Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In 1991 the Board adopted Division II of Title 20 of Mendocino County Code through Ordinance No. 3785. Included in Division II is Section 20.536.055 which allows Permits for Approval of Emergency Work. In cases of a verified emergency, temporary emergency authorization to proceed with remedial measures may be given by the Director or his or her designee until such time as a Coastal Development Permit application is filed. The Director shall report in writing to the Board of Supervisors at each meeting the emergency permits applied for or issued since the last report, with a description of the nature of the emergency and the work involved. The report of the Director shall be informational only. The decision to issue an emergency permit is solely at the discretion of the Director. Notice of emergency permits shall be provided by phone or letter to the California Coastal Commission within three (3) days, following issuance of the emergency permit.
Summary of Request:
The Emergency Permit is being requested in response to a mandate under Health and Safety Code Chapter 6.7, Section 25292.05. The State Water Resources Control Board requires that all single-walled underground storage tanks (USTs) and non-exempt single-walled piping (SWTs) be permanently closed by December 31, 2025. This statewide requirement allows no exceptions and necessitates immediate action to meet the compliance deadline.
The emergency permit was issued on August 25, 2025, and becomes null and void at the end of sixty (60) days. Prior to expiration of this Emergency Permit, the applicant shall submit a standard Coastal Development Permit application for the work authorized by the permit.
