Senate Bill 1082, which became law in 1993, established a <br />process for cities and counties to become certified by California's Secretary for Environmental Protection <br />as Certified Unified Program Agencies. In 1997, the City of San Leandro became one of only a few <br />California cities to be certified as a CUPA. <br />As a CUPA, the City's Environmental Services Section consolidates, coordinates, and brings local <br />consistency to the following six state-mandated programs: <br />· Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) <br />· Hazardous Waste Generator Program <br />· California Accidental Release Program (CalARP) <br />· Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank (APSA) Program <br />· Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program <br />· Tiered Permitting for on-site hazardous waste treatment <br />The CUPA program requires permits for: <br />· operating underground storage tanks <br />· installing and modifying underground storage tanks <br />· removing underground storage tanks <br />· treating hazardous waste on site <br />· installing aboveground storage tanks <br />Pretreatment ProgramPretreatment ProgramPretreatment ProgramPretreatment Program. USEPA Region 9 authorized the City’s pretreatment program on March 25, 1982. <br />The City implemented a Pollutant Minimization (PM) Program January 1, 1993. The City has a well- <br />established pretreatment program and effective mechanisms for identifying new and changed <br />businesses and has a comprehensive permit program with a consistently high rate of compliance. <br />Pretreatment general program activities focus on pollutants of concern established by USEPA, such as <br />heavy metals and toxic organics. Targeted program activities address regional and local concerns, which <br />are driven by trends in pollutant loadings to the POTW and actual or anticipated changes to NPDES <br />permit limitations and other regulatory drivers such as TMDLs, Site Specific Objectives, and pollutants <br />identified as adversely impacting receiving waters or the POTW. <br /> <br />25
