TRI Library - Understanding TRI Reporting Requirements
If you’re required to submit a Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) report, or you’re trying to figure out whether the rule even applies to your facility, you’re in the right place. TRI reporting can be confusing, time-consuming, and easy to get wrong if you don’t work with it every year.
This TRI Reporting Learning Center pulls together clear, plain-language guidance, common questions, and practical resources to help you understand the requirements and make confident decisions. Whether you plan to handle TRI reporting in-house or want expert support, this is the best place to start.
Maybe you’re not quite ready to reach out yet, and that’s completely fine. TRI reporting can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re sorting through applicability questions, chemical thresholds, and EPA expectations. That’s exactly why we built the TRI Reporting Learning Center: one clear, reliable place to understand how TRI reporting works, what applies to your facility, and what decisions actually matter before the reporting deadline.
From applicability basics and threshold considerations to reporting timelines, enforcement realities, and common mistakes we see every year, this is where you’ll find practical, experience-driven guidance. Every article, video, and resource here is based on real TRI reporting work RMA has handled for regulated facilities, not generic explanations. We’ve spent decades helping companies stay compliant and avoid costly missteps, and we’re happy to share what you need to know.

I first met Doug of RMA in 2002 when I attended an environmental course he developed for the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Doug’s ability to effectively communicate and explain the voluminous environmental regulations pertaining to the concrete industry is remarkable. He is truly a gifted speaker and teacher. If you are new to the industry or the environmental field, I strongly recommend participating in Doug’s courses. Since then, we’ve worked together on several projects including an NPDES permitting, and most recently, further development of the Green-Star EMS Program at NRMCA. Doug’s passion, experience, and insight are always welcomed assets on any environmental project.

Simply put, as a consultant to the ready mixed concrete industry, Doug Ruhlin and the staff of RMA are one of the foremost authorities in terms of environmental regulations, permits, and responsibilities.

I have known Doug Ruhlin of RMA for nearly 20 years. RMA has been a leader in the environmental arena for all of that time. They're intimately versed in the key environmental issues that affect aggregates and concrete producers; they know the laws, regulations and both industries thoroughly. RMA has helped steer the formulation of new regulations and they have helped to direct industry's response to the current and new regulations - in multiple states. I would not acquire an existing operation or start a greenfield plant or quarry without consulting Doug.

After an extensive search, our firm hired RMA to educate our team on industry environmental best practices. Doug and his team were very thorough in their presentation and supporting documentation, and gave us a real world expectation of what we should be mindful of regarding reclaiming, slurry water, pH levels, permitting and other topics. I would highly recommend RMA to any company interested in understanding the important elements of environmental compliance, sustainability and those interested in positioning themselves as leaders in environmental stewardship.
