Today, Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) began unpacking the pipelines in the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF).
Unpacking is the process of removing the remaining fuel from the pipelines and represents the final step in the gravity-based defueling of the RHBFSF.
Unpacking is expected to complete by Dec. 19.

JTF-Red Hill is committed to working with regulators and government stakeholders to ensure Red Hill is defueled safely, expeditiously, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
