Haw. Code R. § 11-280.1-72 - Assessing the site at closure or change-in-service
(a) Before
permanent closure or a change-in-service is completed, owners and operators
must measure for the presence of a release where contamination is most likely
to be present at the UST site. In selecting sample types, sample locations, and
measurement methods, owners and operators must consider the method of closure,
the nature of the stored substance, the types of backfill and surrounding soil,
the depth and flow of groundwater, and other factors appropriate for
identifying the presence of a release. The requirements of this section are
satisfied if one of the external release detection methods allowed in section
11-280.1-43(5) and
(6) is operating in accordance with the
requirements in section
11-280.1-43 at the time of
closure, and indicates no release has occurred.
(b) If contaminated soils, contaminated
groundwater, or free product as a liquid or vapor is discovered under
subsection (a), or by any other manner, owners and operators must begin release
response action in accordance with subchapter
6.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
