Our Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Specialists have decades of experience developing Hazardous Materials Business Plans (HMBP). These complex and detailed reports, required by federal, national and local authorities, are designed to protect the public and environment from the adverse effects of improper storage and handling of hazardous materials. Civil penalties for non-compliance can result in fines of up to $5,000 per day plus the cost of remediation and disposal.
HMBPs are required in California for facilities that handle hazardous substances, hazardous waste, and any material that could be damaging to health or to the workplace environment. Generally speaking, facilities that handle the following quantities at any one time during the reporting year must comply; but there may be exemptions from these or some chemical thresholds may be lower.
- 55 gallons of a liquid
- 500 pounds of a solid
- 200 cubic feet of a gas
The HMBP fulfills the fire code requirements designed to provide an inventory of hazardous materials to first responders. It meets federal requirements to file a Tier II Report under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

Toxics Release Inventory Program
The EPCRA also requires certain facilities be regulated under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).
The purpose of the TRI is to provide communities with information about toxic chemical releases and waste management activities and to support informed decision making at all levels by industry, government, non-governmental organizations, and the public.
Owners or operators of facilities that meet the following requirements must file a report form annually by July 1 to remain in compliance.
Keeping up with the everchanging list of toxic chemicals that must be reported can be a challenge, and non-compliance can result in a civil penalty of up to $70,000 per violation per day. The team at Pacific Engineering & Consulting stays up to date on all toxic chemicals covered by the TRI program so you don’t have to.
