   Each company subject to the Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) is required to file an annual Toxics Use Report that identifies:

   • Every TURA-listed chemicals the company manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses above applicable thresholds;
   • All production processes and products that use one or more listed chemicals; and
   • The amount of each listed chemical generated as byproduct (wasted), shipped in product, and released to the environment.

   A company subject to TURA must also pay an Annual Toxics Use Fee, based the number of people it employs and the number of listed chemicals it manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses above applicable thresholds.

   TUR reports must be filed online or postmarked by July 1 after the reporting year. TUR fees must be paid in full by September 1 of the filing year.

   You may be subject to MassDEP enforcement action if you do not comply. There is a statutory late fee of $1,000 for failing to submit one or more reports or to pay the fee on time.
