RTK NET’s TRI search now has:
+ New Summary page that provides a snapshot of your search, including new graphs, charts, a breakdown of release/waste types, and Top 5 lists of polluting companies, industries, and the top chemicals being released
+ Improved low and medium detail searches that you can sort by releases or waste amounts, facility name, parent company, chemical, industry, and geographic area
+ Core chemical” search that provides meaningful chemical comparisons by isolating chemicals consistently reported to TRI
+ Links to Mapquest street maps around facilities (in high-detail searches)
+ XML output that provides more downloadable TRI data than delimited files can
+ Updated industry codes replacing NAICS codes with SIC codes
+ Incorporated estimates of 1,000 lbs released to the environment and another 1,500 lbs of waste managed to account for the new “Form A” thresholds
2006 data is the first year that the most recent burden reduction policy changes went into effect. Companies can now choose to limit the amount of information they report using the Form A if they have 5,000 pounds or less of chemical waste (or 2,000 pounds if 2,000 pounds or less is released directly into the environment). The old threshold was 500 pounds. For more information, click here.
