Kapolei properties tied to the city's separate storm sewer system are regulated by ROH Chapter 43, Article 11, which bars non-stormwater discharges and enforces MS4 water quality standards.
Article 11 is the primary stormwater discharge regulation. Sec. 43-11.12 governs connections to the city separate storm sewer, and Sec. 43-11.22 prohibits discharging any effluent other than stormwater. Administrative Rules Relating to Water Quality adopted under ROH 14-12 supplement the chapter. Kapolei drains toward West Oahu coastal waters and flood plain channels, so controlling pollutants entering the MS4 is a priority. Prohibited discharges include pool water, soapy wash water, paint, solvents, pesticides, and fuel residues. Residents and contractors must contain these materials and dispose of them properly.
Dumping pool water, car-wash runoff, paint rinse, or yard chemicals into storm drains violates Article 11 and can result in significant fines and cleanup orders.
