1.0 Overview
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Basic Plus Data Files are a set of seven files that
collectively contain all the data that were submitted on the TRI Reporting Form R or
Certification Statement (Form A) by facilities in a selected state. The data in these files have
been extracted from the Envirofacts database system. The seven files and their contents are as
follows:

Details of Transfers to Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (POTW)
Part I (sections 1,4,5)
Part II (section 6.1)
The Basic Plus Data Files are identifiec
(named) by state, file_type, reporting year anc
version
number.
File Name = State + File_Type + Reporting Year + Version number
For example, the file "CA_l_2015_vl5.txt" contains the Facility, Chemical identification,
Chemical uses, On-site Releases and Management, Off-site Transfers and Summary Information
(File Type 1) for all facilities located in California (CA) for reporting year 2015. The version
number is "vl5". The "v!5" signifies that the file was created with Reporting Year 2015 data.

File Type 1

-------
Similarly, the file "CA_2a_2015_vl5.txt" contains Reporting Year 2015 Detailed Source
Reduction Activities and Methods data for the state of California. It was created with Reporting
Year 2015 data.
In addition to the set of files for each state, there are also 2 more file sets. There is a Federal file
set (FED_l_2015_vl5.txt, FED_2A_2015_vl5.txt, etc.) which contains data for all government
owned and operated federal sites. A third set of files, known as the National Data File set,
contains all the TRI data (for all States and US Territories) for a specific year. The national data
files are named US_l_2015_vl5.txt, US_2A_2015_vl5.txt, etc.
Many of the data elements described in the Basic Plus Data Files documentation refer to the TRI
Form R and Form A Certification Statement. These are the forms that facilities use to submit
data to the TRI Program. The TRI Reporting Forms and Instructions document contains the
actual forms and the complete instructions for filling them out. The Reporting Forms and
Instructions is available at http://www2.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventorv-tri-program/tri-
reporting-forms-and-instructions. Complete lists of values for many of the data fields in the
Basic Plus Data Files can be found in this document.

1.1 Detailed Description: File Type 3B
File Type 3B contains information about chemical transfers to Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTWs). Like all the Basic Plus Data Files, this file contains general facility and chemical
identification data. In addition, it contains the total quantity of the chemical that was transferred
to all POTWs. And, it lists the names and locations of the first two POTWS that the facility sent
the chemical to.
The POTW data used for this file is from section 6.1 of the Form R. In section 6.1, the facility
is asked to provide the total amount of the chemical transferred to all POTWs and the names and
locations of those POTWs. The Form R does not ask the facilities to provide the specific
amounts of the chemical that were transferred to each POTW. So, if there's more than one
POTW listed, there is no way to differentiate specifically how much of the chemical was
transferred to each POTW site.
