Closures Of Red Hill, Shark Fin Ban And Volcano Monitoring Included In Defense Bill

TL;DR - Congress has included key provisions in its annual defense policy bill for 2023 that will ensure that the U.S. Navy continues efforts to drain and decommission its bulk fuel storage tanks at Red Hill.

The National Defense Authorization Act sets the policy priorities for the U.S. military each year and is one of the rare pieces of legislation that almost always gets approved despite partisan divisions.

Congress has yet to vote on the legislation, but it is expected to pass before the end of the session.
