Workflow

Overview

CaseMark automates the drafting of EPA Toxic Release Inventory Form R reports required under EPCRA Section 313 and 40 CFR Part 372. The AI processes your facility records, chemical inventories, and emission data to produce a comprehensive, certification-ready Form R covering all five required sections. From chemical threshold determinations to source reduction narratives, CaseMark transforms complex environmental data into structured, submission-ready reports.

Preparing EPA Form R reports is a labor-intensive process that requires environmental professionals to manually compile facility data, determine chemical thresholds, quantify releases across multiple media, and document pollution prevention activities. A single facility with multiple reportable chemicals can require dozens of hours of data gathering, calculation, and narrative drafting — all under a strict annual deadline.

CaseMark's AI-powered Form R generator ingests your facility records, chemical inventories, and emission data to automatically structure all five parts of the Form R report. The system performs threshold determinations, quantifies multi-media releases, verifies material balances, and drafts source reduction narratives — delivering a certification-ready report that can be directly referenced for TRI-MEweb submission.

How it works

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

  2. 2. AI analyzes chemical thresholds, quantifies releases, and structures all five Form R sections

  3. 3. Review the draft report, verify material balances, and customize narrative explanations

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

Questions

Does CaseMark handle chemical threshold determinations automatically?

Yes. CaseMark analyzes your chemical inventory and production logs against EPA Section 313 thresholds to determine reporting obligations for each listed toxic chemical. It flags chemicals that meet manufacture, process, or otherwise-use thresholds under 40 CFR Part 372.

Can I use prior year TRI submissions for consistency checks?

Absolutely. CaseMark can incorporate your prior TRI submissions to ensure year-over-year consistency, identify trend anomalies, and flag any significant changes in release quantities that may require narrative explanation.

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

CaseMark generates a certification-ready Form R report structured to match EPA's required format. The output covers all five parts of the Form R and can be directly referenced when entering data into TRI-MEweb for electronic submission by the July 1 deadline.

How does CaseMark handle multi-media release quantification?

CaseMark processes your CEMS data, stack tests, discharge monitoring reports, waste manifests, and emission factor calculations to quantify releases across air (fugitive and point source), water, and land. It also performs material balance verification to ensure data integrity.

Can CaseMark generate Form R reports for multiple chemicals at one facility?

Yes. CaseMark can draft separate Form R sections for each reportable chemical at your facility, each with its own CAS number, threshold determination, release quantification, and source reduction narrative.

Is this suitable for federal facilities with special reporting requirements?

Yes. CaseMark identifies federal facility status and flags the special procedures and additional requirements that apply, ensuring your Form R report addresses all applicable federal facility obligations under EPCRA Section 313.
