Military Team Seeks To Drain 100M Gallons Of Fuel From Red Hill Without ‘A Single Drop’ Leaking

TL;DR - How to remove over 100 million gallons of fuel from the Red Hill storage facility quickly — and without allowing another leak? That’s the challenge facing the military team tasked with emptying the giant underground tanks near Pearl Harbor.

The pressure is on after thousands of gallons of fuel from Red Hill contaminated the drinking water in 2021, sickening families who are still struggling with health issues. 

To meet an October target date to begin defueling, preparations are underway, including repairs, tests, rehearsals, training and working with regulators, according to Army Reserve Brig. Gen. Michelle Link, who is the deputy commander of Joint Task Force – Red Hill.
