OVERVIEW OF TRI BASIC PLUS DATA FILES

The TRI "Basic Plus" data files include 10 file types that collectively contain all the data fields from the TRI
Reporting Form R and Form A (except Form R Schedule 1). The 10 file types are tab-delimited text (.txt) files
packaged into a .zip file.

Form R/Form A Reference

Type

CA_lA_2017.txt

Facility data, chemical
identification, chemical uses, on-
site releases and management, off-
site transfers, summary information

Part 1 (all), Part II (section 1, 3,
4, 5, 6.1.A, 6.2ABC,
7B, 7C, 8.2.B, 8.4.B, 8.6.

The Basic Plus Data Files are identified (named) by state, file type, and reporting year:

File Name = State + File Type + Reporting Year
For example, the file "CA_lA_2017.txt" contains facility, chemical identification,

chemical use, on-site release and waste management, off-site transfer and summary information (File Type
1A) for all facilities located in California (CA) for reporting year 2017.

In addition to the set of data files for each state, there are two other Basic Plus file sets: Federal and National
The Federal files (FED_lA_2017.txt, FED_2A_2017.txt, etc.) contain TRI data for all government-owned-and-
operated federal sites. The National files (US_lA_2017.txt, US_2A_2017.txt, etc.) contain TRI data for all U.S.
states and territories for a specific year.

DESCRIPTION OF FILE TYPE 3B CONTENTS

File Type 3B contains data about transfers of wastewater containing TRI chemicals to Publicly Owned
Treatment Works (POTWs) for Reporting Years (RY) 1987 to 2010. In the years covered by this file, a
facility only had to report the total amount of a chemical transferred to all POTWs, and a list of POTWs
the chemical was transferred to. Facilities weren't required to report how much of the chemical was
transferred to each POTW or how the chemical was managed once at the POTW. These details were
required for RY 2011 and later, however, and those data are available in Basic Plus File 3C.

The data in File 3B come from the TRI Reporting Form, as shown in the table below. Each record in File
Type 3B represents data from a single chemical reporting form (i.e., Form R) submitted by a facility.

Note: In 2005, the TRI Program stopped collecting underground injection control (UIC) identification numbers
from facilities on the TRI reporting forms. UIC IDs identify facilities that received permits from state
governments to dispose of or release chemical waste into Class I through Class V underground injection wells.

The TRI Program does have some historical UIC IDs that were collected prior to 2005. Many of these, however,
are outdated and inaccurate. The TRI Program is also missing UIC IDs for facilities that began reporting to TRI
in or after 2005. EPA does not store nor have access to current UIC IDs. Because of this lack of
current, accurate and complete data, the TRI Program removed the UIC ID data fields from the TRI Basic Data
Files in 2019.

To learn more about UIC permits and underground injection wells see the "Protecting Underground Source of
Drinking Water from Underground Injection (UIC)" website at https://www.epa.gov/uic

WHAT'S IN THIS DOCUMENT

The rest of this document is organized as a four-column data table. It describes what information you will
find when you download and open any of the "TRI Basic Plus Data: File Type 3B" files.

Column

Description

Number (No.)

The sequential number of the data element in the record

Field Name

The name of the data element (Note: these names correspond to the various
column headings in the data files themselves.)

Data Type

'C' for character data (alphanumeric)
'N' for numeric data
'D'for date

Description

A brief statement of what the data element represents, plus its TRI System
Source (in Table Name. Field Name format) and where on the TRI Reporting
Form R the data element is reported (i.e., reference). TRI System Source refers
to the data element's physical location within EPA's Envirofacts online data
warehouse.

When you open any of the Basic Plus data files, you'll see that the contents are delimited by tabs,
meaning a tab is placed between each data element. The first row of each file contains column headers,
which correspond to the "field names" in this document.

REMINDER: Quantities of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are in grams. Quantities of all other TRI chemicals
are reported in pounds. Facilities cannot use range codes to report quantities for dioxin and dioxin-like
compounds and other Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxics (PBTs). For a list of PBT chemicals see "Appendix C:
Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxics (PBTs)."

HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR USERS OF DOWNLOADABLE DATA FILES

When using any of the downloadable TRI data files, it will be helpful for users to refer to the TRI Reporting
Form R, the TRI Reporting Forms & Instructions document, and the Envirofacts TRI data model. The Reporting
Forms & Instructions document and sample reporting forms are available online in the GuideME application
at www.epa.gov/tri/guideme. The Envirofacts TRI data model is found at https://www.epa.gov/enviro/tri-
model. These resources provide useful context and have additional details about certain data elements.

for RY 1987 to 2010, only 75 have more than four POTWs listed as
off-site transfer locations. See "Appendix A - Accessing All POTW
Locations" for instructions on how to get information about all
locations.

-------
APPENDIX A - Accessing All POTW Locations

Not all the POTW locations reported are included in this file. The record layout for File Type 3B holds up to
four POTW locations. Of the approximately 2.1 million TRI submissions submitted in RY 1987 to 2010 (the
years covered by this file), roughly 75 submissions had more than four POTWs reported on them; facilities
could report a maximum of 21 POTW locations during these years.

The final field in the File 3B record layout, "Additional POTWs not Shown," indicates the number of POTWs
reported on the form but not displayed in the data file. To see all the POTW locations reported on the form,
use the "POTW Transfer Locations" report in the TRI EZ Search section of EPA's Envirofacts at:

https://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/ez column v2.list?database tvpe=TRl&table name=V TRI TRANS POTW LOC EZ

Here are the instructions:

1. Go to the "POTW Transfers Locations" report in "EZ Search" in the TRI Section of Envirofacts at:

https://iaspub.epa.gov/enviro/ez column v2.iist?database type=TRl&table name=V TRI TRANS POT
W LQC EZ

2. Click the "check box" in front of any of the columns you'd like to display in the final report. Include the
field "Document_Control_Number" (field #2 from this file).

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button "Step3: Enter Search Criteria"

4. The "Step 3: Enter Search Criteria and Organize Ouptut" page appears.

5. Copy DOCUMENT_CONTROL_NUMBER from File 3B that you want to see all the POTW Locations for
into the search box for "Document_Control_Number" and/or put in any other search criteria needed.

6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Search Database" button.

7. The results will appear on the next page, listing all POTW locations.
