#8,628 of 25,902 TRI facilities nationwide by total reported releases. Ranking reflects reported pounds, not toxicity or health risk.

Tiger Plant files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 211130 (Natural Gas Processing). Across 2 years of records spanning 2022–2023, the site has disclosed 16.9K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 8 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (25%) carry a carcinogenic classification.

The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 11.6K lbs (68.8% of total volume), followed by air releases at 31.2%. Between 2022 and 2023, reported totals held roughly flat - from 8.5K lbs to 8.4K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Enlink Midstream Operating LP.

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 Tiger Plant 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.
