The City of Hayward, as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), fully regulates through the Hazardous Materials Office underground storage tanks (UST) containing hazardous materials, including petroleum products and used oil. Federal, state, and local laws and regulations have very specific requirements for UST systems.
The requirements cover:
- equipment specifications and installation;
- permitting;
- release prevention;
- release detection;
- corrosion protection;
- inspection and repair;
- record-keeping;
- owner and operator responsibilities;
- designated operator;
- financial responsibility;
- temporary closure; and
- removal and disposal of the tanks.
A separate Permit to Operate Underground Storage Tank(s) is issued by the Hazardous Materials Office to a UST owner or operator after an inspection has verified compliance with all applicable regulations. This permit is valid only for one year and another verification inspection is required for renewal.
For more information, please call Hazardous Materials Office at 510-583-4910
