Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Becker Specialty Corp reports the 2,198th-largest volume (6.9K lbs).
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.
Becker Specialty Corp files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325510 (Chemicals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 6.9K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 2 distinct chemicals. Largest chemicals by pounds: Xylene (mixed isomers); Certain glycol ethers.

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 Becker Specialty Corp has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Fontana Wood Treating for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
