Toxic Chemical Inventory Release (TRI) Reporting
University of Wisconsin System campuses are specifically included in the EPCRA section 313 TRI regulations by Wisconsin state statute.
TRI reporting applies to chemicals listed in EPCRA section 313. There are approximately 650 chemicals and chemical categories, and they can be referenced at 40 CFR 372.65 or in the EPA's List of Lists. As a subset of these chemicals, the EPA has also established lower reporting thresholds for certain chemicals that are Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT).
The Office of Safety and Loss Prevention has created a 
guide to EPCRA which is intended to provide University of Wisconsin System campuses with information on how the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) affects campuses in Wisconsin. For more information on TRI reporting, refer to the " Toxic Chemical Inventory Release (TRI) Reporting" section in the guide.
