    3b: Transfers to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) (RY1987 - RY2010)

    This webpage contains the most recent versions of all TRI data files; facilities may revise previous years' TRI submissions if necessary, and any such changes will be reflected in these files. For this reason, data contained in these files may differ from data used to construct the TRI National Analysis.},
