Hawaii revised its regulations in response to EPA’s update of the federal UST regulations in 2015. EPA published a proposal to approve Hawaii’s UST program on August 14, 2020 and accepted public comments through September 13, 2020. Details of EPA’s approval are available at www.regulations.gov by searching for Docket ID No. EPA-R09-UST-2022-0197.
