Your Path to TRI Reporting Compliance Starts Here

The Short Version: We take stock of where things stand, help organize what you have (or don’t have), and gather what’s needed to move forward without overwhelming your team.

Once we get started, our first goal is to understand what information already exists and what gaps need to be filled. That might include chemical purchasing records, usage data, production numbers, safety data sheets, or past Toxic Release Inventory reports, if any exist.

Some facilities come in with solid chemical tracking systems and prior TRI reporting that was done well. In those cases, it’s sometimes possible to handle much of the work remotely, especially if we can build off of good data from previous years.

In many cases, though, TRI and Toxic Release Inventory reporting requires a site visit. That’s because we need to identify, qualify, and quantify release pathways. This means understanding how chemicals move through your processes and how they could be released to air, water, or land. That level of detail often can’t be confirmed from paperwork alone.

If a site visit is needed, we’ll schedule it at a time that works for your operation. We’re efficient, respectful of your team’s time, and focused on gathering the information we need without slowing anything down. The goal is not to complicate things, but to get the details right so your reporting is accurate and defensible.

And if you’re just discovering TRI requirements and don’t have a strong chemical tracking system yet, that’s okay. We can step in, help organize your information, and build a cleaner, more manageable system that supports TRI reporting not just this year, but for years to come.

The Short Version: We do the math, walk you through what’s being reported, and submit your TRI report accurately and on time.

With the data in hand, we handle the technical side of TRI and Toxic Release Inventory reporting. This includes determining whether reporting thresholds are exceeded, calculating releases and transfers, and completing all required reporting elements.

TRI calculations can get detailed, especially when multiple processes, chemicals, or release pathways are involved. Our job is to make sure those calculations are done correctly, consistently, and in a way that makes sense if they’re ever reviewed.

You’ll understand what’s being reported, where the numbers came from, and why certain assumptions were used. There are no surprise filings and no black-box math.

Once everything is reviewed and approved, we submit your TRI report through EPA’s reporting system and provide you with a clear record of what was filed. You can move forward knowing your Toxic Release Inventory obligations were handled carefully and correctly.

The Short Version: TRI reporting is an annual requirement. Most clients choose to keep us around year after year because it gets easier, smoother, and more cost-effective once we’ve done it together.

Toxic Release Inventory reporting is not a one-time requirement. If your facility is subject to TRI, this is something that comes up every year. Because of that, many of our clients choose to work with us as an annual partner to prepare and file their TRI reports year after year.

Once we’ve handled your TRI reporting once, future years are usually much easier. We already understand your processes, your release pathways, and how your chemicals are used. We’ve also helped you put better tracking systems in place. That typically means less effort, less disruption, and lower costs in following years.

That said, there’s no long-term contract or obligation. If you found yourself in a pinch this year and just need an experienced professional to step in and take care of it, that’s completely fine. We can handle the project, get you through the deadline, and hand everything back to you so you can manage it internally going forward.

On the other end of the spectrum, some clients want us more involved. That might mean helping with chemical tracking throughout the year, advising on changes that could affect TRI thresholds, or supporting other parts of your environmental compliance program. When TRI deadlines roll around, we’re already up to speed and ready to file without scrambling.

How involved we are is entirely up to you. We can be your annual TRI reporting partner, a one-time safety net, or a longer-term extension of your team. Our goal is to support you in the way that makes the most sense for your operation.
