It's a bummer but HazardPlanet hasn't been updated since 2002. The EPA has reports available for 2005, and in December through 2007. Another thing to note with HazardPlanet is that it is only for air pollution so garbage dumps are included. Not a bad thing to count but they aren't corporations that can be held accountable for the most part.
