Quarterly EPA Seminar 

 

This free two-part breakfast seminar will cover the basics of Toxics Release Inventory Reporting (TRI) and Risk Management Plan (RMP) 

Toxics Release Inventory (TRI ) - The basics and overview of TRI Reporting (Deadline date July 1) 

TRI tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. U.S. facilities in different industry sectors must report annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through recycling, energy recovery and treatment. (A "release" of a chemical means that it is emitted to the air or water, or placed in some type of land disposal.)

 

Risk Management Plan (RMP) - The basics and overview of RMP

The intent of section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act is to prevent accidental releases to the air and mitigate the consequences of releases that do occur by focusing on prevention measures on chemicals that pose the greatest risk to the public and the environment. Under these requirements, industry has an obligation to prevent accidents and operate safely. The document that summarizes these requirements is called a Risk Management Plan (RMP).
