UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS & CUPA-HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

City of Glendale - Fire Preventions Bureau - Environmental Management Center - UST Program

Underground storage tanks are regulated by the California Health and Safety Code Chapter 6.7.

All underground storage tank (UST) systems in Glendale must be permitted by the Glendale Fire Department. In addition to the annual CUPA operating permits, a permit is also required to install, remove, modify or test (SB989) an UST system. A UST system includes the tank itself, the associated piping, the monitoring system, and related equipment. Since UST permits are specific to the individual tank, changes to the tank system usually require a permit. Examples of such changes are replacing monitoring equipment, installing overfill protection, or adding secondary containment to the tank or piping.

City of Glendale - Fire Preventions Bureau - Environmental Management Center - Hazardous Materials/CUPA 

The Glendale Fire Department was designated in 1997 by the State of California to be the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for the City of Glendale. We have the responsibility to administer and enforce all six Program Elements of the Unified Program, along with the Industrial Waste Program, as well as, the Uniform Fire Code.

Senate Bill 1082, passed in 1993, created the Unified Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials Management Regulatory Program (Unified Program) which requires the administrative consolidation of six hazardous waste and hazardous materials programs (Program Elements) under one agency, a Certified Unified Program Agency.

The Certified Unified Program Agency is the single local agency designated by the Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency as being responsible for all six Program Elements of the Unified Program within its jurisdiction.

Cal/EPA - Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board - UST Program

The UST Program is carried out exclusively by the Underground Tanks Section. The Section is divided into three Units, closely following the geographical boundary of the watershed in the Regional Board's jurisdiction: The Los Angeles River Watershed Unit, the San Gabriel River Watershed Unit, and the Los Angeles/Ventura Coastal Unit. UST staff daily performance primarily includes pollution source investigation, monitoring, and cleanup for protection of groundwater resources and enforcement actions. 

Cal/EPA - Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board - Remediations (Site Cleanup Program and Brownfields)

The Site Cleanup Program (SCP) deals with site investigation and corrective action involving sites not overseen by the Underground Tank Program and the Well Investigation Program.  The Groundwater Remediation Section - Site Cleanup Unit II was established within the Groundwater Remediation Section of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) in February 2002, as a special task force to manage primarily the increasing numbers of Brownfields/Redevelopment Agency projects under the Site Cleanup Program (formerly SLIC) and Redevelopment Agency (RA) oversight cost recovery program agreements or contracts.

UST sites are addressed by the Board's Underground Storage Tank Program. Many brownfields in the region have actual or suspected contamination from leaking underground storage tanks. Investigation and cleanup of these sites is undertaken under Board oversight and, in some cases, oversight by a local agency. Many UST sites, including brownfields, are eligible for reimbursement of investigation and cleanup costs through the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund.
