- Chemical inventory — purchase records, production logs, CAS numbers for all listed toxic chemicals manufactured, processed, or otherwise used
- Release/emission data — CEMS data, stack tests, discharge monitoring reports, waste manifests, emission factor calculations
- Prior TRI submissions — for consistency and trend analysis
- Pollution prevention records — process modifications, material substitutions, recycling data
Quick Start
- Gather facility records and chemical inventory data
- Determine threshold status for each chemical (Part 2)
- Quantify releases across all media (Part 3)
- Document off-site transfers and verify material balance (Part 4)
- Report source reduction activities (Part 5)
- Route for certification and submit via TRI-MEweb by July 1
