Hawaii SB110 seeks to enhance water protection by amending definitions and regulatory scope. It defines "isolated wetland" and "wetland," clarifying that "state waters" now include wetlands and isolated wetlands. The bill requires the director of health to determine whether wetlands in the state are isolated or connected to other navigable waters. It also mandates delineation of all wetlands within the state and prohibits discharging pollutants into state waters without compliance or a permit.
