EPA is Taking an Important Step to Provide Communities with AdditionalInformation about the Release of Hydrogen Sulfide into the Environment
The Agency is announcing that it is considering lifting the 1994 Administrative Stay of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements for hydrogen sulfide. EPA is now presenting its rationale for why the Stay should be lifted, based on an updated evaluation that includes new information on human health and environmental effects of hydrogen sulfide.
This review is part of Agency efforts to examine the scope of TRI chemical coverage and provide communities with more complete information on toxic chemical releases.
The Toxics Release Inventory – Made Easy Web-based (TRI-MEweb) Application for Reporting Year 2009 is Now Available. - The TRI-MEweb application allows facilities across the U.S. to file, via the Internet, a paperless report, significantly reducing data errors, and receiving instant receipt confirmation of their submissions to US EPA and their State. The TRI-MEweb application is now available on the US EPA TRI Web site for facilities to report RY 2009 chemical release data in compliance with EPCRA reporting requirements. The deadline to report chemical releases for RY 2009 is midnight July 1, 2010. Learn more here.
TRI Reporting Aids and Assistance Materials
By law, if your facility is in a covered industry, you must file your Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reports by July 1 of each year. The TRI Compliance Assistance web page contains access to the resources necessary for industrial facilities to report their releases and transfers of certain toxic chemicals to meet EPCRA Section 313 requirements. Please note that the TRI Program is no longer offering in-person TRI training workshops.

TRI National Training Conference to be Held Every 18 Months
After much discussion and listening to your comments at the 2009 TRI National Training Conference about the possibility of moving the frequency of the conference from annual to a biennial event, we concluded that a good balance would be to hold the conference every 18 months. This will allow us to spend the time necessary to plan a useful and thoughtful conference, and minimize travel cost and time for the participants.
ECOS (under our cooperative agreement) proposes to work with the EPA TRI Program to organize and conduct a TRI National Training Conference in Fall 2010 that seeks to increase interactions among state, tribal, and federal representatives, and other stakeholders and to bolster understanding of the TRI Programs. This first meeting on the new 18 month cycle will be held during a two-and-a-half-day period in Fall 2010, and subsequent meetings will be held in Spring 2012, and Fall 2013.
In making this an eighteen month event, this will allow more time for topics/issues to develop among all stakeholders including NGO's such as the EJ community, along with the opportunity for EPA Regions to collaborate with their state counterparts on ways to enhance the TRI program.
Stay tuned for more details. Prior to the meeting, ECOS will request assistance from national and regional EPA TRI staff, state and tribal representatives, and other stakeholders to select topics and jointly establish an agenda for the meeting.
If you have additional questions or concerns on this topic, please contact Kelley Ann Lovelace of ECOS at 202-624-3660.
