Letter: Close Red Hill facility to any use in the future
The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is an engineering marvel that has outlived its original purpose.
It has also morphed into a clear danger to Oahu’s water supply.
It needs to be closed down and not be repurposed for water supply storage or other future use (“Red Hill tanks: Turn liability into asset,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Dec. 28). After defueling is completed by the Navy, the next step is to make it inoperable for use as a future fuel storage facility.
We need to protect our aquifers from future contamination from the Red Hill facility by permanently closing it for any future use.
