2006 data is the first year that the most recent burden reduction policy changes went into effect. Companies can now choose to limit the amount of information they report using the Form A if they have 5,000 pounds or less of chemical waste (or 2,000 pounds if 2,000 pounds or less is released directly into the environment). The old threshold was 500 pounds. For more information, click here.
