HONOLULU – Joint Task Force – Red Hill (JTF-RH) has transitioned into the last phase of the surge tank draining evolution. To date, JTF-RH has removed 435,000 gallons of the approximately 480,000 gallons the tanks held before draining began July 17.

JTF-RH personnel remain focused on safety and continue to coordinate with the Environmental Protection Agency and Hawaii Department of Health as they execute this evolution.
JTF-RH also released an updated Defueling Dashboard today. The dashboard is published on the JTF-RH website and mobile app.
