Haw. Code R. § 11-264-15 - General inspection requirements
(a) The owner or
operator must inspect his facility for malfunctions and deterioration, operator
errors, and discharges which may be causing --- or may lead to --- (1) release
of hazardous waste constituents to the environment or (2) a threat to human
health. The owner or operator must conduct these inspections often enough to
identify problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the
environment.
(b)
(1) The owner or operator must develop and
follow a written schedule for inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and
emergency equipment, security devices, and operating and structural equipment
(such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting, or
responding to environmental or human health hazards.
(2) He or she must keep this schedule at the
facility.
(3) The schedule must
identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or deterioration) which are
to be looked for during the inspection (e.g., inoperative sump pump, leaking
fitting, eroding dike, etc.).
(4)
The frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the schedule. However,
the frequency should be based on the rate of deterioration of the equipment and
the probability of an environmental or human health incident if the
deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error goes undetected between
inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading and unloading areas, must
be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum, the inspection schedule must
include the items and frequencies called for in sections 11-264-174,
11-264-193, 11-264-195, 11-264-226, 11-264-254, 11-264-278, 11-264-303,
11-264-347, 11-264-602, 11-264-1033, 11-264-1052, 11-264-1053, 11-264-1058, and
11-264-1083 through 11-264-1089, where applicable.
(c) The owner or operator must remedy any
deterioration or malfunction of equipment or structures which the inspection
reveals on a schedule which ensures that the problem does not lead to an
environmental or human health hazard. Where a hazard is imminent or has already
occurred, remedial action must be taken immediately.
(d) The owner or operator must record
inspections in an inspection log or summary. He must keep these records for at
least three years from the date of inspection. At a minimum, these records must
include the date and time of the inspection, the name of the inspector, a
notation of the observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or
other remedial actions.
