The focus of our program is the prevention of hazardous materials discharges that may adversely affect community safety or the environment.

In addition, the HMCU enforces the California Integrated Waste Management Board requirements such as the Waste Tire Management Program. The HMCU also enforces local ordinances regulating hazardous materials storage (SMC Title 20, Chapter 20) and the safe use and storage of toxic gases (SMC Title 16, Chapter 16.53).
A consolidated Fire Prevention and Hazardous Materials Permit is issued to a Sunnyvale business after submittal of an approved application (HMBP or Registration Form), a field inspection to confirm compliance, and payment of applicable fees.
