The program consolidates the administration, permit, inspection, and enforcement activities of the following environmental and emergency management programs: Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) Program; Area Plans for Hazardous Materials Emergencies, California Accidental Release Prevention (CaIARP) Program, Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventories (Business Plans), Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) and Hazardous Material Inventory Statements (HMIS) (California Fire Code), Hazardous Waste Generator and Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment (tiered permitting) Programs and Underground Storage Tank Programs. The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health (RCDEH) Hazardous Materials Branch is responsible for overseeing the six hazardous materials programs in the County of Riverside.
