Peter,

 Hopefully this response will address your question. Federal Facilities
have been required to report releases and transfers of hazardous
materials subject to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) since 1994. If you
have any questions about the reported data, the TRI expert in my office
is Will Garvey who may be reached via e-mail at:
"garvey.will@epamail.epa.gov".

 Some background information on this reporting requirement: On
August 3, 1993, President Clinton signed executive order 12856, "Federal
Compliance with Right-To-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention
Requirements", the primary objectives of this E.O. are for Federal
Facilities to:

* Develop pollution prevention plans to reduce toxic releases by 50%;

* Collect and report date on the quantity of hazardous materials stored,
 used, and released at the facility;

* Ensure public access to use and release information

You may call the TRI hotline @ 1-800-424-9346 for web sites of data
available to the public.
