TRI: Growing pains

Journal Article · · Chemical Week
OSTI ID:526090

The 1994 toxics release inventory (TRI), scheduled to be released this week by EPA, will be the last before an aggressive expansion mapped out by EPA Administrator Carol Browner. By August 1, facilities must report on emissions and transfers of about 280 chemicals that were added to TRI in November 1994, nearly doubling the list. The changes could greatly increase the chemical industry`s TRI numbers, and there is more to come. This summer EPA is expected to formally propose extending TRI to nonmanufacturing facilities, such as power plants and airports. President Clinton has ordered EPA to expedite consideration of phase III of Browner`s expansion: chemical use reporting under TRI.
