Application for an Underground Storage Tank Permit

The goal of the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program is to protect human health and the environment by preventing releases of petroleum and hazardous substances from UST systems. The release of these regulated substances into the environment threatens soil and groundwater resources.

To help prevent contamination caused by leaking tanks, tank owners and operators must comply with the Hawaii Administrative Rules Title 11, Chapter 281 entitled Underground Storage Tanks.  One of the objectives of the UST program are to ensure that new UST systems are properly designed and installed, has release detection, spill and overfill  protection equipment, corrosion protection and a  method of financial assurance.  

An Installation and Operational Permit must be obtained prior to the installation and operation of a new regulated UST.  The installation permit expires in 1 year from the date of issue.  The operational permit expires in 5 years from the date of issuance.   The Certification of Underground Storage Tank Instalation form is to be submitted to the Department of Health 30 days after installation.
