Welcome to GuideME. This site provides the Toxics Release Inventory guidance to assist you with reporting for your facility.

Does my facility need to report?
If a facility meets all three of the criteria below, it must report for each chemical for which the reporting requirement is triggered:

Is in a covered industry sector (e.g., manufacturing, mining, electric power generation, etc.). More info
Employs 10 or more full-time equivalent employees. More info
Manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses a TRI-listed chemical in the quantities above threshold levels in a given year. More info for chemical activity thresholds. View covered chemicals and chemical categories and their threshold levels.

The Threshold Screening Tool is a step-by-step questionnaire to help you determine if your facility needs to report to TRI.
