The threshold amounts are 25,000 pounds per year for manufacturing, importing or processing of a listed chemical and 10,000 pounds per year for ancillary use of a listed chemical.
The Toxic Chemical Release Inventory provides information about the quantities of toxic chemicals released (routinely or accidentally) to the environment during the previous calender year. The form also identifies efforts taken to reduce pollution at the facility. A complete Form R must be submitted for each toxic chemical used in excess of the threshold amount even if no releases occurred.
These forms are to be submitted each year by July 1 to the state Commission and to the U.S. EPA. They are available for public inspection. The data may also be accessed electronically by computer bulletin board and CD-ROM. Contact the Michigan SARA Title III Office or U.S. EPA for further information.
