Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Basf Corp reports the 2,625th-largest volume (2.2K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Certain glycol ethers alone is 100% 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.
Basf Corp files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325620 (Chemicals). Across 5 years of records spanning 2019–2023, the site has disclosed 2.2K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 1 distinct chemical. Largest chemicals by pounds: Certain glycol ethers.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 2.1K lbs (96.0% of total volume), followed by air releases at 4.0%. Between 2019 and 2023, reported totals decreased by 100% - from 474 lbs to 0 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 Basf Corp has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Northville Industries Corp. - Setauket Terminal for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.
