*This list focuses exclusively on facilities that manufacture, process, or formulate D4 with associated potential wastewater discharges. For 

purposes of this list, process means facilities that react D4 to create other substances. Formulate means those facilities that mix/blend D4 to 

create products. Facilities that only import or store D4, or only perform R&D, are not included. No facility information is included for 

Milliken (formerly SiVance, LLC).
