Toxic Release Inventory GIS Shapefiles Based on Latest 100% Complete 2011 EPA Data Finalized October 2012

Note - Your download will include 2011-tri-field-names.xls. This spreadsheet shows the correspondence between the EPA data field names and those used for the shapefile.

Wondering about the chemicals that are released to the air, water and land where you work, live and play? The Toxic Release Inventory can help answer these questions. Here's just one example of what we have done with them. Exploring the proximity of toxic chemical releases to schools in the U.S. We have also used the TRI for environmental justice research and for the maps we created for EDF's Scorecard project.

Shapefile Description

TRI is a database containing data on disposal or other releases of over 650 toxic chemicals from tens of thousands of U.S. facilities and information about how facilities manage those chemicals through recycling, energy recovery, and treatment. One of TRI's primary purposes is to inform communities about toxic chemical releases to the environment. Check here for more about the Toxic Release Inventory.

We based our shapefiles on the latest 2011 Toxic Release Inventory dataset. The 2011 TRI preliminary dataset is considered 100% complete as of October 31, 2012 and will form the basis of the 2011 TRI National Analysis, Click here for more about the 2011 TRI dataset.

States and territories are in alphabetical order. Please note that in a few instances the required locational information - longitude and latitude - of the facilities were not provided. In these cases, we were not able to map the facility, but we have provided an excel spreadsheet of these few facilities. It is included in the zip file you download for your state. If the shapefile zip file that you download does NOT have this excel spreadsheet then all facilities in that state were mapped.

Save! The cost for each shapefile is $59. If you are purchasing more than a few of these shapefiles, consider purchasing an entire region for $199.

Click next to the shapefile you wish and you will have immediate access to it using our secure merchant account provider, ClickBank/Keynetics or PayPal, whichever you prefer.

A Note About How Your GIS Maps Will Look

The image on this page is an example of how these shapefiles may look when loaded into a GIS program. Your GIS maps may not look exactly like this. Each GIS program is different. Shapefiles themselves are a collection of points, lines or polygons. They have no attributes. It is up to you, the user, to define colors, line width, symbols and other attributes within the limits and capabilities of the GIS programs you are using.

Copyright and Use of Shapefiles

The shapefiles on this page are copyrighted as follows. Copyright © 2012 Michael R. Meuser, All Rights Reserved. You may use these shapefiles in any GIS project or to make maps. You may not create copies of the shapefiles for the use of others whether for personal or commercial use. You may not resell the shapefiles. If you require multiple copies of the same shapefile, please contact Mike at [email protected]. Thank You.

About Quality, Accuracy and Suitability

Specifically, we were able to map 2,176,280 data point records from the latest GNIS data. We were not able to map 69,207 records because they lacked the necessary longitude and latitude. What this means is that we were able to convert 96.82% of the data into shapefiles while we were not able to convert 3.8% of the data. Those records not mapped are available to you in the following formats: Open Office Calc, MS Excel and DBF.

Generally, the geodata and shapefiles found at MapCruzin.com may come from a variety of government, non-governmental and self-reporting private sources. While we try to assure the accuracy of this material, we cannot promise that it is absolutely accurate. We do promise that using the map layer will be fun, entertaining or educational - possibly even frustrating. Beyond this, we make no guarantee as to its suitability for any purpose. We assume no liability or responsibility for errors or inaccuracies. Please understand that you download and use these map layers and data at your own risk.
