HRS §342L-5
Variances allowed
This section lets the state department change certain state rules if they are stricter than federal hazardous waste rules, but only when the change still protects people and the environment just as well. It does not set any specific procedures or deadlines.

The statute, as written — Variances allowed
Provisions under this chapter deemed more stringent than the federal rules established under Subtitle I of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as added by the federal Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, may be varied by the department, when the variance results in an equivalent degree of human health and environmental protection and does not present a greater danger to human health or the environment.
