Sector Notebooks
The Sector Notebook series is a unique set of profiles containing information for specific industries and governments. Unlike other resource materials, which are organized by air, water and land pollutants, the Notebooks provide a holistic approach by integrating processes, applicable regulations and other relevant environment information.
The Compliance Assistance Centers are looking for your input on the information and services they provide. Suggest improvements.

The Sector Notebooks Data Refresh presents the latest available Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) release and transfer data and compliance data for most of the Sectors covered in the Notebooks series. Data are not provided for Sectors that are not required to report to TRI or that cannot easily be defined by Standard Industrial Code.
You can access an electronic copy of a notebook by selecting the title listed above. Printed copies of each notebook also are available free of charge from EPA's document warehouse, the National Service Center for Environmental Publications. The full set of notebooks containing more than 35 industries and government operations is also available under EPA Publication Number 310-R05-04SET. Be sure to search by the EXACT title or EPA publication number. Once documents are out of stock they will not appear in the data system and cannot be back ordered
Printing
If you have trouble printing these documents, your printer's memory may be insufficient. If this is the case, printing only small portions of the document at one time may correct the problem. For the best resolution, documents published after 2001 should be printed on Postscript printers, otherwise some illustrations may be blurry.
Share this resource with your colleagues with a fact sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 67K) describing the Sector Notebooks series. A limited number of colorful 24 x 18 inch Know Your Industry posters are also available (see obtaining copies above).
No new notebooks are planned. EPA will consider revising existing volumes or creating new notebooks as priorities change.
