Hawaii HB1230 addresses the release of jet fuel from underground storage tanks, requiring cleanup and restoration of the environment.

Hawaii HB1230 mandates specific actions following the release of jet fuel from underground storage tanks. It requires the emptying of the tank if it does not pose a greater danger to health or the environment. The tank must then be properly closed, repaired, and tested before being returned to operation. Owners must notify the public about the release and the response plan. The bill presumes any detected jet fuel in the environment results from the release. The purpose is to fully restore the environment, including drinking water and groundwater, after any jet fuel release.
