Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Transportation Equipment facilities in this database, Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC reports the 72nd-largest volume, placing it in the top 4.5% of its sector. This one site accounts for 50.7% of every pound reported in Montgomery.
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.
Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 336111 (Transportation Equipment). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 559.0K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 18 distinct chemicals, 5 of which (28%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Certain glycol ethers; Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Nitric acid; 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 423.3K lbs (75.7% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 24.3%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 16% - from 136.8K lbs to 114.4K lbs. Nearest other TRI reporters: Hager Cos; Hyundai Power Transformers USA; Koch Foods of Alabama; W&w-Afco Steel LLC. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Western Pneumatic Tube Co LLC; Key West Boats Inc. Plant 1 (ridgeville); General Motors LLC Bowling Green Assembly Plant; Boeing Commercial Airplanes - Auburn.
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 Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Hager Cos for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Certain glycol ethers, Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution), Nitric acid, 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene; nearby reporters include Hager Cos. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
