Column Name: TOTAL_OFFSITE_RELEASE


Description: The total amount of the toxic chemical that is transferred from a facility site to another site and then released to the environment via water,land or underground injection wells during the reporting year (January 1 - December 31). Release amounts are reported in grams for Dioxin and Dioxin like compounds and in pounds for all other chemicals. Release amounts may be reported as specific numbers or as ranges (TRANSFER_RANGE_CODE). In the case of range codes, the mid-point of the range is used as the estimated release. The estimates of 5, 250 and 750 pounds are used to represent the ranges of 1 to 10 pounds, 11 to 499 pounds and 500 to 999 pounds respectively. Range codes cannot be used to represent persistent bioaccumulative toxics (PBTs) PBTs are chemicals that remain in the environment for long periods of time, are not readily destroyed, and build up or accumulate in body tissue.

Listed below are descriptions of the off-site transfer types that are added together to formulate the Total Off-site Release.
