SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />Local Agencies and Regulations <br />City of San Leandro Environmental Services Section <br />The State of California transferred administration and enforcement of major environmental programs to <br />local agencies in 1996 in accordance with Senate Bill 1082 (Health and Safety Code 25404). The local <br />agencies under this legislation are known as Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs). The purpose of <br />this legislation was to simplify environmental reporting by streamlining the number of regulatory agency <br />contacts a facility must maintain, and by requiring the use of more standardized forms and reports. <br />The City of San Leandro Environmental Services Section (ESS) is the CUPA for San Leandro. As such, this <br />section regulates the storage, use, treatment, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes within the <br />City. State CUPA programs for which the Environmental Services Division is responsible include the: <br />• Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) program; <br />• Hazardous waste generator program; <br />• California Accidental Release Program (CalARP); <br />• Above ground petroleum storage tank program; <br />• Underground tank program; and <br />■ Tiered Permitting for on-site hazardous waste treatment. <br />In addition, the ESS is responsible for: <br />• Enforcement of the hazardous materials requirements of the Uniform Fire Code; <br />• Response to citizen's complaints; and <br />• Technical, investigative, and site cleanup services for hazardous materials incidents. <br />City of San Leandro General Plan 2002 (Updated 201 1) <br />The City of San Leandro's General Plan was adopted by the San Leandro City Council in May 2002. The <br />Plan was updated in 2011 with the certification of the city's new Housing Element. Chapter 6 of the San <br />Leandro General Plan addresses environmental hazards in the City, including wildfire, hazardous materials, <br />and emergency preparedness. Chapter 6 also establishes goals, policies, and actions, which are listed in <br />Table 4.7-1, to reduce identified hazards to acceptable levels. <br />City of San Leandro Hazard Mitigation Master Plan <br />The City of San Leandro's Hazard Mitigation Master Plan (Hazard Plan) is intended to prepare the <br />community for potential life threatening emergencies, such as fire, flood, and earthquakes. The Hazard <br />Plan is essentially a "road map" for action involving hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness. In <br />general, the Hazard Plan includes guiding principles, such as community education, establishing early <br />warning systems for notifying the community of emergencies, and continuing training and updating of <br />emergency preparedness. <br />P LACE WORKS 4.7-7 <br />
