This Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility is Poisoning the Residents of
Hawaii! | | |
In November 2021, nearly 20,000 gallons of
fuel leaked from a Navy storage facility in O'ahu,
Hawaii, into a local water well poisoning almost
100,00 residents. While the Navy promised
to close the facility in the next few years, there are
still over 100 million gallons of fuel in the
deteriorating tanks, threatening residents and their
water safety every day.
Just
a month after the 2021 leak, cancer-causing PFAS --
known as forever chemicals -- were detected in local
groundwater samples. In November 2022, hundreds of
gallons of toxic firefighting foam used to maintain the
leftover fuel spilled in the storage facility. This is
a disaster of the Navy's
making. Every minute Red Hill tanks
remain fueled, thousands of residents are at risk.
Congress must act and escalate the shutdown and
defueling of Red Hill, now.
Sign the petition to
demand Congress immediately defuel the water tanks and
shut down the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility. | | |
