Submission schedule for revised integrated solid waste management plans
HRS §342G-24
in effect342G-24. Submission schedule for revised integrated solid waste management plans
(a) Each state-approved county plan shall be revised and submitted to the office on the following schedule:
(1) The first revised plan shall be submitted to the
office not later than four years after July 1, 1991; and
(2) Subsequent revised plans shall be submitted to
the office once every ten years; provided that an interim status report on the
implementation of a revised plan shall be submitted five years after every
submission of a revised plan to the office.
All revised plans shall be consistent with the
requirements of this chapter.
(b) Not less than one hundred and twenty days
prior to the submission of a revised plan to the office, the county shall
submit a copy of the proposed revision to its county advisory committee for
review and comment. All revisions determined by the county advisory committee
or the office to be substantial revisions shall be subject to:
(1) At least one county public hearing prior to final
submission of the revised plan to the office for review;
(2) Reconsideration and approval by the county
advisory committee; and
(3) Review by the office, where the office shall
approve, conditionally approve, approve specific elements or components, or
disapprove the plan.
In general, any significant changes in policy,
program implementation, the identification of facilities necessary to
accomplish plan goals, or funding mechanisms, shall be considered substantial
revisions. Deadlines for the submittal of substantial revisions shall be
pursuant to the schedule outlined in this section.
(c) If neither the county advisory committee
nor the office deems any changes to be substantial, then those changes shall be
incorporated immediately into the plan. If any member of the public contests a
determination of "lack of substantial revision", that person may
appeal the determination to the director. The decision of the director shall
be final.
(d) The office may require a county to modify
and submit to the office an entire plan or specific elements of a plan at a
date earlier than the schedule outlined in this section if:
(1) The county, in total, within the county and
through access to capacity within another county, has fewer than five years of
available permitted disposal capacity, and in the judgment of the office is not
making sufficient progress toward developing or gaining access to new capacity;
or
(2) The county fails to demonstrate a commitment to
meeting the State's waste reduction goals.
