Column Name: POTW_TOT_TRANSFER
Description: The total amount (in pounds) of the toxic chemical transferred to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) during the calendar year (January 1 - December 31). Release amounts may be reported as specific numbers or as ranges (range reporting is not available for quantities greater than 999 pounds or for any chemical listed as a persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) chemical). Letter codes are used to represent ranges: A = 1-10 pounds, B = 11-499 pounds, and C = 500-999 pounds. The letters are converted to numbers for storage in the database where '1' represents range 'A', '3' represents range 'B', and '4' represents range 'C'. The historical value '2' = 1-499 pounds. If a facility uses a range code, the amount reported in the database is the midpoint of the range.
