Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 3,421 Fabricated Metals facilities in this database, Camcar LLC Spencer Operations reports the 1,429th-largest volume (3.8K lbs). This one site accounts for 100% of every pound reported in Van Buren. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 50.7% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count.
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.
Camcar LLC Spencer Operations files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 332722 (Fabricated Metals).

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.
