Key congressional panel poised to press Navy on whether they’ll de-fuel Red Hill tanks

Written By Sierra Club Hawaiʻi Chapter

TL;DR - A key Congressional panel will hold a hearing next week over the Navy’s handling of the Red Hill water contamination.

The House Armed Services’ Subcommittee on Readiness will call some of the Navy’s top officials in Hawaii and on the mainland to testify about the fuel spill. They will also question them about whether the Navy plans to comply with the state’s order to shut down the fuel tanks.

“We also want to look at what the military is doing to take care of the military and the civilian families that have been affected in the housing areas,” said U.S. Rep. Kai Kahele, a member of the subcommittee.
