San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) is the CUPA for all hazardous materials programs (Business Plans, Underground Storage Tanks, Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tanks, Hazardous Waste Storage and Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment) in this county. Previously, Business Plan information was entered into the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services (OES) electronic database by business owners when OES was the agency responsible for the Business Plan program. On July 1, 2011, the Board of Supervisors transferred the Business Plan program to the EHD. The OES database was not capable of handling the other hazardous materials programs or the state database called the California Environmental Reporting System or CERS. The EHD was able to transfer most of the existing data from the old database to the CERS database but it needs to be reviewed, updated, and certified. What you need to know: 1. The Business Plan must be certified no later than March 1, 2013. This date change was made to accommodate the change in databases, next year the date will be different. 2. The CERS database can be found at http://cers.calepa.ca.gov/where you will need to: a. Create a New Account (or if you created an account in CERS, just log in) by following the instructions. b. Submit a CERS Lead User form (included) for your facility to the EHD unless you are already an approved Lead User. c. Review your CERS data for accuracy and complete what is missing or inaccurate. d. Upload your facility map.
