Environmental activists urge shut down of Red Hill fuel storage facility

TL;DR - Environmental activists argued the Navy's suspension of its World War II-era fuel tanks at Red Hill is just a first step, but simply not enough to protect public health.

Sierra Club Director Wayne Tanaka said an even bigger disaster is looming and it's only a matter of time.

"We still have the fact that there's over 100-million gallons of fuel perched right above our drinking water aquifer," Tanaka said. "What we're seeing now is a catastrophe in itself. But what could happen in terms of a catastrophic, larger release, it would be almost unimaginable."
