Haw. Code R. § 13-171-24 - Revocation of water use permit
After a hearing, the commission may suspend or revoke a permit for:
(1) Any materially false
statement in the application for the water use permit, a modification of a
permit term, or any materially false statement in any report or statement of
fact required of the user pursuant to this part.
(2) Any willful violation of any condition of
the permit.
(3) Any violation of
any provision of this chapter.
(4)
Partial or total nonuse, for reasons other than conservation, of the water
allowed by the permit for a period of four continuous years or more. The
commission may permanently revoke the permit as to the amount of water not in
use unless the user can prove that the user's nonuse was due to extreme
hardship caused by factors beyond the user's control. The commission and the
permittee may enter into a written agreement that, for reasons satisfactory to
the commission, any period of nonuse may not apply towards the four-year
revocation period. Any period of nonuse which is caused by a declaration of
water shortage pursuant to section 13-171-44 shall not apply towards the
four-year period of forfeiture. The commission may cancel a permit, permanently
and in whole, with the written consent of the permittee.
