Program Elements - Kern County Public Health Services
A Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP) is an electronic compilation of detailed information on the:
Hazardous materials inventory stored and/or generated
Emergency response/contingency plan for procedures in the event of a release or threatened release of a hazardous material/waste
Employee training plan, which includes hazardous communications/SDS, annual training refresher courses, and safety procedures in the event of a release or threatened release of a hazardous material/waste, etc.
The intent of the HMBP is to provide basic information necessary for use by first responders in order to protect public health, safety, and the environment from a release or threatened release of a hazardous material/waste. The HMBP also satisfies the federal Tier II reporting requirements and the state Community Right-to-Know Act. The material threshold for this program is 55 gallons of a liquid, 500 pounds of a solid, 200 cubic feet of a compressed gas, and/or the applicable state/federal threshold quantity for an extremely hazardous material.

Hazardous Waste Generator Requirements Summary Chart
This chart is designed to give inspectors a fairly detailed comparison of the requirements as they apply to Large Quantity Generators (LQGs), Small Quantity Generators (SQGs). The table is not comprehensive. Information regarding acutely and extremely hazardous wastes are not addressed. Information regarding requirements for onsite treatment facilities is not addressed. For the purpose of consistency in application the following terms are used throughout this document as noted below:
Small Quantity Generator/SQG: A facility that generates less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of hazardous waste in any month. Hazardous waste is to be counted regardless of whether it is RCRA regulated or non-RCRA regulated.
Large Quantity Generator/LQG: A facility that generates greater than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of hazardous waste in any month. Hazardous waste is to be counted regardless of whether it is RCRA regulated or non-RCRA regulated.
RCRA LQG: A facility that generates greater than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) or more of RCRA non-acute regulated hazardous waste in any month; or a business that generates or accumulates more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of RCRA acute hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is to be counted only if it is RCRA regulated. If the facility, in any month, accumulates at any time, more than 100 kg (220 lbs) of spill cleanup material contaminated with RCRA acute hazardous waste. This group/category is a subset of LQGs.

*A facility that produces less than 100 kg (220 lbs) per month for all hazardous waste generated onsite; or less than 1 kg of acutely or extremely hazardous waste per month accumulation start date starts the day the 100 kg is accumulated. The generator has 180 days or 270 days if the distance to the treatment or disposal facility is more than 200 miles. Any quantity of acutely or extremely hazardous waste must be removed in 90 days. (Title 22, CCR §66262.34(d)). There is no accumulation time limit for generators of not more than 100 kg/month that are not using the satellite accumulation area and who have not yet accumulated 100 kg (220 lb) of hazardous waste or 1 quart of extremely or acutely hazardous waste. HSC 25123.3(c). DTSC Fact Sheet January 2002: Accumulating Hazardous Wastes at Generator Sites
*Generators that generate no more than 100 kg exclusively of silver-only hazardous waste must comply only with the Federal Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) requirements in 40 CFR §261.5 instead of the CCR Title 22 requirements. If quantities are exceeded, silver-only facility is no longer regulated as a Federal CESQG but is subject to all applicable parts of 40 CFR 262.34 (generally, SQG rules). [§261.5(f)(2) and (g)(2)]
(1) Laboratory Satellite Accumulation differs from “regular” satellite accumulation in that a laboratory setting (see definition in 25200.3.1), the “area” can be the entire room, the waste needs only to be stored as close as practical to the point of generation, and there must be at least one person responsible for the area who has been trained in the management of the waste. All other rules are similar or identical to “regular” satellite accumulation.
(2) Additional guidance available (http://www.unidocs.org/hazmat/hazardous-waste/un-047.pdf)
(3) Wastes that are non-RCRA or RCRA-exempt may be shipped out of the state of California to facilities that are not permitted by either California or US EPA. In these instances waste manifests must still be signed by the receiving facility and the TSDF copy must still be submitted to DTSC. If the receiving facility does not return the TSDF copy of the manifest, the generator should make a photocopy of the final signed copy returned to them and submit to DTSC. (HSC 25160(a)(3))
(4) SB 14 Waste Minimization program applies only to generators of more than 12,000 kg of waste (or > 12 kg EH waste) in a year. LQG facilities that may not be required to participate in the SB 14 program are those that are LQGs due to exceeding acutely hazardous waste quantities (>1 qt/month) or those that are LQGs due to episodic activity. The following waste streams are not counted: motor vehicle fluids (oil), lead acid batteries, HHW, UW lamps, lab scale research waste, and site clean-up waste. (List is not all-inclusive; please refer to §67100.2 for full list.
What is Tiered Treatment of Hazardous Waste?
Treatment of hazardous waste after it has been generated to reduce or eliminate the hazardous characteristics is regulated under a Tiered Treatment permit. The three tiers handled by the CUPA are Permit by Rule (PBR), Conditional Authorization (CA), and Conditional Exempt, which includes Conditional Exemption Small Quantity Treatment (CESQT) and Conditional Exempt Specified Waste streams (CESW). All other tiers are handled by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). You can access the DTSC Online Tiered Permitting Flowchart to help determine the correct permit tier for your waste stream and treatment processes.
Tiered Permitting Overview
Tiered Permitting Eligibility Determination
After determining the correct tier, the appropriate forms are to be submitted to this Division on an annual basis. These documents are available for download and must be uploaded onto CERS.
Conditionally Exempt Specified Wastestreams (CESW) Form
Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients are considered to be household hazardous waste (HHW). These items contain potentially hazardous ingredients require special care when you dispose of them.
Improper disposal of HHW can include pouring them down the drain, on the ground, into storm sewers, or in some cases putting them out with the trash. The dangers of such disposal methods might not be immediately obvious, but improper disposal of these wastes can pollute the environment and pose a threat to human health. Many communities in the United States offer a variety of options for conveniently and safely managing HHW. No more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds of waste will be accepted at one time. Some products that can be considered HHW are:
Cosmetics, Personal hygiene products
Application for New Construction/Modification Permit (see matrix below)
Application for Permanent Closure/Removal Permit*
Brine System Repair
Flex Hose Replacement (Sump/UDC)
Line Leak Detector
No change in the device type or design
Monitoring Console Install or Replacement (hardware)
Monitoring Console Programming (software)
If monitoring plan is changed – case by case
Software change or reprogramming
Repair/Upgrade UST
Sensor Replacement (Sumps, ATGs)
Change in sensor type or design
No change in sensor type or design
Spill Buckets (Direct Burial)
Spill Buckets (Fill Sump)
UDC Replacement
What is the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA)?
Any facility with an aggregate storage capacity of 1,320 gallons of petroleum or greater must prepare and implement a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan in accordance with federal law, 40 CFR 112. For a full list of exemptions, requirements, and applicability, visit the Office of the State Fire Marshall website or refer to the “Legal” column.
WHICH PLAN DO I NEED TO IMPLEMENT?
The APSA program divides its facilities into qualified and non-qualified facilities. The qualified facilities are able to be broken down into one of two tiers and are able to self-certify a plan based off of templates provided by US EPA. Non-qualified facilities are required to have an SPCC plan certified by a professional engineer and re-certified every five years.
Tier I SPCC Plan:
10,000 US gallons or less aggregate above-ground petroleum storage capacity; and
Within any 12-month period, three years prior to the Plan certification date, or since becoming subject to the SPCC rule if in operation for less than three years, there cannot have been:
A single discharge of oil to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines exceeding 1,000 US gallons; or
Two discharges of oil to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines each exceeding 42 US gallons within any 12-month period
No individual above-ground petroleum container greater than 5,000 US gallons
Tier II SPCC Plan:
10,000 US gallons or less aggregate aboveground petroleum storage capacity; and
Has individual aboveground petroleum containers greater than 5,000 US gallons; or
Owner or operator eligible for Tier I qualified facility status but decides not to take the option or chooses to develop a “hybrid” plan
Non-qualified Facilities:
More than 10,000 US gallons aggregate aboveground petroleum storage capacity; or
Owner/operator eligible for qualified facility status, but decides not to
CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT FROM APSA REQUIREMENTS*
FARMS, DAIRIES, NURSERIES, LOGGING SITES, CONSTRUCTION SITES
No AST Exceeds 20,000 Gallons and the cumulative storage capacity of the tank facility does not exceed 100,000 Gallons
Failure to comply with the following will result in loss of Exempt status
Conduct daily visual inspections of any storage tank storing a petroleum product
Allow the CUPA to conduct a periodic inspection of the tank facility
Install a secondary containment for each tank or group of tanks (if required by the CUPA)
* While farms, nurseries, logging sites, or construction sites are conditionally exempt from the requirements to prepare an SPCC Plan under APSA, these facilities are not exempt from federal SPCC requirements enforced by US EPA.
OIL PRODUCTION FACILTIES
If a tank or other facility is used for a purpose other than oil and gas production, such as a diesel tank in a maintenance yard to service trucks that are used on the lease, then it is generally not a facility attendant to oil and gas production and therefore is not under the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources’ (DOGGR) jurisdiction.
