An Explanation of On-site Releases

A release is a discharge of a toxic chemical to the environment. On-site releases include emissions to the air,discharges to bodies of water, releases at the facility to land, as well as releases into underground injection wells.Releases are reported to TRI by media type. On-site releases are reported in Section 5 of Form R.Air Emissions. Releases to air are reported either as point source or fugitive emissions. Point source emissions,also referred to as stack emissions, occur through confined air streams, such as stacks, vents, ducts, or pipes.Fugitive emissions are all releases to air that are not released through a confined air stream. Fugitive emissionsinclude equipment leaks, evaporative losses from surface impoundments and spills, and releases from buildingventilation systems.

Surface Water Discharges. Releases to water include discharges to streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, and otherbodies of water. This includes releases from contained sources, such as industrial process outflow pipes or opentrenches. Releases due to runoff, including storm water runoff, are also reportable to TRI.

Underground Injection. Underground injection is the subsurface emplacement of fluids through wells. TRIchemicals associated with manufacturing, the petroleum industry, mining, commercial and service industries, andfederal and municipal government-related activities may be injected into Class I, II, III, IV, or V wells, if they donot endanger underground sources of drinking water (USDW), public health, or the environment. The differenttypes of authorized injection activities are: Class I industrial, municipal, and manufacturing wells inject fluids into deep, confined, and isolated formationsbelow potable water supplies. Class II oil- and gas-related wells re-inject produced fluids for disposal, enhanced recovery of oil, or hydrocarbonstorage. Class III wells are associated with the solution mining of minerals. Class IV wells may inject hazardous or radioactive fluids directly or indirectly into USDW, only if the injection ispart of an authorized CERCLA/RCRA clean-up operation. Class V wells, which include all types of injection wells that do not fall under I-IV, may inject only if they do notendanger USDW, public health, or the environment. Class V wells are, generally, shallow drainage wells, such asfloor drains connected to dry wells or drain fields.Beginning with the 1996 reporting year, facilities separately report amounts injected into Class I wells and into allother wells.

On-site Land Releases. On-site releases to land occur within the boundaries of the reporting facility. Releasesto land include disposal of toxic chemicals in landfills (in which wastes are buried), land treatment/applicationfarming (in which a waste containing a listed chemical is applied to or incorporated into soil), surfaceimpoundments (which are uncovered holding areas used to volatilize and/or settle waste materials), and other landdisposal methods (such as waste piles) or releases to land (such as spills or leaks). Beginning with the 1996reporting year, facilities separately report amounts released to RCRA subtitle C landfills from amounts released toother on-site landfills.

An Explanation of Off-site Releases (Transfers Off-site to Disposal)

An off-site release is a discharge of a toxic chemical to the environment that occurs as a result of a facilitystransferring a waste containing a TRI chemical off-site to disposal, as reported in Section 6 of Form R. Certainother types of transfers are also categorized as off-site releases because, except for location, the outcome oftransferring the chemical off-site is the same as releasing it on-site.

Transfers to Disposal. Toxic chemicals in waste that are transferred off-site for disposal generally are eitherreleased to land at an off-site facility or are injected underground. (See discussion of on-site releases to land andunderground injection for a description of these release types.)

Storage Only. Generally, a toxic chemical is sent off-site for storage because there is no known disposal method.One example is toxic chemicals in mixed hazardous and radioactive waste. EPA considers this an off-site releasebecause this method is being used as a form of disposal and the toxic chemical will remain there indefinitely.

Unknown. The unknown category of disposal indicates that a facility is not aware of the type of wastemanagement used for the toxic chemical that is sent off-site. Therefore, EPA has categorized this method as thelowest type of waste management (environmentally least desirable) and has included it as a type of disposal forreporting purposes. Thus, it is considered to be an off-site release.

Metals and Metal Compounds. The transfer of metals and metal compounds to solidification/stabilization and towastewater treatment (either publicly or privately owned treatment works) also result in releases and are classifiedas off-site releases (transfers to disposal).

An Explanation of On-site Waste Management

On-site waste management activities are reported in Section 8 of Form R. These amounts do not include one-timeevents such as accidental releases or remediation (clean-up).

Recycled On-site. This is the quantity of the toxic chemical recovered at the facility and made available forfurther use. To avoid double-counting, the amount reported represents the amount exiting the recycling unit. It isnot the quantity that entered an on-site recycling or recovery operation. For example, 3,000 pounds of a listedchemical enters a recycling operation. Of this, 500 pounds of the chemical are in residues from the recyclingoperation that are subsequently sent off-site for disposal. The quantity reported as recycled on-site would be 2,500pounds.

Used for Energy Recovery On-site. This is the quantity of the toxic chemical that was combusted in someform of energy recovery device, such as a furnace (including kilns) or boiler. The toxic chemical should have aheating value high enough to sustain combustion. To avoid double-counting, the amount reported represents theamount destroyed in the combustion process, not the amount that entered the energy recovery unit. For example,100,000 pounds of toluene entered a boiler that, on average, combusted 98% of the toluene. Any remaining toluenewas discharged to air. A total of 98,000 pounds is reported as combusted for energy recovery (the remaining 2,000pounds is reported as released).

Treated On-site. This is the quantity of the toxic chemical destroyed in on-site waste treatment operations, notthe amount that entered a treatment operation. For example, if 100,000 pounds of benzene were combusted in anincinerator that destroyed 99% of the benzene, the facility would report 99,000 pounds as treated on-site (theremaining 1,000 pounds would be reported as released).
