CUPA
What is CUPA?
CUPA stands for Certified Unified Program Agency programs.
These programs regulate how hazardous waste is stored and used. The programs include the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP), the Hazardous Waste Generator, the Underground Storage Tank, the Above-ground Petroleum Storage Tanks, the Accidental Release Prevention, and the portions of the California Fire Code that address hazardous materials.
The Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for the City of Petaluma's CUPA programs.
