This dataset contains the basic facility identification information for all Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities, in Florida, for Reporting Year 2015. The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a database containing detailed information on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical categories that industrial and federal facilities manage through disposal or other releases, and waste management for recycling, energy recovery, or treatment. The file lists the last reporting year the Facility submitted an active and valid data to the TRI program. TRI tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. U.S. facilities in different industry sectors must report annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through recycling, energy recovery and treatment. (A "release" of a chemical means that it is emitted to the air or water, or placed in some type of land disposal.) The information submitted by facilities is compiled in the Toxics Release Inventory. TRI helps support informed decision-making by industry, government, non-governmental organizations and the public. This layer is an update to the EPATRI_2014.shp.
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) contains information about releases and transfers of more than 650 toxic chemicals and compounds to the environment. https://www.epa.gov/enviro/tri-search-user-guide In general, chemicals covered by the TRI Program are those that cause: - Cancer or other chronic human health effects - Significant adverse acute human health effects - Significant adverse environmental effects Facilities that manufacture, process or otherwise use these chemicals in amounts above established levels must submit annual TRI reports on each chemical. The TRI chemical list doesn't include all toxic chemicals used in the U.S. https://www.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program/learn-about-toxics-release-inventory
FRS uses a best-pick algorithm to provide horizontal positional information. This assigns the latitude and longitude with the best accuracy value to each facility. Because information in FRS is collected across numerous states and programs, positional accuracy for the data set varies for each individual feature and is stored on a record-level basis. Overall horizontal positional accuracy for the entire data set fluctuates as new information is received and is not estimated for the entire data set within this record. For more information on accuracy of FRS locations, visit http://www.epa.gov/frs/index.htm.

The data in this file is a reconciliation of all the data the TRI program has collected from a facility over the course of its participation in the TRI program. Most facilities have sent in several chemical reports (form Rs and As) each year, for a number of years When the data is collected at the TRI Data Processing Center, differences from form to form and year to year are identified, researched and reconciled. The result is a database of facility identification information that is consist and up to date. Some of the data that appears in this file is not a result of facility reconciliation. The Title of the Certifying Official, Certifying Official s Name, Entire Facility Ind, Partial_Facility_Ind, Federal Facility Ind, GOCO Facility Ind and the SIC codes are all taken from the last active and valid form the facility submitted. All other data is the result of the reconciliation process.

The following steps were taken to subset the dataset to the Florida extent and restructure the table.
1. Definition Query Where: STATECODE <> 'FL'
2. Reclassify STATECODE = 'FL' for points miscoded in Florida.
3. Clear Definition Query.
4. Select STATECODE = 'FL' , then remove points not in Florida and export selection.
5. Project new Florida extent only data layer to FGDL Albers HARN.
- Using Transformation NAD83 to HARN FL
6. Select on the field PGM_SYS_ACRNM= 'TRIS' and export selection set.
7. Restructure table, see below.
- Fields within this layer were renamed to fit shapefile table field naming constraints.

This EnvirofactsRestAPI excel table was then loaded to a FGDB.
A table join was then created between the
TRI Current Basic Data database file and the EPA spatial data.
A TRIFID summary table was created from the TRI Current Basic Data ID
and this count information was used to populated the RELEASE field.
A Clean Air Act Chemical summary table was created from the TRI Current Basic
Data and this count information was used to populated the CAAREGCHEM field.
The fields used to populate the CAAREGCHEM were CLASSIFICATION and CARCINOGEN.
Two release id's were not reflected in the FRS_INTERESTS.gdb and thus could not be joined to the spatial data layer:

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
