Today, the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) will participate in an open house regarding the ongoing effort to de-fuel and close the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF).

During the event, which will take place at the O‛ahu Veterans Center located at 1298 Kukila Street from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m, DOH will provide updates on its Emergency Order requiring the Navy to safely defuel and close RHBFSF. DOH will also share information on plans for long-term drinking water and environmental monitoring.

DOH did not participate in yesterday’s town hall regarding the 2023 Proposed Administrative Consent Order (Consent Order) for the defueling and closure of the RHBFSF because DOH is not a party to the Consent Order.

The Consent Order is a proposed settlement involving the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy), and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
