Although the EMD does not provide online guidance, the EMD web site lists contact phone numbers to use in obtaining guidance and information from each branch, as shown below.
Environmental Management Division (808-586-4304)
Clean Air Branch (808-586-4200)
The Clean Air Branch is responsible for the implementation of a statewide air pollution control program through services which include engineering analysis and permitting, monitoring and investigations, and enforcement of the federal and state air pollution control laws and regulations. The Clean Air Branch also monitors and conducts inspections of schools for compliance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).
Clean Water Branch (808-586-4309)
The Clean Water Branch administers and enforces statewide water pollution laws and rules. This is achieved through permitting of point sources, compliance monitoring, inspections, investigations of complaints, and ambient water quality monitoring.
Safe Drinking Water Branch (808-586-4258)
The Safe Drinking Water Branch administers federal and state safe drinking water regulations to the approximately 155 "public water systems" in the State of Hawaii to assure that the water served by these systems meets state and federal standards. Any system which services 25 or more people a minimum of 60 days per year or has at least 15 service connections is subject to these standards and regulations. This program directly affects the drinking water quality of approximately 90-95% of the people in the State.

The Hazardous Waste Management Program conducts routine inspections of local facilities that generate, store, transport, and treat hazardous wastes. Initiation of formal enforcement action against noncompliant facilities is also a charge of the Hawaii program.
-- Underground Storage Tank Management Program
The Hawaii Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program implements the federal UST regulations in Hawaii while the State's capabilities in this subject area are being established. The federal UST regulations require specific technical design and operational standards for USTs, financial assurance, and corrective actions in response to tank releases.
