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.
