Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations Title 13 of the C.C.R., Division 2 governs the operations of the California Highway Patrol. Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14 of the C.C.R. Division 1.5 establishes regulations for CAL FIRE, in areas where CAL FIRE is responsible for wildfire protection. Development in areas under CAL FIRE’s responsibility must comply with the regulations in Division 1.5. Additionally, Title 14 sets forth the minimum standards for emergency access, fuel modification, setback, signage, and water supply. Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations The State of California passed legislation, Title 19 of the C.C.R. Division 2, creating Cal EMA and authorizing it to prepare a Standard Emergency Management System (SEMS) program, which sets forth measures by which a jurisdiction should handle emergency disasters. Noncompliance with SEMS could result in the State withholding disaster relief from the noncomplying jurisdiction in the event of an emergency disaster. Cal EMA serves as the lead state agency for emergency management in the state. Cal EMA coordinates the state response to major emergencies in support of local government. The primary responsibility for emergency management resides with local government. Local jurisdictions first use their own resources and, as they are exhausted, obtain more from neighboring cities and special districts, the county in which they are located, and other counties throughout the state through the statewide mutual aid system. In California, the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) provides the mechanism by which local government requests assistance. Cal EMA serves as the lead agency for mobilizing the state’s resources and obtaining federal resources; it also maintains oversight of the state’s mutual aid system. During an emergency, Cal EMA coordinates the state’s response efforts. It is also responsible for collecting, verifying, and evaluating information about the emergency, facilitating communication with local government, and providing affected jurisdictions with additional resources when necessary. Cal EMA may task state agencies to perform work outside their dayto-day and statutory responsibilities. Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations DTSC regulates hazardous waste under the authority of the federal RCRA and the California Health and Safety Code. California has enacted legislation pertaining to the management of hazardous waste that is equivalent to, and in some cases more stringent than, corresponding federal laws and regulations. DTSC, a department of CalEPA, is responsible for the enforcement and implementation of hazardous waste laws and regulations. The state hazardous waste regulations are codified in Title 22 of the C.C.R. Title 22 addresses hazardous materials and wastes. The Hazardous Waste Control Act of 1972 (Health & Saf. Code, § 25100 et seq.) is the seminal hazardous waste control law in California.

The Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventory Law of 1986 (Health & Saf. Code, § 25500 et seq.) governs hazardous materials handling, reporting requirements, and local agency oversight programs. Additionally, Section 65962.5 of the Government Code directs the DTSC to compile a list of all hazardous-waste facilities subject to corrective action pursuant to Section 25187.5 of the Health and Safety Code. Transportation of hazardous materials/wastes is regulated by Caltrans within the State of California (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 26). The CHP and Caltrans enforce both federal and state regulations and respond with the County Fire Department to hazardous materials transportation emergencies. Emergency responses are coordinated as necessary between federal, state, and local governmental authorities and private persons through a state-mandated Emergency Response Plan. Uniform Fire Code The Uniform Fire Code (U. Fire Code) contains regulations relating to construction, maintenance, and use of buildings. Topics addressed in the code include fire department access, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, fire and explosion hazards safety, hazardous materials storage and use, provisions intended to protect and assist fire responders, industrial processes, and many other general and specialized fire-safety requirements for new and existing buildings and the surrounding premises. Local Airport Land Use Commission and Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans SACOG is the designated ALUC for Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties, with the exception of the UC Davis airport which is self-regulated by the University of California. The designated ALUC for El Dorado County is the El Dorado County Transportation Commission. The designated ALUC for Placer County is the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency. The ALUC is an agency that is required by state law in counties where there is an airport operated for the benefit of the general public. The purpose of the ALUC is to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the orderly development of airports and the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public’s exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses. The ALUC is responsible for developing and maintaining ALUCPs for areas around each airport. City and county zoning and planning is required to conform to the ALUCP unless the city or county governing body specifically overrides the ALUCP by supermajority vote. Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plans Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plans are planning documents used to guide future development of a jurisdiction’s bicycle and pedestrian facilities. At a minimum these plans usually contain an inventory of existing facilities, a discussion of the plan’s goals, recommendations for new projects, and an implementation plan.
