Sludge is a waste product mixture of fuel, water, dirt, metal particles, and microorganisms that forms at the bottom of all fuel tanks. To remove sludge, workers are safely lowered down into the tank in a metal basket wearing personal protective equipment to manually shovel out sludge via 5-gallon buckets used to fill 55-gallon drums. Working in the facility tunnels, drums are set inside containment devices for spill prevention and sealed. The drums will then be transported off island to a permitted waste disposal facility on the continental U.S. More info at: https://www.navyclosuretaskforce.navy.mil/

Webinars
Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill hosted a groundwater monitoring informational webinar on Tuesday, Sept. 24, from 5-6 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. The webinar discussed the Navy's groundwater monitoring well network around the area of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. Since groundwater can be a raw source of drinking water, the Navy utilizes data from a system of monitoring wells and combination of various models to develop a comprehensive understanding of the groundwater conditions 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.
