In cooperation with the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), NCASI has for several years published the Handbook of Substance-Specific Information for National Pollutant Release Inventory Reporting (NPRI Handbook). This handbook provides forest products companies with a resource for determining whether reporting of certain substances under the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) program is necessary for a Canadian facility, and for assistance in preparing NPRI reports when required.

At the end of March, NCASI will publish the update to NPRI Handbook for reporting year 2007. The Handbook will be available on CD-ROM, in both English and French, in two volumes: one for Wood Products Facilities and one for Pulp and Paper Mills. For the 2007 reporting year, both NPRI Handbooks will be updated.

The Handbook will be distributed to all FPAC and NCASI member companies in Canada. Additionally, to encourage its use throughout the entire Canadian forest products industry, NCASI is offering to license the use of the Handbook to companies that are not presently affiliated with FPAC or NCASI.

To license the NPRI Handbook, use the subscription fee calculation spreadsheet (available below for download) to determine your fee. Then, send the subscription form along with either payment of the fee amount or a request for an invoice. After payment is received, NCASI will forward the appropriate number of copies of the CD-ROM to the subscriber.
