I regularly watch and read the updates on the Red Hill fuel tanks (“Health Department conditionally approves Red Hill defueling plan,” Star-Advertiser, June 24).
Extensive reports and expensive repairs will be necessary to prepare the facility for removing the fuel from the tanks.

And why over the years weren’t these repairs being performed as necessary so the fuel could have been distributed safely to sources as needed?
