This report tracks progress being made toward the EPA OSW goal, under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), to reduce the quantity of Priority Chemicals contained in wastes, by 10 percent, using a 2001 baseline. The Trends Report also shows trends from 2000-2004, concerning the generation and management of the Priority Chemicals by National, EPA Region, State, and industry sector, and federal facility levels. This update of the Trends Report, for the first time, also will present the generation and management trends of the Priority Chemicals within selected industry sectors. EPA annually updates this report, using the most recent Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data available to examine waste generation and management trends for the Priority Chemicals. The Trends Report and associated facility-specific data are only accessible at the website indicated below. |
