Except for specifically restricted or prohibited highways, other highways may be used that provide necessary access for pickup or delivery consistent with safe vehicle operation. Highways that provide reasonable access to fuel, repairs, rest, or food facilities that are designed to and intended for commercial vehicle parking may be used, when that access is safe and when the facility is within one-half mile of the points of exit and/or entry to the designated route. Restricted or prohibited routes may only be used when no other lawful alternative exists. The CHP also publishes a list of restricted or prohibited highways (Veh. Code, § 31304).

In addition to regulating the transport of hazardous materials, the USDOT provides grants to local agencies for preparation and training relating to hazardous materials incidents through its Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Program. The administrator of this program in the State of California is the Office of Emergency Services (OES). Another responsible agency at the federal level is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). FMCSA maintains a Hazmat Route Registry that describes the highway routes that must be utilized for the transport of certain types of hazardous materials. In California, this is monitored and regulated by the CHP and the California FMCSA Field Office. These routes are listed in Table 10.3 and depicted in Figure 10.4.

The use and storage of these materials is governed by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA) and by local fire departments. Disposal of these materials is then regulated by the DTSC. Sites Contaminated by Hazardous Materials Numerous sites throughout the SACOG region have become contaminated over the years by the land uses on those sites and by improper disposal of hazardous waste, both legally and illegally. These wastes have affected groundwater and soils throughout the area.
