Data sources: 2020 TRI National Analysis dataset, released October 2021. Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model results based on 2019 National Analysis dataset, released October 2020.

NOTE: the TRI Program covers many—but not all—industry sectors and chemicals. Additionally, some facilities within a covered sector may not meet TRI reporting criteria.

View Map of TRI Facilities

The metro areas included in this menu have at least one facility that reported to TRI. The MSAs consist of one or more socially and economically integrated adjacent counties, cities, or towns.

View Map of TRI Facilities

The 10 watersheds included in this menu are those defined as Large Aquatic Ecosystems (LAEs), and contain multiple small watersheds and water resources within a large geographic area.

View Map of TRI Facilities

The tribal lands included in this search menu are federally recognized tribes with at least one TRI facility located within its boundaries, or within 10 miles of its boundaries.

NOTE: the TRI Program covers many—but not all—industry sectors and chemicals. Additionally, some facilities within a covered sector may not meet TRI reporting criteria.

Demographic data tell you about certain characteristics of the people who live near the facilities in your search area. In the map below, locations of TRI facilities are shown on top of Census block groups. Census block groups on the map are colored based on a demographic index indicator.

See the Demographic Profile section in the blue menu bar for more information and additional options for the demographic indicators.

Releases

Evaluating releases of TRI-listed chemicals can help identify potential concerns and gain a better understanding of potential risks the releases may pose. The following graph shows the total disposal or other releases of TRI chemicals (also referred to as "total relases"), including on-site disposal to land, discharges to water, and releases to air, and off-site transfers for disposal or release.

See the Releases section in the blue menu bar for more information and additional charts about releases.

Waste Managed

Facilities report to TRI the quantities of TRI-listed chemicals that they dispose of or otherwise release to the environment as a result of normal industrial operations. In addition, facilities report the quantities of these chemicals that they manage through preferred methods including recycling, combusting for energy recovery, and treating for destruction. This figure shows the trend in these quantities, collectively referred to as production-related waste managed.

See the Waste Managed section in the blue menu bar for more information and additional charts about waste management.

Potential Risk

EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model estimates risk "scores" that represent relative human health risk from chronic exposure to TRI chemicals. RSEI scores consider the toxicity of each chemical, the location of the release, chemical fate and transport throughout the environment, and the route and extent of potential human exposure. The following graph shows the trend in the RSEI score.

See the Potential Risk section in the blue menu bar for more information and additional charts about RSEI score estimates, including comparisons to TRI pounds released.

Pollution Prevention: Source Reduction

Facilities are required to report to TRI new source reduction activities that they initiated or fully implemented during the year. Source reduction, sometimes referred to as pollution prevention (P2), includes activities that eliminate or reduce the generation of chemical waste. This information can help facilities learn from each other's best practices and potentially reduce their own chemical releases. This figure shows the trend in the number of activities reported, grouped into eight different categories, such as process modifications or inventory control.

See the Pollution Prevention section in the blue menu bar for more information and additional charts about source reduction activities.

You can print this report for use as a handout. For ideas about sharing TRI information, see the TRI What You Can Do page.

Releases: includes air emissions, discharges to bodies of water or runoff, land disposal, and off-site transfers for disposal.

Waste Managed: the sum of all non-accidental chemical waste generated at a facility. It's the sum of on-site releases, on-site waste management (recycling, treatment, and energy recovery), and off-site transfers for disposal, treatment, recycling, or energy recovery.

Top Chemicals Released to Air, Water, and Land

On-site releases by chemical are shown below for air, water, and land releases. Hover over a pie slice to view chemical names and release quantities.

Top Facilities

These charts provide an overview for the top facilities in your current selection, based on total releases and waste managed.

Top Chemicals

These charts provide an overview for the top chemicals reported by facilities in your current selection. Three of the charts summarize releases by chemical for the three different on-site media types (air, water, and land), and the last chart summarizes waste managed by chemical.

Data on facility compliance with federal environmental laws are maintained in EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO).

For each facility listed in the table below, the number shown reflects the number of three-month periods in the past three years for which EPA identified known violations of environmental laws. Note that not every facility is regulated under all three laws.

Click on a facility name and then the green checkmark button for more detailed compliance and enforcement data.

The total number of quarters reflected in the table above is 12. Compliance information reflects the most recent three years of data. Specific dates defining each quarter may vary by law.

Releases

About Releases Data

A "release" refers to different ways that toxic chemicals from industrial facilities enter the air, water and land. Releases include spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.

Waste Managed

About Waste Managed Data

Facilities report how much of each chemical is recycled, burned for energy recovery, and treated, as well as how much is disposed of or otherwise released during normal production; these are all waste management methods. Facilities also report the quantity of chemicals emitted in the event of a one-time incident, such as a spill or fire; these are also included in “waste management."

Waste Transfers

About Waste Transfers Data

An off-site transfer is the transfer of chemical-containing waste to a facility that is geographically or physically separate from the facility reporting under TRI. Chemicals reported to TRI as transferred are sent to off-site facilities or publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) for the purposes of recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal. The amounts reported represent a movement of the chemical away from the reporting facility.

Pollution Prevention

About Pollution Prevention Data

Pollution prevention (P2), also known as "source reduction", is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents the creation of pollution prior to recycling, treatment, disposal, or release into the environment. Facilities are required to report any new source reduction activities each year by selecting codes on the TRI reporting form that best correspond to the implemented activity. If facilities are unable to implement new source reduction activities, they may report barriers to source reduction using barrier codes. Facilities also have the option to provide additional details in comments.

Potential Risk

TRI potential risk data are derived from EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI), a screening-level modeling tool that uses TRI air and water data to provide information about potential health-related impacts from toxic industrial releases. RSEI Score is a unitless value that accounts for the size of the chemical release, how the chemical degrades and moves through the environment, the size and location of the exposed population, and the chemical's toxicity. See the "More Info" button for more details.

The interactive summary table below can be used to find information about TRI releases and RSEI Score for different facilities, chemicals, and media in your current selection. You can expand or collapse each category to see the next level of detail using the and buttons. You can also rearrange the order of categories by dragging the field names in the top row.
