Navy a no-show at Red Hill remediation roundtable so far

TL;DR - The Navy has yet to sign on to a roundtable convened by state and federal environmental regulators to share information and chart an action plan for remediating fuel contamination caused by the Navy’s Red Hill fuel facility, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As a result, work on the plan has been stalled for the past couple of months.

Gabriela Carvalho, the EPA’s Red Hill project coordinator, said the action plan is expected to be a collection of all the environmental work that is underway and that needs to be done to remediate contamination from Red Hill fuel releases and restore the polluted groundwater.

“The goal of the action plan is to communicate with key stakeholders and the public how remediation of Red Hill contamination will happen over the next several years,” she said during a Nov. 9 Fuel Tank Advisory Committee meeting.
