The Defense Department will close a massive Navy fuel storage facility in Hawaii that leaked into the tap water in Pearl Harbor, sickening and displacing thousands of military families and civilians, the department announced Monday.
"This is the right thing to do," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a written statement released Monday afternoon.
"Centrally-located bulk fuel storage of this magnitude likely made sense in 1943, when Red Hill was built," Austin continued. "And Red Hill has served our armed forces well for many decades. But it makes a lot less sense now."
