Special City Council meeting to discuss Red Hill underground fuel storage facility

TL;DR - In the wake of the Navy’s water crisis, the Honolulu City Council is calling a special meeting on Wednesday to discuss measures targeting the Red Hill underground fuel storage facility.

One bill — introduced by City Councilmembers Radiant Cordero and Tommy Waters — would require operators of large underground storage tanks to obtain a permit from the city first. For the Navy, that would be in addition to a permit from the state Department of Health for Red Hill.

The council will also take up a resolution that urges state and federal officials to permanently remove or relocate the facility.
