Tyler Union Oxford is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Anniston, AL, in the primary metals sector. It reported 9.9K lbs of releases across 3 chemicals in 2023, and 56.5K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 5,853 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. Reported volume fell against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: General Dynamics Ots (anniston); Carfair Composites USA Inc - Anniston; Lee Brass; American Phoenix Inc.. Similar-scale Primary Metals peers outside Alabama: Magnus LLC; Amg Vanadium LLC; Lodge Manufacturing Co; Oldcastle Building Envelope - Tennessee Facility. Other McWane Inc sites in this extract: McWane Ductile-Utah; McWane Ductile-New Jersey; McWane Ductile Ohio; Tyler Union. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Xylene (mixed isomers); Nickel; Lead.
Tyler Union Oxford has reported 56.5K lbs of toxic releases across 3 chemicals to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory, based on annual facility disclosures from 2019 through 2023. Of the chemicals reported, 2 are classified as carcinogens, representing 67% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Primary Metals sector. The primary release pathway is air releases, accounting for 94% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Primary Metals facilities in this database, Tyler Union Oxford reports the 488th-largest volume (56.5K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Xylene (mixed isomers) alone is 96.9% 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.
Tyler Union Oxford files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 331511 (Primary Metals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 56.5K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 3 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (67%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Xylene (mixed isomers); Nickel; Lead.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 53.1K lbs (94.0% of total volume), followed by off-site transfers at 6.0%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 13% - from 11.3K lbs to 9.9K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company McWane Inc alongside McWane Ductile-Utah; McWane Ductile-New Jersey; McWane Ductile Ohio; Tyler Union. Nearest other TRI reporters: General Dynamics Ots (anniston); Carfair Composites USA Inc - Anniston; Lee Brass; American Phoenix Inc.. Similar-scale peers outside Alabama: Magnus LLC; Amg Vanadium LLC; Lodge Manufacturing Co; Oldcastle Building Envelope - Tennessee Facility.
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 Tyler Union Oxford has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open General Dynamics Ots (anniston) 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 Xylene (mixed isomers), Nickel, Lead; nearby reporters include General Dynamics Ots (anniston). "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.
