TRI only affects the reporting of releases and off-site transfers. Just because a chemical is reported under TRI does not make it illegal. A TRI chemical release may be legal and fully permitted. In fact, most of the chemicals reported under the TRI program are allowable under existing single-media permits (i.e., for air, water, or hazardous solid waste) or are unregulated.
