Client: A small repackaging business located in Arkansas with under 50 employees.
Challenge: The client had unknowingly fallen out of compliance with EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements, failing to submit required reports for the past three years.
The issue came to light by an EPA official that reached out to the Employer, prompting immediate concern about potential penalties, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage.
SE Consulting EHS Approach: Reconstructed historical data for all three non-reporting years through material packaging evaluation and chemical use documentation.
Served as the liaison between the client and EPA Region 6, ensuring full transparency and cooperative communication.
Submitted accurate Form R reports through the TRI-MEweb system, clearly documenting the historical reporting oversight and immediate corrective action taken.
Resulted:
- TRI noncompliance was fully resolved within 90 days.
- No fines, penalties, or formal enforcement actions were issued due to proactive correction, strong documentation, and EPA cooperation.
- The client was restored to full compliance and now benefits from a sustainable reporting process.
