Navy Says It Shouldn’t Have To Share More Red Hill Documents

TL;DR - A day after the Pentagon announced it plans to defuel and permanently close the Red Hill fuel facility, the Navy told the health department that it shouldn’t have to divulge information it was required to provide in its pursuit of a state permit.

In January, DOH ordered the Navy to hand over a long list of documents pertaining to the facility’s design, history of leaks, organizational leadership and contamination.

The Navy has shared some information in response to that order, including documents showing the Navy has had concerns about its Red Hill pipelines for years, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. However, the military asked for more time to produce the rest.
