Hawaii Air Pollution Control Act
Hawaii · Air Pollution Control · §§ 342B-1 to 342B-73 · 55 sections
Overview
The act establishes a statewide framework for controlling air pollution, prohibiting the release of air contaminants except as authorized and vesting a state environmental agency and its director with the authority to regulate emission sources. Its central mechanism is a permitting system: sources must apply for, obtain, and renew permits carrying minimum conditions and recordkeeping and monitoring obligations, subject to fees that support a dedicated fund, with variances, exemptions, and specialized treatment for certain source categories. The act also provides for public participation, complaints and administrative hearings, judicial review of agency decisions, and enforcement through inspections, emergency orders, injunctive relief, and civil, administrative, and criminal penalties.
