Waste Treatment
A process at the facility generates a wastewater stream containing an EPCRA section 313 chemical (chemical A). A second
process generates a wastewater stream containing two EPCRA section 313 chemicals, a metal (chemical B) and a mineral acid
(chemical C). Thresholds for all three chemicals have been exceeded and you are in the process of completing separate Form
Rs for each chemical.
These two wastewater streams are combined and sent to an on-site wastewater treatment system before being discharged to a
POTW. This system consists of an oil/water separator that removes 99% of chemical A; a neutralization tank in which the pH
is adjusted to 7.5, thereby destroying 100% of the mineral acid (chemical C); and a settling tank where 95% of the metal
(chemical B) is removed from the water (and eventually landfilled off-site).
Section 7A should be completed slightly differently when you file the Form R for each of the chemicals. The table
accompanying this example shows how Section 7 A should be completed for each chemical. First, on each Form R you should
identify the type of waste stream in Section 7A. la as wastewater (aqueous waste, code W). Next, on each Form R you should
list the code for each of the treatment steps that is applied to the entire waste stream, regardless of whether the operation affects
the chemical for which you are completing the Form R (for instance, the first four blocks of Section 7A. Ib of all three Form
Rs should show: P19 (liquid phase separation), Cl 1 (neutralization), PI 1 (settling/clarification), and N/A (to signify the end
of the treatment system). Note that Section 7A. Ib is not chemical specific. It applies to the entire waste stream being treated.
Section 7A. Ic of each Form R should show the concentration of the specific chemical in the influent to the first step of the
process (oil/water separation). For this example, assume chemicals A, B, and C are all present at concentrations greater than
1%. Therefore, code " 1" should be entered. Section 7A. Id applies to the efficiency of the entire system in destroying and/or
removing the chemical for which you are preparing the Form R. You should enter 99% when filing for chemical A, 95% for
chemical B, and 100% for chemical C. Finally, you should report whether the influent concentration and efficiency estimates
are based on operating data for each chemical, as appropriate.

Note that the quantity removed and/or destroyed is not reported in Section 7 and that the efficiency reported in Section 7A. Id
refers to the amount of EPCRA section 313 chemical destroyed and/or removed from the applicable waste stream. The amount
actually destroyed should be reported in Section 8.6 (quantity treated on-site). For example, when completing the Form R for
Chemical B you should report "N/A"pounds in Section 8.6 because the metal has been removed from the wastewater stream,
but not actually destroyed. The quantity of Chemical B that is ultimately landfilled off-site should be reported in Sections 6.2
and 8. Ic. However, when completing the Form R for Chemical C you should report the entire quantity in Section 8.6 because
raising the pH to 7.5 will completely destroy the mineral acid.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 59

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Example 18: Reporting On-Site Energy Recovery
One waste stream generated by your facility contains,
among other chemicals, toluene and Freon 113. Threshold
quantities are exceeded for both of these EPCRA section
313 chemicals, and you would, therefore, submit two
separate Form R reports. This waste stream is sent to an on-
site industrial furnace that uses the heat generated in a
thermal hydrocarbon cracking process at your facility.
Because toluene has a significant heat value (17,440
BTU/pound) and the energy is recovered in an industrial
furnace, the code "U02" would be reported in Section 7B
for the Form R submitted for toluene.
However, as Freon 113 does not contribute any value for
energy recovery purposes, the combustion of Freon 113 in
the industrial furnace is considered waste treatment, not
energy recovery. You would report Freon 113 as entering
a waste treatment step (i.e., incineration), in Section 7A,
column b. In Section 7B the facility should report zero.
Section 8. Source Reduction
and Recycling Activities
This section includes the data elements mandated by section
6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA).
In Section 8, you must provide information about source
reduction activities and quantities of the EPCRA section 313
chemicals managed as waste. For all appropriate questions,
report only the quantity, in pounds, of the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical itself (except the dioxin and dioxin-like
compound category). Do not include the weight of water, soil,
or other waste constituents. When reporting on the metal
category compounds, you should report only the amount of the
metal portion of the compound as you do when estimating
release and other waste management amounts.
Sections 8.1 through 8.9 must be completed for each EPCRA
section 313 chemical. Section 8.10 must be completed only if
a source reduction activity was newly implemented specifically
(in whole or in part) for the reported EPCRA section 313
chemical during the reporting year. Section 8.11 allows you to
indicate if you have attached additional optional information on
source reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities
implemented at any time at your facility.
Sections 8.1 through 8.7 require reporting of quantities for the
current reporting year, the prior year, and quantities anticipated
in both the first year immediately following the reporting year
and the second year following the reporting year (future
estimates).
Do not enter the values in Section 8 in gallons, tons, liters, or
any measure other than pounds. You must also enter the values
as whole numbers. Numbers following a decimal point are not
acceptable for toxic chemicals other than those designated as
PBT chemicals. For PBT chemicals facilities should report
release and other waste management quantities greater than 0.1
pound (except the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category)
provided the accuracy and the underlying data on which the
estimate is based supports this level of precision. For the dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds category facilities should report at
a level of precision supported by the accuracy of the underlying
data and the estimation techniques on which the estimate is
based. However, the smallest quantity that need be reported on
the Form R for the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category
is 0.0001 grams (See example 12 on page 40). Notwithstanding
the numeric precision used when determining reporting
eligibility thresholds, facilities should report on Form R to the
level of accuracy that their data supports, up to seven digits to
the right of the decimal. EPA's reporting software and data
management systems support data precision to seven digits to
the right of the decimal.
NA vs. a Numeric Value (e.g., Zero). You should enter a
numeric value in the relevant sections of Section 8 if your
facility has released, treated, combusted for energy recovery or
recycled any quantity of an EPCRA section 313 chemical
during the reporting year. If the aggregate quantity of that toxic
chemical was equal to or less than 0.5 pound for a particular
waste management method, you should enter the value zero
(unless the chemical is a PBT chemical) in the relevant section.
However, if there has been no on-site or off-site treatment,
combustion for energy recovery or recycling on the waste
stream containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical, then you
should enter NA in the relevant section. (Note: for metals and
metal category compounds, you should enter NA in Sections
8.2, 8.3, 8.6 and 8.7, as treatment and combustion for energy
recovery generally are not applicable waste management
methods for metals and metal compounds). For Section 8.1b,
NA generally is not applicable recognizing the potential for
spills, leaks, or fugitive emissions of the EPCRA section 313
chemical. You should enter NA in Section 8.8 if there were no
remedial actions, catastrophic events such as earthquakes, fires,
or floods or one-time events not associated with normal or
routine production processes for that toxic chemical. If there
was a catastrophic event at your facility, but you were able to
prevent any releases from occurring, then enter zero in Section
Column A: Prior Year
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be reported for the
year immediately preceding the reporting year in column A.
For reports due July 1, 2004 (reporting year 2003), the prior

year is 2002. Information available at the facility that may be
used to estimate the prior year's quantities include the prior
year's Form R submission, supporting documentation, and
recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal operating logs
or invoices. When reporting prior year estimates facilities are
not required to use quantities reported on the previous year's
form if better information is available.
Column B: Current Reporting Year
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be reported for the
current reporting year in column B.
Columns C and D: Following Year and
Second Following Year
Quantities for Sections 8.1 through 8.7 must be estimated for
2004 and 2005. EPA expects reasonable future quantity
estimates using a logical basis. Information available at the
facility to estimate quantities of the chemical expected during
these years include planned source reduction activities, market
projections, expected contracts, anticipated new product lines,
company growth projections, and production capacity figures.
Respondents should take into account protections available for
trade secrets as provided in EPCRA section 322 (42 USC
11042) for the chemical identity.
Relationship to Other Laws
The reporting categories for quantities recycled, used for energy
recovery, treated, and disposed apply to completing Section 8
of Form R as well as to the rest of Form R. These categories are
to be used only for TRI reporting. They are not intended for use
in determining, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) Subtitle C regulations, whether a secondary
material is a waste when recycled. These definitions also do not
apply to the information that may be submitted in the Biennial
Report required under RCRA. In addition, these definitions do
not imply any future redefinition of RCRA terms and do not
affect EPAซs RCRA authority or authority under any other
statute administered by EPA.
Differences in terminology and reporting requirements for
EPCRA section 313 chemicals reported on Form R and for
hazardous wastes regulated under RCRA occur because EPCRA
and the PPA focus on specific chemicals, while the RCRA
regulations and the Biennial Report focus on waste streams that
may include more than one chemical. For example, a RCRA
hazardous waste containing an EPCRA section 313 chemical is
recycled to recover certain constituents of that waste, but not the
toxic chemical reported under EPCRA section 313. The
EPCRA section 313 chemical simply passes through the
recycling process and remains in the residual from the recycling
process, which is disposed. While the waste may be considered
recycled under RCRA, the EPCRA section 313 chemical
constituent would be considered to be disposed for TRI
purposes.
Quantities Reportable in Sections 8.1-8.7
Section 8 of Form R uses data collected to complete Part II,
Sections 5 through 7. For this reason, Section 8 should be
completed last. Sections 8.1, 8.3, 8.5, 8.7, and 8.8 use data
collected to complete Sections 5 and 6 of Form R. The
relationship between Section s 5,6, and 8.8 to Sections 8.1,8.3,
8.5, and 8.7 are provided below in equation form.
Section 8.1. Beginning in the 2003 reporting year Section 8.1
has been divided into four Subsections (8. la, 8.1b, 8.1c and
8. Id). Please refer to the following equations that show the
relationship between Sections 5, 6 and 8. la through 8. Id.
EPCRA section 329(8) defines release as "any spilling, leaking,
pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting,
escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing [on-site or off-site]
into the environment (including the abandonment of barrels,
containers, and other closed receptacles)." In Section 8.1
facilities report disposal and other releases. This includes on-
site disposal and other releases in Section 5 and off-site disposal
and other releases in Section 6 (releases plus transfers to
disposal and transfers to POTWs of metals and metal
compounds), but excludes quantities reported in Section 5 and
6 due to remedial actions, catastrophic events, or non-
production related events (see the discussion on Section 8.8.)
Example 19: Reporting Future Estimates
A pharmaceutical manufacturing facility uses an EPCRA
section 313 chemical in the manufacture of a prescription
drug. During the reporting year (2003), the company
received approval from the Food and Drug Administration
to begin marketing their product as an over-the-counter
drug beginning in 2004. This approval is publicly known
and does not constitute confidential business information.
As a result of this expanded market, the company estimates
that sales and subsequent production of this drug will
increase their use of the reported EPCRA section 313
chemical by 30% per year for the two years following the
reporting year. The facility treats the EPCRA section 313
chemical on-site and the quantity treated is directly
proportional to production activity. The facility thus
estimates the total quantity of the reported EPCRA section
313 chemical treated for the following year (2004) by
adding 30% to the amount in column B (the amount for the
current reporting year). The second following year (2004)
figure can be calculated by adding an additional 30% to the
amount reported in column C (the amount for the following
year (2004) projection).

Some chemicals in addition to metals and metal category
compounds might not be treated for destruction at a POTW. If
you are able to quantify the amounts of a toxic chemical sent to
a POTW that are treated for destruction and disposed or
released from the POTW untreated, you should divide the
amount reported in Section 6.1 between Sections 8. Ic and 8. Id
and 8.7 (quantity treated off site), as appropriate.
Sections 8.2 and 8.3. These relate to an EPCRA section 313
chemical or a mixture containing an EPCRA section 313
chemical that is used for energy recovery on-site or is sent off-
site for energy recovery, unless it is a commercially available
fuel (e.g., fuel oil no. 6). Forthe purposes of reporting onForm
R, reportable on-site and off-site energy recovery is the
combustion of a waste stream containing an EPCRA section
313 chemical when:
(a) The combustion unit is integrated into an energy recovery
system (i.e., industrial furnaces, industrial kilns, and
boilers); and
(b) The EPCRA section 313 chemical is combustible and has
a significant heating value (e.g., 5000 BTU)
Note: Metals and metal category compounds cannot be

In Section 8.8, enter the total quantity of the EPCRA section
313 chemical disposed or released directly into the environment
or sent off-site for recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or
disposal during the reporting year due to any of the following
events:
(1) remedial actions;
(2) catastrophic events such as earthquakes, fires, or floods;
or
(3) one-time events not associated with normal or routine
production processes.
These quantities should not be included in Section 8.1.
The purpose of this section is to separate quantities recycled,
used for energy recovery, treated, or released, including
disposals that are associated with normal or routine production
operations from those that are not. While all quantities
disposed, released recycled, combusted for energy recovery, or
treated may ultimately be preventable, this section separates the
quantities that are more likely to be reduced or eliminated by
process-oriented source reduction activities from those releases
that are largely unpredictable and are less amenable to such
source reduction activities. For example, spills that occur as a
routine part of production operations and could be reduced or
eliminated by improved handling, loading, or unloading
procedures are included in the quantities reported in Section 8.1
through 8.7 as appropriate. A total loss of containment
resulting from a tank rupture caused by a tornado would be
included in the quantity reported in Section 8.8.
Similarly, the amount of an EPCRA section 313 chemical
cleaned up from spills resulting from normal operations during
the reporting year would not be included in Section 8.8. .
However, the quantity of the reported EPCRA section 313
chemical disposed from a remedial action (e.g., RCRA
corrective action) to clean up the environmental contamination
resulting from past practices should be reported in Section 8.8
because they cannot currently be addressed by source reduction
methods. A remedial action for purposes of Section 8.8 is a
waste cleanup (including RCRA and CERCLA operations)
within the facility boundary. Most remedial activities involve
collecting and treating contaminated material.
Also, releases caused by catastrophic events are to be
incorporated into the quantity reported in Section 8.8. Such
releases maybe caused by natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes and
earthquakes) or by large-scale accidents (e.g., fires and
explosions). In addition, releases due to one-time events not
associated with production (e.g., terrorist bombing) are to be
included in Section 8.8. These amounts are generally
unanticipated and cannot be addressed by routine
process-oriented accident prevention techniques. By checking
your documentation for calculating estimates made for Part II,
Section 5, "Quantity of the Toxic Chemical Entering Each
Environmental Medium On-site," you may be able to identify
disposal and release amounts from the above sources.
Emergency notifications under CERCLA and EPCRA as well
as accident histories required under the Clean Air Act may
provide useful information. You should also check facility
incident reports and maintenance records to identify one-time
or catastrophic events.
Note: While the information reported in Section 8.8 represents
only remedial, catastrophic, or one-time events not associated
with production processes, Section 5 of Form R (on-site
disposal and other releases to the environment) and Section 6
(off-site transfers for further waste management) must include
all on-site disposal and other releases and transfers for disposal
as appropriate, regardless of whether they arise from
catastrophic, remedial, or routine process operations.
Avoid Double-Counting in Sections 8.1 Through 8.8
Do not double- or multiple-count quantities in Sections 8.1
through 8.8. The quantities reported in each of those sections
should be mutually exclusive. Do not multiple-count quantities
entering sequential reportable activities during the reporting
year.
Quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical disposed or
otherwise released into the environment or otherwise managed
as waste off site due to remedial actions; catastrophic events
such as earthquakes, fires, or floods; or unanticipated one-time
events not associated with the production process such as a
drunk driver crashing his/her car into a drum storage area.
These quantities should be reported in Section 8.8 only. For
example, 10,000 pounds of diaminoanisole sulfate is released
due to a catastrophic event and is subsequently treated off-site.
The 10,000 pounds is reported in Section 8.8 but the amount
subsequently treated off-site is not reported in Section 8.7.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 63

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
8.9 Production Ratio or Activity Index
For Section 8.9, you must provide a ratio of reporting year
production to prior year production, or provide an "activity
index" based on a variable other than production that is the
primary influence on the quantity of the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical recycled, used for energy recovery,
treated, disposed or released. The ratio or index must be
reported to the nearest tenths or hundredths place (i.e., one or
two digits to the right of the decimal point). For EPCRA
section 313 PBT chemicals, including the dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds category, you will report the same as for chemicals
that are not listed as PBT (i.e., up to one or two digits to the
right of the decimal point). If the manufacture, processing, or
use of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical began during
the current reporting year, enter NA as the production ratio or
activity index. Note, this is not to be reported as a percent (i.e.,
report 1.10 for a 10% increase, not 110%).
It is important to realize that if your facility reports more than
one reported EPCRA section 313 chemical, the production ratio
or activity index may vary for different chemicals. For facilities
that manufacture reported EPCRA section 313 chemicals, the
quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical(s) produced in
the current and prior years provide a good basis for the ratio
because that is the primary business activity associated with the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical(s). In most cases, the
production ratio or activity index must be based on some
variable of production or activity rather than on EPCRA section
313 chemical or material usage. Indices based on EPCRA
section 313 chemical or material usage may reflect the effect of
source reduction activities rather than changes in business
activity. EPCRA section 313 chemical or material usage is
therefore not a basis to be used for the production ratio or
activity index where the EPCRA section 313 chemical is
"otherwise-used" (i.e., non-incorporative activities such as
extraction solvents, metal degreasers, etc.).
While several methods are available to the facility for
determining this data element, the production ratio or activity
index must be based on the variable that most directly affects
the quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical recycled,
used for energy recovery, treated, disposed or released.
Examples of methods available include:
(1) Amount of EPCRA section 313 chemical manufactured in
2003 divided by the amount of EPCRA section 313
chemical manufactured in 2002; or
(2) Amount of product produced in 2003 divided by the
amount of product produced in 2002.
8.10 Did Your Facility Engage in Any Source Reduction
Activities for This Chemical During the Reporting Year?
Section 8.10 must be completed only if a source reduction
activity was newly implemented specifically (in whole or in
part) for the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical during the
reporting year. If your facility engaged in any source reduction
activity for the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical during
the reporting year, report the activity that was implemented and
the method used to identify the opportunity for the activity
implemented. If your facility did not engage in any source
reduction activity for the reported EPCRA section 313
chemical, enter NA in Section 8.10.1 and answer Section 8.11.
Source reduction means any practice that:
Reduces the amount of any hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant entering any waste stream or
otherwise released into the environment (including
fugitive emissions) prior to recycling, energy recovery,
treatment, or disposal; and
Reduces the hazards to public health and the environment
associated with the release of such substances, pollutants,
or contaminants.
The term includes equipment or technology modifications,
process or procedure modifications, reformulation or redesign
of products, substitution of raw materials, and improvements in
housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory control.
The term source reduction does not include any practice that
alters the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or the
volume of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant
through a process or activity that itself is not integral to and
necessary for the production of a product or the providing of a
service.
Source reduction activities do not include recycling, using for
energy recovery, treating, or disposing of an EPCRA section
313 chemical. Report in this section only the source reduction
activities implemented to reduce or eliminate the quantities
reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7. The focus of the section
is only those activities that are applied to reduce routine or
reasonably anticipated releases and quantities of the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical recycled, treated, used for energy
recovery, or disposed. Do not report in this section any
activities taken to reduce or eliminate the quantities reported in
Section 8.8. If you have fewer than four source reduction codes
in Section 8.10, an NA should be placed in the first column of
the first unused row to indicate the termination of the sequence.
If all four rows are used, there is no need to terminate the
sequence. If there are more than four source reduction codes,
photocopy page 5 of Form R as many times as necessary and
then number the boxes consecutively for each source reduction

Example 20: Quantity Released to the Environment as a Result of Remedial Actions,
Catastrophic Events, or One-Time Events Not Associated with Production Processes.
A chemical manufacturer produces an EPCRA section 313 chemical in a reactor that operates at low pressure. The reactants
and the EPCRA section 313 chemical product are piped in and out of the reactor at monitored and controlled temperatures.
During normal operations, small amounts of fugitive emissions occur from the valves and flanges in the pipelines.
Due to a malfunction in the control panel (which is state-of-the-art and undergoes routine inspection and maintenance), the
temperature and pressure in the reactor increase, the reactor ruptures, and the EPCRA section 313 chemical is released. Because
the malfunction could not be anticipated and, therefore, couldnotbe reasonably addressed by specific source reduction activities,
the amount released is included in Section 8.8. In this case, much of the EPCRA section 313 chemical is released as a liquid
and pools on the ground. It is estimated that 1,000 pounds of the EPCRA section 313 chemical pooled on the ground and was
subsequently collected and sent off-site for treatment. In addition, it is estimated that another 200 pounds of the EPCRA section
313 chemical vaporized directly to the air from the rupture. The total amount reported in Section 8.8 is the 1,000 pounds that
pooled on the ground (and subsequently sent off-site), plus the 200 pounds that vaporized into the air, a total of 1,200 pounds.
The quantity sent off-site must also be reported in Section 6 (but not in Section 8.7) and the quantity that vaporized must be
reported as a fugitive emission in Section 5 (but not in Section 8.1b).
Example 21: Avoiding Double-Counting Quantities in
Sections 8.1 through 8.7
5,000 pounds of an EPCRA section 313 chemical enters a
treatment operation. Three thousand pounds of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical exits the treatment operation and then
enters a recycling operation. Five hundred pounds of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical are in residues from the
recycling operation that is subsequently sent off-site to a
landfill for disposal. These quantities would be reported as
follows in Section 8:
Section 8.1c: 500 pounds disposed
Section 8.4: 2,500 pounds recycled
Section 8.6: 2000 pounds treated (5,000 that initially
entered 3,000 that subsequently entered recycling)
To report that 5,000 pounds were treated, 3,000 pounds
were recycled, and that 500 pounds were sent off-site for
disposal would result in over-counting the quantities of
EPCRA section 313 chemical recycled, treated, and
disposed by 3,500 pounds.

the sequence ends at 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. source reduction codes.
Source Reduction Activities
You must enter in the first column of Section 8.10, "Source
Reduction Activities," the appropriate code(s) indicating the
type of actions taken to reduce the amount of the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical disposed or otherwise released
(as reported in Section 8.1), used for energy recovery (as
reported in Sections 8.2-8.3), recycled (as reported in Sections
8.4-8.5), or treated (as reported in Sections 8.6-8.7). The list
of codes below includes many, but not all, of the codes
provided in the RCRA biennial report. Remember that source
reduction activities include only those actions ortechniques that
reduce or eliminate the amounts of the EPCRA section 313
chemical reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7. Actions taken to
recycle, combust for energy recovery, treat, or dispose of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical are not considered source
reduction activities.

Example 22: Determining a Production Ratio
Your facility's only use of toluene is as a paint carrier for a painting operation. You painted 12,000 refrigerators in the current
reporting year and 10,000 refrigerators during the preceding year. The production ratio for toluene in this case is 1.2
(12,000/10,000) because the number of refrigerators produced is the primary factor determining the quantity of toluene to be
reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
A facility manufactures inorganic pigments, including titanium dioxide. Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols) is produced as a waste
byproduct during the production process. An appropriate production ratio for hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols) is the annual
titanium dioxide production, not the amount of byproduct generated. If the facility produced 20,000 pounds of titanium dioxide
during the reporting year and 26,000 pounds in the preceding year, the production ratio would be 0.77 (20,000/26,000).
Example 23: Determining an Activity Index
Your facility manufactures organic dyes in a batch process. Different colors of dyes are manufactured, and between color
changes, all equipment must be thoroughly cleaned with solvent containing glycol ethers to reduce color carryover. During the
preceding year, the facility produced 2,000 pounds of yellow dye in January, 9,000 pounds of green dye for February through
September, 2,000 pounds of red dye in November, and another 2,000 pounds of yellow dye in December. This adds up to a total
of 15,000 pounds and four color changeovers. During the reporting year, the facility produced 10,000 pounds of green dye
during the first half of the year and 10,000 pounds of red dye in the second half. If your facility uses glycol ethers in this
cleaning process only, an activity index of 0.5 (based on two color changeovers for the reporting year divided by four
changeovers for the preceding year) is more appropriate than a production ratio of 1.33 (based on 20,000 pounds of dye
produced in the current year divided by 15,000 pounds in the preceding year). In this case, an activity index, rather than a
production ratio, better reflects the factors that influence the amount of solvent recycled, used for energy recovery, treated, or
disposed or released.
A facility that manufactures thermoplastic composite parts for aircraft uses toluene as a wipe solvent to clean molds. The solvent
is stored in 55-gallon drums and is transferred to 1-gallon dispensers. The molds are cleaned on an as-needed basis that is not
necessarily a function of the parts production rate. Operators cleaned 5,200 molds during the reporting year, but only cleaned
2,000 molds in the previous year. An activity index of 2.6 (5,200/2,000) represents the activities involving toluene usage in
the facility. If the molds were cleaned after 1,000 parts were manufactured, a production ratio would equal the activity index
and either could be used as the basis for the index.
A facility manufactures surgical instruments and cleans the metal parts with 1,1,1 -trichloromethane in a vapor degreaser. The
degreasing unit is operated in a batch mode and the metal parts are cleaned according to an irregular schedule. The activity
index can be based upon the total time the metal parts are in the degreasing operation. If the degreasing unit operated 3,900
hours during the reporting year and 3,000 hours the prioryear, the activity index is 1.3 (3,900/3,000).
Example 24: "NA" is Entered as the Production Ratio or Activity Index
Your facility began production of semiconductor chips during this reporting year. Perchloroethylene is used as a cleaning
solvent for this operation and this is the only use of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in your facility. You would enter NA in
Section 8.9 because you have no basis of comparison in the prior year for the purposes of developing the activity index.

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form R
Example 25: Determining the Production Ratio Based on a Weighted Average
At many facilities, a reported EPCRA section 313 chemical is used in more than one production process. In these cases, a
production ratio or activity index can be estimated by weighting the production ratio for each process based on the respective
contribution of each process to the quantity of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical recycled, used for energy recovery,
treated, or disposed.
Your facility paints bicycles with paint containing toluene. Sixteen thousand bicycles were produced in the reporting year and
14,500 were produced in the prior year. There were no significant design modifications that changed the total surface area to
be painted for each bike. The bicycle production ratio is 1.1 (16,000/14,500). You estimate 12,500 pounds of toluene recycled,
used for energy recovery, treated, disposed or released as a result of bicycle production. Your facility also uses toluene as a
solvent in a glue that is used to make components and add-on equipment for the bicycles. Thirteen thousand components were
manufactured in the reporting year as compared to 15,000 during the prior year. The production ratio for the components using
toluene is 0.87 (13,000/15,000). You estimate 1,000 pounds of toluene treated, recycled, used for energy recovery, disposed
or released as a result of components production. A production ratio can be calculated by weighting each of the production
ratios based on the relative contribution each has to the quantities of toluene treated, recycled, used for energy recovery, disposed
or released during the reporting year (13,500 pounds). The production ratio is calculated as follows:
Production ratio = 1.1 x (12,500/13,500) + 0.87 x (1,000/13,500) = 1.08
Example 26: Source Reduction
A facility assembles and paints furniture. Both the glue
used to assemble the furniture and the paints contain
EPCRA section 313 chemicals. By examining the gluing
process, the facility discovered that a new drum of glue is
opened at the beginning of each shift, whether the old drum
is empty or not. By adding a mechanism that prevents the
drum from being changed before it is empty, the need for
disposal of the glue is eliminated at the source. As a result,
this activity is considered source reduction. The painting
process at this facility generates a solvent waste, that
contains an EPCRA section 313 chemical that is collected
and recovered. The recovered solvent is used to clean the
painting equipment. The recycling activity does not reduce
the amount of EPCRA section 313 chemical recycled, and
therefore is not considered a source reduction activity.
8.11 Is Additional Optional Information on Source
Reduction, Recycling, or Pollution Control Activities
Included with this Report?
Check "Yes" for this data element if you have attached to this
report any additional optional information on source
reduction, recycling, or pollution control activities you have
implemented in the reporting year or in prior years for the
reported EPCRA section 313 chemical. If you are not
including additional information, check "No." If you submit
additional optional information, try to limit this information
to one page that summarizes the source reduction, recycling,
or pollution control activities. If there is a contact person at
the facility, other than the technical or public contact
provided in Part I, Section 4, the summary page should
include that person's name and telephone number for
individuals who wish to obtain further information about
those activities. Also submit a copy of this additional
information to the appropriate state agency as part of the

D. Facility Eligibility Determination for Alternate Threshold and for
Reporting on EPA Form A Certification Statement
This section will help to determine whether you can submit
the simplified Form A Certification Statement (hereafter
referred to as Form A). The criteria are based on the total
annual reportable amount of the listed chemical or chemical
category and the amount manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used.
D.I Alternate Threshold
On November 30, 1994, EPA published a final rule (59 FR
61488) that provides qualifying facilities an alternate
threshold of 1 million pounds. Eligible facilities wishing to
take advantage of this option may certify on a simplified
two-page form referred to as Form A Certification Statement
and do not have to use Form R. The "TRI Alternate
Threshold for Facilities with Low Annual Reportable
Amounts," provides facilities otherwise meeting EPCRA
section 313 reporting thresholds the option of certifying on
Form A provided that they do not exceed 500 pounds for the
total annual reportable amount (defined below) for that
chemical, and that their amounts manufactured or processed
or otherwise used do not exceed one-million pounds. As with
determining section 313 reporting thresholds, amounts
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used are to be
considered independently. This modification does not apply
to forms being submitted on or before July 1, 1995 (covering
the 1994 reporting year). If you fill out a Form A for an
EPCRA section 313 chemical, do not fill out a Form R for
that same chemical.
However, there is an exception to the alternate threshold rule
described in the preceding paragraph. All PBT chemicals
(except certain instances of reporting lead in stainless steel,
brass or bronze alloys) are excluded from eligibility for the
alternate threshold.
D.2 What is the Form A
Certification Statement?
The Form A, which is described as the "certification
statement" in 59 FR 61488, is intended as a means to reduce
the compliance burden associated with EPCRA section 313.
The Form A must be submitted on an annual basis for each
eligible chemical. Facilities wishing to take advantage of this
burden reducing option must submit a Form A for such
chemicals meeting the conditions described below, and
should not submit a Form R to the TRI Data Processing
Center for that chemical. The information submitted on the
Form A includes facility identification information and the
chemical or chemical category identity. The information
submitted on the Form A will appear in the TRI data base in
the same manner that information submitted on Form R
appears. An approved Form A and a magnetic version of
reporting have been included in this Reporting Forms and
Instructions package.
D.3 What is the Total Annual
Reportable Amount?
For the purpose of this optional reporting modification, the
annual reportable amount is equal to the combined total
quantities released at the facility (including disposed within
the facility), treated at the facility (as represented by amounts
destroyed or converted by treatment processes), recovered at
the facility as a result of recycle operations, combusted for
the purpose of energy recovery at the facility, and amounts
transferred from the facility to off-site locations for the
purpose of recycle, energy recovery, treatment, and/or
disposal. These volumes correspond to the sum of amounts
reportable for data elements on EPA Form R (EPA Form
9350-1; Rev. 04/97) as Part II column B of section 8, data
elements 8.1 (quantity released), 8.2 (quantity used for
energy recovery on-site), 8.3 (quantity used for energy
recovery off-site), 8.4 (quantity recycled on-site), 8.5
(quantity recycled off-site), 8.6 (quantity treated on-site), and
8.7 (quantity treated off-site).
D.4 Recordkeeping
Each owner or operator who determines that they are eligible,
and wishes to apply the alternate threshold to a particular
chemical, must retain records substantiating this
determination for a period of three years from the date of the
submission of the Form A. These records must include
sufficient documentation to support calculations as well as
the calculations made by the facility that confirm their
eligibility for each chemical for which the alternate threshold
was applied.
A facility that fits within the category description, and
manufactures, processes or otherwise uses no more than
one-million pounds of an EPCRA section 313 chemical
annually, and whose owner/operator elects to take advantage
of the alternate threshold, is not considered an EPCRA
section 313 covered facility for that chemical for the purpose
of submitting a Form R. This determination may provide
further regulatory relief from other federal or state
regulations that apply to facilities on the basis of their
EPCRA section 313 reporting status. A facility will need to
reference other applicable regulations to determine if their
actual requirements may be affected by this reporting
modification.
D.5 Multi-establishment Facilities
For the purposes of using Form A, the facility must also
make its determination based upon the entire facility's
operations including all of its establishments (see 59 FR
61488 for greater detail). If the facility as a whole is able to
take advantage of the alternate threshold, a single Form A is
required. The eligibility to submit a Form A must be made
on a whole facility determination. Thus, all of the
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 69
-------
Facility Eligibility Determination for Alternate Threshold and for Reporting on EPA Form A
information necessary to make the determination must be
assembled to the facility level.
D.6 Trade Secrets
When making a trade secret claim on a Form A submission,
EPA is requiring that a facility submit a unique Form A for
each EPCRA section 313 chemical meeting the conditions of
the alternate threshold. Facilities may assert a trade secrecy
claim for a chemical identity on the Form A as on the Form
R. Reports submitted on a per chemical basis protect against
the disclosure of trade secrets. Form As with trade secrecy
claims, like Form Rs with similar claims, will be separately
handled upon receipt to protect against disclosure.
Commingling trade secret chemical identities with non-trade
secret chemical identities on the same submission increases
the risk of disclosure.
Do not submit trade secret reports electronically or
on diskette.
D.7 Metals and Metal
Category Compounds
For metal category compounds, the category level of 500
pounds applies to the amount of parent metal waste that is
reported on Form R, but the thresholds apply to the amount of
metal category compounds manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used. For Form A certification involving both
listed parent metals and associated metal compounds, the one
million pound alternate threshold must be applied separately
to the listed parent metal and the associated metal
compound(s). Threshold determinations must be made
independently for each because they are separately listed
EPCRA section 313 chemicals.
If both the parent metal and the associated metal
compounds exceed the alternate threshold, then the
facility has the option of filing one Form R for both,
using the metal category compound name and
reporting total releases based on parent metal
content.
If the threshold is exceeded for the listed parent
metal but not the associated metal category
compounds, then the releases of metal reported on
Form R for the parent metal need not include the
releases from the metal category compounds.
If neither the parent metal nor the associated metal
compounds exceed the alternate threshold, then the
facility must use a separate listing on Form A for
each, since the reporting thresholds must be applied
to each listed parent metal and all compounds in the
associated compound category. EPA believes it is
appropriate to make this distinction between filing
the Form R and Form A because the Form R
accounts for amounts of metal released or otherwise
managed and Form A verifies that the alternate
threshold for each listed chemical or chemical
category has not been exceeded.
Similarly, separate listings on Form A must be submitted for
all other listed chemicals even if EPA allows one listing on
Form R to be filed for two or more listed chemicals, (e.g.,
o-xylene, p-xylene and xylene (mixed isomers)). For
example, if a facility processes in three separate process
streams, xylene (mixed isomers), o-xylene, and p-xylene, and
exceeds the conditions of the alternate threshold for each of
these listed substances, the facility may combine the
appropriate information on the o-xylene, p-xylene, and
xylene (mixed isomers) into one Form R, but cannot combine
the reports into one listing on Form A.
Facilities that process o-xylene, p-xylene, and xylene (mixed
isomers) in separate process streams and do not exceed the
conditions of the alternate threshold for one or more of the
compounds may submit a separate Form A for each of the
forms of xylene meeting the alternate threshold and report on
Form R for those forms that do not. Similar to reporting on
the parent metals and their associated category compounds
described above, facilities that separately process all types
(i.e., isomers) of xylene with individual activity levels within
the conditions of the alternate threshold should file a separate
Form A for each type of xylene.
70 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
E. Instructions for Completing EPA Form A Certification Statement
Beginning with the 1998 reporting year, facilities may enter
as many chemicals as are eligible on a single Form A.
Do not submit trade secret reports electronically or on
diskette.
For all parts of Form A:
You should type or print information on the form in
the format requested and use black ink. (Using blue
ink for the certification signature is suggested as a
means of indicating its originality.)
All information on the Form A is required.
Do not leave items in Parts I and II on the Form A
blank unless specifically directed to do so; if an item
does not apply to you, you should enter NA in the
space provided. If your information does not fill all
the spaces provided for a type of information, enter
NA, in the next blank space in the sequence.
Do not submit an incomplete form. The certification
statement (Part I, Section 3) specifies that the report
is complete as submitted. See page 1 of these
instructions for the definition of a complete
submission.
Part I. Facility Identification
Information
Section 1. Reporting Year
This is the calendar year to which the reported information
applies, not the year in which you are submitting the report.
Information for the reporting year 2003 must be submitted on
or before July 1,2004.
Section 2. Trade Secret Information
2.1 Are you claiming the EPCRA Section 313 chemical
identified on page 2 a trade secret?
If facilities wish to report more than one eligible chemical on
the same Form A, then they are not able to make trade
secrecy claims. Any trade secrecy claims should be made on
a separate form, and then the process is the same as using the
Form R and as described in the following instructions.
The specific identity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
being reported in Part II, Section 1, may be designated as a
trade secret. If you are making a trade secret claim, mark
"yes" and proceed to Section 2.2. Only check "yes" if you
manufacture, process, or otherwise use the EPCRA section
313 chemical whose identity is a trade secret. (See page 2 of
these instructions for specific information on trade secrecy
claims.) If you checked "no," proceed to Section 3; do not
answer Section 2.2.
2.2 If "yes" in 2.1, is this copy sanitized or unsanitized?
You should check "sanitized" if this copy of the report is the
public version that does not contain the EPCRA section 313
chemical identity but does contain a generic name in its place,
and you have claimed the EPCRA section 313 chemical
identity trade secret in Part I, Section 2.1. Otherwise, check
"unsanitized."
Section 3. Certification
The Form A must be signed by a senior official with
management responsibility for the person (or persons)
completing the form. A senior management official must
certify the accuracy and completeness of the information
reported on the form by signing and dating the Form A. Each
report must contain an original signature. Unlike the
certification statement contained on Form R, the certification
statement provided on the Alternate Threshold Form A
pertains to the facility's eligibility of having met the
conditions as described in Section D or in the Federal
Register 59 FR 61488 (November 30, 1994). You should
print or type in the space provided the name and title of the
person who signs the statement. This certification statement
applies to all the information supplied on the form and should
be signed only after the form has been completed.
Section 4. Facility Identification
4.1 Facility Name, Location, and TRI Facility
Identification Number
Enter the full name that the facility presents to the public and
its customers in doing business (e.g., the name that appears
on invoices, signs, and other official business documents).
Do not use a nickname for the facility (e.g., Main Street
Plant) unless that is the legal name of the facility under which
it does business. Also enter the street address, mailing
address, city, county, state, and zip code in the space
provided. Do not use a post office box number as the street
address. The street address provided must be the location
where the EPCRA section 313 chemicals are manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used. If your mailing address and
street address are the same, you should enter NA in the space
for the mailing address.
If your facility is not in a county, put the name of your city,
district (for example District of Columbia), or parish (if you
are in Louisiana) in the county block of the Form R and
Form A as well as in the County field of TRI-ME. "NA" or
"None" are not acceptable entries.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions 71
-------
Instructions for Completing Part I of EPA Form A
If you have submitted a Form A or Form R for previous
reporting years, a TRI Facility Identification Number has
been assigned to your facility. If you know your TRI Facility
Identification Number, complete Section 4. If you do not
know your TRI Facility Identification Number, contact the
EPCRA Call Center (see page 7). If your facility has moved,
do not enter your TRI facility identification number, you
should enter "New Facility."
The TRI Facility Identification Number is established by the
first Form R submitted by a facility at a particular location.
This identification number is retained by the facility even if
the facility changes name, ownership, production processes,
SIC codes, etc. This identification number will stay with this
location. If a new facility moves to this location it should use
this TRI Facility Identification Number. Establishments of a
facility that report separately should use the TRI Facility
Identification Number of the facility.
You should enter "New Facility" in the space for the TRI
Facility Identification number if this is your first submission.
4.2 Federal Facility Designation
Executive Order 13148 directs federal facilities to comply
with Right-To-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention
Requirements. Please indicate in 4.2. C. if the reporting
facility is a federal facility or in 4.2.D if the submitter is a
contractor at a federal facility (GOCO). If the reporting
facility is not a federal facility, you should leave this space
blank. Form R allows a facility to report multiple
submissions for the same chemical if the facility is composed
of several distinct establishments. This data element provides
the option of reporting full or partial facility information on
Form R, however, this is not applicable for those facilities
taking advantage of the Alternate Threshold and Form A.
An explanation of this is provided in Section D.
4.3 Technical Contact
Enter the name and telephone number (including area code)
of a technical representative whom EPA or state officials may
contact for clarification of the information reported on Form
A. You should also enter an email address for this person. If
the technical contact does not have an email address you
should enter NA. This contact person does not have to be the
same person who prepares the report or signs the Form A and
does not necessarily need to be someone at the location of the
reporting facility. However, this person should be familiar
with the details of the report so that he or she can answer
questions about the information provided.
4.4 Intentionally Left Blank
4.5 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code
Enter the appropriate four-digit Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Code that is the primary SIC Code for
your facility in Section 4.5(a). Enter any other applicable
SIC Codes for your facility in 4.5 (b)-(f). Table I lists the
SIC codes within 10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12
(except 1241), 20-39, 4911 (limited to facilities that combust
coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating electricity for
distribution in commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4939 (limited to
facilities that combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of
generating electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953
(limited to facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C, 42
U.S.C. section 6921 etseq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery services on a
contract or fee basis). If the report covers more than one
establishment, enter the primary four-digit SIC code for each
establishment starting with the primary SIC code for the
entire facility. You are required to enter SIC codes only for
those establishments within the facilities that fall within SIC
codes 10 (except 1011, 1081, and 1094), 12 (except 1241),
20-39, 4911 (limited to facilities that combust coal and/or oil
for the purpose of generating electricity for distribution in
commerce), 4931 (limited to facilities that combust coal
and/or oil for the purpose of generating electricity for
distribution in commerce), 4939 (limited to facilities that
combust coal and/or oil for the purpose of generating
electricity for distribution in commerce), 4953 (limited to
facilities regulated under the RCRA Subtitle C, 42 U.S.C.
section6921 etseq.), 5169, 5171, and 7389 (limitedto
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery services on a
contract or fee basis). If you do not know your SIC code,
consult the 1987 SIC Manual (see section B.2 of these
instruction for ordering information).
The North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS), is a new economic classification system that will
replace the 1987 SIC code system. EPA will address the SIC
code change, as it relates to EPCRA, in an upcoming Federal
Register notice. This upcoming change does NOT affect the
2003 EPCRA section 313 reporting.
4.6 Latitude and Longitude
Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility.
Sources of these data include EPA permits (e.g., NPDES
permits), county property records, facility blueprints, and site
plans. You can determine the latitude and longitude of your
facility using a siting tool found on the TRI Home page. For
information on the siting tool and instructions on how to
determine these coordinates see Appendix E. Enter only
numerical data. Do not preface numbers with letters such as
N or W to denote the hemisphere.
72 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Instructions for Completing Part I of EPA Form A
Latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are very
important for pinpointing the location of reporting facilities
and are required elements on the Form R. EPA encourages
facilities to make the best possible measurements when
determining latitude and longitude. Please check to make
sure the latitude and longitude coordinates of your facility are
correct. For the continental United States readings should be
within 24ซ 23'58" and 49- 9.2'16" latitude, and 66- 53'06" and
124ซ 50'55" longitude. For Alaska readings should be within
51- iO'30" and 71- 26'04" latitude, and 129- 59'29" and
187* 39'08" longitude. For Hawaii readings should be within
18ซ51'56" and28ซ30'59" latitude, and 154ซ45'21" and
178* 26'25" longitude. As with any other data field, missing,
suspect, or incorrect data may generate an error notice in the
Facility Data Profile to be issued to the facility. (See
Appendix C)
4.7 Dun & Bradstreet Number(s)
Enter the nine-digit number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet
(D & B) for your facility or each establishment within your
facility. These numbers code the facility for financial
purposes. This number may be available from your facility's
treasurer or financial officer. You can also obtain the
numbers from your local D & B office (check the telephone
book White Pages). If a facility does not subscribe to the D
& B service, a number can be obtained, toll free at 800 234-
3867 (8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Local Time) or on the Web at
. If none of your establishments has been
assigned a D & B number, you should enter NA in box (a). If
only some of your establishments have been assigned Dun &
Bradstreet numbers, enter those numbers in Part I, section
4.7.
4.8 EPA Identification Number(s)
The EPA Identification Number is a 12-character number
assigned to facilities covered by hazardous waste regulations
under Resource and Conservation and Recovery Act.
Facilities not covered by RCRA are not likely to have an
assigned Identification Number. If your facility is not
required to have an Identification Number, you should enter
NA in box (a). If your facility has been assigned multiple
EPA Identification Numbers, you must enter those numbers
in the spaces provided in Section 4.8.
4.9 Facility NPDES Permit Number(s)
Enter the numbers of any permits your facility holds under
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) even if the permit(s) do not pertain to the EPCRA
section 313 chemical being reported. This nine-character
permit number is assigned to your facility by EPA or the state
under the authority of the Clean Water Act. If your facility
does not have a permit, you should enter NA in Section 4.9a.
4.10 Underground Injection Well Code (UIC)
Identification Number(s)
If your facility has a permit to inject a waste containing the
EPCRA section 313 chemical into Class 1 deep wells, enter
the 12-digit Underground Injection Well Code (UIC)
identification number assigned by EPA or by the state under
the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act. If your facility
does not hold such a permit(s), you should enter NA in
Section 4. lOa. You are required to provide the UIC number
for wells that receive the EPCRA section 313 chemical being
reported in the current reporting year.
Section 5. Parent Company Information
You must provide information on your parent company. For
purposes of the Form A, a parent company is defined as the
highest level company, located in the United States, that
directly owns at least 50% of the voting stock of your
company. If your facility is owned by a foreign entity, you
should enter NA in this space. Corporate names should be
treated as parent company names for companies with
multiple facility sites. For example, the Bestchem
Corporation is not owned or controlled by any other
corporation but has sites throughout the country whose names
begin with Bestchem. In this case, Bestchem Corporation
should be listed as the parent company. Note that a facility
that is a 50:50 joint venture is its own parent company.
When a facility is owned by more than one company and
there is no parent company for the entire facility (meaning
that none of the facility owners directly owns at least 50
percent of the voting stock of the facility at issue), the facility
should provide the name of the parent company of either the
facility operator or the owner with the largest ownership
interest in the facility. If neither the operator nor this owner
has a parent company, then the NA box should be checked.
5.1 Name of Parent Company
Enter the name of the corporation or other business entity
that is your ultimate US parent company. If your facility has
no parent company, you should check the NA box.
5.2 Parent Company's Dun & Bradstreet Number
Enter the Dun & Bradstreet (D & B) Number for your
ultimate US parent company, if applicable. The number may
be obtained from the treasurer or financial officer of the
company. If your parent company does not have a D & B
number, you should check the NA box.

Instructions for Completing Part II of EPA Form A
Part II. Chemical Identification
Reporting on the Alternate Threshold Form A Certification
Statement for metals, metal category compounds, and mixed
isomers differs somewhat from Form R reporting. Please
refer to Section D for these guidelines.
Section 1. Toxic Chemical Identity
(Important: DO NOT complete this section if you completed
Section 2 of Part II below.)
1.1 CAS Number
Enter the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number
in Section 1.1 exactly as it appears in Table II of these
instructions for the chemical being reported. CAS numbers
are cross-referenced with an alphabetical list of chemical
names in Table II. If you are reporting one of the EPCRA
section 313 chemical categories (e.g., chromium compounds),
you should enter the applicable category code in the CAS
number space. EPCRA section 313 chemical category codes
are listed below and can also be found in Table He and
Appendix B-l.
EPCRA section 313 Chemical Category Codes
NO 10 Antimony compounds
N020 Arsenic compounds
N040 Barium compounds
N050 Beryllium compounds
N078 Cadmium compounds
N084 Chlorophenols
N090 Chromium compounds
N096 Cobalt compounds
N100 Copper compounds
N106 Cyanide compounds
N120 Diisocyanates
N150 Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds*
N171 Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic acid, salts and esters
(EBDCs)
N230 Certain glycol ethers
N420 Lead compounds*
N450 Manganese compounds
N458 Mercury compounds*
N495 Nickel compounds
N503 Nicotine and salts
N511 Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable
only when in aqueous solution)
N575 Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)

N590 Poly cyclic aromatic compounds (PACs)*
N725 Selenium compounds
N740 Silver compounds
N746 Strychnine and salts
N760 Thallium compounds
N770 Vanadium compounds
N874 Warfarin and salts
N982 Zinc compounds
*Facilities cannot take the alternate threshold for chemicals
and chemical categories listed as PBT chemicals.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the CAS
number or should report the category code on your unsanitized
Form A and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not include the
CAS number or category code on your sanitized Form A or
sanitized substantiation form.
1.2 EPCRA Section 313 Chemical or
Chemical Category Name
Enter the name of the EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemical
category exactly as it appears in Table II. If the EPCRA section
313 chemical name is followed by a synonym in (parentheses),
report the chemical by the name that directly follows the CAS
number (i.e., not the synonym). If the EPCRA section 313
chemical identity is actually a product trade name (e.g., dicofol),
the 9th Collective Index name is listed below it in brackets.
You may report either name in this case.
Do not list the name of a chemical that does not appear in Table
II, such as individual members of an EPCRA section 313
chemical category. For example, if you use silver chloride, do
not report silver chloride with its CAS number. Report this
chemical as "silver compounds" with its category code N740.
If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the
specific EPCRA section 313 chemical identity on your
unsanitized Form A and unsanitized substantiation form. Do
not report the name of the EPCRA section 313 chemical on
your sanitized Form A or sanitized substantiation form. Include
a generic name in Part II, Section 1.3 of your sanitized Form A.
1.3 Generic Chemical Name
Complete Section 1.3 only if you are claiming the specific
EPCRA section 313 chemical identity of the EPCRA section
313 chemical as a trade secret and have marked the trade secret
block in Part I, Section 2.1 on page 1 of Form A. Enter a
generic chemical name that is descriptive of the chemical
structure. You should limit the generic name to seventy
characters (e.g., numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation) or less.
Do not enter mixture names in Section 1.3; see Section 2 below.
In-house plant codes and other substitute names that are not
structurally descriptive of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
identity being withheld as a trade secret are not acceptable as a
generic name. The generic name must appear on both sanitized
and unsanitized Form A, and the name must be the same as that
used on your substantiation forms.

Table II. EPCRA Section 313 Chemical List For Reporting Year 2002
(including Toxic Chemical Categories)
Individually listed EPCRA Section 313 chemicals with CAS numbers are arranged alphabetically starting on page II-3. Following
the alphabetical list, the EPCRA Section 313 chemicals are arranged in CAS number order. Covered chemical categories follow.
Certain EPCRA Section 313 chemicals listed in Table II have parenthetic "qualifiers." These qualifiers indicate that these EPCRA
Section 313 chemicals are subj ect to the section 313 reporting requirements if manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in a specific
form or when a certain activity is performed. The following chemicals are reportable only if they are manufactured, processed, or
otherwise used in the specific form(s) listed below:
Chemical
Aluminum (fume or dust)
Aluminum oxide (fibrous forms)
Ammonia (includes anhydrous ammonia and aqueous ammonia
from water dissociable ammonium salts and other sources; 10
percent of total aqueous ammonia is reportable under this listing)
Asbestos (friable)
CAS
Number

Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, 7647-01-0
and other airborne forms of any particle size)
Phosphorus (yellow or white) 7723-14-0
Sulfuric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and 7664-93-9
other airborne forms of any particle size)
Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy) 7440-62-2
Zinc (fume or dust) 7440-66-6
Qualifier
Only if it is a fume or dust form.
Only if it is a fibrous form.
Only 10% of aqueous forms. 100%
of anhydrous forms.
Only if it is a friable form.
Only if it is an aerosol form as
defined.
Only if it is a yellow or white form.
Only if it is an aerosol form as
defined.
Except if it is contained in an alloy.
Only if it is in a fume or dust form.
The qualifier for the following three chemicals is based on the chemical activity rather than the form of the chemical. These chemicals
are subject to EPCRA section 313 reporting requirements only when the indicated activity is performed.
Chemical/ Chemical Category CAS Number
Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds NA
(manufacturing; and the processing or otherwise use
of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds if the dioxin
and dioxin-like compounds are present as
contaminants in a chemical and if they were created
during the manufacture of that chemical.)
Isopropyl alcohol only (only persons who 67-63-0
manufacture by the strong acid process are subject,
no supplier notification)
Saccharin only persons who manufacture are 81-07-2
subject, no supplier notification)
Qualifier
Only if they are manufactured at the
facility; or are processed or otherwise
used when present as contaminants in a
chemical but only if they were created
during the manufacture of that chemical.
Only if it is being manufactured by the
strong acid process. Facilities that
process or otherwise use isopropyl alcohol
are not covered.
Only if it is being manufactured.
There are no supplier notification requirements for isopropyl alcohol and saccharin since the processors and users of these chemicals
are not required to report. Manufacturers of these chemicals do not need to notify their customers that these are reportable EPCRA
section 313 chemicals.
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Form and Instructions II-1
-------
Table II
Note: Chemicals may be added to or deleted from the list. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Call
Center, 800 424-9346, or 703 412-9810, will provide up-to-date information on the status of these changes. See section B.3.c of
the instructions for more information on the de minimis values listed below. There are no de minimis levels for PBT chemicals
since the de minimis exemption is not available for these chemicals (an asterisk appears where a de minimis limit would
otherwise appear in Table II). However, for purposes of the supplier notification requirement only, such limits are provided in
Appendix D.
Chemical Qualifiers
This table contains the list of individual EPCRA Section 313
chemicals and categories of chemicals subject to 2002 calendar
year reporting. Some of the EPCRA Section 313 chemicals
listed have parenthetic qualifiers listed next to them. An EPCRA
Section 313 chemical that is listed without a qualifier is subject
to reporting in all forms in which it is manufactured, processed,
and otherwise used.
Fume or dust. Two of the metals on the list (aluminum and
zinc) contain the qualifier "fume or dust." Fume or dust refers to
dry forms of these metals but does not refer to "wet" forms such
as solutions or slurries. As explained in Section B.3.a of these
instructions, the term manufacture includes the generation of an
EPCRA Section 313 chemical as a byproduct or impurity. In
such cases, a facility should determine if, for example, it
generated more than 25,000 pounds of aluminum fume or dust in
the reporting year as a result of its activities. If so, the facility
must report that it manufactures "aluminum (fume or dust)."
Similarly, there may be certain technologies in which one of
these metals is processed in the form of a fume or dust to make
other EPCRA Section 313 chemicals or other products for
distribution in commerce. In reporting releases, the facility
would only report releases of the fume or dust.
EPA considers dusts to consist of solid particles generated by any
mechanical processing of materials including crushing, grinding,
rapid impact, handling, detonation, and decrepitation of organic
and inorganic materials such as rock, ore, and metal. Dusts do
not tend to flocculate, except under electrostatic forces.
EPA considers a fume to be an airborne dispersion consisting of
small solid particles created by condensation from a gaseous
state, in distinction to a gas or vapor. Fumes arise from the
heating of solids such as lead. The condensation is often
accompanied by a chemical reaction, such as oxidation. Fumes
flocculate and sometimes coalesce.
Manufacturing qualifiers. Two of the entries in the EPCRA
Section 313 chemical list contain a qualifier relating to
manufacture. For isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier is "only
persons who manufacture by the strong acid process are subject."
For saccharin, the qualifier is "only persons who manufacture are
subject, no supplier notification." For isopropyl alcohol, the
qualifier means that only facilities manufacturing isopropyl
alcohol by the strong acid process are required to report. In the
case of saccharin, only manufacturers of the EPCRA Sections 13
chemical are subject to the reporting requirements. A facility
that processes or otherwise uses either EPCRA Section 313
chemical would not be required to report for those EPCRA
Section 313 chemicals. In both cases, supplier notification does
not apply because only manufacturers, not users, of the EPCRA
Section 313 chemical must report.
Ammonia (includes anhydrous ammonia and aqueous
ammonia from water dissociable ammonium salts and other
sources; 10 percent of total aqueous ammonia is reportable
under this listing). The qualifier for ammonia means that
anhydrous forms of ammonia are 100% reportable and aqueous
forms are limited to 10% of total aqueous ammonia. Therefore
when determining threshold and releases and other waste
management quantities all anhydrous ammonia is included but
only 10% of total aqueous ammonia is included. Any
evaporation of ammonia from aqueous ammonia solutions is
considered anhydrous ammonia and should be included in
threshold determinations and release and other waste
management calculations.
Sulfuric acid and Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols including
mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any
particle size). The qualifier for sulfuric acid and hydrochloric
acid means that the only forms of these chemicals that are
reportable are airborne forms. Aqueous solutions are not
covered by this listing but any aerosols generated from aqueous
solutions are covered.
Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when
in aqueous solution). The qualifier for the nitrate compounds
category limits the reporting to nitrate compounds that dissociate
in water, generating nitrate ion. For the purposes of threshold
determinations the entire weight of the nitrate compound must be
included in all calculations. For the purposes of reporting
releases and other waste management quantities only the weight
II-2 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Table II
of the nitrate ion should be included in the calculations of these
quantities.
Phosphorus (yellow or white). The listing for phosphorus is
qualified by the term "yellow or white." This means that only
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of phosphorus in the
yellow or white chemical form triggers reporting. Conversely,
manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use of "black" or "red"
phosphorus does not trigger reporting. Supplier notification also
applies only to distribution of yellow or white phosphorus.
Asbestos (friable). The listing for asbestos is qualified by the
term "friable," referring to the physical characteristic of being
able to be crumbled, pulverized, or reducible to a powder with
hand pressure. Only manufacturing, processing, or otherwise use
of asbestos in the friable form triggers reporting. Supplier
notification applies only to distribution of mixtures or other trade
name products containing friable asbestos.
Aluminum Oxide (fibrous forms). The listing for aluminum
oxide is qualified by the term "fibrous forms." Fibrous refers to
a man-made form of aluminum oxide that is processed to
produce strands or filaments which can be cut to various lengths
depending on the application. Only manufacturing, processing,
or otherwise use of aluminum oxide in the fibrous form triggers
reporting. Supplier notification applies only to distribution of
mixtures or other trade name products containing fibrous forms
of aluminum oxide.

Appendix A. Federal Facility Reporting Information
Special Instructions for TRI Federal
Facility Reporting
Why Do Federal Facilities
Need to Report?
Executive Order 13148, Greening the Government Through
Leadership in Environmental Management, requires federal
agencies to comply with the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). Federal facilities
have been subject to EPCRA section 313 and PPA since
reporting year 1994. TRI submissions are due to EPA on
July 1 of the year following each reporting (calendar) year.
Reporting by the federal facility does not alter the reporting
obligation of on-site contractors. "Nothing in this order
alters the obligations under EPCRA, PPA, and CAA
independent of this order for Government-owned,
contractor-operated facilities and Government corporations
owning or operating facilities or subjects such facilities to
EPCRA, PPA, or CAA if they are otherwise excluded.
However, each agency shall include the releases and other
waste management of chemicals for all such facilities to
meet the agency's reporting responsibilities under section
501 of this order." Section 902(c).
Identifying Federal Facility Reports
Federal facility reports are identified as federal by several
indicators on the form. The facility name and parent
company name are critical indicators and must be reported
as described below. Another critical indicator is the federal
facility report box, Part I, 4.2c. Federal facilities only
should check this box to indicate that the report is from a
federal agency for a federal facility; federal facilities should
not check the GOCO box, (Part I, Section 4.2d of the Form
R). Contractors located at federal facilities (GOCOs)
should check the GOCO box (Part I, Section 4.2d of the
Form R); they should not check the box 4.2c. Facilities
should also complete the partial or complete facility blocks
(Form R page 2, block 4.2a and 4.2b) as appropriate. If you
are a federal facility reporting for the first time, you should
write "new" in the TRI Facility ID (TRIFID) box, even if a
contractor has reported for your facility in the past. The
contractor will retain the original TRIFID. You will be
assigned a new TRIFID the first time you report.
The "Double Counting" Problem
As structured, the law and the executive order require both
regulated industries and the federal government to report TRI
data, sometimes for the same site. In order to prevent duplicate
data in the TRI database, which could result in "double
counting" data for some chemicals and locations, EPA must be
able to identify and distinguish the "Government Owned
Contractor Operated" (GOCO) reports submitted by the federal
contractor from the federal facility reports which contain data for
the same site. To accomplish this, federal facility reports should
be accompanied by either 1) exact copies (paper or electronic)
of all contractor TRI reports, including when the totals reported
by the federal facility are greater than that reported by the
contractor(s), or 2) a cover letter which includes a list of the
facility contractors which submit TRI reports to EPA,
identifying each contractor by name, TRI technical contact, and
TRI facility name and address. Additionally, federal facilities
should check Form R, Part I, Section 4.2c, while contractors at
federal facilities should check Form R, Part I, Section 4.2d.
Magnetic Media Reporting
EPA encourages all federal facilities and GOCO facilities to
report using either EPA's Magnetic Media reporting software,
or one of the commercially available packages. If the GOCO
submits its reports on magnetic media to EPA and to the federal
facility, the federal facility may submit magnetic media copies
of their GOCO TRI reports to EPA provided that those reports
account for all subject activities at the facility. Magnetic media
reports must be accompanied by a cover letter which includes:
Required Form R certification statement;
List of the chemicals reported on the federal facility's
disk; and
List that identifies the contractor(s) [if any] by name
and and by TRIFID number if they have an assigned
TRIFID number, and the chemicals they reported
(which are on the contractors' attachment disk(s))
How to Report Your Facility Name
Facility name is a critical data element. It is used by EPA to
create the TRI facility ID number, which is a unique number
designed to identify a facility site. The facility name and
TRIFID number are used by all TRI data users to link data from
a single site across multiple reporting years. A federal facility
is assigned a new TRIFID number when the federal report is

Appendix A
entered into the Toxics Release Inventory system for the
first time. This TRIFID number, generated when the first
report is entered into the Toxics Release Inventory System,
will be included in future reporting packages sent to the
federal facility, and should be used by the federal facility in
all future reports.
Federal facilities should report their facility name on page
1 of the FormRs (Section 4.1), as shown in the following
example:
U.S. DOE Savannah River Site
It is very important that the agency name appear first,
followed by the specific plant or site name.
Federal contractors at GOCO facilities should report their
names as shown in the following example:
U.S. DOE Savannah River Site Westinghouse
Operations.
How to Report Your Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Code
Federal facilities should report the SIC code which most
closely represents the activities taking place at the site.
Additional guidance on determining your SIC code is
provided in the Forms and Instructions booklet. The table
on the next page contains Public Administration SIC codes
91-97 covering executive, legislative, judicial,
administrative and regulatory activities of the Federal
government. Government-owned and operated business
establishments are classified in major SIC groups 01-89
according to the activity in which they are engaged. For
example, a Veterans Hospital would be classified in Group
806 Hospitals.
How to Report Your "Parent
Company" Name
Federal facilities should report their parent company name
on page 2 of the Form Rs (Section 5.1) by reporting their
complete Department or Agency name, as shown in the
following example:
U.S. Department of Energy
Block 5.2, Parent Company's Dun& BradstreetNumber, should
be marked NA.
Federal contractors at GOCO facilities should not report a
federal department or agency name as their parent company. A
federal name in the parent company name field will classify the
report as federal, and the GOCO may be identified as a non-
reporter.
How to Revise Your Data After It Has Been
Submitted
Any TRI Form R submitter may voluntarily revise their
submission if they find errors after their reports have been sent
to EPA. If the revision is to a hardcopy report, the facility
should photocopy the original form, you should use a blue or
black pen to mark out the incorrect value and write in the
corrected value. The revised report should be submitted to EPA,
with an "X" in the revision block on page 1 of the Form R. If
the revision is to a diskette, a new diskette should be submitted,
containing the data only for the revised submission, not all the
chemicals originally reported. If afederal facility receives a copy
of a revision from a contractor located at the federal facility, the
facility should revise the federal report, and submit the revised
report to EPA and the appropriate state along with an exact copy
of the contractor's revision. The cover letter from the federal
facility should indicate that its submission is a revision.
National Security Data
DO NOT SUBMIT NATIONAL SECURITY DATA TO THE
TRI DATA PROCESSING CENTER. National security data
are handled through a separate process. Facilities should consult
the Guidance for Implementing Executive Order 12856
documents (this guidance for Executive Order 12856, which was
superceded by Executive Order 13148, still applies for national
security issues) or call the EPCRA Call Center if their Form R
submission involves a national security data claim.
Who Should Sign Federal Form R
Reports?
Federal Form R reports should be signed by the senior federal
employee on-site. If no federal employee is on-site, federal
Form R reports must be signed by the senior federal employee
with management responsibility for the site. Federal Form R
reports should be signed by a federal employee. Contractor
employee signatures are not considered valid on federal reports.

Appendix B
Reporting the Waste Management of Metals.
This appendix outlines how the TRI-ME 2003 reporting software restricts reporting for metals when the specific data element or
waste management code is not applicable for a particular chemical. Below is a list of metals divided into four groups along with
charts that help explain where quantities of these chemicals can and can not be reported on the Form R using TRI-ME. In
addition, there are charts that explain restrictions on reporting waste management codes for the toxic chemicals in each of the
four groups. This appendix only shows where reporting is restricted in TRI-ME, it does not indicate every situation where a
metal should not be reported in a specific section of the form. For example, TRI-ME does not restrict the reporting of most
individually-listed metal compounds as used for energy recovery (Sections 8.2 and 8.3) even though some of these chemicals do
not have a heat value greater that 5000 British thermal units (Btu) and thus, can not be combusted for energy recovery. It is left
to the facility to decide which of these toxic chemicals can be used for energy recovery. If you are not using TRI-ME this
appendix can serve as a guide to help you understand where it is not appropriate to report certain quantities of toxic chemicals or
waste management codes on your Form R.

Any toxic chemical may be reported in Section 6.2, however, TRI-ME will not allow certain M codes to be used when reporting
metals. The chart below indicates which M codes can be reported in Section 6.2 for the four groups of metals. Note that all
disposal M codes other than M41 and M62 can be used for all toxic chemicals. Code M24 is only made available for the four
groups of metals.

Section 7A. On-site Waste Treatment Methods and Efficiency
TRI-ME allows any toxic chemical to be reported in Section 7A, however, it limits the treatment codes that can be reported based
on the General Waste Stream Code selected. If a TRI-ME user selects General Waste Stream code "A - Gaseous", all Waste
Treatment Codes are made available. However, if a user selects from the remaining three General Waste Stream Codes (W -
Wastewater, L - Liquid waste streams, or S - Solid waste streams), the "Air Emissions Treatment" Waste Treatment Codes are
not made available.
Although TRI-ME does not restrict reporting of most individually-listed metal compounds as transferred off site for
energy recovery, only chemicals with a heat value greater than 5000 British thermal units that are combusted in a device that is
an industrial furnace or boiler (40 CFR Section 372.3) should be reported as used for energy recovery.
The toxic chemical category barium compounds (N040) does not include barium sulfate. Because barium sulfate is
not a listed toxic chemical, the conversion in a waste stream of barium or a barium compound to barium sulfate is considered
treatment for destruction (40 CFR Section 372.3).

Appendix C. Facility Data Profiles and Common Errors in Completing
Form R Reports and Form A Certifications
EPA wishes to ensure that facilities submit all required TRI chemical submissions in a timely manner so that the information may
be included in its national database, annual public data release, and other information products. Moreover, EPA seeks to ensure that
all submitted data is complete and accurate. This appendix provides an overview of Facility Data Profiles (FDPs), an important
communication tool that EPA uses to ensure consistent, complete, and accurate submissions from reporting facilities. This appendix
also provides specific guidance to avoid common errors in completing Form Rs and Form A Certification Statements, including errors
in threshold determination, misapplication of exemptions, and overlooking activities involving a reportable chemical, any of which
may result in mistaken non-reporting of a chemical.
A. Facility Data Profile (FDP)
Facility Data Profiles (FDPs) are made available by TRI Data
Processing Center to a reporting facility in response to any
submission the TRI Data Processing Center receives. You may
review your FDP on the internet at http://www.triefdp.org. A
submission can include an original or revised Form R or Form
A, or corrections included in a response to a previous FDP.
The FDP serves two primary purposes. First, EPA wants to
give the reporting facility the opportunity to confirm that the
TRI Data Processing Center has entered its data correctly into
EPA's national computer system- i.e. the TRI Data Processing
Center "echoes back" the information that it has received.
Second, if the TRI Data Processing Center identifies potential
errors in the forms a facility has submitted, the FDP indicates
what these errors are and requests that the facility provide EPA
with corrections. If the data presented on a facility's FDP do
not match those on the form(s) it submitted, or if the TRI Data
Processing Center has identified errors in a facility's
submissions, or if a facility discovers errors in its submitted
data, the facility may use the FDP to make the needed
corrections. The FDP does not serve as a means to withdraw
a Form R and/or Form A. Withdrawal requests should be
mailed to the TRI Data Processing Center. For additional
information regarding withdrawal procedures see Section A. 5
of this document or go to . Facilities that
send corrections to their FDPs are encouraged to submit a
revision using CDX. Hard copy FDPs should be signed and
mailed to the address listed in Section A.7.c of this document.
An FDP is comprised of the following sections:
Cover Letter. This page provides the type of
information included in the report; classification of
possible errors noted; and instructions for contacting
help resources.
Instruction and Signature page. This page provides
instructions on how to review and respond to the FDP.
The bottom half of the page provides a certification
statement to be signed by a facility owner/operator or
senior management official.
Summary of Non-Technical Data Changes
(NDCs), Notices of Technical Errors (NOTEs)
and Notices of Significant Errors (NOSEs). FDPs
identify three different types of errors: NDCs,
NOTEs and NOSEs. NDCs and NOTEs are
identified at the end of each chemical report. If you
have no NDCs or NOTEs, this page will indicate so.
There is one page that lists all significant errors
(NOSEs) for your facility's submissions, organized
by chemical submission. The FDP serves as a Notice
of Significant Error. If you have no significant
errors, this page will indicate so.
Facility Information. This section displays all
facility specific data, including TRI Facility
Identification, facility name, facility address, facility
mailing address, relevant permits (e.g., RCRA,
NPDES, andUIC), Standard Industrial Classification
code (SIC), and other facility data. Errors related to
facility information will be provided in this section.
Facility Information (Establishment). If an
establishment reports separately from other
establishments at the facility, this section provides
subordinate facility data. Errors related to this
information will be provided in this section.
Chemical Report Summary. This section lists all
chemicals reported by the facility for each reporting
year covered by the FDP. For example, if the FDP is
responding to five original chemical submissions for
Reporting Year 1999 and revisions to one chemical
for Reporting Year 1998, a list of all chemicals for
both years will appear.
Chemical Reports. All recently processed Form R
or Form A submission data (i.e., chemical specific
data) are displayed here under the appropriate facility
or subordinate facility names. The FDP displays
facsimiles for chemical reports for submissions
received during the current calendar year, revisions
or responses to FDPs only. For example, if a facility
originally reported five chemicals for Reporting Year
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions C-l
-------
Appendix C
1998, and subsequently revises only one chemical
submission, the facility will receive a FDP for
Reporting Year 1998 with only the revised chemical
included in the Chemical Reports section. Hence
there may be fewer chemical reports than chemicals
listed in the Chemical Summary section. If only
facility level changes have occurred (i.e., Part I of the
Form R or A), this section is not provided.
B. Levels of Errors Identified in FDPs:
Notice of Non-Technical Data Change
(NDC), Notice of Technical Errors
(NOTE), Notice of Significant Errors
(NOSE). Notice of Noncompliance (NON).
FDP Error Reporting. In addition to "echoing back" the
information a facility has submitted, FDPs are used to identify
potential errors, as well as indicate where the TRI Data
Processing Center has made minor clerical changes to
submissions. As submission information is entered into EP A's
national database, a series of automated data quality checks are
performed. The data quality checks are useful to identify
potential errors with certain data fields such as TRI Facility
Identification, facility name, county spelling, as well as to
perform validation checks to ensure consistency among data
elements within a given Form R or Form A. These data quality
checks, however, cannot detect whether release, transfer, or
waste management quantities were calculated or entered
accurately. Within a FDP notice, there may be up to three
different types of errors identified.
First, a Non-Technical Data Change (NDC) notifies you of
simple, clerical errors that the TRI Data Processing Center has
corrected for you. It is not necessary to respond to a NDC.
The TRI Data Processing Center will correct simple, clerical
errors that are not technical or scientific a "non-technical
data change." For example, if a facility transposes CAS
numbers (e.g., the submitter lists 7623-00-0 for sodium nitrite
instead of 7632-00-0), the TRI Data Processing Center will
correct this clerical error and display the correct information on
the facility's FDP. If a facility lists a specific glycol ethers
subcategory, the TRI Data Processing Center will replace this
subcategory with the reportable name "certain glycol ethers."
The messages used on FDPs to report non-technical data
changes are shown at the end of this appendix under the
heading "E. Messages Used to Report Notices of Technical
Errors (NOTEs) and Non-technical Data Changes (NDCs)."
Second, a Notice of Technical Error (NOTE) highlights
inconsistencies or miscalculations that may distort your
facility's information in EPA's public data products or skew
analyses. Incomplete addresses, no technical or public contact
provided, missing or invalid SIC codes, or the use of range
codes to report PBT chemical releases are all examples of
technical errors. You should respond to NOTEs as soon as
possible. These types of errors require that the reporting
facility make corrections on its FDP (or provide the TRI Data
Processing Center with a brief explanation why they do not
believe that it is an error) or submit a revised Form R or Form
A. Depending upon when your changes are received, there
may or may not be sufficient time to incorporate them into
EPA's database in time for public data release. Technical
errors do not prevent submissions from being entered into the
data management system, but indicate inconsistencies or
miscalculations in the submitted form. These errors can
distort public information products and skew any analyses if
not corrected. The messages used on FDPs to report NOTEs
are shown below at the end of this appendix under the heading
"E. Messages Used to Report Notices of Technical Errors
(NOTEs) and Non-technical Data Changes (NDCs)."
Third, more serious errors are classified as Notices of
Significant Errors (NOSE). The FDP contains the Notice of
Significant Error if applicable. Significant errors prevent
submissions from being entered into the TRI Data Processing
Center data management system or do not allow the TRI Data
Processing Centerto verify the authenticity of the submission.
Invalid forms, missing pages, no certification signature, no
chemical name or CAS number are examples of significant
errors. These types of errors require that the reporting facility
make corrections on their FDP, submit a revised Form R or
Form A, or provide the TRI Data Processing Center with a
brief explanation why they do not believe that it is an error.
A facility must respond to a Notice of Significant Error within
21 days of receipt. Failure to respond within the initial 21 day
requirement could result in the issuance of a Notice of
Noncompliance (NON). A Notice of Noncompliance is not
included in a FDP and is mailed separately.
The Agency will issue a conditional Notice of
Noncompliance (NON) to a facility for failure to respond to
a Notice of Significant Error (NOSE) within the required
period. A NON will require a facility to take the corrective
action noted in the NOSE within 21 days and respond to the
Agency that corrective action has been taken. If a facility fails
to respond to the NON within the required time period, the
Agency may take further action.
Facilities must keep copies, for three years, of submitted Form
R reports and Form A certifications and all documentation
used to complete their submissions. This documentation
should include calculations for threshold determinations, the
basis of exemptions applied, and the estimation techniques
and data used for all quantities reported on the Form R and
Form A.
C-2 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Appendix C
C. Common Errors in Completing Form
R Reports and Form A Certification
Statements, including Reporting
Determination Errors
General Considerations
Lack of signed Certification Statement. If you
choose not to send your TRI submissions via the
paperless CDX process, you must send a signed
certification statement with your magnetic media
submission or sign Part I, Section 3 of your hard
copy submission.
Incomplete Forms. A complete Form R report for a
single EPCRA section 313 chemical or single EPCRA
section 313 chemical category consists of five pages
stapled together. Each chemical submission must hve
its own page one. EPA cannot enter into the database
data from a package that contains only one page 1, but
several page 2s, 3s, 4s, and/or 5s. Such forms are
considered incomplete submissions.
Threshold Determinations
Calculating threshold determinations. Annual
quantities manufactured, processed, or otherwise used
for section 313 chemicals must be calculated, not
surmised. The assumption that thresholds are exceeded
commonly leads to error.
Misclassification of EPCRA section 313 chemical
activity. Failure to correctly classify an EPCRA
section 313 chemical activity may result in an incorrect
threshold determination. As a result, a facility may fail
to submit the required Form R.
EPCRA section 313 chemical activity overlooked.
Many facilities believe that because the section 313
reporting requirement pertains to manufacturers, only
the use of EPCRA section 313 chemicals in
manufacturing processes must be examined. Any
activity involving the manufacture, process, or
otherwise use of an EPCRA section 313 chemical or
chemical category must be included in threshold
determinations. Commonly overlooked activities
include importation of chemicals, generation of waste
byproducts, processing of naturally occurring metals
and metal category compounds in ore, manufacturing
and processing of reaction intermediates, the use of
chemicals for cleaning of equipment, and the
generation of byproducts during combustion of coal
and/or oil. Facilities should take a systematic approach
to identify all chemicals and mixtures used in
production and non-production capacities, including
catalysts, well treatment chemicals, and wastewater
treatment chemicals.
Considering EPCRA section 313 chemicals in
mixtures and other trade name products. EPCRA
section 313 chemicals contained in mixtures (including
ores and stainless steel alloys) and other trade name
products mustbe factored into threshold determinations
and release and other waste management
determinations, provided that the de minimis exemption
cannot be taken. When the EPCRA section 313
chemical being reported is a component in a mixture or
other trade name product, report only the weight of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical in the mixture. Refer to
Section B.4b of this document to calculate the weight
of an EPCRA section 313 chemical in a mixture or
other trade name product.
Overlooking manufacturing. Coincidental
manufacturing must not be overlooked. If coal and/or
fuel oil and other raw materials that contain EPCRA
section 313 chemicals are used inboilers/burners, there
is a potential for the coincidental manufacture of
EPCRA section 313 chemicals such as sulfuric acid
(acid aerosols), hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols),
hydrogen fluoride, and metal category compounds.
Additionally, manufacturing of EPCRA section 313
chemicals during waste treatment is commonly
overlooked. For example, the treatment of nitric acid
may result in the manufacturing of a reportable
chemical (nitrate compounds).
Container Residue
Overlooking container residue. Container residue
must not be disregarded in release and other waste
management calculations. Even a "RCRA empty"
drum is expected to contain a residue and it must be
considered for TRI reporting. Additionally, on-site
drum rinsing and disposal of the rinsate will result in a
release and other waste management activity. Refer to
"Estimating Releases and Waste Treatment Efficiencies
for Toxic Chemical Reporting Forms."
Part I. Facility Identification Information
Section 1. Reporting Year
Invalid Forms. The correct version of the form for the
reporting year in question must be used. For example,
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions C-3
-------
Appendix C
forms provided for reporting years 1987-1990 must not
be used to report data for reporting years 1991-1995.
Form Rs provided for reporting years 1991-1995 must
not be used to report data for years 1996 and later.
Section 2. Trade Secret Information
Incorrect completion of trade secret information.
The responses to trade secret questions in Part I
Section 2 and Part II Section 1.3 of Form R/Form A
must be consistent. If trade secrecy is indicated, a
sanitized Form R/Form A and two trade secret
substantiations (one sanitized) must be submitted in the
same package as the unsanitized trade secret Form
R/Form A. Part II Section 1.3 should be blank if no
trade secret claim is being made. Also, if you indicate
in Part I, Section 2.1 that you are not claiming trade
secret information, leave Part I, 2.2 blank.
Section 3. Certification
Missing certification signature. If you are submitting
your Form R and/or Form A by hardcopy, an original
certification signature must appear on page 1 of every
Form R and/or Form A submitted to EPA. If you are
submitting your Form R and/or Form A via diskette, a
certification letter containing the certification language
as noted in 40 CFR ง 372.85(b)(2), with the signature
of a senior management official, must accompany the
submission. The certification letter must contain the
certification language. An example of the certification
letter is included in Section A of these instructions.
Section 4. Facility Identification
Incorrect latitude and longitude coordinates.
Latitude and longitude coordinates should be
determined using the correct measurement techniques
and reported in degrees, minutes, and seconds. For
additional guidance, see Appendix E of this document.
"Questionable" entries. Incorrect entries may require
corrections to be made by the facility. Questionable
entries may include:
Missing or incorrect street address;
Missing or incorrect ZIP codes;
Missing County names;
Invalid SIC codes;
Missing or invalid Dun & Bradstreet
numbers;
Missing or invalid RCRA, NPDES, or UIC
numbers; and
Incomplete off-site and POTW
information (e.g., missing city name)
If amounts are reported in units other than pounds (e.g., metric
units) or with exponential numbers, EPA may require a
revision of the Form R/Form A submitted. The exception is
for the reporting of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds where
the amounts are reported in grams.
Part II. Chemical-Specific Information
Section 1. Toxic Chemical Identity
Reporting chemical abstract service (CAS) numbers
in Section 1.1. Beginning with the 1991 reporting
year, EPA has assigned alphanumeric category codes
to the twenty chemical categories for the purposes of
reporting the CAS number field in Section 1.1. When
completing a Form R for a chemical category, the
appropriate code for that category must be provided in
Section 1.1. The CAS numbers are listed in Table II:
"Section 313 Toxic Chemical List," and if needed, the
category codes are listed in Appendix B: "Reporting
Codes for EPA Form R." Category guidance
documents are listed in the Chemical and Industry
Guidance Documents section in this document.
Failure to check for synonyms. Some reportable
chemicals (especially glycol ethers and toluene
diisocyanates) have many synonyms that do not readily
imply they are in the category. For example,
"benzene,!,3-diisocyanatomethyl" may not be readily
recognized as "toluene diisocyanate (mixed isomers)."
Invalid chemical identification in Section 1.2. The
CAS number and the chemical name reported here
must exactly match the listed official EPCRA section
313 CAS number and EPCRA section 313 chemical
name.
Failure to consider an EPCRA section 313 chemical
qualifier. Only EPCRA section 313 chemicals in the
form specified in the qualifier require reporting under
section 313 and should be reported on Form R with the
appropriate qualifier in parentheses. For example,
isopropyl alcohol is listed on the EPCRA section 313
chemical list with the qualifier "manufacturing- strong
acid process, no supplier notification." Thus, the
ONLY facilities that should report this EPCRA section
313 chemical are those that manufacture isopropyl
alcohol by the strong acid process.
C-4 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Appendix C
Generic chemical name in Section 1.3. A generic
chemical name should only be provided if the section
313 chemical identity is claimed as a trade secret.
Section 2. Mixture Component Identity
Identifying chemicals used in mixtures. Facilities
should carefully review the most recent MSDS or
supplier notification for every mixture brought on-site
to identify all section 313 chemicals used during a
reporting year. Although some mixtures may not have
MSDSs, the best readily available information should
be used to determine the presence of EPCRA section
313 chemicals in ores and alloys.
Mixture names in Section 2.1. Mixture names are to
be entered here only if the supplier is claiming the
identity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical a trade
secret and that is the sole identification. Mixture names
that include the name or CAS number of one or more
EPCRA section 313 chemicals are not valid uses of the
mixture name field.
Section 3. Activities and Uses of the Toxic Chemical at the
Facility
Reporting EPCRA section 313 chemical activity.
EPCRA section 313 chemical activity is commonly
overlooked or misclassified. Any activity involving the
manufacture, process, or otherwise use of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical must be examined. For example,
waste treatment operations otherwise use EPCRA
section 313 chemicals to treat waste streams and may
coincidentally manufacture an additional EPCRA
section 313 chemical as a result of the treatment
reaction. Such activity must be considered. Further,
EPCRA section 313 chemical activity mustbe correctly
classified as either "manufactured," "processed," or
"otherwise used."
Section 3.1 "Manufacture"means to produce, prepare,
compound, or import an EPCRA section
313 chemical.
Section 3.2 "Process" means the preparation of an
EPCRA section 313 chemical after its
manufacture, which usually includes the
incorporation of the EPCRA section 313
chemical into the final product, for
distribution in commerce.
Section 3.3 "Otherwise use" encompasses any use of an
EPCRA section 313 chemical that does not
fall under the terms "manufacture" or
"process," and includes treatment for
destruction, stabilization (without
subsequent distribution in commerce),
disposal, and other use of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical, including an EPCRA
section 313 chemical contained in a mixture
or other trade name product. Otherwise use
of an EPCRA section 313 chemical does
not include disposal, stabilization (without
subsequent distribution in commerce), or
treatment for destruction unless:
1. The EPCRA section 313 chemical that was
disposed, stabilized, or treated for
destruction was received from off-site for
the purposes of further waste management;
or
2. The EPCRA section 313 chemical that was
disposed, stabilized, or treated for
destruction was manufactured as a result of
waste management activities on materials
received from off-site for the purposes of
further waste management activities.
For example, solvents in paint applied to a manufactured
product are often misclassified as processed, instead of
otherwise used. Because the solvents are not incorporated
into the final product, the solvent is being otherwise used, not
processed.
Section 4. Maximum Amount of the Toxic Chemical
On-site at Any Time During the Calendar Year
Maximum amount on-site left blank Failure to
provide the appropriate code for maximum amount on
site.
Section 5. Quantity of the Toxic Chemical Entering
Each Environmental Medium On-site
Incorrectly reporting stack emissions. Fugitive
emissions from general indoor air should not be
reported as stack missions when released from a single
building vent. Additionally, stack emissions from
storage tanks, including loading, working, and
breathing losses from tanks, should not be overlooked
or reported as fugitive emissions.
Overlooking releases to land. Section 313 chemicals
placed in stockpiles or in surface impoundments should
be reported as a "release to land" even if no section 313
chemicals leak from these sources. Quantities of
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions C-5
-------
Appendix C
section 313 chemicals land-treated should be reported
as a "release to land."
Section 6. Transfers of the Toxic Chemical in Wastes to
Off-site Locations
Reporting discharges to POTWs in Section 6.1.
When quantities of a listed mineral acid are neutralized
to a pH of 6 or greater, the quantity reported as
discharged to a POTW should be reported as zero. It is
incorrect to enter "NA" (Not Applicable), in such a
situation.
Reporting other off-site transfers in Section 6.2.
Any quantities reported in Sections 8.1, 8.3, 8.5, and
8.7 as sent off-site for disposal, treatment, energy
recovery, or recycling, respectively, must also be
reported in Section 6.2 along with the receiving
location and appropriate off-site activity code.
Section 7A. On-Site Waste Treatment Methods and
Efficiency
Failure to report waste treatment methods in
Section 7A. Waste treatment methods used to treat
waste streams containing EPCRA section 313
chemicals, and the efficiencies of these methods, must
be reported on Form R. Information must be entered
for all waste streams, even if the waste treatment
method does not affect the EPCRA section 313
chemical. If no waste treatment is performed on waste
streams containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical,
the box marked "Not Applicable" in Section 7 A should
be checked on Form R.
Section 7B. On-Site Energy Recovery Processes
Incorrect reporting of waste treatment methods in
Section 7A. The type of waste stream, influent
concentration, and waste treatment method for each
waste stream are required to be reported on Form R
using specific codes, along with the waste treatment
efficiency expressed as percent removal. The waste
treatment codes are listed in Appendix B: "Reporting
Codes for EPA Form R," of the Toxic Chemical
Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions.
Reporting on-site energy recovery methods in
Section 7B. When a quantity is reported in Section 8.2
as combusted for energy recovery on-site, the type of
energy recovery system used must be reported in
Section 7B, and vice versa.
Section 7C. On-Site Recycling Processes
Reporting on-site recycling methods in Section 7C.
When a quantity is reported in Section 8.4 as recycled
on-site, the type of recovery method must be reported
in Section 7C, and vice versa.
Section 8. Source Reduction and Recycling Activities
The entries in this section must be completed, even if
your facility does not engage in source reduction or
recycling activities.
Columns C and D, the future year projections for
questions 8.1 through 8.7, must be completed. EPA
expects a reasonable estimate for the future year
projections. Zero can be used in columns C and D to
indicate that the manufacture, process, or otherwise use
of the chemical will be discontinued. In such cases,
columns C and D for Section 8.1 through 8.7 must all
contain zeroes.
It is incorrect to use range codes to report quantities in
Section 8. Range codes can be used only in Sections 5
and 6 of Form R.
It is incorrect to use the same codes from Section 4 for
reporting the maximum amount of the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical on-site to report quantities in
Section 8.
Quantities reported in Section 8.1 through 8.7 are
mutually exclusive and additive. This means that
quantities of the reported EPCRA section 313 chemical
must not be double-counted in Section 8.1 through 8.7.
Some double-counting errors have been due to
confusion over the differences in how on-site treatment
of an EPCRA section 313 chemical is reported in
Section 7A as compared to Section 8. In Section 7A,
information on the treatment of waste streams
containing the EPCRA section 313 chemical is
reported, along with the percent efficiency in terms of
destruction or removal of the EPCRA section 313
chemical from each waste stream. In Section 8, only
the quantity of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
actually destroyed through the treatment processes
reported in Section 7A is reported in Section 8.6 to
avoid double-counting within Sections 8.1 through 8.7.
Quantities reported in Section 8.1 through 8.7 must not
be reported in Section 8.8 and vice versa.
C-6 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions

Appendix C
Any time a reported EPCRA section 313 chemical is
contained in a waste, and the waste is associated with
routine production-related activities and is recycled,
combusted for energy recovery, treated, disposed, or
otherwise released either on- or off-site, that quantity of
the EPCRA section 313 chemical must be included in
the quantities reported in Sections 8.1 through 8.7
Reporting quantities in Section 8.1 Quantities of

Reporting quantities in Section 8.2 "Quantity used
for energy recovery on-site." A quantity must be
reported in Section 8.2 for the current (reporting) year
when a method of on-site energy recovery is reported
in Section 7B, and vice versa. An error facilities make
when completing Form R is to report the methods of
energy recovery used on-site in Section 7B but not
report the total quantity associated with those methods.
Another error is to report a quantity in this section if
the combustion of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
took place in a system that did not recover energy (e.g.,
an incinerator). A quantity of the EPCRA section 313
chemical combusted for energy recovery must not be
reported if the EPCRA section 313 chemical does not
have a significant heating value. Examples of EPCRA
section 313 chemicals that do not have significant
heating values include metals, metal portions of metal
category compounds, and halons. Metals and metal
portions of metal compounds will never be treated or
combusted for energy recovery. Any quantities of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical associated with
non-production related activities such as catastrophic
releases and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production practices
that were combusted for energy recovery on-site must
not be included in Section 8.8.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.3 "Quantity used
for energy recovery off-site." As in Section 8.2, a
quantity must not be reported in this section if the
off-site combustion of the EPCRA section 313
1 ง8.8 includes quantities of toxic chemicals disposed or
otherwise released on site or managed as a waste off site due to remedial
actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not associated with the
production processes.

Appendix C
chemical took place in a system that did not recover
energy (e.g., incinerator). A quantity of an EPCRA
section 313 chemical must not be reported as sent off-
site for the purposes of energy recovery if the EPCRA
section 313 chemical does not have a significant
heating value. Examples of EPCRA section 313
chemicals that do not have significant heating values
include metals, metal portions of metal category
compounds, and halons. Metals and metal portions of
metal category compounds will never be combusted for
energy recovery. Quantities must be reported in Section
8.3 that are reported in Section 6.2 as transferred off-
site for the purposes of combustion for energy recovery
using the following codes:
M56 Energy Recovery
M92 Transfer to Waste Broker Energy
Recovery
ง 8.3 = ง 6.2 (energy recovery) - ง 8.8 (off-site energy
recovery due to catastrophic events)2
Reporting quantities in Section 8.4 "Quantity recycled
on-site." A quantity must be reported in Section 8.4 for
the current reporting year when a method of on-site
recycling is reported in Section 7C, and vice versa. An
error facilities make when completing Form R is to report
the methods of recycling used on-site in Section 7C but
not report the total quantity recovered using those
methods.
In addition, only the amount of the chemical that
was actually recovered is to be reported in Section
8.4. Any quantities of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
associated with non-production related activities such as
catastrophic releases and remedial actions, as well as
other one-time events not associated with routine
production practices that were recycled on-site must not
be included in Section 8.8.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.5. "Quantity
recycled off-site." Quantities reported in Section 6.2 as
transferred off-site for the purposes of recycling must be
included in Section 8.5 using the following codes:
M20 Solvents/Organic Recovery
M24 Metals Recovery
M26 Other Reuse or Recovery
M28 Acid Regeneration
M93 Transfer to Waste Broker Recycling.
2ง8.8 includes quantities of toxic chemical disposed or
otherwise released on-site or managed as waste off-site due to remedial
actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not associated with the
production processes.
ง8.5 = ง6.2 (recycling) - ง8.8 (off-site recycling due
to catastrophic events)2
Reporting quantities in Section 8.6 "Quantity
treated on-site." Quantities may not always have to
be reported in Section 8.6 when Section 7A is
completed. This is because the information reported in
Section 7A and Section 8 is different. Information on
how waste streams containing the reported EPCRA
section 313 chemical are treated is reported in Section
7A, while the quantity of the EPCRA section 313
chemical actually destroyed as a result of on-site
treatment is reported in Section 8.6. If a quantity is
reported in Section 8.6, Section 7 A must be completed
but the reverse may not be true. This may result in
apparent discrepancies between Section 7 A and Section
8. For example, a facility may treat wastewater
containing an EPCRA section 313 chemical by
removing the EPCRA section 313 chemical and then
disposing of it on-site. The treatment of the wastewater
would be reported in Section 7A, with an efficiency
estimate based on the amount of the EPCRA section
313 chemical removed from the wastewater. Although
the waste stream has been treated because the EPCRA
section 313 chemical has been removed, the EPCRA
section 313 chemical has not been treated because it
has not been destroyed. The facility would report only
the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical
actually destroyed during treatment in Section 8.6 and
the amount ultimately disposed in Section 8.1 to avoid
double-counting the same quantity in Section 8. In
cases where the EPCRA section 313 chemical is not
destroyed during a treatment process and subsequently
enters another activity, such as disposal (e.g., metals
removed from wastewater and subsequently disposed
on-site), the quantity of the EPCRA section 313
chemical would be reported as disposed in Section 8.1,
not as treated in Section 8.6. Any quantities of the
EPCRA section 313 chemical associated with
non-production related activities such as catastrophic
releases and remedial actions, as well as other one-time
events not associated with routine production practices
that were treated for destruction on-site must not be
included in Section 8.8. Metals generally will not be
treated for destruction.
Reporting quantities in Section 8.7 "Quantity
treated off-site." Quantities reported in Section 6.2 as
transferred off-site for the purposes of treatment must
be included in Section 8.7 using the following codes:
M50 Incineration/Thermal Treatment
M54 Incineration/Insignificant Fuel Value
M61 Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTW)

Quantities of an EPCRA section 313 chemical, except

know, however, that a chemical is not treated for
destruction at the POTW you should report that
quantity in Section 8.1 instead of 8.7.
To report correctly EPCRA section 313 chemicals in
Section 8.7, use the following equation.
ง8.7 =ง6.1 (excluding most metal/metal category
compounds) + ง6.2 (treatment) - ง8.8 (off-site
treatment due to catastrophic events)3
Reporting quantities in Section 8.8 "Quantity
released to the environment as a result of remedial
actions, catastrophic events or one-time events not
associated with production processes." The
quantities that are reported in Section 8.8 are associated
with non-production related activities such as
catastrophic releases and remedial actions, as well as
one-time events not associated with routine production
practices, that were disposed or released directly to the
environment or transferred off-site for the purposes of
recycling, energy recovery, treatment or disposal.
Quantities reported in Section 8.8 must not be reported
in Section 8.1 through 8.7.
Reporting the production ratio in Section 8.9. A
production ratio or activity index must be provided in
Section 8.9. A zero is not acceptable and "NA" (Not
Applicable) can be used only when the reported
EPCRA section 313 chemical was not manufactured,
processed, or otherwise used in the year prior to the
reporting year.
Calculating production ratio in Section 8.9. In
calculating a production ratio for "otherwise used"
chemicals, an activity index must be used rather than
quantities purchased or released from year to year.
Reporting source reduction activities in Section
8.10. It is an error to report a source reduction activity
in Section 8.10 and not report at least one method used
to identify that activity and vice versa.
3ง8.8 includes quantities of toxic chemical disposed or
otherwise released on-site or managed as waste off-site due to remedial
actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not associated with the
production processes.

Appendix D. Supplier Notification Requirements
EPA requires some suppliers of mixtures or other trade name
products containing one or more of the EPCRA section 313
chemicals to notify their customers. This requirement has
been in effect since January 1, 1989.
This appendix explains which suppliers must notify their
customers, who must be notified, what form the notice must
take, and when it must be sent.
Who Must Supply Notification
You are covered by the section 313 supplier notification
requirements if you own or operate a facility which meets all
of the following criteria:
(1) Your facility is in Standard Industrial Classification
[SIC] codes 20-39;
(2) You manufacture (including import) or process an
EPCRA section 313 chemical; and
(3) You sell or otherwise distribute a mixture or other trade
name product containing the EPCRA section 313
chemical to either:
A facility in a covered SIC code (see Table I).
A person that then may sell the same mixture or
other trade name product to a firm in a covered
SIC code (see Table I).
Note that you may be covered by the supplier notification
rules even if you are not covered by the section 313 release
reporting requirements. For example, even if you have
fewer than 10 full-time employees or do not manufacture or
process any of the EPCRA section 313 chemicals in sufficient
quantities to trigger the release and other waste management
reporting requirements, you may still be required to notify
certain customers.
Who Must Be Notified
Also, note that beginning with the 1998 reporting year, seven
new industries are now covered by most of the EPCRA
section 313 reporting requirements. These new industries are
not required to comply with most of the supplier notification
requirements. Industries whose primary SIC code is not
within 20 through 39 are not required to initiate the
distribution of notifications for EPCRA section 313 chemicals
in mixtures or other trade name products that they send to
their customers.
However, if these facilities receive notifications from their
suppliers about EPCRA section 313 chemicals in mixtures or
other trade name products, they should forward the
notifications with the EPCRA section 313 chemicals they send
to other covered users.
An example would be if you sold a lacquer containing toluene
to distributors who then may sell the product to other
manufacturers. The distributors are not in a covered SIC
code, but because they sell the product to companies in
covered SIC codes, they must be notified so that they may
pass the notice along to their customers, as required.
The language of the supplier notification requirements covers
mixtures or other trade name products that are sold or
otherwise distributed. The "otherwise distributes" language
includes intra-company transfers and, therefore, the supplier
notification requirements at 40 CFR Section 372.45 apply.
Note that beginning with the first shipments in 1998, facilities
in SIC codes 20-39 will be required to also notify facilities in
the newly added industry groups.
Supplier Notification Must Include the
Following Information:
(1) A statement that the mixture or other trade name product
contains an EPCRA section 313 chemical or chemicals
subject to the reporting requirements of EPCRA section
313 (40 CFR 372);
(2) The name of each EPCRA section 313 chemical and the
associated Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry
number of each chemical if applicable. (CAS numbers
are not used for chemical categories, since they can
represent several individual EPCRA section 313
chemicals.); and
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions D-l
-------
Appendix D
(3) The percentage, by weight, of each EPCRA section 313
chemical (or all EPCRA section 313 chemicals within a
listed category) contained in the mixture or other trade
name product.
For example, if a mixture contains a chemical (i.e., 12 percent
zinc oxide) that is a member of a reportable EPCRA section
313 chemical category (i.e., zinc compounds), the notification
must indicate that the mixture contains a zinc compound at 12
percent by weight. Supplying only the weight percent of the
parent metal (zinc) does not fulfill the requirement. The
customer must be told the weight percent of the entire
compound within an EPCRA section 313 chemical category
present in the mixture.
How the Notification Must Be Made
The required notification must be provided at least annually in
writing. Acceptable forms of notice include letters, product
labeling, and product literature distributed to customers. If
you are required to prepare and distribute a Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) for the mixture under the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Hazard Communication
Standard, your section 313 notification must be attached to the
MSD S or the MSD S must be modified to include the required
information. (A sample letter and recommended text for
inclusion in an MSDS appear at the end of this appendix.)
You must make it clear to your customers that any copies or
redistribution of the MSDS or other form of notification must
include the section 313 notice. In other words, your
customers should understand their requirement to include the
section 313 notification if they give your MSDS to their
customers.
When Notification Must Be Provided
You must notify each customer receiving a mixture or other
trade name product containing an EPCRA section 313
chemical with the first shipment of each calendar year. You
may send the notice with subsequent shipments as well, but it
is required that you send it with the first shipment each year.
Once customers have been provided with an MSDS
containing the section 313 information, you may refer to the
MSDS by a written letter in subsequent years (as long as the
MSDS is current).
If EPA adds EPCRA section 313 chemicals to the section 313
list, and your products contain the newly added EPCRA
section 313 chemicals, notify your customers with the first
shipment made during the next calendaryearfollowing EPAซs
final decision to add the chemical to the list. For example, if
EPA adds chemical ABC to the list in September 1998,
supplier notification for chemical ABC would have begun
with the first shipment in 1999.
You must send a new or revised notice to your customers if
you:
(1) Change a mixture or other trade name product by
adding, removing, or changing the percentage by
weight of an EPCRA section 313 chemical; or
(2) Discover that your previous notification did not
properly identify the EPCRA section 313 chemicals in
the mixture or correctly indicate the percentage by
weight.
In these cases, you must:
(1) Supply a new or revised notification within 3 0 days of
a change in the product or the discovery of
misidentified EPCRA section 313 chemical(s) in the
mixture or incorrect percentages by weight; and
(2) Identify in the notification the prior shipments of the
mixture or product in that calendar year to which the
new notification applies (e.g., if the revised
notification is made on August 12, indicate which
shipments were affected during the period January
1-August 12).
When Notifications Are Not Required
Supplier notification is not required for a "pure" EPCRA
section 313 chemical unless a trade name is used. The identity
of the EPCRA section 313 chemical will be known based on
label information.
You are not required to make a "negative declaration." That
is, you are not required to indicate that a product contains no
EPCRA section 313 chemicals.
If your mixture or other trade name product contains one of
the EPCRA section 313 chemicals, you are not required to
notify your customers if:
(1) Your mixture or other trade name product contains the
EPCRA section 313 chemical in percentages by weight
of less than the following levels (These are known as
de minimis levels)
D-2 Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions
-------
Appendix D
0.1 percent if the EPCRA section 313 chemical is
defined as an "OSHA carcinogen;"
1 percent for other EPCRA section 313 chemicals.
De minimis levels for each EPCRA section 313 chemical
and chemical category are listed in Table II. PBT
chemicals (except lead when contained in stainless steel,
brass or bronze alloys) are not eligible for the de minimis
exemption. Therefore, de minimis levels are not provided
for these chemicals in Table II. However, for purposes of
supplier notification requirements only, such notification
is not required when the following PBT chemicals are
contained in mixtures below their respective de minimis
levels:

following:
An article that does not release an EPCRA section 313
chemical under normal conditions of processing or
otherwise use.
Foods, drugs, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, tobacco,
or tobacco products packaged for distribution to the
general public.
Any consumer product, as the term is defined in the
Consumer Product Safety Act, packaged for
distribution to the general public. For example, if you
mix or package one-gallon cans of paint designed for
use by the general public, notification is not required.
(3) A waste sent off site for further waste management.
The supplier notification requirements apply only to
mixtures and trade name products. They do not apply
to wastes.
(4) You are initiating distribution of a mixture or other
trade name product containing one or more EPCRA
section 313 chemicals and your facility is in any of the
covered SIC codes added during the 1997 industry
expansion rulemaking, including facilities whose SIC

6921 et seq.) or 5169, or 5171, or 7389 (limited to
facilities primarily engaged in solvents recovery
services on a contract or fee basis).
Trade Secrets
Chemical suppliers may consider the chemical name or the
specific concentration of an EPCRA section 313 chemical in
a mixture or other trade name product to be a trade secret. If
you consider the:
(1) Specific identity of anEPCRA section 313 chemicaltobe
a trade secret, the notice must contain a generic chemical
name that is descriptive of the structure of that EPCRA
section 313 chemical. For example, decabromodiphenyl
oxide could be described as a halogenated aromatic.
(2) Specific percentage by weight of an EPCRA section 313
chemical in the mixture or other trade name product to be
a trade secret, your notice must contain a statement that
the EPCRA section 313 chemical is present at a
concentration that does not exceed a specified upper
bound. For example, if a mixture contains 12 percent
toluene and you consider the percentage a trade secret,
the notification may state that the mixture contains
toluene at no more than 15 percent by weight. The upper
bound value chosen must be no larger than necessary to
adequately protect the trade secret.
If you claim this information to be trade secret, you must have
documentation that provides the basis for your claim.
Recordkeeping Requirements
You are required to keep records for three years of the
following:
(1) Notifications sent to recipients of your mixture or other
trade name product;
(2) All supporting materials used to develop the notice;
(3) If claiming a specific EPCRA section 313 chemical
identity a trade secret, you should record why the
EPCRA section 313 chemical identity is considered a
trade secret and the appropriateness of the generic
chemical name provided in the notification; and
(4) If claiming a specific concentration a trade secret, you
should record explanations of why a specific
concentration is considered a trade secret and the basis
for the upper bound concentration limit.
Information retained under 40 CFR 372 must be readily
available for inspection by EPA.

Appendix E. How To Determine Latitude and Longitude
Facilities can now use the TRI Facility Siting Tool to find
their latitude and longitude coordinates. The siting tool
and its instructions
can be found on the Internet at
.
Latitude and longitude coordinates of reporting facilities
are very important for pinpointing facility location and are
a required data element on Form R. As such, EPA is
encouraging facilities to make the best possible
measurements when determining latitude and longitude.
As with any other data element, missing, suspect, or
incorrect data may result in EPA issuing a Notice of
Technical Error to the facility.
Latitude is the distance north or south of the equator.
Longitude is the distance east or west of the prime
meridian (Greenwich, England). Latitude and longitude
are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
60" (seconds) = 1' (minute)
60' (minutes) =1ฐ (degree)
An important tool available for determining latitude and
longitude for your facility is the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) topographic quadrangle map. These maps are
published in varying degrees of detail. The most detailed
version of the topographic quadrangle map is in 7.5 x 7.5
minute increments with a scale of 1:24000 (i.e., one inch
on the map represents 2,000 feet). Detailed topographic
quadrangle maps are also available in 7.5 x 15 minute
increments with a scale of 1:250,000 (i.e., one inch on the
map represents approximately four miles). EPA strongly
suggests that latitude and longitude measurements be
made from one of the detailed maps described above.
Otherwise, measurements will not accurately reflect the
location of your facility and could be identified as an error
on your Form R submission.
In order to identify the detailed topographic quadrangle
map in which your facility is located, the USGS has
published an index and a catalog of topographic maps
available for each state. Both the index and the catalog
are available in many libraries or free of charge from
USGS Information Services (address on folio wing page).
The Index to Topographic and Other Map Coverage helps
you to identify the most detailed map in which your
facility is located. To identify the most detailed map,
follow these simple steps on how to use the index:
(1) The beginning of each index contains a map of the
state, broken into numbered quadrangular sections.
The numbered quadrangular sections are called
general areas of interest. Identify the numbered
section in which your facility is located.
(2) The subsequent pages of the index contain detailed
maps of each general area of interest, in numerical
order. Identify the detailed map corresponding to
the numbered general area of interest identified in
Step 1.
(3) Within this detailed map, identify the smaller
quadrangular area in which your facility is located.
This smaller quadrangular section is the specific area
of interest. Record first the letter then the number
coordinate for your specific area of interest (e.g.,
E4).
(4) Using the chart found on the same page as the
detailed map of the general area of interest, record
the name of the specific area of interest in which
your facility is located, identified by the letter and
number coordinates (e.g., Richmond).
The name of the specific area of interest and its
corresponding letter and number coordinates identify the
most detailed topographic quadrangle map in which your
facility is located. To identify the map reference code and
file number necessary to order this map, follow these
simple steps for using the Catalog of Topographic and
Other Published Maps for the state in which your facility
is located:
(5) The beginning of the catalog explains the meaning
of the reference code. On the pages following this
explanation, there are charts listed alphabetically by
the name of the specific area of interest with
corresponding file numbers and map reference
codes. Using the name of the specific area of
interest recorded in Step 4, identify the file number
and map reference code from the chart for the map
in which your facility is located (e.g., file number
00692, map reference code 37977-E4-TF-024-00).
(6) Use the file number and map reference code to
obtain the specific topographic quadrangle map in
which your facility is located.
These detailed topographic quadrangle maps are available
in many libraries or for purchase from USGS Information
Services and from private map dealers. The Catalog of
Topographic and Other Published Maps contains a list of
map depository libraries and topographic map dealers for
each state covered in the catalog.
To purchase a topographic quadrangle map from the
USGS, you must send a written request to USGS
Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Forms and Instructions E-l

Determining Your Facility's
Latitude and Longitude
(See diagram next page.)
Once you have obtained the correct map for your facility
EPA recommends that you follow the five steps below to
determine the latitude and longitude of your facility:
(1) Mark the location of your facility on the map with a
point. If your facility is large, choose a point central
to the production activities of the facility. If certain
structures in your facility are represented on the
map, mark one of the structures with a point.
(2) Construct a small rectangle around the point with
fine pencil lines connecting the nearest 2.5' or 5'
graticules. Graticules are intersections of latitude
and longitude lines that are marked on the map edge,
and appear as black crosses at four points in the
interior of the map.
(3) Read and record the latitude and longitude (in
degrees, minutes, and seconds) for the southeast
corner of the small quadrangle drawn in step two.
The latitude and longitude are printed at the edges of
the map.
(4) To determine the increment of latitude above the
latitude line recorded in step 3,
position the map so that you face west;
place the ruler in approximately a north-south
alignment, with the "0" on the latitude line
recorded in step 3 with the ruler edge
intersecting the point.
Without moving the ruler, read and record:
the measurement from the latitude line to the
desired point (the point distance);
the measurement from the latitude line to the
north line of the small quadrangle (the total
distance).
Determine the number of seconds to be added to the
latitude recorded in step 3 by using the ratio:
Point distance x 150" = increment of latitude
Total distance
between lines
[Note: 150" is the number of seconds of arc for the side
of the small quadrangle on a 7.5' map. If you are using a
15' map, the multiplication factor is 300" instead of 150"
since each graticule is 5' of latitude or longitude.]
For example:
Point distance
Total distance
99.5
192.0
99.5 x 150"
192.0
77.7"

Appendix E
(5) To determine the increment of longitude west of the
longitude line recorded in step 3,
position the map so that you face south;
place the ruler in approximately an east-west
alignment with the "0" on the longitude line
recorded in step 3 with the ruler edge
intersecting the point.
Without moving the ruler, read and record:
the measurement from the longitude line to the
desired point (the point distance);
the measurement from the longitude
line to the west line of the small quadrangle
(the total distance).
Determine the number of seconds to be added to the
longitude recorded in step 3 by using the ratio:
Point distance x 150" = increment of longitude
total distance
between lines
For example:
65.0 xl50" = 65" = 01'05"

reports, and identify who to contact for more information in
EPA regions and state programs across the country. From
the TRI home page, you can "link" to other EPA and
non-EPA sites that allow you to search the TRI database
online.
TRI Explorer is an on-line
tool that EPA has created to allow for searches of the TRI
data. It allows the user to search using five criteria: facility,
chemical, year or industry type (SIC code), and geographic
area (at the county, state or national level). The tool will
generate three types of reports: (1) Release Reports
(including on- and off-site releases (i.e., off-site releases
include transfers off-site to disposal and metals and metal
compounds transferred to POTWs)); (2) Waste Transfer
Reports (including amounts transferred off-site for further
waste management but not including transfers off-site to
disposal); and (3) Waste Quantity Reports (including
amounts recycled, burned for energy recovery, quantities
treated, and quantities released).
TOXNETฎ , the National Library of
Medicine's (NLM) Toxicology Data Network, provides free
access to TRI data. Users can search by chemical or other
name, chemical name fragment, or Chemical Abstracts
Service Registry Number. Also searchable are facility or
parent company name, state, city, county, or zip code.
Search results can be limited to releases greater than a
specified number of pounds, and individual releases can be
summed together to display a total amount.
RTK-Net is an online network concerned
with environmental issues, in particular, matters arising
from the passage of right-to-know provisions embodied in
EPCRA legislation. RTK-net was established by two non-
profit organizations (Unison Institute and OMB Watch) to
provide access to TRI, link TRI with other environmental
data, and exchange information among public interest
groups. RTK-Net is a full-service center providing free
dial-in access privileges to complete database services,
training and technical support, e-mail and electronic
conferences pertaining to issues such as health, activism,
and environmental justice. For more information contact:

Other TRI Information
EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)
is an electronic database containing
information on human health effects that may result from
exposure to various chemicals in the environment. IRIS
was initially developed for EPA staff in response to a
growing demand for consistent information of chemical
substances for use in risk assessments, decision-making and
regulatory activities. The information in IRIS is intended
for those without extensive training in toxicology, but with
some knowledge of health sciences.

The Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse
(PPIC)
PPIC was established as part of EPA's response to the
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, which directed the
Agency to compile information, including a database, on
management, technical, and operational approaches to
source reduction. PPIC provides information to the public
and industries involved in conservation of natural resources
and in reduction or elimination of pollutants in facilities,
workplaces, and communities.
To request EPA information on pollution prevention or
obtain factsheets on pollution prevention from various state
programs call the PPIC reference and referral service at
202 566-0799, or fax a request to 202 566-0794, or write to:
