• Section 6.2: Transfers to other offsite locations, for disposal codes only. The disposal codes are as follows: • M10 Storage only • M40 Solidification/Stabilization—Metals and Metal Compounds only • M41 Solidification/Stabilization—Metals and Metal Compounds only • M61 Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTW)— Metals and Metal Compounds only • M62 Wastewater Treatment (excluding POTW)— Metals and Metal Compounds only • M63 Surface Impoundment Recycling • M64 Other Landfills • M65 RCRA Subtitle C Landfills • M66 Subtitle C Surface Impoundment • M67 Other Surface Impoundment • M71 Underground Injection • M72 Offsite Disposal in Landfills • M73 Land Treatment • M79 Other Land Disposal • M81 Underground Injection to Class I Wells • M82 Underground Injection to Class II–V Wells • M90 Other Offsite Management • M91 Transfers to Waste Broker—Disposal • M94 Transfers to Waste Broker—Disposal • M99 Unknown Differences in how quantities are reported TRI includes the weight of the toxic chemicals within a waste stream, while RCRA reporting on hazardous wastes encompasses the weight of the entire waste or waste stream that meets the definition of RCRA hazardous waste. Therefore, hazardous wastes included in BR could be aqueous, solids, or sludges, weighing more than the toxic components portion alone. In addition, the waste streams reported to BR are considered hazardous, but may not contain constituents that are considered toxic as defined in TRI (e.g., waste streams may be hazardous to humans based on their ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, toxicity, or hazardous constituents listed in 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII). Differences in reporting universes There is overlap with some facilities reporting to both systems. Differences in reporting frequency TRI is annual; BR is every other year. Comparing TRI and BR Both TRI and BR contain information on waste. TRI includes information on toxic chemicals managed as waste. BR includes information on hazardous waste generated and managed. The quantities of hazardous waste reported to BR differ from those reported to TRI, because of numerous differences between the two systems, several of which are discussed below. Differences in what is reported TRI reporting is required for any toxic chemical (from a list of more than 600 chemicals) for which manufacturing, processing, or other use exceeds a reporting threshold. BR reporting is required for RCRA listed and characteristic hazardous wastes. 118 Data Sources, Methodologies, and Considerations 2008 SECTOR PERFORMANCE REPORT
