Summary of TRI Reporting Related to Methyl Bromide and Chloropicrin
Formulation

Queries were run in the Electronic - Facility Data Release (e-FDR) query
tool to retrieve 2006 Form R data from the Toxics Release Inventory
(TRI) database in Envirofacts.  Using the e-FDR, 2006 data was gathered
for facilities that reported chloropicrin and methyl bromide formulation
or production at their facilities in prior years (2004 or 2005).  The
results of these queries are shown in Table 1 below.

Based on the preliminary 2006 Form R reports, it appears that about 5
facilities may be formulating methyl bromide-chloropicrin blends in the
United States.  These facilities include: Hendrix & Dail facilities in
North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida; a TriCal facility in California;
and a Niklor Chemical Co. facility in California.  Great Lakes Chemical
(now Chemtura) has also reported a facility in Arkansas as producing
methyl bromide for sales and distribution, but not formulation.  In past
years, however, this facility has reported using both methyl bromide and
chloropicrin for formulation.
