SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION GUIDE The following are guidelines to help building permit applicants and business license applicants determine whether they need to comply with the hazardous materials reporting requirements of Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code. Chapter 6.95 requires businesses which handle hazardous materials, at the California Threshold Planning Quantities, to file a "Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP)" with the Administering Agency. In San Joaquin County, the Office of Emergency Services has been appointed to the Local Administering Agency. Businesses that handle Acutely Hazardous Materials will also be required to file an Acutely Hazardous Materials Registration Form and possibly complete a Risk Management and Prevention Program ( RMPP). GUIDELINES: 1. Will the owner or future building applicant handle a hazardous material or a mixture containing a hazardous material in a quantity equal to or greater than 55 gallons, 500 pounds, or 200 cubic feet at any one time? IF "YES", THEN OWNER OR FUTURE OCCUPANT MUST MEET OR BE MEETING REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 6.95, SECTION 25505 OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. 2. Will the owner or future building occupant handle an Acutely Hazardous Material listed in the attached Appendix? IF "YES", THEN THE OWNER OR FUTURE OCCUPANT MUST MEET OR OF MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 6.95, SECTIONS 25533 AND 25534 PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. 3. Will the proposed building or modified facility be within 1,000 feet of the outer boundary of a school (grades K -12) and have Acutely Hazardous Materials? IF "YES" TO BOTH CONDnIONS, THEN THE OWNER MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 6.95, SECTIONS 25533 AND 25534 PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT. IF FUTURE QQQUPANT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME: The fact that the building for which the permit Is being applied does not have a tenant at this time, does not relieve the owner or his authorized agent from the responsibility under California law. The owner or authorized agent must Indicate whether future occupants will need to comply with the reporting requirements for the handling of any hazardous materials. If at a later date the applicant determines that a tenant will be handling hazardous materials, the applicant must Inform the Office of Emergency Services. Should you have any questions, please call the Office of Emergency Services at (209) 468-3969. ( 2 )
