DoD Begins Defueling Red Hill Ahead of Schedule
·
HAWAII - A once-classified U.S. Military fuel storage installation hidden inside of a mountain in Hawaii called the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility began leaking jet fuel into the drinking water and sickening at least 5,900 military personnel in November 2021.
In support of that goal, the Department of Defense published a new supplement to the DoD Red Hill Defueling Plan today.
