A program like HSEP is long overdue in Hawaii, and I strongly urge all NPDES General Permit holders to actively participate. The cost is negligible compared to the benefits in facilitating fulfillment of our responsibility to safeguard Hawaii’s unique and fragile environment for future generations. One of the features that I consider to be most valuable is the availability of third-party site and program evaluations. Even the most seasoned environmental manager is subject to subliminal bias in internal auditing due merely to familiarity and repetition. A fresh set of schooled eyes is always welcome on my site.
