Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA)
The Hazardous Materials Division has the responsibility
for the County's Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) programs.
These programs include the Hazardous Materials Business Plan(HMBP),
the Hazardous Waste Generator, the Underground Tank storage, the
Accidental Release Prevention and the portions of the Uniform Fire
Code which address hazardous materials. Inspections of businesses
in the County which are included in any of these programs, are conducted
on a routine basis. Funding for this Division is provided through
fees charged to the businesses which are regulated by them. There
are approximately 1300 businesses covered by one or more of the
CUPA programs. Information regarding hazardous materials in your
community can be obtained from this Division. You may obtain an
 Underground Tank
Permit Application Form to be used for installing new tanks,
pulling old tanks, and repairing or testing tank systems. State
reporting forms can be downloaded from http://www.unidocs.org/catalog.html.
In addition, you can download a current version of the Hazardous
Materials Business Plan in Adobe PDF. Once you've completed
the information, you can submit it to our office by mail, fax or
by e-mail (click on Contact Us here or
at the link at the top of the page).
One responsibility the CUPA has is sharing information with the
public on facilities within their community that handle hazardous
materials. The CRTK
form can be used to submit a request for such information. You
will need to identify a site address or address range to obtain
this information.
There are three other CUPA agencies in Sonoma County
which regulate facilities in their communities: Santa Rosa Fire
Department, Petaluma Fire Department and Healdsburg Fire Department,
which regulates facilities within Sebastopol and Healdsburg through
a Joint Powers Agreement. If you have questions regarding facilities
within any of those cities, call the appropriate fire department.
