The Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) conditionally approved the Joint Task Force-Red Hill defueling plan to remove about 104 million gallons of fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel
The Hawaiʻi State Department of Health received an updated defueling plan this week for the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. The plan, submitted by Joint Task Force-Red Hill, moves up defueling to begin in October 2023.
Delayed investigation document and video footage of a highly toxic firefighting foam spill at a military-owned facility in Hawaii were released by US military officials on Friday, authenticating the contractor's failure.
The spill released toxic chemicals into the ground and prompted a major environmental cleanup operation involving soil excavation and testing for chemicals known as PFAS in the soil and groundwater.
