HB1230

Hawaii HB1230 amends laws to address contamination from underground storage tanks, focusing on jet fuel releases.

Hawaii HB1230 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to enhance the response to suspected or confirmed releases from underground storage tanks, particularly focusing on jet fuel contamination. The bill mandates that when a release is detected, the substances in the tank or tank system must be emptied if it does not pose a greater danger to health or the environment. It also requires the proper closure or repair and testing of the tank or tank system before it can be placed back into operation.
