Air Quality Monitoring
Per the conditions set forth in the Hawaii Department of Health’s (DOH) June 18, 2024 letter, Navy Closure Task Force – Red Hill (NCTF-RH) is providing notification that air emissions reporting and perimeter air quality monitoring (AQM) public data posting for tank 2 will be reduced to a daily compilation of the previous day’s hourly data effective July 31, 2025.
NCTF-RH has met the following requirements of five (5) consecutive hourly readings taken from the exhaust vent during the forced ventilation of Tank 2. The total Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the Tank 2 have demonstrated readings below 4.82 lbs/hr and undiluted total VOC concentrations have demonstrated readings below 15 parts per million by volume (ppmv) based on a one-hour time weighted average (TWA).
NCTF-RH will resume hourly reporting to the mobile app once positioned to begin venting the next tank.
The mission of the Navy Closure Task Force - Red Hill (NCTF-RH) is to safely and expeditiously execute the permanent decommissioning of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) and continue long-term environmental remediation in coordination with State and Federal stakeholders in order to protect public health and the environment.
NCTF-RH's motto is closely linked to our mission: Safe. Deliberate. Engaged. Committed.
Safe: The Navy will conduct a safe and expeditious closure.
Deliberate: A comprehensive plan that factors in all stakeholder concerns.
Engaged: Proactive transparency and listening to our community.
Committed: A Navy core value; it is in our DNA
