Of the chemicals reported, 1 is classified as carcinogen, representing 50% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Machinery sector. The primary release pathway is off-site transfers, accounting for 77% 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.
Grote Co files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 333249 (Machinery). Across 3 years of records spanning 2019–2021, the site has disclosed 2.5K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 2 distinct chemicals, 1 of which (50%) carry a carcinogenic classification.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 1.9K lbs (77.3% of total volume), followed by air releases at 22.7%. Between 2019 and 2021, reported totals decreased by 88% - from 1.5K lbs to 188 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 Grote Co 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.
