HI SB2407

Requires underground storage tank permit applications to include a specific response plan with protocols for worst-case scenarios, including immediate spill notification and containment, removal of tank contents, identification of available funds for remediation, and other director-approved requirements.

Mandates a public hearing in the affected county before the director approves an application for issuance or renewal of a permit for underground storage tanks with capacity greater than 100,000 gallons.

Prohibits the director from issuing permits for underground storage tanks exceeding 100,000 gallons capacity to applicants not in good standing, defined as compliance with state contractual obligations, environmental remediation laws, government-issued permits, and financial obligations.

Permits remain valid for terms not exceeding five years and may be renewed if the director determines the permit is protective of human health and the environment.

Establishes that applicants for permit modification or renewal are not in violation during the pendency of their application if they comply with their previously granted permit.
