Identification of the hazardous materials used, stored and disposed of in each locality, including chemical/common name of hazardous material, quantity of substance and location, acute/chronic health effects and other potential risks from exposure, proper response procedures, method of disposal and route of transportation. 

2. Disclosure to the lead governmental organization appropriate agencies and the public with proper safeguard for trade secrets and security concerns.

3. Mechanisms for coordination between agencies need to be developed with:

1. clearly defined agency responsibilities; 
2. clearly defined notification procedures; 
3. defined information dissemination  procedures;
4. coordinated data base;
5. single body responsible for  implementation;
6. statement of goals, objectives and policies for siting hazardous materials and hazardous waste facilities and for general management of hazardous materials in the foreseen future;
7. integration with other local land  use planning activities; 
8. consistency with the applicable general plan; periodic review; 
9. full and meaningful involvement of the public, environmental groups, civic associations and hazardous waste treatment or disposal facility staffs;

3. a program for management of small volumes of hazardous materials and waste; and 
4. identification of those facilities that can be expanded to accommodate projected needs, and identification of specific sites for new facilities or general areas for  locating new facilities, and siting criteria  to be used in choosing sites.
