HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Hazardous Materials Business Plans (HMBP)
HMBPs are required for any business that has hazardous materials and/or hazardous waste on site in quantities that meet or exceed any of the following thresholds at any one time during the year:
- 55 gal. of liquid hazardous materials (one drum)
- 200ft³. of compressed gas (one large cylinder)
- 500 lbs. of solid hazardous materials
If a facility exceeds these thresholds, they must prepare:
- Hazardous Materials Inventory
- Site Map
- Contingency Plan
This information is uploaded online to the California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) and evaluated and resubmitted on an annual basis. Frog Environmental offers short term or extended term contracts to handle the HMBP.

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC)
Does your facility store oil in an Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) with a capacity at or greater than 1320 gallons or an Underground Storage Tank (UST) with capacity at or greater than 42,000 gallons? If you meet these criteria, your site is likely required to establish an SPCC to prepare for an accidental spill.
Oil-based products requiring an SPCC include:
- Petroleum
- Machine coolants (water-soluble synthetic cutting fluids used in CNC machines, mills, lathes etc.
- Fuel oil
- Sludge
- Oil refuse
- Fats
- Greases or oils of animal, fish or marine mammal origin
- Vegetable oils
- Synthetic oils
- Mineral oils
Facilities with less than 10,000 gallons of cumulative storage capacity must complete a “Tier I” plan (self-certified). Facilities in excess of 10,000 gallons must complete a “Tier II” plan which must also be reviewed and certified by a Professional Engineer (PE). SPCC plans are evaluated and resubmitted every five years. Frog Environmental will develop a unique plan tailored to your facility or review an existing plan to ensure it is still compliant.
