Delano regulates hazardous materials under DC §20.10.110, requiring businesses storing more than 55 gallons of liquid, 300 pounds of solid, or 200 cubic feet of compressed gas of any hazardous material to file a Business Plan with Kern County Environmental Health and the Fire Department.
For acutely hazardous materials (AHM) in amounts above the same thresholds (except 500 lb solid), a Risk Management and Prevention Program is required. Pesticide applications are also subject to California Department of Pesticide Regulation rules and Kern County Ag Commissioner oversight, which is significant given the surrounding agricultural setting. The unlawful discharge of hazardous wastes into air, land, or water is prohibited (§20.10.110.4).
Business plan violations carry administrative fines; unlawful discharge can trigger state and federal CERCLA liability.
