Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) Planning Requirements

About TURA Planning

A Toxics Use Reduction (TUR) Plan is a document that provides both economic and technical evaluations of the toxics use reduction opportunities available to a company, and identifies those methods, if any, that the company intends to implement.

About Resource Conservation (RC) Planning

Facilities that report chemical use under the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) have a new planning option available to them: Resource Conservation (RC) Planning. RC planning gives companies the opportunity to benefit the environment and save money by identifying ways to reduce energy, water, solid waste, or non-TURA regulated chemicals.

About Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

Facilities that have an Environmental Management System (EMS) and report chemical use under the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) now have the opportunity to integrate toxics use reduction planning into their EMS so they no longer have to prepare separate TUR plans.
