Agri-Energy: how the 7.3K lbs splits
7.3K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 7.3K lbs 100.0%
Agri-Energy's 7.3K 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: Acetaldehyde.
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.

Agri-Energy inside Rock's TRI pounds
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Agri-Energy reports the 2,181st-largest volume (7.3K lbs). This one site accounts for 100% of every pound reported in Rock. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Acetaldehyde alone is 61.9% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 61.9% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Minnesota include Frac-Chem - Pleasanton and Sika Corp.
County-dominant here means ≥25% of Rock's reported pounds (7.3K lbs county total). Shares only print when the site reports ≥1,000 lbs.
