What is required of a facility when USEPA lowers the threshold for chemicals on the TRI list such as in the case of some PBTs that had previously been regulated at 10,000 pounds per year?
Consistent with the previous answer, facilities that go above threshold when hazardous substance thresholds are lowered are required to update their Pollution Prevention Plans and send Plan Summary revisions to the Office of Pollution Prevention by July 1 of the year following the year in which they file their first Form R’s. Thus, for PBTs that have gone above threshold in reporting year 2000, facilities will be required to submit federal Form R’s and state RPPR’s by July 1, 2001, and update Pollution Prevention Plans and Plan Summaries by July 1, 2002.
