Design Concepts/marine Concepts: how the 291.3K lbs splits
291.3K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 291.3K lbs 100.0%
Design Concepts/marine Concepts's 291.3K lbs Form-R total is AIR - air releases is 100.0% of the bar. Off-site transfers stay separate from air, water, and land releases. Leading chemical by pounds: Styrene.
Carcinogen-classified pounds vs other reported pounds
Same cumulative TRI total as above, split by EPA/IARC carcinogen classification on each chemical: pounds share, not chemical count. Classification is not a site health-risk score.

Design Concepts/marine Concepts is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Sarasota, FL, in the transportation equipment sector. It reported 46.6K lbs of releases across 1 chemical in 2023, and 291.3K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 2,628 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. In Florida's 659 reporting TRI sites, pounds #1 is not chemical-count #1. Design Concepts/marine Concepts is pounds #66 and chemical-count #160 at 291.3K lbs. Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLC leads reported pounds (116.3M lbs) at 27 chemicals (chemical-count #2). Duke Energy Florida Llc-Crystal River Power Plant leads chemical count at 31 chemicals (2.4M lbs, pounds #15). Reported volume fell against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Yellowfin Yachts LLC; Safran Power USA LLC; Preferred-Bradenton 63RD Rm; Tsm Champ. Similar-scale Transportation Equipment peers outside Florida: Dynax America Corp; Ducommun Aerostructures; Tidewater Boats LLC; Triton Boats. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Styrene; Methyl methacrylate; Dimethyl phthalate.
Design Concepts/marine Concepts stamps MID volume with a dominant AIR pathway (100.0% air releases) across 3 chemicals · 1 carcinogen-classified. Cumulative Form-R extract: 291.3K lbs (2019–2023). All figures are self-reported EPCRA §313 estimates, not measured stack emissions or a health-risk score. Scale peers include Dynax America Corp and Ducommun Aerostructures.

Design Concepts/marine Concepts: Styrene-led volume
Among the 1,603 Transportation Equipment facilities in this database, Design Concepts/marine Concepts reports the 141st-largest volume, placing it in the top 8.8% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Styrene alone is 91.8% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 91.8% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Florida include Dynax America Corp and Ducommun Aerostructures.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Design Concepts/marine Concepts's pounds in one chemical - here Styrene at 91.8%. Not a toxicity score.
