Hawaii Health Department says Navy exerting too much control over Red Hill contractor

TL;DR - The Hawaii Department of Health on Monday said that the Navy is not in compliance with its Dec. 6 emergency order requiring it to defuel its Red Hill fuel facility after determining that the contractor hired by the Navy to do an assessment of the work was not in a “position to act independently.”

The DOH’s emergency order requires the Navy to hire an independent contractor, approved by DOH, to assess the facility and recommend repairs and improvements for safely draining its underground fuel tanks.
