HRS §48E-3

Financing does not waive other legal requirements

Getting financing for a pollution control project under this chapter does not excuse anyone involved from following all state and county laws, including zoning, building permits, and health codes. They must obey these rules just as if they had paid for the project themselves.

The statute, as written — Compliance with state and local law

The financing of any pollution control project under this chapter shall not relieve any project party or other user of such project from compliance with all laws, ordinances, and rules and regulations of the State and county or any departments or boards thereof with respect to the construction, operation, and maintenance of pollution control projects, compliance with master plans or zoning laws or regulations, obtaining of building permits, compliance with building and health codes and other laws, ordinances, or rules and regulations of similar nature pertaining to the project, and such laws shall be applicable to such project party or such other user to the same extent they would be if the costs of the pollution control project were directly financed by the project party.
