  • Toxic Release Inventory Made Easy (TRI-ME)
  • http//www.epa.gov/tri/
  • Any NEW FACILITY
  • Facility Name must be
  • U.S. DOD USAF ANYWHERE AFB STATE
  • DOD not permitted to use Form A

47
EPCRA 313 More Form R Rules
  • No Range Codes allowed
  • A 010 pounds, B 11-100 pounds, etc.
  • Use Whole Numbers
  • 112 pounds, not 112.345678 pounds
  • Except for PBTs
  • Even then, dont go overboard

48
EPCRA 313 PBT Form R Rules
  • Final Rules
  • Thresholds are 0.1 grams (dioxins), 10 lbs, and
    100 lbs
  • NO De Minimis exemption (lt 1.0)
  • NO Range reporting in Sections 5 6
  • Not a huge deal because DOD is not allowed to use
    ranges anyway
  • Added data reporting precision to Form R software
    (x10-7 lbs)

49
EPCRA 313 Submit Form R

  • Munitions and Ranges
  • Lead and Lead Compounds
  • Fueling Activities

54
EPCRA Issues Coincidental Manufacture
  • Definition Manufacture of a chemical as a
    byproduct or impurity as a result of the M, P,
    OU, treatment, disposal of other chemical
    substances
  • You cannot exempt coincidental manufacture even
    if the originating activity was exempt

55
EPCRA Issues - Coincidental Manufacture
  • Examples
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Nitrate Compounds
  • Combustion of fuels
  • Coal - Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrogen Fluoride,
    Mercury, Dioxins
  • No. 2 Fuel Oil - Formaldehyde
  • No. 6 Fuel Oil - Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds
    (PACs), Benzo(G,H,I)perylene

56
EPCRA Issues Coincidental Manufacture
  • Reporting Releases
  • Generally, these chemicals are NOT measured
  • Use best estimations and known calculating
    methods
  • If you missed reporting CM chemicals, report as
    soon as you notice or are told
  • Back reporting may be required for any activity
    EXCEPT Coal Burning prior to CY 2000

57
EPCRA Issues Contractors Tenants
  • Contractors comply with all provisions of EO
    13148 per section 1505, including goals
  • Facility is Fence to Fence
  • Know ALL sources just to determine THRESHOLD
  • Report only your Part of a Facility RELEASES
  • Enlist cooperation from all entities on the
    Facility

58
EPCRA Issues Contractors Tenants
  • General Steps
  • Find their EPCRA POC
  • Compare rough data to determine if thresholds are
    vulnerable
  • If busted, you report/they report
  • If well below threshold, document and QUIT

59
EPCRA Issues Contractors Tenants
  • Basically, encourage participation without
    requiring more deliverables
  • Document review
  • Emergency plans, hazardous waste reports
  • Contract clauses, permits, approvals,
    registrations
  • Could take list of at risk chemicals to
    Contractor
  • Make threshold determination on best available
    data

60
EPCRA ISSUES Munitions and Ranges
  • Apply EPCRA to Munitions and Ranges
  • Data collection
  • There are NO duds
  • Apply Exemptions
  • Evaluate against thresholds
  • Calculate releases
  • Follow DOD/AF policy
  • Posted on DENIX or get from Pro-Act

61
EPCRA ISSUES Munitions and Ranges
  • Thresholds
  • Ranges are separate from the rest of the
    installation
  • Range Employee Threshold - 10 FTEs
  • Count personnel with any job related to the range
  • Employees do not have to be physically located ON
    the range to be counted
  • COUNT Target maintenance/construction, range
    clearance sweeps, natural resource activities,
    range control work

79
How to Calculate Thresholds
  • Thresholds
  • NAICS
  • Number of People/Work Hours
  • Pounds of Chemical per Activity
  • Chemical on List above Deminimus
  • Collect data PER ACTIVITY (M,P,OU)

80
EPCRA 313 Filling Out Form R
  • Information Required for Form R
  • Chemical name, CAS number
  • Maximum amount on-site during year
  • Amount released to air, land, water
  • Amount transported for disposal, treatment,
    recycling, energy recovery
  • Amount, method and efficiency of waste treatment
  • Pollution prevention and chemical recycling
    activities

81
EPCRA Where to Begin?
  • Your Base has 750,000 gallons attributed to
    transient aircraft fueling.
  • The MSDS shows chemicals
  • Kerosine, 90 - 100
  • Benzene, 0.2
  • Napthalene, 3
  • 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, 0.5
  • Do you report?

82
FIRST THRESHOLDS
  • Fueling is considered Otherwise Use
  • Threshold for any chemical is 10,000 pounds
  • Except PBTs
  • Deminimus is 1 unless stated differently in List
    of Lists
  • Except PBTs
  • Check chemicals

83
FIRST THRESHOLDS
  • Benzene Deminimus is 0.1
  • Napthalene 1,2,4 TriMeth Deminimus is 1.0
  • Kerosine, 90 - 100 ...No
  • Benzene, 0.2 .Yes
  • Napthalene, 3 Yes
  • 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene, 0.5 No
  • Threshold calculation Need pounds of chemical
    to compare to threshold

84
Example of Threshold Calculation
  • Pounds of Chemical in JP- 8
  • (Gallons of JP-8) x
  • (Specific Gravity of Chemical) x (Chemical in
    JP-8) x
  • (62.43 pounds/cubic feet) /
  • (7.48 gallons/cubic feet)
  • ? Lbs chem (Gal JP-8)(Sp Gr)()(62.43)
  • 7.48

85
Calculate Napthalene Threshold
  • ? Lbs chem (Gal JP-8)(SpGr)()(62.43)
  • 7.48
  • ? Lbs Napthalene
  • (750,000 gal JP-8) (0.82)(0.03)(62.43)/7.48
  • 153,998 pounds Napthalene
  • Do we report Napthalene?
  • (HINT OU threshold 10,000 pounds)
