Certified
Unified Program Agency (CUPA)
The
Environmental Health Division was designated by the State
Secretary for Environmental Protection on January 1, 1997 as the CUPA for the County of Orange. The CUPA is the local
administrative agency that coordinates six programs regulating
hazardous materials and hazardous wastes in Orange County.
- Hazardous
Waste
- Underground
Storage Tanks (UST)
- Aboveground
Storage Tanks (AST)
- Hazardous
Materials Disclosure (HMD)
- Business
Plan
- California
Accidental Release Program (CalARP)
County and
City Fire Agencies within Orange County have joined the CUPA, as
Participating Agencies, to form a partnership with the County’s
Unified Program. In most cities, Environmental Health
administers the Hazardous Waste, Underground Storage Tank and
Aboveground Storage Tank programs while the Fire Agencies
administer the other three elements listed above. Contact the
Environmental Health Division for more information.
The CUPA
will offer businesses several benefits, such as a single point
of contact for permitting, billing and inspections; uniformity
and consistency in enforcement of regulations; and a single fee
system incorporating all of the fees from the six programs. For
more information, please call (714) 433-6240.
