HALAWA, Hawaii (May 28, 2024) An air quality monitoring (AQM) station set up before the start of fuel tank ventilation at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) in Halawa, Hawaii, May 28, 2024. As part of venting operations, the task force has installed nine AQM stations at the RHBFSF perimeter to track changes in air quality, measure potential volatile organic compound (VOC) levels, and collect atmospheric data (i.e., air speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure). The tank ventilation and air monitoring procedures have undergone regulatory scrutiny to ensure the safety of the surrounding community while allowing workers to safely enter and clean the interior of the tanks. Charged with the safe decommissioning of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill was established by the Department of the Navy as a commitment to the community and the environment.
