California Environmental Reporting System

 

Businesses Must Report Electronically to CERS or a Local Reporting Portal
All businesses must now submit Unified Program-related information to CERS instead of on paper forms. Alternatively, some CUPAs have developed local web portals that businesses may choose to use to meet this requirement. More information...

Are you a Multi-Facility/Multi-Jurisdictional Business?
If your business/organization operates multiple CUPA-regulated facilities located in multiple CUPAs, CERS now supports creation of a single corporate identity that allows consolidated management of ALL of your facilities by one or more authorized users. To establish a multi-facility business and consolidate any existing CERS facilities under your business, you need to submit documentation to Cal/EPA.

What is CERS?
The California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) is a statewide web-based system to support California Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs) and Participating Agencies (PAs) in electronically collecting and reporting various hazardous materials-related data as mandated by the California Health and Safety Code and new 2008 legislation (AB 2286). Under oversight by Cal/EPA, CUPAs implement Unified Program mandates that streamline and provide consistent regulatory activities.
