Compliance Briefing — June 2, 2025
EPA TRI reports for reporting year 2024 are due July 1, 2025, leaving four weeks to reconcile PFAS tracking, supplier notifications, and TRI-MEweb certifications.
Executive briefing: Facilities subject to the Toxics Release Inventory must submit Form R/Form A filings for the 2024 calendar year by July 1, 2025. The 2024 cycle retains the expanded PFAS list, requires full accounting of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances without de minimis exemptions, and expects complete e-signature certification in TRI-MEweb.
Key compliance checkpoints
- Data validation. Reconcile production ratios, waste manifests, and abatement data against 2023 filings to catch anomalies.
- Supplier notifications. Issue section 313 notifications to downstream customers for all listed chemicals, including PFAS, by July 1.
- Certification readiness. Confirm responsible officials have active CDX accounts and backup certifiers in case of absence.
Control alignment
- Automation. Integrate laboratory information management systems and emission monitors with TRI calculation workpapers.
- Audit trails. Retain calculation methodologies, assumptions, and QA sign-offs in accordance with 40 CFR 372.10.
- Community engagement. Prepare public fact sheets summarising releases and pollution prevention projects ahead of July disclosures.
Enablement moves
- Lock cross-functional review meetings to finalise facility submissions two weeks before the deadline.
- Update PFAS inventories and procurement controls to reflect any new listed substances for reporting year 2025.
- Document variance analysis for board environmental, social, and governance (ESG) committees.
