Funding Source: A charge of$1,491 to the City's Water Fund (account 50685801.79025)
will be required.
Recommended Action: MOTION TO:
Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the attached amendment to the
agreement with the County of Orange for implementation of the unified program element
requirements for the Cal-ARP Program.
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the amendment to the agreement, which would
require a significant amount of Fire Department staff time to manage the Cal-ARP Program.
Analysis: Currently, the Huntington Beach Fire Department administers the Califomia
Accidental Release Prevention Program (Cal-ARP). This program regulates businesses that
use hazardous materials that present a significant environmental hazard if accidentally
released.

MEETING DATE: November 7, 2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 05-014
At this time, City Council approval is requested to transfer the program to the County of
Orange Health Care Agency Environmental Health Division (OCHCA). This request is based
on the significant amount of staff time required to maintain the program within the city. In
addition, the OCHCA maintains significant staff expertise in this area.
The only fiscal impact this change would have for the City is an OCHCA charge of $1,491 to
the Public Works Department Water Division. This fee is charged to all organizations with
accidential release hazards present. The transfer of this program would have no adverse
impacts to the city's business community. It would also provide additional hours for city staff
to concentrate on higher priority projects.
Environmental Status: Not applicable.

Statement of Issue, Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,
Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: Should the City of Huntington Beach approve a Participating Agency
Agreement with the Orange County Health Care Agency to administer specific hazardous
materials programs under the County's Certified Unified Program Agency?
Funding Source: Initial funding and ongoing expenditures as a participating agency to the
county would come from existing revenues currently generated from the City's Hazardous
Materials Disclosure Program. Expenditures projected would be appropriated from existing
revenues including one (1) half-time clerical support person and contracting out for one (1)
Hazardous Materials Specialist. Any ongoing operating expenditures would be funded from
revenues generated from the specific hazardous materials programs projected to be
$168,000_ Additionally, the City of Huntington Beach would provide the necessary
administrative services for the management and administration of personnel for an annual
12% fee. First year administrative revenues are estimated at $10,539.
Recommended Action: By motion, approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a
Participating Agency Agreement with the County's Health Care Agency effective immediately
for the purpose of continuing to administer the hazardous materials specific programs in the
City of Huntington Beach.
Alternative Action(s): Transfer all of the City's existing hazardous materials programs to
Orange County which now has the Certified Unified Program Agency responsibilities. All
revenues currently collected by the City would redistribute to the county as the local
administrating agency for the Hazardous Materials Disclosure Program.
RQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACAN
MEETING DATE: 07/07/97 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 97-007
Analysis: In July 1985, the Orange County Board of Supervisors directed the County
Administrative Office/Hazardous Materials Program to report on the feasibility of adopting a
hazardous materials disclosure ordinance. In Huntington Beach, as with the rest of the
county, hazardous materials incidents were increasing and fire department personnel were
unable to efficiently handle these incidents without appropriate information as to the type,
quantity, use and storage of hazardous materials in the community. In the City, the
hazardous materials situation had proven to be a threat to reasonable public safety and the
safety of emergency personnel.
In September 1985, California cities and counties were mandated by state legislation to
enact Senate Bill 2185 and implement a comprehensive hazardous materials program by
January 1, 1986. Senate Bill 2185 established the basic requirements for the community's
right-to-know program, including immediate reporting of release, business plans for
hazardous materials handlers and the state organization for administration of the program,
establishing fire departments and City agencies as the local administering agencies.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors realizing the increasing number of hazardous
materials incidents and pending legislation unanimously voted in October 1985 to implement
a "model" ordinance in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. In keeping with this
action, the Board of Supervisors requested that all cities use the same comprehensive
hazardous materials ordinance.
The Huntington Beach City Council adopted the comprehensive hazardous materials
disclosure ordinance on December 1985. This ordinance designated the City as the
administering agency for the state-wide hazardous materials program set forth in Senate Bill
2185. Currently, the City's disclosure program requires that all Huntington Beach
businesses in handling hazardous materials in the amounts of 500 pounds or 55 gallons in a
year disclose the types and quantities to the fire department on an annual basis. The City's
disclosure program is fee based and over the past twelve (12) years has been self funded
and very successful in the administration, management and regulation of hazardous
materials.
In 1994, Governor Wilson signed Senate Bill 1082 into law. This law requires certain
hazardous materials regulatory programs, including our current Hazardous Materials
Disclosure Program, to be administered under one (1) agency. This means in each
community there must be a single permit system, single coordinated inspection system and a
single fee system. The intent of the regulation was to combine regulatory activities and
reduce the number of inspections, reduce fees and impacts on the business community.
The six (6) programs consolidated under this legislation were: permitting of hazardous waste
generators, underground storage tank permitting and inspection, aboveground storage tank
spill prevention, hazardous materials disclosure response plans and inventories, acutely

MEETING DATE: 07107/97 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 97-007
hazardous materials risk management prevention programs, Uniform Fire Code hazardous
materials management and inventory programs.
In March, 1995, the City of Huntington Beach entered into an agreement with Costa Mesa,
Fountain Valley and Newport Beach to propose a single Certified Unified Program Agency
operating as a Joint Powers Agency. Benefits of a Joint Powers Agency over a county
agency included local business representation, reduced fees, reduced inspections through
consolidation, local point of contact, regulatory consolidation including the fire code,
technically trained staff, a regional approach and a streamline permit process. The Joint
Powers Agency regional approach was a better way to do business. This joint application
was submitted to the California Environmental Protection Agency on December 8, 1995 for
their consideration and approval.
On December 31, 1995, we were notified that our application was denied due to technical
reasons and overlapping applications with the County's Health Care Agency. We jointly
appealed the denial. On March 27, 1997, we were notified of the final decision that our
application was denied by Secretary Strook of the California Environmental Protection
Agency_
Denial of the Joint Powers application by the state and approval of the county as the unified
agency resulted in each City jointly applying as a participating agency to the county.
Approval as a participating agency is required by the county and permits each City to
continue with their current Hazardous Materials Disclosure Program. The City of Huntington
Beach has discussed the concept of regionalizing it's disclosure program with the cities of
Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley and Newport Beach. Currently, they are not interested.
If the City were to give the Hazardous Materials Disclosure Program to the county, the City
would be at risk of losing regulatory control and management of hazardous materials. Local
business would not have to directly disclose types and quantities of hazardous materials, nor
report immediate releases or provide the fire department with business plans on the storage
use an quantities of hazardous materials
Emergency response teams would not be informed of the use and dangers of hazardous
materials in the community. Basic information on the location, type and health risks involved
with hazardous materials used or stored in the City would not be available to firefighters,
police officers, public works or other personnel responding to the emergency.
Additionally, the City would lose a competitive business advantage with other cities. The
county as an approved state regulatory agency could increase disclosure fees based upon
their overhead and staffing requirements. Having no vested interest in the City of Huntington
Fd97-007 -3- 06125197 8:28 AM
*QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 07/07/97 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FD 97-007
Beach, hazardous materials business fees would be guaranteed to increase driving the local
business operator to look elsewhere to set up shop. As a participating agency to the county,
the City of Huntington Beach is in a better position to control and regulate anticipated fee
increases
Lastly, there is strong evidence to indicate that prior to 1996, while county was the local
administrative agency for the City of Costa Mesa disclosure program, that the county
collected fees, but never performed the required hazardous materials business inspections.
As a result of the states' denial on April 29, 1997, a letter by staff was forwarded to the
county requesting that the fire department continue to manage the Hazardous Materials
Disclosure Program, Risk Management and Prevention Plans, and the Hazardous Materials
Management Plans and Inventory Statements. As a participating agency, the City's
Hazardous Materials Disclosure Program would remain fee based. Over 300 business' in
the City are involved in the program that generates $168,000 annually. Personnel required
to operate the program includes one (1) Hazardous Materials Specialist and one (1) half-time
clerical support. Personnel expenditures would come from revenues currently generated by
the program. Operating costs ($39,959) and the one-time asset expenditure ($42,200)
would be expended from existing revenues.
Currently, the Fire Department administers the fee billing and collection system for the City's
disclosure program. The City's present billing and collection system will be utilized until the
county's electronic single fee billing system is operational. By statute, the county has up to
five (5) years to implement their single fee billing system. Thereafter, once implemented, the
county will perform the hazardous materials disclosure billing service and distribute the
collected fees to the City.
Fundamental to the emergency response efforts and capability of the fire department is
accurate and timely information regarding all chemicals and the quantities within the
community, as well as the ability to intervene as future chemicals and processes are
proposed in Huntington Beach. Therefore, it is recommended that the City of Huntington
Beach continue to retain and provide disclosure services, fire code emergency response
plan services and risk management program plan services as a participating agency under
the Orange County Health Care Agency CUPA.
