A generator must use § 262.13 to determine which provisions of this part are applicable to the generator based on the quantity of hazardous waste generated per calendar month.(d) Any person who exports or imports hazardous wastes must comply with § 262.18 and subpart H of this part.(e) Any person who imports hazardous waste into the United States must comply with the standards applicable to generators established in this part.(f) A farmer who generates waste pesticides which are hazardous waste and who complies with all of the requirements of § 262.70 is not required to comply with other standards in this part or 40 CFR parts 270, 264, 265, or 268 with respect to such pesticides.(g)(1) A generator's violation of an independent requirement is subject to penalty and injunctive relief under section 3008 of RCRA and sections 342J-7 and 342J-9, HRS.(2) A generator's noncompliance with a condition for exemption in this part is not subject to penalty or injunctive relief under section 3008 of RCRA and sections 342J-7 and 342J-9, HRS as a violation of a 40 CFR part 262 condition for exemption. Noncompliance by any generator with an applicable condition for exemption from storage permit and operations requirements means that the facility is a storage facility operating without an exemption from the permit, interim status, and operations requirements in 40 CFR parts 124, 264 through 266, and 270 of this chapter, and the notification requirements of section 342J-6.5, HRS.

A healthcare facility or electronic nicotine delivery system retailer that generates more than 100 kg (220 pounds) of hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 100 kg (220 pounds) per calendar month of any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris, resulting from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in § 261.31 or § 261.33(e), is subject to 40 CFR part 266 subpart P for the management of subpart P hazardous wastes in lieu of this part. A healthcare facility or electronic nicotine delivery system retailer that is a very small quantity generator when counting all of its hazardous waste, including both its subpart P hazardous waste and its non-subpart P hazardous waste, remains subject to § 262.14 and is not subject to part 266 subpart P, except for §§ 266.505 and 266.507 and the optional provisions of § 266.504.Haw.
