Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 200.1 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT RULES › Subchapter 10 - PREPARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS › Section 11-200.1-30 - Supplemental environmental impact statements

Current through June, 2024
(a) An EIS
				  that is accepted with respect to a particular action is usually qualified by
				  the size, scope, location, intensity, use, and timing of the action, among
				  other things. An EIS that is accepted with respect to a particular action shall
				  satisfy the requirements of this chapter and no supplemental EIS for that
				  proposed action shall be required, to the extent that the action has not
				  changed substantively in size, scope, intensity, use, location, or timing,
				  among other things. If there is any change in any of these characteristics
				  which may have a significant effect, the original EIS that was changed shall no
				  longer be valid because an essentially different action would be under
				  consideration and a supplemental EIS shall be prepared and reviewed as provided
				  by this chapter. As long as there is no change in a proposed action resulting
				  in individual or cumulative impacts not originally disclosed, the EIS
				  associated with that action shall be deemed to comply with this
				  chapter.
(b) The accepting
				  authority or approving agency in coordination with the original accepting
				  authority shall be responsible for determining whether a supplemental EIS is
				  required. This determination will be submitted to the office for publication in
				  the periodic bulletin. Proposing agencies or applicants shall prepare for
				  public review supplemental EISs whenever the proposed action for which an EIS
				  was accepted has been modified to the extent that new or different
				  environmental impacts are anticipated. A supplemental EIS shall be warranted
				  when the scope of an action has been substantially increased, when the
				  intensity of environmental impacts will be increased, when the mitigating
				  measures originally planned will not be implemented, or where new circumstances
				  or evidence have brought to light different or likely increased environmental
				  impacts not previously dealt with.
(c) The contents of the supplemental EIS
				  shall be the same as required by this chapter for the EIS and may incorporate
				  by reference unchanged material from the same; however, in addition, it shall
				  fully document the proposed changes from the original EIS, including changes in
				  ambient conditions or available information that have a bearing on a proposed
				  action or its impacts, the positive and negative aspects of these changes, and
				  shall comply with the content requirements of subchapter 10 as they relate to
				  the changes.
(d) The requirements
				  of the thirty-day consultation, public notice filing, distribution, the
				  forty-five-day public review, comments and response, and acceptance procedures,
				  shall be the same for the supplemental EIS as is prescribed by this chapter for
				  an EIS.
