Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Primary Metals facilities in this database, Cullman Casting Corp reports the 686th-largest volume (14.8K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Styrene alone is 99.2% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 99.2% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.

TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Cullman Casting Corp has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Rehau Automotive LLC for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
