The NCTF-RH logo symbolizes our commitment to approach this project with great respect for the land, water, and people of Hawaii. The blue skies represent the beauty of the islands, and the clouds represent the natural cycle that renews the land and people with fresh water. The rainbow not only represents hope and optimism for the future, but connects the land and sky, reminding us we are all united. The mountains bring fresh water from the highest elevations to sea level and eventually into the aquifer. Because clean water is at the heart of all NCTF-RH efforts, a drop of water exists alongside the Navy anchor. The two shaking hands inside the water droplet represent the Navy's commitment to working with the community towards the same goal: safe, clean drinking water for all generations to come. The blue section surrounding the artwork provides the name of the organization, and the two white stars represent the commander. - The NCTF-RH logo symbolizes our commitment to approach this project with great respect for the land, water, and people of Hawaii.

HONOLULU (Dec. 10, 2024) Rear Adm. Marc Williams, deputy commander, Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill (NCTF-RH), speaks to members of the NCTF-RH water testing ‘Swarm Team’ and the Honolulu Board of Water Supply about the Navy’s Long Term Monitoring technical memo findings in Honolulu, Dec. 10, 2024. The Navy’s team of experts came from across the United States to ‘swarm’ and find ways to address community and regulator concerns over water testing and quality at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Charged with the safe decommissioning of the facility, NCTF-RH was established by the Department of the Navy as a commitment to the community and the environment, and continues to engage with the people of Hawaii, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders as it safely and deliberately decommissions the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.

HALAWA, Hawaii (Sept. 4, 2024) Venting ductwork connected to tank 6 is routed through a tunnel to an external venting system at Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) in Halawa, Hawaii, Sept. 4, 2024. Equipment is staged in the tunnel in preparation for upcoming sludge removal work that will commence after tank 6 is ventilated. The tank ventilation and air monitoring procedures have undergone rigorous modeling and regulatory scrutiny to ensure the safety of the surrounding community while allowing workers to safely enter and clean the interior of the tanks.

Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill will host an informational, groundwater flow model webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 16, from 5-6 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. The webinar will discuss the Navy's groundwater flow model which studies the area of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility and surrounding area. Since groundwater can be a raw source of drinking water, the Navy utilizes data from a system of groundwater monitoring wells and a combination of various models to develop a comprehensive understanding of the groundwater in the area. These efforts are closely coordinated with regulators and will help us better protect Oahu's aquifer, now and for generations to come. - Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill will host an informational, groundwater flow model webinar on Wednesday, Oct. 16, from 5-6 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time.

HALAWA, Hawaii (May 28, 2024) A temporary vent at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) undergoes final preparations before venting operations in Halawa, Hawaii, May 28, 2024. The vent was built to use fan power to pull fuel vapor from the fuel tanks inside the facility. After receiving approval from the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH), Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill will begin tank cleaning operations by venting Tank 8 at the facility. The tank ventilation and air monitoring procedures have undergone rigorous modeling and regulatory scrutiny to ensure the safety of the surrounding community while allowing workers to safely enter and clean the interior of the tanks.
