Basis of Estimate

M1- Estimate is based on continuous monitoring data or measurements for the EPCRA section 313 chemical.

M2- Estimate is based on periodic or random monitoring data or measurements for the EPCRA section 313 chemical.

C- Estimate is based on mass balance calculations, such as calculation of the amount of the EPCRA section 313 chemical in streams entering and leaving process equipment.

E1- Estimate is based on published emission factors, such as those relating release quantity to through-put or equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).

E2- Estimate is based on site specific emission factors, such as those relating release quantity to through-put or equipment type (e.g., air emission factors).

O- Estimate is based on other approaches such as engineering calculations (e.g., estimating volatilization using published mathematical formulas) or best engineering judgment. This would include applying an estimated removal efficiency to a waste stream, even if the composition of the stream before treatment was fully identified through monitoring data.

2. Reporting the Waste Management of Metals

This appendix outlines how the TRI-MEweb reporting software restricts reporting for metals when the specific data element or waste management code is not applicable for a particular chemical. Below is a list of metals divided into four groups along with charts that help explain where quantities of these chemicals can and cannot be reported on the Form R using TRI-MEweb. In addition, there are charts that explain restrictions on reporting waste management codes for the toxic chemicals in each of the four groups. This appendix only shows where reporting is restricted in TRI-MEweb, it does not indicate every situation where a metal should not be reported in a specific section of the form. For example, TRI-MEweb does not restrict the reporting of most individually-listed metal compounds as used for energy recovery (Sections 8.2 and 8.3) even though some of these chemicals do not have a heat value greater than 5000 British thermal units (Btu) and, thus, cannot be combusted for energy recovery. It is left to the facility to decide which of these toxic chemicals can be used for energy recovery. If you are not using TRI-MEweb this appendix can serve as a guide to help you understand where it is not appropriate to report certain quantities of toxic chemicals or waste management codes on your Form R.

Sections 5.3 - Discharges to Water and 6.1 - Transfers to POTWs

The following chart indicates which metals can be reported as released to water in Section 5.3 or to POTW’s in Section 6.1. Only zinc (fume or dust) and aluminum (fume or dust) are not reported in these sections because the fume or dust form of a toxic chemical cannot exist in water.

Form R Section in Part II	Parent Metals	Metal Category Compounds	Metals with Qualifiers	Individually-listed Metal Compounds
Section 5.3 - Discharges to receiving streams or water bodies	All	All	Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy)	All except Asbestos
Section 6.1- Discharges to POTWs	All	All	Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy)	All except Asbestos

Section 6.2. Transfers to Other Off-Site Locations

Any toxic chemical may be reported in Section 6.2. However, TRI-MEweb will not allow certain M codes to be used when reporting metals. The chart below indicates which M codes can be reported in Section 6.2 for the four groups of metals. Note that all disposal M codes other than M41 and M62 can be used for all toxic chemicals. Code M24 is only made available for the four groups of metals.

Waste Management Code for Section 6.2	Parent Metals	Metal Category Compounds	Metals with Qualifiers	Individually-listed Metal Compounds
M41 and M62 (disposal codes for metals only)	All	All	Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy)	All except Asbestos
M56 and M92 (energy recovery codes)	None	None	None	All except Asbestos1
M20 and M28 (recycling codes)	None	None	None	All

M61, M69, M95 (treatment codes)	Barium2	Barium Compounds2	Same as above	All

Section 7A. On-site Waste Treatment Methods and Efficiency

TRI-MEweb allows any toxic chemical to be reported in Section 7A, however, it limits reporting in two ways. First, TRI-MEweb limits the treatment codes that can be reported based on the General Waste Stream Code selected. If a TRI-MEweb user selects General Waste Stream code “A – Gaseous”, all Waste Treatment Codes are made available. However, if a user selects from the remaining three General Waste Stream Codes (W - Wastewater, L - Liquid waste streams, or S - Solid waste streams), the “Air Emissions Treatment” Waste Treatment Codes are not made available. Second, the software restricts reporting for certain toxic chemicals with qualifiers. When reporting zinc (fume or dust) or aluminum (fume or dust) TRI-MEweb will not allow the user to select General Waste Stream Codes W-Wastewater and L-Liquid waste streams because the fume or dust form of a toxic chemical cannot exist in a liquid or water waste. For asbestos (friable) only S - Solid or A - Gaseous can be selected. When reporting hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols) or sulfuric acid (acid aerosols) only A - Gaseous can be selected.

Section 8. Source Reduction and Recycling Activities

The chart below indicates which metals can be reported in Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.6 and 8.7 of the Form R when using TRI-MEweb. Note that all toxic chemicals can be reported in Sections 8.1, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.8.

Waste Management Activity	Parent Metals	Metal Category Compounds	Metals with Qualifiers	Individually-listed Metal Compounds
Quantity used for energy recovery on site and off site (Sections 8.2 and 8.3)	None	None	None	All except Asbestos2
Quantity treated for destruction on site and off site (Sections 8.6 and 8.7)	None except Barium2	None except Barium Compounds2	All except Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy)	All

¹

1¹ Although TRI-MEweb does not restrict reporting of most individually-listed metal compounds as transferred off site for energy recovery, only chemicals with a heat value greater than 5000 British thermal units that are combusted in a device that is an industrial furnace or boiler (40 CFR Section 372.3) should be reported as used for energy recovery.

² The toxic chemical category barium compounds (N040) does not include barium sulfate. Because barium sulfate is not a listed toxic chemical, the conversion in a waste stream of barium or barium compound to barium sulfate is considered treatment for destruction (40 CFR Section 372.3).
