County staff introduce ordinance to repeal outdated underground‑storage chapter after state rules supersede local code
Summary
County staff introduced an ordinance to repeal Solano County Code Chapter 13.5 (underground storage tanks and hazardous substances), citing state regulatory changes and a CUPA audit recommendation; the board voted to introduce the ordinance and return it for adoption in two weeks.
County staff introduced an ordinance to repeal Chapter 13.5 of the Solano County Code governing underground storage of hazardous substances, saying the chapter has been largely superseded by state regulations and a recent CUPA audit recommended repeal. A staff subject‑matter expert, Lori Mazzola, told supervisors the state’s Title 23 contains robust regulation that makes the county chapter redundant.
The board had no public comment on the item. A motion to introduce the ordinance carried by unanimous vote, and staff said the item will return for formal adoption on the timeline provided by the clerk.
