Tri Form R

Overview

CaseMark's TRI Form R skill automates the preparation of EPA Toxic Release Inventory reports required under EPCRA Section 313 and 40 CFR Part 372. It transforms raw facility records, chemical inventories, and emission data into a comprehensive, certification-ready Form R covering all five reporting sections. The AI handles complex threshold determinations, multi-media release quantification, and source reduction documentation so your team can focus on data verification rather than manual report assembly.

Preparing EPA Form R reports is a labor-intensive annual obligation that requires environmental professionals to manually compile facility data, determine chemical thresholds, quantify releases across multiple environmental media, and document pollution prevention activities. The complexity of 40 CFR Part 372 requirements, combined with the risk of enforcement actions for errors or late filings, makes each submission cycle a significant resource drain.

CaseMark automates the end-to-end Form R drafting process by ingesting your facility records, chemical inventories, and emission data, then producing a structured report that covers facility identification, threshold determinations, release quantification, off-site transfers, and source reduction activities. The AI flags data gaps, validates material balances, and generates certification-ready output that streamlines your path to TRI-MEweb submission by the July 1 deadline.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload facility records, chemical inventory data, and release/emission documentation

  2. 2. AI analyzes threshold status, quantifies releases, and maps off-site transfers

  3. 3. Review the structured Form R draft with flagged discrepancies and data gaps

  4. 4. Export the certification-ready report for TRI-MEweb submission (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does CaseMark handle threshold determinations for each listed chemical?

Yes. CaseMark AI evaluates each chemical against EPA Section 313 thresholds based on whether the substance was manufactured, processed, or otherwise used. It flags chemicals that meet or exceed reporting thresholds and documents the activity determination for each.

Can I use prior year TRI submissions for consistency checks?

Absolutely. CaseMark can ingest your prior TRI filings to perform trend analysis, flag significant year-over-year changes, and ensure consistency in reporting methodology and emission factors across submission years.

Does the output meet EPA formatting requirements for TRI-MEweb?

CaseMark generates a structured Form R draft that mirrors the official EPA reporting format, covering all required sections from facility identification through source reduction. The output is designed to streamline your data entry into TRI-MEweb for final electronic submission.

How does CaseMark handle release quantification across multiple media?

CaseMark AI processes stack test results, CEMS data, discharge monitoring reports, waste manifests, and emission factor calculations to quantify releases to air, water, land, and underground injection. It cross-checks totals against material balance for accuracy.

Is the generated report suitable for federal facilities with special procedures?

Yes. CaseMark identifies federal facility status and applies the appropriate special reporting procedures. The system flags any additional requirements that apply specifically to federal installations under EPCRA Section 313.

What if my facility has undergone ownership or operational changes?

CaseMark prompts you to document any ownership, operational control, or SIC/NAICS classification changes since the prior reporting year and generates the required narrative explanations within the facility identification section.
