Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA)

The Enforcement and Emergency Response Program (EERP) administers the technical implementation of the state's Unified Program - a consolidation of six environmental programs at the local level.  EERP conducts triennial reviews of Unified Program agencies to ensure their programs are consistent statewide, conform to standards, and deliver quality environmental protection at the local level.  EERP oversees the hazardous waste generator and onsite waste treatment surveillance and enforcement program carried out by local Unified Programs.

EERP was certified, effective January 1, 2005, to be the CUPA for Imperial and Trinity Counties.

The State Oversight and Enforcement Branch (SOEB) recognizes the need for technical assistance from DTSC in a timely and predictable fashion, and wishes to minimize the disruption any future reorganization may cause.  SOEB/EERP has established a toll-free number for all CUPAs to use in order to reach a liaison.  If you are a CUPA and have a question, please call our toll-free number at 1-888-988-7058.
