Our aquifers are vital to all life on and around our islands. Our people, plants, animals and marine resources are in grave danger from the decades of leaking jet fuel from the tanks at Red Hill. Such leaks occur due to failing infrastructure, line malfunctions, operator error, understaffing and lack of monitoring by the US Navy. It is time to stand strong and call upon our leaders at the city, state, and federal level to have the Red Hill fuel tanks decommissioned, to clean up the environmental catastrophe in a sterile manner to avoid further negative impact on the health of our population, and to implement more stringent permitting systems that cannot be circumvented by military or others.
