The City of Hayward is a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). It has been certified by the State to implement the unified hazardous materials and hazardous waste management program in its jurisdiction. The Hazardous Materials Office administers the City’s entire Unified Program.
The Unified Program consolidates, coordinates, and makes consistent the administrative requirements, permits, inspections, and enforcement activities for the following environmental and emergency management programs:
- Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventories (Hazardous Materials Business Plans - HMBP);
- California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program;
- Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program;

All CUPAs are required to implement a consolidated permit with a single-fee system to reduce the burden of obtaining multiple permits on regulated businesses.
