“This investigation makes clear that the November 29, 2022 AFFF spill at Red Hill should never have happened. When incident after incident is the result of “human error,” there comes a time when we need to recognize that there are systemic problems. The Navy needs to act now to hold people accountable for this spill and ensure that its continued work to remediate and close Red Hill meets the standards of quality and safety that the people of Hawai‘i deserve. Moving forward, we need to ensure that our people and our business are the ones leading efforts and doing the work to remediate, restore and protect Hawaii's precious resources and environment,” said Rep. Jill Tokuda. “In March, our congressional delegation requested a third-party investigation by the Government Accountability Office into the Navy’s procedures and practices to protect human health and the environment from PFAS at Red Hill. I look forward to reviewing the results of that investigation when it is completed. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I will continue to demand transparency and accountability from the Navy and the Department of Defense on all matters related to Red Hill.”
