Regulators from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Hawaii Department of Health perform a visual verification of protective measures installed in the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF), Halawa, Hawaii, Aug. 24, 2023. Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) installed these new measures to protect the aquifer and minimize environmental impact in the unlikely event of a spill during the repacking of fuel lines. JTF-RH is in phase three of its five-phase defueling plan. Personnel are focused on completing quality control tasks, training, response preparation, the National Environmental Policy Act Environmental Assessment, regulatory approvals and operational planning for all future major milestones. This extensive preparatory work will help ensure the safe and expeditious defueling of the RHBFSF. (DoD photo by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Randall E. Corpuz)
