Site Mitigation

The Site Mitigation Program Includes:

• The permitting and inspection of well installations and destructions at all local, state and federal assessment and cleanup sites.
• The EHD Local Voluntary Cleanup Oversight Program provides oversight for cleanups of minor spills and releases pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 5412 and 101480. When a release of waste occurs and remedial action is required, the responsible party for the release may request the EHD to supervise the remedial actions through a Remedial Action Agreement.

Typical cleanup sites under this program include sites where remedial action is required after a waste is spilled or released or where wastes were found through a Phase II investigation.

To initiate an agreement, the Responsible Party completes the Remedial Action Agreement and the Master File Record Form and submits to the EHD along with the initial fee of $810.00 (minimum 5-hours of time at the hourly rate of $162.00/hour) for EHD staff oversight activities. A Monitoring Well/Soil Boring permit application and appropriate fee will also be required for all well and boring activities. Additional time spent on the project over the initial payment will be billed to the Responsible Party at the current hourly rate.
