Brune. “Because of this, EPA once again demonizes the very industries that are vital to the Biden Administration’s goal to decarbonize our nation, which requires increasing domestic production of critical and stra- tegic minerals.” Toxic chemical release re- ports are required under the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to- Know Act (EPCRA). Annually, the TRI collects information on certain releases to air, water, and land and ranks them based on total amount “released” by metal mining, manufacturing, electric utilities, and commer- cial hazardous waste facilities across the country. “The EPA should focus on the entities that actually ad- versely impact human health and the environment,” said Brune. “I call on the EPA, once again, to fix the TRI so that it recognizes true impacts and prioritizes efforts to hold bad actors accountable.”
