IMPORTANT UPDATE: The California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) underwent a major update as of January 9, 2012.
Although the State of California has set a 2013 deadline for electronic reporting, we are starting this program immediately so we can more effectively assist businesses with making the change. It will reduce paperwork, automatically notify the CUPA of updates, and eventually allow emergency responders to electronically access hazardous materials inventories and after-hours contact information.The database formerly used was Unidocs. While the Unidocs website will continue to exist, the online reporting portion has been discontinued and has transitioned to CERS. Do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions at 707-565-1152 and ask to speak with a Hazardous Materials Inspector.
Sonoma County Hazardous Materials uploaded our existing regulated business database to the CERS database. As a result, most of our business users will only need to create a log-in, log-in to the CERS website, search for your uploaded business, and request access to that business. For newly regulated businesses a new business file will need to be created from scratch. Log-in to CERS here.

A CERS tour is available through the CERS site for a visual tour on how to log-in, add new facilities, submit information, and more.
When submitting the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) through CERS, there are several other required documents that must be submitted directly to our Hazardous Materials Division. The required supplemental documents are provided below.
Emergency Response/Contingency Plan, Employee Training Plan, and Record Keeping (PDF: 175 kB)
