How can I access information about expanded community right-to-know programs on the Internet?

Materials accounting data reported by industrial facilities in New Jersey is available at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/enforcement/relprev/crtk/index.html. This site currently includes only “raw” data for calendar years 1995, 1996, and 1997. Users of this information must know how to download large data files and import them into spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel.

NJ DEP recently instituted a new on-line, electronic reporting system intended to speed up access to the data and improve its accuracy. In addition, the agency is in the process of developing a user-friendly website with on-line search capabilities to provide easy access to materials accounting data. Until this website is fully operational, users of the data must evaluate it on their own. For assistance, contact NJ DEP’s Community Right to Know Program at 609-292-6714.

For a step-by-step guide to using New Jersey’s toxic chemical reporting program, see INFORM’s Expanding the Public’s Right to Know: Materials Accounting Data as a Tool for Promoting Environmental Justice and Pollution Prevention.

Massachusetts makes its TURA data available through the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) at http://www.turi.org/turadata/.
