In San Joaquin County, a new business must submit a Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP) for review and approval by the Office of Emergency Services before the business opens or starts operations. 3) Based upon available information, a custom fertilizer application business would be required to prepare and submit both a Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP), and a Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP).
