HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BUSINESS PLANI. Business Activities and Owner/Operator IdentificationThe Facility Information, which includes the Business Activities and Owner/Operator Identificationelements of the HMBP provide notification to the CUPA of the unified programs the facility is subject toand business information details such as name, address, phone numbers and facility contacts. These formsmust be completed and submitted through CERS in the Facility Information section.II. Chemical Inventory and Site MapChemical InventoryThe chemical inventory is a list of the hazardous materials subject to reporting that are stored and handledat the facility. Chemical inventory forms must be completed and submitted through CERS in theHazardous Materials section. A hazardous material is any material that, because of its quantity,concentration, physical or chemical characteristics, poses a significant present or potential hazard tohuman health and safety or to the environment if released into the work place or the environment. Thefollowing hazardous materials must be listed in the inventory:Hazardous Substances or CompoundsIncludes hazardous substances or compounds which are at your establishment at any time in thefollowing quantities (see page 9 for exemptions):a.b.c.55 gallons of a liquid500 pounds of a solid substance200 cubic feet of a compressed gas (at standard temperature and pressure)Hazardous substances include hazardous materials and hazardous waste, including hazardoussubstances stored in underground storage tanks. Hazardous substances include all chemicals orproducts for which a manufacturer or producer is required by law to prepare a Safety Data Sheet(SDS). An SDS is a document containing the following information: chemical composition, fire andexplosive potential, health hazard, reactive characteristics, emergency procedures, special protectionand precautions. An SDS can be obtained from the supplier or manufacturer. A hazardous substancealso includes materials requiring placard warnings during transportation and radioactive materials asreferenced in the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.95.Extremely Hazardous SubstancesYou must report extremely hazardous substances in quantities equal to or greater than the ThresholdPlanning Quantities, as established in the Federal Register, on April 22, 1987 and as amended onFebruary 25, 1988. A list of Extremely Hazardous Substances is available upon request fromthis office or on the EPA website. See 40 CFR part 355.Highly Toxic Compressed GasesHighly Toxic gases are gases with a Threshold Limit Value of 10 ppm or less. You must report anyquantity of all gases with a Threshold Limit Values-Time Weighted Averages (TLV-TWA) orThreshold Limit Value-Short Term Exposure Limit (TLV-STEL) of 10 parts per million (ppm) orless. Review the Safety Data Sheet or contact the distributor of the gases to verify these values. For alist of toxic gases refer to the County of San Diego Disclosure of Hazardous Materials InformationBulletin HM-9243.HM-952 (08/2013)County of San Diego CUPADepartment of Environmental Health-Hazardous Materials Division7

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BUSINESS PLANII. Chemical Inventory and Site Map (continued)Federal Reporting Requirements-Tier II Reporting EPCRAThe Emergency Planning Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) requires industry to disclose chemicalstorage, chemical use, and chemical releases. Local government must develop emergency response plansincorporating information provided by industry. For more information about EPCRA, seehttp://www.epa.gov/oem/content/epcra/index.htm and read Subchapter III, Section 11023.EPCRA requires businesses to report, to state and local agencies, the quantities and type of toxic chemicalsstored at their facilities and releases of chemicals into the environment; the notification for certainchemicals is then published in the Toxic Release Inventory. Businesses that do not comply with EPCRAmay be subject to civil penalties and be required to cover costs of litigation and/or environmentalremediation actions.EPCRA has four provisions important to businesses; most of these are addressed through propersubmittal of an HMBP to the CUPA: hazardous chemical storage reporting requirements, emergencyplanning, emergency planning notification and toxic release inventory reporting.Hazardous Chemical Storage Reporting Requirements-- EPCRA facilities must submit emergency contactsand hazardous chemical inventory annually through CERS. This information includes: hazardouschemicals at or above 10,000 pounds, extremely hazardous substances above 500 pounds or above adefined threshold planning quantity (TPQ) (whichever is less); and chemicals at or above TPQs handledduring the last calendar year.Emergency Planning-- The emergency planning section of the law is designed to help communitiesprepare and respond to emergencies involving hazardous substances. Every community in the UnitedStates must be part of a comprehensive plan. These plans are based on information provided in reportsfrom EPCRA facilities. In San Diego County, the Hazardous Incident Response Team (HIRT) is anintegral part of emergency planning and includes members from the County of San Diego, DEH and Cityof San Diego, Fire and Rescue Department. The information provided by businesses allows HIRT torespond efficiently to chemical emergencies and protect human health and the environment.Emergency Planning Notification-- EPCRA facilities must immediately notify the Local EmergencyPlanning Committee (LEPC) and the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) if there is a releaseinto the environment of a hazardous substance that is equal to or exceeds the minimum reportable quantityset in the regulations. This requirement covers the 356 extremely hazardous substances and more than 700hazardous substances subject to the emergency notification requirements under CERCLA Section 103(a)(40 CFR 302.4). Some chemicals are common to both lists. Initial notification can be made by telephone,radio, or in person. Emergency notification requirements involving transportation incidents can be met bydialing 911. In California, a release or threatened release requires immediate reporting. For moreinformation on spill reporting visit the Office of Emergency Services (OES) website, or see pages 17 and27 of this packet.Toxic Release Inventory Reporting-- Toxic Release Inventory Report must be reported to the FederalEnvironmental Protection Agency by July 1, each year. This requirement applies to facilities thatmanufacture, process, or otherwise use a listed toxic chemical above the TPQ, and have 10 or moreemployees.More information on EPCRA can be found at: htm.HM-952 (08/2013)County of San Diego CUPADepartment of Environmental Health-Hazardous Materials Division8

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BUSINESS PLANII. Chemical Inventory and Site Map (continued)How to comply with HMBP, Chemical Inventory and EPCRA Tier II reporting requirementsIn order to avoid multiple reports to the various federal, state and local agencies, the California Health andSafety Code (HSC) requires businesses to provide the CUPA an inventory of their chemicals as part of theHMBP through CERS.The Business Activities page, the Business Owner/Operator Identification page, the Hazardous MaterialsInventory/Chemical descriptions and site map indicating the locations of hazardous substances must besubmitted initially and re-certified annually through submittals in CERS. Update and resubmit a businessplan within 30 days when there are changes to your facility as described on page 3.Compliance with EPCRA Tier II reporting requirements occurs when a business has a valid UnifiedProgram Facility Permit (UPFP) and maintains a current submittal of the HMBP, including the chemicalinventory and site map to the CUPA.State and Local Exemptions to HMBP ReportingThe following items are exempt from reporting if below conditions are met: Propane for heating, cooking, or cooling in quantities up to and including 1000 gallonsNew Lubricating Oils: up to 55 gallons of any grade of oil, not to exceed 275 gallons total volumecombinedCarbon Dioxide for beverages: Cryogenic 3500 cubic feet. Non-cryogenic 6000 cubic feetPortable Breathing Air & Oxygen for emergency response by government agencies including fireMedical Gases (Oxygen, Nitrogen and Nitrous Oxide) in a medical office 1000 cubic feetCompressed Gases used in Closed Fire Suppression SystemsCompressed Gases used in Closed Refrigeration Systems (except Anhydrous Ammonia)Solids or liquid that are classified as hazardous solely as an irritant or sensitizer: 5000 poundsInert, non-cryogenic gasses (Nitrogen, Helium, Argon, Xenon, Krypton, Neon and Non-enriched air)that are classified as hazardous only for release of pressure and as a simple asphyxiate: 1000cubic feetOil filled electrical equipment that is not contiguous to an electrical facility if the aggregatecapacity does not exceed 1,320 gallons.Hazardous Materials contained solely in consumer products for direct distribution and use by thegeneral public. These materials are typically packaged and available to the public in a retail outletin small packages (e.g., supermarket, nursery or hardware store).Additional Local Reporting Requirement-- Carcinogens and Reproductive ToxinsBusinesses that are subject to HMBP requirements that also handle carcinogens and reproductive toxins inamounts below 55 gallons, 500 pounds or 200 cubic feet of gas at standard temperature and pressure,are not required to report these carcinogens and reproductive toxins as a chemical inventory item. Instead,they must submit to the HMD, a list of each of these materials handled during the previous year.
