Nutrien files across 5 states, a regional parent portfolio rather than a single-state discloser. Releases are facility-concentrated: Actagro LLC accounts for most of Nutrien's disclosed pounds, so peer comparisons should weight that site, not an even portfolio average.
Parent aggregation for Nutrien follows facility-reported names. Compare the named neighbors (Clean Harbors Inc; Waste Management Inc) before treating rank as a hazard score; TRI stays self-reported and unweighted by toxicity.
