Chemical Management  - 313 Form R The EPOCH 313 Form R / Mass Balance Module can be used as a stand-alone tool to prepare the Form R for the EPA, or as the centerpiece of a fully integrated EHS information system. Releases from several other modules can be imported into this module and a process by process or facility wide mass balance prepared. Sample Reports Sample Screens Threshold Exceedance Determination Form R Total Releases Printed Form R Mass Balance Release Calculation Picklist Section 8 Recycling / Recovery Features Calculate emissions using any combination of the following three methods: Import - Import releases from the other EPOCH Modules. Mass Balance - Import or enter the known releases and let the software solve for the unknown. Manual - Directly enter the total pounds or gallons released from each facility or process EPA approved for electronic submission or use the software provided by the EPA to print the Form R. Calculate discharges to water, POTW and underground injection using monitoring data, engineering calculations, user-defined release factors, and mass balances Calculate stack or point emissions using monitoring data, engineering calculations, and mass balances. Calculates releases to land and materials sent off-site using monitoring data or mass balances Provides a single repository for documenting assumptions used in all release calculations. Complies with Part II, Section 8. Perform release calculations based on mixtures and generates emission estimates by components. Compare releases from similar processes or facilities. What-If Analysis - Generate estimates using different methods and compare the results to determine the best reporting scenario. Stores results for multiple years to allow trend analysis for each chemical reported Benefits No need to enter data once for preparing DMRs, Manifests, etc. and again for the Form R. One entry satisfies all reports. Import data each month and determine year-to-date those chemicals that have exceeded the thresholds. Also determine year-to-date Form R releases. Supports agency inspections by making all release calculation assumptions readily available. Supports waste minimization efforts by targeting processes for emission reduction. Interfaces with EPA-supplied software for actual Form R printing. Allows corporate employees to monitor all facilities for consistent calculations (increase comfort level). Helps insure accuracy by comparing present year releases against previous year's results. Integration The 313 Form R / Mass Balance Module is integrated with several other EPOCH Modules, including: Chemical Inventory - Import each usage transaction and have the Form R Module calculate the chemicals that have exceeded the thresholds for amount manufactured, processed or otherwise used. Manifest - Material sent offsite or land disposed are automatically converted to pounds and imported to the Form R Module LDAR - The total pounds released are calculated based on the PPM reading for each valve, pump seal, compressor, etc. The emissions are speciated and posted to the Form R Module as a Fugitive Emission Release. Wastewater - The average PPM, flow and number of days are imported into the 313 Form R Module. Users can import releases for POTW, NPDES and UIC sources. Release Events - The total amount released is posted to the Form R as total pounds accidentally released.
