Introduction
On May 10, 2007, the Toxics Release Inventory Program issued a final rule expanding reporting requirements
for the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds category. There are seventeen distinct members of this chemical
category listed under TRI. The final rule requires that, in addition to the total grams released for the entire
category, facilities must report the quantity for each individual member on a new Form R Schedule 1. EPA will
then use the individual mass quantity data to calculate TEQ values that will be made available to the public
along with the mass data. The final rule also removes the requirement to report the single distribution of
compounds in the category.
EPA currently requires that facilities report, in grams, the total amount of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds
released from the facility. When available, the facility must also provide a single "distribution," showing how
that total is divided among the individual dioxin and dioxin-like compounds. This single distribution must
represent either total releases, or releases to the media (air, land, water) for which the facility has the best
information.
Although useful, total releases are not the best measure of the actual toxicity of these compounds because each
compound has its own level of toxicity. To account for how compounds vary in toxicity, we use weighted
values called toxic equivalents (TEQs). To calculate TEQs, we assign a value describing how toxic each dioxin
and dioxin-like compound is compared to the most toxic members of the category: 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-
p-dioxin and 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
Expressing data for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds as TEQs allows the public to understand the toxicity of
releases and waste management at facilities that report under the TRI program. For example, a facility releasing
3 grams of some combination of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds may or may not be of greater interest than a
facility releasing 1 gram of a different combination. However, a facility releasing 3 grams TEQ of dioxins is of
greater environmental importance than one releasing 1 gram TEQ to the same environmental medium (e.g., air,
land, water).
TEQs will allow the public to make more informed environmental decisions within their communities.
Expressing dioxin releases and waste management information in grams TEQ will also permit easier
comparisons between TRI data and other EPA and international data.

Data Files
Six data files are being made available to represent the Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compound TEQ and
individually reported mass quantity data. The individual mass quantity data or congener data is taken directly
from the new Schedule One form that was introduced in reporting year 2008. The TEQ data is calculated from
the individual mass quantity data and associated Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs). This data is complex.
Breaking it down into six data files is an attempt to divide it into logic components that can be used to better
understand it and to make the process of calculating the TEQ values transparent and re-creatable. In addition, in
an effort to bring context, greater understanding and the ability to relate the data to other data elements, some of
the files contain data from parts of the standard Form R.
Providing data in one large national file as well as individual state files has been a common practice for TRI
when disseminating its data. However, for the new Schedule One Dioxin and Dioxin-like compound data and
the resulting TEQ data, TRI will not be providing individual state files. TRI will only disseminate one set of
files, each representing the entire country (i.e. national files). The reason for this is that the national files
containing the data are small and will easily fit within a standard spreadsheet application. Users can easily load
and delete any unwanted data at their discretion.
The files being provided include the following:

File Descriptions
1. The Toxic Equivalency Factors File
File Name: TEF_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: This file lists the 17 individual chemicals or congeners that comprise a dioxin or dioxin-like
compound along with the toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) that are included in the calculation
the TEQ values. This file, like all the other files in this set, is an ASCII text file with TAB
delimiters. See the record layout in the "Record Layout" section below. This file contains the
TEFs values as of reporting year 2009.
2. The Schedule One Congener Data File
File Name: Congener_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: This file lists the individual mass quantity or congener data as reported on the Schedule One.
Each row is identified uniquely by a TRI Facility Id, a Document Control Number and a
Congener Number. The format of the file is similar to Filel of the Basic Plus Format and the
Basic File format (two formats TRI that uses to disseminates standard Form R data in). All
quantities are reported in grams. The file includes data elements in the following categories:
•	Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates and NAICS codes
•	Chemical identification and classification information
•	On-site Release quantities as reported on the Schedule One (Section 5)
•	The Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) transfer quantity from the Schedule One
(Section 6.1)
•	Summed Off-site Transfer quantity totals for release/disposal and further waste management
calculated from the Schedule One (Section 6.2) data
•	Summary Pollution Prevention quantities as reported on the Schedule One (Section 8)
This file only lists an on-site water release total (section 5.3) for each congener. The individual mass quantity
amounts for specific water bodies that make up the water release total are listed in the Water Congener Data
file. The off-site transfer data is summed by type of waste management (i.e. M66 - RCRA Subtitle C Surface
Impoundment). The individual/detailed transfer amounts along with the off-site transfer locations are listed in
the Transfer Details Data file.

3. The TEQ Data File
File Name: TEQ_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: This file has the same format as the Schedule One Congener Data file described above.
It lists the TEQ data that has been calculated from congener data (as reported on the Schedule
One) and the TEF values. Each row is identified uniquely by a TRI Facility Id, a Document
Control Number. There is only one TEQ value per medium (i.e. one On-site Fugitive Air
Release value) as opposed to the 17 congener values per medium in the Congener Data File. The
format of the file is similar to Filel of the Basic Plus Format and the Basic File format (two
formats TRI that uses to disseminates standard Form R data in). All quantities are reported in
grams. The file includes data elements in the following categories:
Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates and NAICS codes
Chemical identification and classification information
On-site Release quantities as reported on the Schedule One (Section 5)
The Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) transfer quantity from the Schedule One
(Section 6.1)
Summed Off-site Transfer quantity totals for release/disposal and further waste management
calculated from the Schedule One (Section 6.2) data
Summary Pollution Prevention quantities as reported on the Schedule One (Section 8)
This file only lists the TEQ value for total water releases (section 5.3). The individual TEQ amounts for
specific water bodies that make up the water release total are listed in the Water TEQ Data file. The off-site
transfer data is summed by type of waste management (i.e. M66 - RCRA Subtitle C Surface Impoundment).
The individual/detailed transfer TEQ amounts along with the off-site transfer location are listed in the Transfer
Details file.

4. The Water Congener Data File
File Name: Water_Congener_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: The Water Congener Data file lists the individually reported mass grams for each congener of
on-site water releases to each water body reported on the Form R. Each row is identified
uniquely by a TRI Facility Id, a Document Control Number and Congener Number. Up to ten
bodies of water are displayed (note: no TRI facility has ever reported releases to more than 9
water bodies). However, in reporting year 2009, the maximum number of water bodies reported
by any facility on a Dioxin or Dioxin-like compound submission was four.
In addition to the individually reported mass grams for each congener to a water body, the file
also lists the total amount of each congener reported to all water bodies. The file also repeats
(from the Schedule One Congener data file) the total transfers of each congener to Publicly
Owed Treatment Works (POTWs) and lists the names and addresses of up to two POTWs the
waste was transferred to.
All quantities are reported in grams. The file includes data elements in the following categories:

Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates and NAICS codes
• Chemical identification and classification information
On-site Water Releases to individual water bodies as reported on the Schedule One (Section 5.3)
Total On-site Water Releases for each congener as totaled from Schedule One (Section 5.3)
The Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) transfer quantity from the Schedule One
(Section 6.1.A)
The Names and Addresses of up to two POTWs that the congener amount was transferred to as
reported on the Form R (Section 6.1 .B)

-------
5. The Water TEQ Data File
File Name: Water_TEQ_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: The Water TEQ Data file lists the calculated TEQ values for each on-site water release to each
water body reported on the Form R. Each row is identified uniquely by a TRI Facility Id and a
Document Control Number. Up to ten bodies of water are displayed (note: no TRI facility has
ever reported releases to more than 9 water bodies). However, in reporting year 2009, the
maximum number of water bodies reported by any facility on a Dioxin or Dioxin-like compound
submission was four.
In addition to the individually reported TEQ values to each water body, the file also lists the total
TEQ amount that was released to all water bodies. The file also repeats (from the TEQ Data file)
the total TEQ transfers amount to Publicly Owed Treatment Works (POTWs) and lists the names
and addresses of up to two POTWs the waste was transferred to.
All quantities are reported in grams. The file includes data elements in the following categories:
•	Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates and NAICS codes
•	Chemical identification and classification information
•	Off-site Water Release TEQ values to individual water bodies calculated from the Schedule One
(Section 5.3)
•	The Total On-site Water Release TEQ to all water bodies as totaled from Schedule One (Section
5.3)

-------
6. The Transfer Details Data File
File Name: Transfers_2009_v09.txt
Format: ASCII Text, Comma delimited
Description: The Transfer Detail Data File lists the Congener Amounts, TEQ value and location details of all
Off-site Dioxin Transfers for the reporting year. It displays each individual transfer of Dioxin
and Dioxin-like compounds from the reporting facility to an off-site location for disposal or
further waste management. It lists the type of waste transfer code and description of the transfer
(i.e. M66 - RCRA Subtitle C Surface Impoundment). It also lists the individually reported
congener amounts for each transfer, the calculated TEQ value and the total transfer amount as
reported on the Form R. Finally, it lists the name, address and RCRA number of the off-site
location that the waste was transferred to.
Note that there can be multiple transfers to the same off-site location. And, there can also be
multiple transfers to the same location for the same purpose. In other words, it's possible to have
the same type of transfer (i.e. the same M-code) going to one off-site location listed several times
(presumably with different quantities being transferred each time).
All quantities are reported in grams. The file includes data elements in the following categories:
•	Facility Name, Address, Latitude & Longitude Coordinates and NAICS codes
•	Chemical identification and classification information
•	Individually reported mass grams of each Off-site Transfer as reported on the Schedule One
(Section 6.2)
•	TEQ values for each Off-site Transfer calculated from the Schedule One (Section 6.2)
•	Total Grams reported for each transfer as reported on the Form R (Section 6.2)
•	The Name, Address and RCRA number of destination of each off-site transfer from the Form R
(Section 6.2)

Zeroes in the Data
The TRIDioxin andDioxin-like Compounds Toxic Equivalency (TEQ) Data Files were created to be loaded
into different tools such as spreadsheets, databases and statistical applications. Some of those tools require
numeric data be populated with a number (and not a blank) in order for the functionality of 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 Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Toxic Equivalency
(TEQ) Data Files in places where numeric data was blank. There are two instances where this normally occurs.
The first instance 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 (or section 5.3 of the Schedule One) where facilities are asked
to enter their on-site water releases, the facility would enter "NA" because the release is not possible. See the
Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Forms and Instructions at http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/index.htm for more
information on the use of NA in TRI reporting.
The second 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 TRI automated reporting tools (i.e. TRI-ME web) do not allow for blanks in quantity
data reporting. They require the submitter to enter a number or indicate "NA".
"NA" in the Data
The value "NA" may appear in some data elements in the six files that contain the Dioxin and Dioxin-like
Compound TEQ and individually reported mass quantity data. "NA" stands for not applicable. In the context
of TRI reporting, this means that it was not possible for the reporting facility to have this type of release or
transfer. As an example, if a facility had no underground injection wells at its location, it would not be possible
for that facility to have either underground injection releases to class I or class II-V wells. So, that facility
would check the NA box in part II, section 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 of the Form R. As mentioned above in the section
entitled "Zeroes in the Data", zeroes would be substituted into the on-site release amounts for those two
elements for the purpose of doing calculations (sums, averages, etc) if the data were loaded into spreadsheet,
databases or other similar tools.

Other On-line Tools for Accessing TEQ Data
Besides these data files, users can also query the TRI Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Congener and Toxic
Equivalency (TEQ) data on-line in the TRI section of EPA's Envirofacts Data Warehouse. The Schedule One
data and calculated TEQ values can be viewed as a supplement to the Form R display for reporting year 2009
dioxin and dioxin-like data. This query can be found at
http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/reports/tri formr qry.html.
In addition, there are also three queries/reports in the TRI EZ-Query section of Envirofacts that allow users to
access the Congener and TEQ data for On-site Releases, Off-site Transfers and Production Related Waste data.
These reports correspond to section 5, 6 and 8 of the Schedule One respectively. The TRI EZ-Query section of
Envirofacts can be found at http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/ez.html. The specific reports can be found at
these locations:
On-site Releases:

Record Layouts
The record layouts for the TRI Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds Toxic Equivalency (TEQ) Data appear in
the next section. There are eight 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.
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, sixth and seventh columns under the "Reference" heading indicate the "Form", "Part" and "Section"
of where the data originates from. There are three possible values for the "Form" column. They are:
Value	Description
R	Data Element taken from the Form R
S	Data Element taken from the Schedule One
Blank	Data Element obtained from another source other than the Form R or Schedule One
Refer to the "Toxic Chemical Release Reporting Forms and Instructions" documentation at
http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/index.htm for more information on the Form R and Schedule One.
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.
This file format can be loaded easily into several common desk top products. Two products that many users
have are Microsoft Excel and Access. Appendices A and B provide instructions for loading these files into
those two products.

Toxic Equivalency Factor (TEF) denotes a
dioxin compound's toxicity relative to 2,3,7,8-
TCDD which is assigned the maximum
toxicity designation of one. Other dioxin
compounds are given equal or lower
numbers, with each number roughly
proportional to its toxicity relative to that of
2,3,7,8-TCDD. TEFs. TEFs, developed by
the World Health Organization (WHO), are
used to calculate the Toxic Equivalency
(TEQ) of the Dioxin and Dioxin-like
compounds reported to TRI. TEQs are
calculated by multiplying the grams data for
each reported member of the category by its
TEF value and then summing the results.
