Written By Sierra Club Hawaiʻi Chapter

TL;DR - The Hawaii Sierra Club is seeking to intervene in state proceedings aimed at forcing the U.S. Navy to drain its Red Hill underground fuel tanks after jet fuel contaminated its drinking water system, which serves an estimated 93,000 people on Oahu.

The Hawaii Sierra Club, which is being represented by environmental law firm Earthjustice, says that DOH hasn’t been aggressive enough in standing up to the Navy over the years.
