Reports under Section 313 must be submitted annually to EPA and to designated state agencies. Reports are due by July 1 of each year and cover activities at the facility during the previous calendar year. U nder Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-toKnow Act (EPCRA), facilities are required to report releases and other waste management of specifically listed chemicals. They are also required to report transfers of all toxic chemicals for waste management REQUIREMENTS to off-site locations. ) 10 or greater employees ) Primary SIC code is listed ) Manufactured, processed, or Facilities that met all three of the adjacent criteria are subject to EPCRA Section 313 release and other waste management reporting. otherwise used, during the year, any listed toxic chemical in quantities greater than the set Georgia Emergency Response threshold ) Products used for janitorial or Commission maintenance purposes, motor vehicle maintenance, or laboratories are exempt The Georgia Emergency Response Commission receives the toxic release information from facilities within Georgia. The Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is designated as the state agency to manage this information and to serve as its repository. 1 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES What is reported? Every year since 1988, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has The quantities released are only compiled information about the presence and release of toxic chemicals in communities within Georgia. This Toxics Release estimates of amounts Inventory Report is intended to inform the public about the released. presence of such releases in their community and to allow better response should a chemical accident occur. Facilities must file for each listed chemical that is manufactured, processed or otherwise used above the threshold limits in a calendar year. The facility must report information such as: Physical address of the facility Contact person for questions on the reported information On-site uses of the chemicals documented in the report Maximum quantities on-site Estimated amounts released to the environment Accidental release quantities, or one time events not associated with production events Quantities of chemicals transferred off-site for recycling, energy recovery, treatment, or disposal Source reduction activities Quantities of chemicals treated or recycled on-site 2 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Data collection ) Facilities are not required to monitor, or make additional measurements to determine the actual amounts released. The facility is only required to base the reports on measurements and monitoring data if they are available. The facility may estimate based upon engineering calculations, mass balance, or emission factors provided by their equipment manufacturer. The data provide a general indication of the types and quantities of chemicals released by manufacturing facilities. The data cannot be used to make conclusions on environmental quality or public health threats, since they do not provide a measurement of concentrations in the environment. Most of the releases reported are regulated by restrictions placed in permits issued by EPD. Releases are allowed only in a concentration and manner which will not degrade the environment. How TRI information is used The information within the TRI Report bridges communication between facilities and the surrounding community. Public interest and environmental groups, news media, community organizations, educators, researchers, industry, consultants, students, local governments, and private citizens have all made use of the information extracted from the TRI Report. Facilities extract data to improve their own processes that may be inefficient or costly, in terms of the losses they encounter, as well as in waste handling and disposal. EPD encourages citizens to review the data and research the facilities that share their community. A county-by-county spreadsheet is provided within this report which lists all reporting facilities as well as a summary of the reported data. If your county is not listed on the spreadsheet, no facilities reported information to EPD in your county. Data limitations Numerous sources are not required to report under Section 313, such as nonmanufacturing industries, small businesses, motor vehicles, and agricultural operations. The reader must consider that the TRI Report does not indicate exposure, and cannot be used to determine the impact on public health. Toxicity, local meteorology, proximity to the release, as well as the release rate can all affect potential exposure dangers. A small release of a highly toxic chemical poses a greater risk than a large release of a less toxic chemical. The reader may wish to discuss any concerns with the facility or with the Local Emergency Planning Committee if further information is desired. 3 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES TRI Toxic Release Data To achieve the total in the right column, add the totals for air, water, land, POTW, and non-production releases. T he reader will notice that transfers are not included in this table. Further discussion of transfers is found later in this Report. The quantities listed within this table are reported in pounds. The only exception is for dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals. Further information on these chemicals can be found later in this report.

Neither the federal government nor the State of Georgia has established a standard for nitrates in rivers and lakes. The main concern about nitrate is in drinking water. The drinking water standard is 10 mg/l. All of Georgia's public drinking water systems have nitrate concentrations well below this level and are not impaired by nitrates. 8 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Land Release Data 3 The five subcategories for land releases include RCRA landfills, landfills other than RCRA, land treatment or farming, surface impoundments, and other when the release does not fit the other four categories. These categories do not include land disposal offsite. The tables below indicate the top ten releases to land reported for 2001.

POTW refers to discharges made to Publicly Owned Treatment Works. The more familiar name for these facilities is public sewage treatment plants. Chemicals are conveyed through underground sewage pipes along with the facility's wastewater. They may also be trucked or delivered through other direct methods. Depending upon the chemical, the POTW may be able to remove up to 99% of the chemical in the waste stream. The effluent is then either land applied or released in concentrations that do not affect the surface Facility County Saft America Inc Lowndes Nutrasweet Company Richmond Equity Group Mitchell Intercat-Savannah Chatham Siemens Energy & Auto DeKalb Chem-Tech Finishers Whitfield GM MLCG Doraville Dekalb Ford Motor Company Fulton Pratt & Whitney Muscogee Photocircuits Corp Fayette POTW Totals (Pounds) 1,163,111 490,000 423,600 422,392 296,400 229,700 124,520 96,479 87,747 85,855 Table Top Ten Facilities for POTW Releases 2001 Facility Saft America Inc Nutrasweet Company Intercat-Savannah Equity Group Siemens Energy & Auto Chem-Tech Finishers GM MLCG Doraville Vulcan Perf-Smyrna YKK USA Ford Motor Company County Lowndes Richmond Chatham Mitchell DeKalb Whitfield DeKalb Cobb Bibb Fulton Chemical Name Nitrate Compounds Methanol Nitrate Compounds Nitrate Compounds Nitrate Compounds Biphenyl Nitrate Compounds Formaldehyde Ethylene Glycol Certain Glycol Ethers POTW Totals (Pounds) 1,163,103 470,000 422,392 415,000 250,000 215,400 87,000 81,632 80,000 67,000 Table Top Ten Chemical Releases per Facility to a POTW 2001 10 Transfers Data r Transfers are shipments of waste to treatment or disposal facilities for the purpose of disposal, treatment, energy recovery, or recycling. The chemical may be deposited directly into a landfill, or treated to reduce its toxicity before release to the environment. For the 2001 TRI Report, EPD has separated these categories into two sections. All facilities reporting chemicals disposed are put into one section, and the remaining three categories (treatment, recovery, and recycling) are put into another section, called recycling. The reader will notice that the transfers category was left out of the Total Releases Table at the beginning of this report. You will find the data for the years 1998-2001 below.

This quantity is typically the result of a direct release to the environment as a one-time event that is not associated with a production process. They can include accidental spills or remedial actions not addressed elsewhere in the report. They may also be associated with a catastrophic event, such as a fire, flood, or tornado. EPD finds this category to be most interesting to the reader, as these releases are not permitted discharges. EPD has included the entire list of reported releases for this category for the benefit of the reader.

PBT Chemicals Data As mentioned previously in this report, changes have been made to the thresholds for persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals or compounds, (PBT's). Mercury compounds, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC's) are included in this list. These chemicals may be carcinogenic, but the most important characteristic of PBT's is that they remain in the body of the person injesting them. For example if a shrimp absorbed such a chemical, and a fish ate the shrimp, and then a bigger fish ate that fish. And if eventually a person ate that fish, he would gain the chemical from all the animals, right down to the first shrimp. Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds has its own table because the quantities are listed in grams. New software allows EPD to list less than a gram for the 2001 data. Mercury and PAC's are reported in pounds. The unit for dioxin and dioxin-like chemicals is in grams, due to the lower threshold requirement. All releases including these chemicals are listed in the following table with the exception of accidental releases, which are noted in the previous table.

There has been several changes over the 2000 data. Hydrochloric Acid increased over the 2000 data but Methanol had a slight decrease over the 2000 data. Nitrate Compounds have replaced ammonia in the top three chemicals, and had an increase of 3.7 million pounds. Ammonia only had a slight increase. Xylene has dropped out of the top ten, and Manganese Compounds have been introduced. Chemical Name Total (Pounds) Hydrochloric Acid 44,012,812 Methanol 13,205,729 Nitrate Compounds 9,322,167 Ammonia 9,066,704 Sulfuric Acid 5,960,812 Barium Compounds 5,167,878 Hydrogen Fluoride 3,284,545 Styrene 2,810,038 Toluene 2,393,174 Manganese Compounds 1,724,200 Table Top Ten Chemicals Released 2001 20 County Release Data The following table is a county-by-county breakdown of all the facilities that submitted a Toxic Release Inventory Report to Georgia. It does not include chemical data; such a compilation would be much too vast for the scope of this report. It does include the subtotals for each category, per facility, separated by facility and county. Occasionally a facility will have more than one site within one county, if the reader sees such a case, it is not a mistake. Again, if a county is not listed within this table, no facility within that county reported TRI information to EPD. 21
