The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is a military fuel storage facility in Hawaii. A water contamination crisis has been tied to the Navy's Red Hill fuel tanks with concerns on whether pollution from the facility could migrate toward civilian wells. The Navy has claimed they do not have the information required to assess how or when that may happen. Scientists have not found answers to how much fuel contamination is under the facility, how much already has spread, how quickly it’s moving, and what direction it may be going. Despite the threat the Navy facility poses to Honolulu’s water supply, the aquifer that lies beneath it has not been thoroughly studied.
