Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) will continue gravity-based defueling of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Dec. 4, pending regulatory approval.
Having successfully completed gravity defueling of the tanks to the 7-foot level on November 17th and a brief intermission to reset, JTF-RH will remove the remaining usable fuel from the bottom of the fourteen storage tanks, a little less than 1 million gallons, referred to as “flowable tank bottoms.”
Emptying the tank bottoms is expected to be complete by Dec. 8.
A JTF-RH video illustrating defueling of flowable tank bottoms can be found here: dvidshub.net/video/884471/flowable-tank-bottom-motion-graphic
