Lets face it. TRI Reporting can be a big pain, especially if you're unsure how to do it or new at it. Here we discuss what we see as common mistakes and errors people who conduct reporting themselves can stumble into.
Like many others, we’re coming down the home stretch for Toxic Release Inventory Reporting, which is due July 1st. At this time of year, we get a lot of questions from facilities who are trying to do their own reporting, which is very understandable since it can be confusing, especially if you haven’t done it before.
Understanding some important points of TRI reporting is critical, since it can make the difference between being out of compliance and risking a fine from the USEPA, or doing it correctly and being in compliance. Being out of compliance with Toxic Release Inventory Reporting can be a big headache, including potential (huge) monetary fines, additional inspections, and more.
Our advice: do the reporting, and move on. Don't skip it, don't wait, just get it done, and get it done correctly.
Here’s a list of some of the more common mistakes we see facilities doing:
And last but not least, don't wait until the last minute to do reporting! Form R Reporting, particularly the first time you do it, is not the easiest thing to do. Waiting until the very end will undoubtedly make your job more difficult. If you’re in that boat (and reading this now), my best advice is to get to work or get some help as soon as possible!
But understand how to do Toxic Release Inventory Reporting, start reasonably early, and I think you’ll find that it’s not that difficult a task to accomplish. And as I always say, it’s better to try to be in compliance than totally ignore it.
