Berkshire Concrete Corp is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Pittsfield, MA, in the nonmetallic mineral product sector. It reported 1 lbs of releases across 2 chemicals in 2024, and 8.8K lbs in total across its 2019-2024 reporting years. That ranks 10,076 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Crane Pioneer Mill; Crane & Co. Inc.; O'Connell Oil Co Merrill Road Facility; Pittsfield Generating Co LP. Similar-scale Nonmetallic Mineral Product peers outside Massachusetts: Engis Corp; Glacier Northwest Inc Front Ave Ready-Mix Plant; American Rock Products Hanford; Momentive Performance Materials Quartz Inc. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Lead; Mercury.
Berkshire Concrete Corp has reported 8.8K 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, 1 is classified as carcinogen, representing 33% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Nonmetallic Mineral Product sector. The primary release pathway is land disposal, accounting for 100% 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 3,265 Nonmetallic Mineral Product facilities in this database, Berkshire Concrete Corp reports the 393rd-largest volume, placing it in the top 12% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution) alone is 98.6% 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.
Berkshire Concrete Corp files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 327320 (Nonmetallic Mineral Product). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 8.8K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 3 distinct chemicals, 1 of which (33%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Lead; Mercury.
The dominant release pathway is land disposal at 8.8K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals decreased by 99% - from 214 lbs to 1 lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Petricca Industries Inc. Nearest other TRI reporters: Crane Pioneer Mill; Crane & Co. Inc.; O'Connell Oil Co Merrill Road Facility; Pittsfield Generating Co LP. Similar-scale peers outside Massachusetts: Engis Corp; Glacier Northwest Inc Front Ave Ready-Mix Plant; American Rock Products Hanford; Momentive Performance Materials Quartz Inc.
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 Berkshire Concrete Corp has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Crane Pioneer Mill 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 Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution), Lead, Mercury; nearby reporters include Crane Pioneer Mill. "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.
