Reliable Plating is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Chicago, IL, in the fabricated metals sector. It reported 7.5K lbs of releases across 6 chemicals in 2023, and 30.3K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 7,297 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. In Illinois's 951 reporting TRI sites, pounds #1 is not chemical-count #1. Reliable Plating is pounds #298 and chemical-count #111 at 30.3K lbs. Prairie State Generating Co leads reported pounds (37.9M lbs) at 31 chemicals (chemical-count #8). Veolia N.a. Inc. leads chemical count at 141 chemicals (1.9M lbs, pounds #34). Reported volume rose against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Nobert Plating Plant 1; Universal Electric Foundry Inc; Water Saver Faucet Co; Vcna Prairie Llc-Yard 1032. Similar-scale Fabricated Metals peers outside Illinois: Timken Aerospace( Mpb Corp Dba) Lebanon; W S Molnar Co; Silgan Containers Manufacturing Corp; Sharon Coating LLC. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Nitric acid; Nickel And Nickel Compounds; Nickel compounds.
Reliable Plating stamps LIGHT volume with a dominant OFFSITE pathway (72.9% off-site transfers) across 9 chemicals · 2 carcinogen-classified. Cumulative Form-R extract: 30.3K lbs (2019–2023).

Reliable Plating: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution)-led volume
Among the 3,421 Fabricated Metals facilities in this database, Reliable Plating reports the 842nd-largest volume, placing it in the top 24.6% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution) alone is 60.2% of the total. Scale peers outside Illinois include Timken Aerospace( Mpb Corp Dba) Lebanon and W S Molnar Co.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Reliable Plating's pounds in one chemical - here Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution) at 60.2%. Not a toxicity score.
