In addition to viewing the maps based on releases, you can also view the maps based on "RSEI Risk-Screening Scores." RSEI risk-screening scores are estimates of potential human health risk generated by EPA's publicly available Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators CRSEP model. These unitless scores represent relative human health risk from chronic exposures to TRI chemicals and allow one to compare RSEI scores across locations. For more on RSEI, see the Hazard and Potential Risk of TRI Chemicals section. States States include all U.S. territories for a total of 56 states/territories. All states have facilities that reported releases to the TRI Program for the 2016 reporting year. The states with the greatest number of facilities that reported are Texas, Ohio and California, which together accounted for ------- hh b TRI National Analysis 2016 www.epa.gov/trinationalanalvsis/ #* January 2018 20% of total reporting facilities in 2016. Selecting a state on the map will provide a pop-up with: • a state level summary of TRI data • a link to the state level TRI fact sheet • an option to zoom to the counties within the state. Metropolitan Areas More than 80% of the United States' population and many of the industrial facilities that report to the TRI Program are located in urban areas. This map option shows all metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (metro and micro areas) in the United States as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) within which TRI-reported releases occurred in 2016. Metro and micro areas consist of one or more socially and economically integrated adjacent counties, cities, or towns. Click on any of these areas on the map for an analysis of TRI data specific to each. Watersheds A watershed is the land area that drains to a common waterway. Rivers, lakes, estuaries, wetlands, streams, and oceans are catch basins for the land adjacent to them. Ground water aquifers are replenished based on water flowing down through the land area above them. Large aquatic ecosystems (LAEs) comprise multiple small watersheds and water resources within a large geographic area. The Large Aquatic Ecosystems Council was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2008 to focus on protecting and restoring the health of critical aquatic ecosystems. Currently, there are 10 LAEs in this program. Click on any of the 10 LAEs featured on the map to see an analysis of toxic chemical releases in each LAE. Water pollution, surface runoff, contaminated sediment, discharges of toxic chemicals, and air emissions can affect the quality of the land, water, and living resources within an aquatic ecosystem. Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals can be especially problematic in aquatic ecosystems because pollutants can accumulate in sediments and may bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and the tissues of fish and other wildlife within the food chain to concentrations many times higher than in the water or air, which ultimately may cause environmental health problems for humans and wildlife. 2 ------- hh b TRI National Analysis 2016 www.epa.gov/trinationalanalvsis/ #* January 2018 TRI Disposal or Other Releases by Large Aquatic Ecosystem, 2016 Air ¦ Water ¦ Land ¦ Total Off-site Disposal or Other Releases Gulf of Mexico (341 million lb) Great Lakes (191 million lb) Columbia River Basin (105 million lb) Chesapeake Bay (39 million lb) San Francisco Bay Delta (25 million lb) Puget Sound - Georgia Basin (6 million lb) Long Island Sound (3 million lb) South Florida (2 million lb) Lake Champlain Basin (743 thousand lb) Pacific Islands (520 thousand lb) Total Disposal or Other Releases by Large Aquatic Ecosystem per Square Mile, 2016 Gulf of Mexico Great Lakes Pacific Islands Chesapeake Bay Puget Sound - Georgia Basin Columbia River Basin San Francisco Bay Delta Long Island Sound South Florida Lake Champlain Basin 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 Pounds perSq.

Facilities located in Indian country that meet TRI reporting requirements must indicate the appropriate three-digit Bureau of Indian Affairs fBIAl tribal code on annual TRI reporting forms. In 2016, there were 40 facilities located in the Indian country of 16 different federally recognized tribes. These facilities reported a total of 25 million pounds of production-related waste and 9 million pounds of releases (total disposal or other releases). Over 99% of the TRI releases in Indian country occurred on-site. 94% of these releases were land releases reported by electric utilities and metal mining facilities. In 2016, these facilities primarily released metal compounds such as lead and barium. Lead is often present in the mineral ore disposed of by metal mines, whereas barium is present in coal and oil burned at electric utilities. The table below provides more details about various types of releases and waste management reported by facilities on federally recognized tribal lands.
