Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 530 Chemical Wholesalers facilities in this database, Harcros Chemicals Inc reports the 148th-largest volume (9.7K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Chlorine alone is 100% of the total.
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.
Harcros Chemicals Inc files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 424690 (Chemical Wholesalers). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 9.7K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 1 distinct chemical. Largest chemicals by pounds: Chlorine.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 7.7K lbs (79.6% of total volume), followed by land disposal at 20.4%.

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 Harcros Chemicals Inc has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Occidental Chemical Corp for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
