Hawaii enjoys some of the best air quality in the nation. However, we do have air pollution as does any metropolitan area, and so the Department of Health (DOH) works diligently to regulate and monitor air pollution sources.
The Clean Air Branch (CAB) conducts engineering analysis and permitting, performs monitoring and investigations, and enforces the federal and state air pollution control laws and regulations.
Clean Air Branch permit application forms, and the instructions for completing them, are available from this site.
Anyone engaged in an agricultural operation and burns green waste must obtain a permit from the Department of Health before any burning is permitted. The main requirements for agricultural burning, permits and fees appear in HAR Sections 11-60.1-51 to -58, and Section 11-60.1-121.
