C. Above Ground Storace Reouirements I Less attention has been paid to the storage of hazardous substances in above ground tanks and containers. Thus, County Ordinances do not include standards for this equally threat- ening situation. The CHWMP shall do the following: A) revise Division 3 of the Uniform Environmental Health Code to estab- lish above ground storage standards for hazardous materials; B) establish a system for identifying all handlers of hazard- ous substances; c) review periodically each business regis- tered in the hazardous material handler program to verify the inventory on file.
