Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 36.7M lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 12 distinct chemicals, 5 of which (42%) carry a carcinogenic classification.
The dominant release pathway is land disposal at 33.3M lbs (90.6% of total volume), followed by water discharges at 7.0%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 41% - from 8.6M lbs to 5.1M lbs.
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 Advancion Corp has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements.

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.
Release quantities are self-reported by the facility and may represent estimates rather than exact measurements. "Total releases" includes releases to air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal. Quantities shown here are aggregated across all available reporting years.
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.
