Facility self-reported chemical releases with units preserved. Reporting does not itself mean violation or exposure; pounds are not concentrations. Distance from a home does not establish exposure.

Within one mile of this record

  • 2 industrial reporting
  • 5 transmission lines
  • 19 major roads

Counts are records within a mile of the point, from the same sources; they overlap and are not unique facilities.

Reported chemical releases (TRI)

Facility self-report to EPA's Toxics Release Inventory. Pounds are not concentrations at any address, and chemicals differ widely in toxicity; do not add them together.

2024 air releases: 3,545 lb, compared with 3,547 lb in 2023. Water: 0 lb. Carcinogen-flagged air releases: 3,545 lb.

EPA air-program record

Linked by EPA TRI facility ID. A violation can be procedural (monitoring, reporting, permit conditions) or an emissions exceedance; the detailed facility report says which.

Why this may matter, and what to check

A source is not an exposure measurement. Health effects depend on the chemical or physical agent, whether it reaches a person, its concentration, exposure route, duration and individual susceptibility.

Why this may matter

The chemical, release route and concentration matter more than a facility count or a total number of pounds. Air releases may contribute to exposure downwind; water releases need a water-pathway assessment. Reporting does not itself establish a violation.

How it could reach a home

Air, water and land releases have different transport pathways. Emission mass is not the concentration at an address. Do not add quantities with different units or treat all chemicals as equally toxic.

What remains unknown

  • Pollutant concentrations at the address
  • Facility-specific exposure contribution
  • Whether a compliance issue involved emissions, monitoring or paperwork

What to check next

  • Environmental regulator — Review chemical-specific emissions, inspections and the underlying documents for any violation.
  • Facility operator — Ask which emissions controls and monitoring apply to the relevant process.
  • Environmental professional — Look for a published dispersion or exposure assessment before interpreting personal risk.
