Navy documents from 2016 raised concerns about Red Hill pipeline system

TL;DR - For years, environmental regulators have zeroed in on the risks posed by the Navy’s aging Red Hill fuel tanks, which have been the source of dozens of leaks since they were built in the 1940s.

But the pipelines transporting that fuel from 18 active tanks to fueling piers at Pearl Harbor are just as old and, according to Navy documents, also suffering from corrosion and other wear and tear that increase the risk of fuel spills.
