Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP)
The State of California enacted legislation that requires counties
to regulate hazardous materials and wastes at business locations for emergency response purposes. As a result, the Board of
Supervisors designated the Environmental Health Department as the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). All facilities
in Modoc County that use or store hazardous materials (defined as either virgin or waste materials) in any quantity are required
by California Health & Safety Code to report such use or storage to the CUPA. The amount of detail required to be reported
depends on wheather or not a facility is subject to State Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) reporting requirements.
Facilities subject to HMBP reporting requirements must complete and submit to the health department a HMBP and pay an annual
fee of $74.00. Depending upon the nature of storage/handling of hazardous materials at the facility, additional information
and fees may be required to be submitted as appendices to the HMBP.
