HRS §128D-23
No permit needed for certain on-site cleanups
This section says you don't need a state or county permit for cleanup work that happens entirely on the site, as long as the cleanup follows this chapter, or for coastal water spills if it follows this chapter, the National Contingency Plan, or a coordinator's direction. It only covers permits, not other rules.
