Getting Started With Your Electronic Submittal In CERS
The Hazardous Materials Business Plan forms have been integrated into the CERS and will need to be electronically completed or uploaded. Please visit the CERS page for more details regarding electronic submissions. Information that must be uploaded into the CERS data base includes:
- Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP)
- Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP)/Hazardous Materials Inventory Statements (HMIS)
- Hazardous Waste Generator (HWG)
- California Accidental Release Program (CalARP)
- Underground Storage Tanks (UST)
- Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA)
The HMBP will serve to better prepare emergency response personnel for handling emergencies which could occur at your facility. The section below contains the necessary information for the creation of a HMBP for your facility which will be uploaded into California Environmental Reporting System (CERS). When completed, your HMBP will become a valuable tool, aiding you and your employees to manage emergencies at your facility. New facilities can also view the presentation and the CERS Guidance Document to learn how to create your business in CERS. For help with CERS, please call our office at 209.525.6700, during work hours, and ask for a district inspector.
