1.0 Overview 

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Basic Plus Data Files are a set of seven files that collectively 

contain all the data that were submitted on the TRI Reporting Form R or Certification Statement (Form 

A) by facilities in a selected state. The data in these files have been extracted from the Envirofacts 

database system. The seven files and their contents are as follows:

Part II (section 8.11) 

The Basic Plus Data Files are identified (named) by state, file_type, reporting year and version number. 

 File Name = State + File_Type + Reporting Year + Version number 

For example, the file “CA_1_2012_v12.txt" contains the Facility, Chemical identification, Chemical 

uses, On-site Releases and Management, Off-site Transfers and Summary Information (File Type 1) 

for all facilities located in California (CA) for reporting year 2012. The version number is “v12”. The 

“v12” signifies that the file was created with Reporting Year 2012 data. 
 2

Similarly, the file “CA_2a_2012_v12.txt” contains Reporting Year 2012 Detailed Source Reduction 

Activities and Methods data for the state of California. It was created with Reporting Year 2012 data. 

In addition to the set of files for each state, there are also 2 more file sets. There is a Federal file set 

(FED_1_2012_v12.txt, FED_2A_2012_v12.txt, etc.) which contains data for all government owned and 

operated federal sites. A third set of files, known as the National Data File set, contains all the TRI data 

(for all States and US Territories) for a specific year. The national data files are named 

US_1_2012_v12.txt, US_2A_2012_v12.txt, etc. 

Many of the data elements described in the Basic Plus Data Files documentation refer to the TRI Form R 

and Form A Certification Statement. These are the forms that facilities use to submit data to the TRI 

Program. The TRI Reporting Forms and Instructions document contains the actual forms and the 

complete instructions for filling them out. The Reporting Forms and Instructions is available at 

http://www.epa.gov/tri/report/index.htm. Complete lists of values for many of the data fields in the 

Basic Plus Data Files can be found in this document.

1.1 Detailed Description: File Type 1 

The “Type 1” file contains the bulk of the data found on a Form R and is the most used of the Basic Plus 

Data Files. It contains information about Facilities, Chemicals, On-site Releases, POTW quantities, Offsite Transfer and Disposal quantities, On-site Energy Recovery Processes, On-site Recycling Processes 

and Source Reduction and Recycling Activities. 

 

Each record in this file represents data from a single chemical report (Form R or Form A Certification 

Statement) submitted by a facility. Thus, this file contains records for all chemicals that were reported to 

TRI from a specific state and reporting year. 

Specific Contents: This file contains data from the following parts and sections of the Form R and 

the Form A Certification Statement.

1.2 Detailed Description: File Type 2A 

The “Type 2A” file is comprised of three general data sections. First it contains almost all of the Facility 

Identification data from Part I of the Form R or the Form A Certification Statement. Second it contains 

the Chemical Identification data from Part II, section 1 of the Form R or Form A Certification 

Statement. Third, it contains all of the data from Part II, Section 8 of the form R. This is the “Source 

Reduction and Recycling Activities” data. 

Mandated by section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA), the “Source Reduction and 

Recycling Activities” section (Part II, Section 8) of the Form R asks facilities for information about 

source reduction activities and quantities of EPCRA 313 chemicals managed as waste. Section 8 data 

gives an overall picture of On-site and Off-site releases and waste management as well as source 

reduction.

1.3 Detailed Description: File Type 2B 

File Type 2B primarily contains data from Part II, Section 7A of the Form R, “On-site Waste Treatment 

Methods and Efficiency.” In addition, this file contains most of the Facility identification information 

from Part I of the Form R (and Form A) and the Chemical Identification data from Part II, section 1.

1.4 Detailed Description: File Type 3A 

File Type 3A focuses on off-site transfers. Like the other Basic Plus Data Files, it lists the basic 

Facility and Chemical identification information from Part I and Part II of the Form R and A. It also lists 

the off-site location that a chemical has been transferred to and the methods and quantities of treatment 

or disposal.

 6

 1.5 Detailed Description: File Type 3B 

File Type 3B contains information about chemical transfers to Publicly Owned Treatment Works 

(POTWs). Like all the Basic Plus Data Files, this file contains general facility and chemical 

identification data. In addition, it contains the total quantity of the chemical that was transferred to all 

POTWs. And, it lists the names and locations of the first two POTWS that the facility sent the chemical 

to. 

The POTW data used for this file is from section 6.1 of the Form R. In section 6.1, the facility is asked 

to provide the total amount of the chemical transferred to all POTWs and the names and locations of 

those POTWs. The Form R does not ask the facilities to provide the specific amounts of the chemical 

that were transferred to each POTW. So, if there’s more than one POTW listed, there is no way to 

differentiate specifically how much of the chemical was transferred to each POTW site.

 1.6 Detailed Description: File Type 4 

File Type 4 contains the basic facility identification information for all facilities, for a specific state, that 

have ever reported to TRI. The file lists the last reporting year the Facility submitted active and valid 

data to the TRI program. Everything from Part I of the Form R or the Form A certification statement 

(except section 2) is listed in this file. 

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 are 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 consistent and up-todate. 

Some of the data that appear in this file are 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 are the result of the reconciliation process.

 Appendix C: 

Loading the “TRI Basic Plus Data Files” into Microsoft (MS) Excel 

To load these files into MS Excel do the following: 

1. Save the TRI Basic Plus Data File to your computer. 

For this example, the file name is AL_1_2008_v08.txt 

The file will be saved to the C:\My_Dir directory 

2. Open Excel 

3. From the menu bar click on “File” then “Open”. 

4. A pop-up box entitled “Open” will appear. At the bottom of the pop-up box, for the field “Files of 

Type” select “All Files (*.*) 

5. Navigate to the directory where you saved the file. 

6. Highlight (click on) the TRI Basic Plus Data File you want to open and then click the “Open” 

button. See the example below where I navigate to the C:\My_Dir directory and select the 

AL_1_2008_v08.txt file to open 
 222 Appendix C

7. A new pop-up window appears entitled “Text Import Wizard – Step 1 of 3”. It asks you to 

“Choose the file type that best describes your data”. This is the first of three pop-up wizard 

windows that will appear. Choose, “Delimited" and click “Next”. See example below. 
 223 Appendix C

8. The next pop-up window asks you to specify the Delimiter. TAB is selected by default. The file 

is Tab delimited so set the delimiter as “Tab” Also, choose “None” as the Text qualifier. Then 

click “Next”. See example below. 
 224 Appendix C

9. Another pop-up window (the third and final window of the wizard) appears asking you to set the 

data format for each column. You can leave most of the columns alone. However, you should 

change the “ZIP”, the "Doc_Ctrl_Num" and the “CAS# / Compound Id” columns to text. To do 

that, scroll horizontally across until you see the “ZIP” column. It’s the 8th column across. Highlight 

the “ZIP” column by clicking on it. It should turn black with white text. Above in the “Column Data 

Format” selection area click on the "Text" radio button. That’s all that’s needed. Now scroll 

across and find the “Doc_Ctrl_Num” and “CAS#/Compound Id” columns. Follow the same 

procedure as stated above to convert them to “Text” columns. When you done, click the "Finish" 

button at the bottom of the pop-up box. Note, if any of the other columns don’t load as you think 

they should, try re-opening the file and change any problematic columns to text. See below for 

an example. 
 225 Appendix C

10. The file should open up in Excel with everything formatted correctly in each column. Technically, 

the file is still an ASCII Text file with TAB delimiters. You should save the file as an Excel (.xls) 

file so that you can re-open it without going through this whole procedure again. To do that, go 

up to the menu bar and click on “File” and “Save As”. Navigate to the directory where you want to 

save the file. At the bottom of the pop-up window, choose “Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls)” 

from the drop down list as the “Save as Type”. Click the “Save” button. See the example below: 

11. The loading of the TRI Basic Plus Data File into Microsoft Excel is complete. 
 226 Appendix D 

Appendix D: 

Loading the “TRI Basic Plus Data Files” into Microsoft (MS) Access 

1. Save the TRI Basic Plus Data File to your computer. 

For this example, the file name is AL_1_2008_v08.txt 

The file will be saved to the C:\My_Dir directory 

2. Open MS Access 

3. An Access database must first exist before you can load the TRI Basic Plus Data File into it. So, 

you either have to create a new database or open an existing database. For instructions on 

creating a new database go to Sep 4 If you’ve already created a database and want to load the 

TRI Basic Plus Data File into it, skip to Step 5. 

4. To create a new database, choose File | New from the file menu. Then choose “Blank database”. 

A pop-up box will appear that will allow you to name the new database, navigate to a directory 

and save it there. Name the new database by typing a name into the “File Name” text box. In the 

example below, I named the database “My_Database.mdb”. Then navigate to a directory and 

save the file by clicking the “Create” button. In the example below, I save the database to 

C:\My_Dir. See the example below. Once you’ve created the new database skip to Step 6. 
 227 Appendix C

5. To open an existing database, choose File | Open from the file menu. A pop-up box will appear 

that will allow you to search for the database you want to open. Navigate to the correct directory 

and then click on the file name of the database you want to open. In the example below, I 

navigate to C:\My_Dir and click on the My_Database.mdb database. Finally, click the “Open” 

button to open the database. See the example below. 

6. Now that you have you’ve created a new database or you have opened an existing database, you 

can actually load the TRI Basic Plus Data File. To do this, click on “File” then “Get External 

Data” then “Import”. 
 228 Appendix C

7. The “Import” window will open. Navigate to the directory where you saved the TRI Basic Plus 

Data File. Remember to go to the bottom of the “Import” window and select “Text Files (*.txt; 

*.csv; *.tab; *.asc)” for the “Files of Type”. The TRI Basic Plus Data File you saved should now 

appear in the window. Click on it. Then, click the “Import” button at the bottom of the screen. 

See below for an example. 
 229 Appendix C

8. An “Import C Wizard” should appear. It initially asks you to choose the format that best describes 

that data file you want to import. Choose “Delimited”. Then click the “Next” button at the bottom 

of the screen. 
 230 Appendix C

9. The next window asks you to choose the delimiter that separates your fields. Choose, “Tab”. 

Also click the check box next to “First Row Contains Fields Names”. Choose “None” as the text 

qualifier. It should be the default. Finally, click the “Next” button at the bottom of the screen. See 

the example below. 
 231 Appendix C

10. The next window asks you where you’d like to store your data. You can choose “In a New Table” 

or “In an Existing Table. For this example, I’m going to store the data into a new table. If you 

load multiple TRI Basic Plus Data Files you many want to initially load the data into a new table, 

and then subsequently load other data files into the same (existing) table. Click “Next” to 

continue. See the example below. 
 232 Appendix C

11. The final window asks you to specify information about each data field you are importing (loading) 

into MS Access. You must change the data type of a few fields get them to load correctly. 

 The fields you must change the data type to “Text” are as follows: 

Facility_Zip_Code 

Mailing_Zip_Code 

All the SIC Codes {Primary SIC, SIC2, SIC3, SIC4, SIC5, SIC6} 

All the NAICS Codes {Primary NAICS, NAICS1, NAICS2, ... NAICS6} 

Doc_Ctrl_Num 

CAS# / Compound Id 

Date_Signed 

Public_Contact_Phone 

 The fields you must change the data type to “Double” are as follows: 

Total Underground Injection 

Total On-Site Land Releases 

To change the data type for each field, simply use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window to 

locate each field (i.e. Facility_Zip_Code) . When it comes into view on the window, click on the 

column. It will turn to black with white text in it. In the top right corner of the pop-up, click on the 

correct data type for the field from the selections in the “Data Type” drop down. Make this adjustment 

for each of the fields listed above. When you’ve addressed each of the fields, click the “Finish” button 

on the bottom of the window. See below for an example. Another way to change the data types of 

the fields is to click the “Advanced” button and follow the instructions. 
 233 Appendix C

12. Microsoft Access recommends that you define a primary key for your table 
 234 Appendix C

14. The data will load into new table that will have the same name as the input file. In this example, 

the new table name is AL_1_2008_v08.. See below for an example. 

14. The loading of the TRI Basic Plus Data File into Microsoft Access is complete.
