The State of Hawaii Department of Health will hold a public hearing for the proposed amendment of Hawaii Administrative Rules chapter 11-280.1, which regulates underground storage tanks. The proposed changes align default criteria for remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater following a UST system release with the Department’s updated Environmental Action Levels, correct typographical errors, clarify existing requirements, and better align with federal regulations.
The proposed amendments are posted online at health.hawaii.gov/shwb/ust-har and can be viewed at 2827 Waimano Home Rd #100, Pearl City, Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm (except state holidays). Copies will be mailed on request and payment of copy fee and postage; call 808-586-4226 to request.
The public hearing will be at 10am on September 12, 2024 at the State Lab auditorium at 2725 Waimano Home Rd, Pearl City. All interested parties may attend to present relevant information and individual opinion. To request an auxiliary aid or service (e.g., ASL interpreter, large print), call Lauren at 808-586-4226 (voice/TDD) or e-mail lauren.cruz@doh.hawaii.gov as soon as possible to allow adequate time to fulfill your request.
