Section 5001.7 is added to the California Fire Code to read as follows:
5001.7 HMMP Electronic submissions Each applicant for a permit, a renewed permit, or an amended permit pursuant to this title shall file an electronic submission of all hazardous materials through California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) for the fire chief's approval, to be known as a hazardous materials management plan (HMMP), which shall demonstrate the suitable storage of hazardous materials. The HMMP may be amended at any time with the consent of the fire chief. The HMMP shall be a public record except as otherwise specified. Section 18.23.100 in Title 18 identifies notification requirements of the availability of the HMMP. Approval of the HMMP shall mean that the HMMP has provided adequate information for the purposes of evaluating the permit approval. Such approval shall not be understood to mean that the city has made an independent determination of the adequacy of that which is described in the HMMP electronic submission.
