Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP)

Why HMBPs are Required:
If you were issued a hazardous material by the Fire Department (CUPA) you need an HMBP submitted every year. If your facility handles hazardous materials in quantities exceeding the following thresholds, California law requires you to maintain a Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP):

• 55 gallons of liquid hazardous materials (equivalent to one drum)
• 200 cubic feet of compressed gas (equivalent to one large cylinder)
• 500 pounds of solid hazardous materials

What is CERS?
The California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) is a web-based platform mandated by Assembly Bill 2286. It facilitates the electronic exchange of required Unified Program information between businesses, local governments, and the U.S. EPA. Regulated businesses are obligated to electronically report and submit mandatory Unified Program information through CERS.

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)

If your facility stores oil or oil-based products, you may be required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to maintain a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan to help prevent environmental damage from accidental spills.

Does Your Facility Need an SPCC Plan?

Your site is likely subject to SPCC regulations if you store:

1,320 gallons or more of petroleum product in Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs)

42,000 gallons or more of petroleum product in Underground Storage Tanks (USTs)

If your facility meets these thresholds, federal law requires you to implement an SPCC Plan tailored to your site’s specific operations and risks.

At MABs Environmental, we provide expert SPCC services to help businesses comply with federal spill prevention regulations. Our offerings include:

Tier I, Tier II, and Professional Engineer (PE) certification plan preparation and reviews and updates of existing SPCC plans to ensure ongoing compliance
