Environmental Health Services
The Unified Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials Management Regulatory Program (Unified Program) was established in 1993 to protect public health and safety, to restore and enhance environmental quality, and sustain economic vitality through an effective and efficient implementation of the Unified Program.

San Mateo County Environmental Health Services was designated by the State Secretary for Environmental Protection as the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) for San Mateo County in 1996.
Compliance is achieved through routine inspections of regulated facilities and investigation of citizen-based complaints and inquiries regarding improper handling and/or disposal of hazardous materials and/or hazardous wastes.
If your facility needs to be regulated for any of the CUPA programs listed below, you need to obtain a permit by registering your facility with San Mateo County Environmental Health Services. Please contact the designated district inspector for assistance with the registration process.
A complete list of active and inactive hazardous waste (CUPA) regulated facilities is now available on the County’s Open Data site. The list is updated monthly. Site-specific information can be found on the State’s Regulated Site Portal. This site includes activities related to hazardous materials and waste, state and federal cleanups, impacted ground and surface waters and toxic materials. It is maintained by the California Environmental Protection Agency, and the information is updated monthly. On this site, you will find information about regulated facilities, chemical storage and open violations. If you would like additional details about a particular facility, please make a public records request.
STATE SURCHARGE INCREASE FOR FY 2023/2024:
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) has increased the state oversight surcharge on all CUPA-regulated facilities from $84 to $94, effective October 13, 2023. The increase includes $10 to cover the increased costs of overseeing the Unified Program. The CERS NextGen portion of the surcharge remains $27 at this time.
The CalARP surcharge, which has only increased once, 15 years ago, has increased from $270 to $370.
The Underground Storage Tank and Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, components of the state surcharge, remain unchanged.
The surcharge increases will be collected for the entire FY23/24. If a business was billed for this fiscal year prior to the increase effective date, the difference will be billed at a later date. Additional information can be found at https://calepa.ca.gov/cupa. Any questions or concerns about the surcharge increase can be directed to CalEPA at cupa@calepa.ca.gov.
