TRI Basic Data File Format - Introduction
The TRI Basic Data Files are provided in an easy-to-use format that contains the data elements most frequently
requested by TRI data users. The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program has found that data users are most
interested in the quantity data reported by TRI facilities, including the quantities of toxic chemicals released on-site,
the quantities transferred off-site and summary data concerning releases, recycling, energy recovery and treatment as
they appear in the Pollution Prevention portion of the TRI Reporting Form R (one of the two reporting forms EPA
uses to collect TRI data from facilities).
The TRI Basic Data Files were created in response to feedback from users requesting the state and national datasets.
In the past, users would frequently contact the TRI Program to request all of the TRI data. Typically, however, users
were primarily interested in the quantity information found in TRI, such as on-site releases or off-site transfers. Users
also wanted these data elements for all TRI reporting years, and indicated that all of this information wasn't easily
available in the online TRI query tools.
The TRI Program developed the TRI Basic Data Files to provide easier access to TRI data. This document defines
and describes the data file format of these files. It lists the record layout and specifically defines each field in that
layout. Finally, it gives users instructions on how to load these data files into two common desktop products,
Microsoft (MS) Excel and Access.
Please note that this file format does not contain data from non-quantitative areas of the Form R or Form A, such as
"Chemical Activities and Uses", "Treatment Methods and Efficiency", "Recycling Processes" and "Energy Recover
Processes." To see the data from these and other non-quantitative sections of the Form R and A, refer to the "TRI
Basic Plus Data Files."
File Format Information
The general categories that users are interested in and that are represented in this file are as follows:
•	Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates, and SIC or NAICS codes
•	Chemical identification and classification information
•	On-site Release quantities
•	Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) transfer quantities
•	Off-site Transfer quantities for release/disposal and further waste management
•	Summary Pollution Prevention quantities (Section 8 of the Form R)
The file contains approximately 100 data fields. The data is simple ASCII text that is comma-delimited. This format
loads easily into many desktop products such as spreadsheets and database software.
The record layout for the file appears in the next section. There are seven columns in the layout format. The first
column (identified by the column heading '#') is a sequential field number identifier. The second column, "Field" is
the name of the data field as it will appear in the data file. Many of the field names begin with a section reference,
such as "5.1 - Fugitive Air". The "5 .1" represents the section of the Form R where the data came from. Many users
find the data fields easier to use when they are prefaced with the section number.
3

-------
The third and fourth columns, "Maximum Length" and "Data Type", specify the maximum length and the data type
of the field. The "Maximum Length" column also indicates the format of numeric data. Comma notation is used for
numbers that may contain decimals. For example, a "Maximum Length" value of "22,7" indicates that the number
can be 22 digits long with 7 digits to the right of the decimal point. There are two possible values for the "Data
Type". They are 'C' for Character/Text data and 'N' for numeric data.
The fifth and sixth columns under the "Form R Reference" heading indicate the "Part" and "Section" of the Form R
or A where the data originates from. Refer to the "Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Forms and Instructions" at
http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/index.htm for more information on the Form R and Form A for additional information
on each data field in this file.
The "Definition" column gives a description of each data element and provides notes about its origin and use. There
are several data fields that represent totals in the data file. The "Definition" column tells which data fields are added
together to obtain the totals.

-------
File Content Types
There are three different types of TRI Basic Data Files.
The first type, known as the "State Data File", will only contain data for one state, district or US territory for each
reporting year. For instance, one "State File" might be all the data for the state of Alabama for reporting year 2010.
The second type, known as the "National Data File", will contain all the TRI data for the United States. This includes
data for all 50 states and the six US districts and territories (i.e. American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam,
Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands).
The third type, known as the "Federal Facility Data File", will contain data for all government owned and operated
federal sites.
Each file type will have a slightly different naming convention. However, all file names will follow this standard
pattern:
File Name = "TRI" + Reporting Year + File Content
Where the text string "TRI" identifies the file as TRI data. The "Reporting Year" indicates which reporting the file
represents. The "File Content" will indicate which of the three file types (Federal Facility, National or 56 States) the
file is. It will be either...
Here are some examples and explanations of each file type:
State File:
TRI2010_AL. csv
The file name above, "TRI_2010_AL.csv" is a "State File" type. It contains the facility and chemical identification as
well as quantity data for all chemicals reported by facilities in Alabama (AL) for reporting year 2010.
File Naming Conventions and Version Numbers
•	A State Abbreviation
•	The word "US"
•	The word "FED"
... for a State Data File
... for a National Data File
... for a Federal Facility Data File
National File:
TRI 2000 US.csv
5

-------
The file name above, "TRI_2000_US.csv" is a "National File" type. It contains the facility and chemical
identification as well as quantity data for all chemicals reported by all facilities in reporting year 2010
Federal Facility File:
TRI_2005_FED.csv
The file name above, "TRI_2005_FED.csv" is a "Federal Facility File" type. It contains the facility and chemical
identification as well as quantity data for all chemicals reported by All Federal Facilities in reporting year 2005.
File Usage - Limiting Factors
Appendices B and C describe the steps for loading the TRIBasic Data Files into Microsoft Excel and Access
respectively. Note that for versions of Microsoft Excel prior to and including Version 2003 (found in Microsoft
Office 2003) there is a limitation of 65,535 rows that can be loaded into a worksheet. Because of this limitation,
users will not be able to load the "National Files" containing 85,000 or more records into these versions of Excel.
However, the limit on the 2010 version of Excel is 1,048,576. So, users of that version of Excel will be able to load
the National Files as well as the other two file types without a problem.
Microsoft Access, a desktop database tool, does not have a limit on the number of records that can be loaded into a
table. Check the limitations of any other tool to be sure that the TRI Basic Data Files can be loaded in full.
Zeroes in the Data
The TRI Basic Data Files were created to be loaded into different tools such as spreadsheets, databases and statistical
applications. Some of those tools require that numeric data be populated with a number (and not a blank) in order for
the tool to work correctly. For instance, to total a column in many spreadsheet applications, all rows in that column
must contain a number and not be blank.
In light of this, zeroes have been input into the TRI Basic Data Files in places where numeric data was blank. There
are three instances where this normally occurs. First, facilities can file either a Form R or a Form A when reporting to
TRI. The Form A is a short form that is used when chemical releases and other waste management quantities are
below certain thresholds. It only requires that facility enter its identifying information and the identity of the
chemical it is releasing or otherwise managing as waste. It does not require the facility to enter any actual quantity
data. For chemicals submitted on the Form A, all the quantity data is represented as zeroes. See the TRI Reporting
Forms and Instructions at http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/index.htm for more information on the Form A and reporting
thresholds.
6

-------
The second case where zeroes have been substituted for blanks occurs when facilities report "NA" or "Not
Applicable" for a quantity on the Form R. Reporting "NA" means that the release or waste management quantity is
not possible for that facility. For example, if a facility is not located near a water body, it will not have the ability to
release any of the chemical to water. Therefore, in section 5.3 of the form R where facilities are asked to enter their
on-site water releases, the facility would enter "NA" because the release is not possible. The TRI Reporting Forms
and Instructions contain more information on the use of NA in TRI reporting.
The third case where zeroes have been substituted for blanks occurs when facilities do not respond to quantity
questions on the form R and leave them blank. This occurs most often with the submission of paper forms. Data
submitted via the electronic TRI reporting applications (i.e., TRI-ME desktop and TRI-MEweb) do not allow for
blanks in quantity data reporting. They require the submitter to enter a number or indicate "NA".

Other Online Methods for Accessing TRI Data
In addition to downloadable data files, users can also access and query TRI data via multiple online tools and
applications, including TRI Explorer, Envirofacts, and TRI.NET. These can be found at

three subcategories representing Surface Impoundment
(M63), Releases to Other Landfills (M64) and Releases
to RCRA Subtitle landfills (M65). Subsequently, "M63"
was subdivided into Subtitle C Surface Impoundment
(M66) and Other Surface Impoundment (M67) in 2003.
This field will contain mostly zeroes for years 2002 and
