Section 313 of SARA Title III requires certain facilities to submit a completed Form R for each toxic chemical that is used at the facility during the calendar year. This report must be submitted by July 1 of every year for the chemicals used during the previous calendar year. To obtain information about routine chemical releases into the environment, EPA uses Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting. Facilities are required to report the quantity of chemicals released on-site as well as the amount of chemicals transferred off-site. This includes air emissions, wastewater discharges and releases to land.

Did you know that certain exemptions apply for those companies not classified under specific SIC codes, or those facilities using or storing less that a certain amount of chemical?  McKinzie Environmental can guide your facility or company through the process of assessment and compliance with TRI reporting requirements.

If your facility is subject to TRI Reporting Requirements, we can assist you by:

• Notifying the authorities if a reportable release of hazardous substances occurs.
• Submitting a Toxic Chemical Release Form (EPA Form R) annually for each chemical that is processed, manufactured, or used in excess of the specified amount.
