Each <br />program is regulatory in nature in that they inspect and issue permits for purposes of <br />protecting some aspect of the environment from illegal and harmful discharges. The <br />Hazardous Materials Program is administratively housed in the Alameda County Fire <br />Department while the Environmental Compliance Program is housed in the Public Works <br />Services Department. Both operating units provide regulatory services to an overlapping <br />client base. <br />In January 1997, the City began implementing a new state program aimed at <br />consolidating and unifying hazardous waste regulations, inspections and permitting <br />activities. This new state program, known as Certified Unified Program Agency <br />(CUPA), provides an opportunity to merge these two regulatory programs into a single <br />operating unit. By doing so, the City is able to offer the business community a unified <br />approach to environmental regulation, thus avoiding unnecessary duplication in <br />2515 <br />
