Permit Requirements and Fees
When proposing a new or modified facility it is advisable to contact the CUPA, the fire department having jurisdiction for the fire code implementation, the local water & sewer agencies, the air pollution control district, and the local planning & building authorities as early as possible in the planning process. Each of these organizations may have additional requirements for permits and plans.
How do I apply for CUPA Permits?
Facilities that handle hazardous materials or generate hazardous wastes will require a CUPA permit that includes each applicable CUPA program element. The application process for permits begins with the submission of inventory into the California Environmental Reporting System, also known as CERS. For questions, Contact CERS helpline.
