Hawaii SB541 amends water quality laws to address contamination from underground storage tanks.
Hawaii SB541 amends existing water quality laws to ensure the full restoration of the environment, including drinking water and groundwater, following any release of jet fuel from underground storage tanks. The bill mandates that when a release is detected, the substances in the tank or tank system be emptied if it does not pose a greater danger to human health or the environment. It also requires the proper closure of the tank or tank system, or repair and testing before it is placed back into operation.
