Mel Tescher, Environmental Operations Lead, Navy Closure Task Force - Red Hill (NCTF-RH), speaks during a Spill Drill Tabletop Exercise at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Feb. 22. The exercise, run by NCTF-RH, rehearsed roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the event of a potential spill at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) and is a key milestone in the transition of efforts from Joint Task Force-Red Hill. Charged with the safe decommissioning of the RHBFSF, NCTF-RH was established by the Department of the Navy as a commitment to the community and the environment. The Navy continues to engage with the people of Hawaii, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders as NCTF-RH works to safely and deliberately decommission the RHBFSF.
