(Note that if a facility name appears multiple times within each of the below tables, the facility is a multi-establishment and submitted multiple forms for Dioxin and Dioxin-like compounds.
Note that in the table above, asterisks are shown to indicate that data for Dioxin and Dioxin-like compounds in grams (as required by EPA) was reported by the facility. EPA has converted these data into pounds and included them in the table total (in pounds). Please refer to the Dioxin and Dioxin-like compounds table below for reported amounts of Dioxin and Dioxin-like compounds in grams. Grams can be converted to pounds by multiplying by 0.002205.)

Transfers Off-site for Further Waste Management; or
Quantities of TRI Chemicals in Waste (waste management)
Note: Reporting year (RY) 2000 is the most recent TRI data available. Facilities reporting to TRI were required to submit RY 2000 data to EPA by July 2001. TRI Explorer is using a "frozen" data set that includes revisions submitted to EPA as of January 23, 2002 for the years 1988 to 2000 (i.e., revisions submitted to EPA after this time are not reflected in TRI Explorer reports). Please access EPA Envirofacts to view TRI data with the most recent revisions.

On-site releases are from Section 5 of the Form R. Off-site releases are from Section 6 (transfers off-site to disposal) of the Form R. Off-site releases include metals and metal compounds transferred off-site for solidification/stabilization and for waste water treatment, including to POTWs.

A decimal point, or "." denotes that the facility left that particular cell blank in its Form R submission (a zero in a cell denotes either that the facility reported "0" or "NA" in its Form R submission). "NA" in a cell denotes that the facility has submitted only Form A and thus the data for release, waste transfers or quantities of TRI chemicals in waste are not applicable. By submitting a Form A the facility has certified that its total annual reportable amount is less than 500 pounds, and that the facility does not manufacture, process, or otherwise use more than 1 million pounds of the toxic chemical.

The facility may have reported multiple SIC codes to TRI in the current reporting year. See the facility profile report by clicking on the facility name to see a list of all SIC codes submitted to TRI for the current reporting year.

Users of TRI information should be aware that TRI data reflect releases and other waste management of chemicals, not exposure of the public to those chemicals. Release estimates alone are not sufficient to determine exposure or to calculate potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. TRI data, in conjunction with other information, can be used as a starting point in evaluating exposures that may result from release and other waste management activities that involve toxic chemicals.
