What are the different types of permits?
Chapter 13-5 Subchapter 4 of the Hawai`i Administrative Rules, lists the varying types of permits required for each land use. A project might require a site plan approval from the DLNR chair or their representative, a departmental permit approved by the chair, or a comprehensive review and permit from the DLNR board. Unique circumstances might allow for a temporary vaariance or an emergency permit. Projects with the greatest impact might also require public hearings and/or an Environmental Assessment or Enivironmental Impact Statement.
