About RTK NET

RTK NET was started in 1989 in support of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), which mandated public access to the Toxic Release Inventory. It is operated OMB Watch. In the past it was funded by various government agencies through a previous partner, Unison Institute, and foundations.

This search was done 06/13/2004 using the RTK NET (Right-To-Know Network) copy of EPA's TRIS database. RTK NET is run by OMB Watch , 1742 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington DC 20009. helpdesk@rtknet.org (202-234-8494, Mon-Fri 9:00-18:00 ET)
