Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Evonik Industries reports the 1,693rd-largest volume (21.7K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any particle size) alone is 70.6% 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.
Evonik Industries files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 325180 (Chemicals). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 21.7K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 2 distinct chemicals. Largest chemicals by pounds: Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any particle size); Chlorine.
The dominant release pathway is air releases at 25.0K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals decreased by 30% - from 4.6K lbs to 3.2K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Evonik Corp alongside Evonik Corp Tippecanoe Laboratories; Evonik Corp; Evonik Corp; Evonik Corp. Nearest other TRI reporters: Mpm Silicones LLC; Safety-Kleen Systems Cohoes (coh); Clemente Latham Latham Plant; Norlite LLC. Similar-scale peers outside New York: Linde Advanced Material Technologies Inc; Wiley Cos; Lhb Industries; Resinall Corp.
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 Evonik Industries has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Mpm Silicones LLC 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 Hydrochloric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any particle size), Chlorine; nearby reporters include Mpm Silicones LLC. "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.
