Operations span 7 states, and across all sites the company has disclosed a cumulative release total of 260.3M lbs.
The aggregated chemical footprint covers 170 distinct substances, of which 18 carry a carcinogen classification in the EPA Toxics Release Inventory. The heaviest-reporting state by release volume is Arizona (5 facilities, 200.0M lbs), followed by Colorado at 33.1M lbs.

Parent-company aggregation uses the company name as reported by each facility on its annual TRI filing; mergers, divestitures, or reporting variations across subsidiaries can produce inconsistent attribution year over year. All values are self-reported estimates under federal community right-to-know law and are not weighted by toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI does not establish a health risk to the public, it documents the regulatory disclosure record.
