Sustainable Economic & Environmental Knowledge's (SEEK) Santa Cruz Toxics Release Inventory - The Santa Cruz TRI is an interactive map based resource for our community. It includes US EPA TRI releases and transfers from 1987 through 1995 (soon to be updated with 1996 data). The Santa Cruz TRI also includes an extensive searchable right-to-know database and other resources central to communicating information about toxics. History - Nearly three years ago we (Aran Clary and Michael Meuser) began developing the Santa Cruz TRI . We did this for two reasons. We wanted to communicate information about toxics in our community and we wanted to provide a model that other communities could follow. About a year ago EDF, after seeing our site, contracted with us to do interactive maps of TRI facilities for the entire nation (see EDF Chemical Scorecard above). Our work on the Santa Cruz TRI has also lead to our working on several community-based projects. We host and maintain this website as a community service project.
