Column Name: WATER_RELEASE_1
Description: The total amount (in pounds) of the toxic chemical released to water during the calendar year (January 1 - December 31), including discharges to streams, rivers, lakes, oceans and other bodies of water. This includes releases from contained sources such as industrial process outflow pipes as well as open trenches. Releases due to stormwater runoff are also included. Release amounts may be reported as specific numbers or as ranges. Letter codes are used to represent ranges: A = 1-10 pounds, B = 11-499 pounds, and C = 500-999 pounds. If a facility uses a range code, the amount reported to TRI is the midpoint of the range. Null values will appear as a zero amount. "NA" indicates that the facility does not discharge the toxic chemical to surface water bodies.
