The Defueling Of The Red Hill Storage Facility Is In This Admiral’s Hands
TL;DR - Navy Rear Adm. John Wade has a huge responsibility.
As commander of the newly formed Joint Task Force Red Hill, he is in charge of removing millions of gallons of fuel from the Red Hill fuel complex – all while preventing another catastrophic spill at the troubled World War II-era facility.
And he needs to do it while rebuilding trust with a community that feels betrayed after thousands of gallons of fuel from Red Hill contaminated the drinking water around Pearl Harbor last year, and the Navy was criticized for its flawed response to the problem.
