Abstract

The Department of Health, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), amended and compiled Chapters 11-59 and 11-60, Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR). These rules, among other things, amended the State's air quality rules, and became effective on June 29, 1992. Special condition number 1 of Authority to Construct (ATC) No. A-833-795 specifically notes that the ATC may be revised to conform to the State's air quality rules. Pursuant to special condition number 1 (as well as Chapter 3429, HRS, and Chapters 11-59 and 11-60, HAR), the Department of Health has consolidated the prior permit changes and made additional minor revisions to ATC No. A-833-795 to conform to our most recent amendments to the State's air quality rules. Enclosed with the letter are attachments I and II. The conditions set forth in Attachments I and II supersede in their entirety the conditions issued with ATC No. A-833-795 dated February 6, 1990, and as modified on March 16, 1990, May 28, 1991, and January 13, 1992. These modifications shall become final twenty (20) days after receipt, unless before the twenty (20) days expire, Puna Geothermal Venture submits a written statement to the Director of Health either waiving its right to a hearing or requesting a hearing pursuant to Chapter 91 and Chapter 3429, HRS. If a hearing is requested, it will be held at a date, time, and place to be specified later and conducted in accordance with Chapter 91, HRS, and the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Department of Health.
