Note: 23,000,000 million pounds in Brazoria County and 5,970,000 pounds not initially reported to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission under the Toxic Release Inventory Program are included in these counties' total. These extra pounds were not included due to company misunderstanding over whether ammonia sulfate had been delisted in 1993.
