The goal of the California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) program is to reduce risks of regulated substances through the evaluation of hazards and consequences and the development of Risk Management Plans (RMPs) and Prevention Programs.  

Your business or facility needs a CalARP permit if:

• Your facility (referred to as a “stationary source”) handles specific chemicals (termed “regulated substances”) above threshold quantities.

CalARP Requirements:

• Submit facility information in CERS (California Environmental Reporting System);
• Prepare, submit, and implement a Risk Management Plan (RMP);

AND

• Pay a fee to the CUPA

Facilities that have submitted a RMP previously are required to submit a revised RMP no later than five years after the initial RMP submission.

Annual permitting fees to the City of El Segundo CUPA are due by June 30 as part of the consolidated permit program.
