Haw. Code R. § 11-265-15 - 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 all
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,
or 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 11-265-174, 11-265-193, 11-265-195,
11-265-226, 11-265-260, 11-265-278, 11-265-304, 11-265-347, 11-265-377,
11-265-403, 11-265-1033, 11-265-1052, 11-265-1053, 11-265-1058, and 11-265-1084 through 11-265-1090, 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.
