The Environmental Health
Division was designated as the Certified Unified Program Agency
(CUPA) for the County of Orange by the State Secretary for
Environmental Protection on January 1, 1997. The CUPA is the
local administrative agency that coordinates the regulation of
hazardous materials and hazardous wastes in Orange County
through the following six programs:
County and City Fire Agencies within Orange County have joined
in partnership with the CUPA as Participating Agencies (PAs). In
most Orange County cities, the Environmental Health Division
administers the Hazardous Waste, Underground Storage Tank,
Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank, and CalARP programs while
the Fire Agencies administer the other two elements listed
above.
The CUPA provides its regulated businesses several convenient
benefits such as a single point of contact for permitting,
billing and inspections; uniformity and consistency in
enforcement of regulations; and a single fee system
incorporating all of the applicable fees from the six CUPA
programs. For more information, please call (714) 433-6240.
