Isihloko sephepha elingaphambili lamafutha avuzayo kunikezelo lwamanzi kwizindlu zomkhosi kunye nendoda ephethe ibhotile enamanzi angcolileyo. Umbhengezi weHonolulu Star, nge-1 kaDisemba, ngo-2021

Uqhanqalazo olude lwabemi olugxininisa ubungozi obuvela kuMkhosi waManzi wase-US oneminyaka engama-80 ubudala obuvuza iitanki zamafutha e-jet ezingama-20 eRed Hill - itanki nganye inamabali angama-20 ubude kwaye ibambe iilitha ezingama-225 zezigidi ze-jet fuel - yafikelela entloko kwimpelaveki. Iintsapho zaseNavy ezijikeleze iPearl Harbour Naval Base enkulu ziguliswa ngamafutha kumanzi ompompo asekhaya. Itanki enkulu yejethi yejethi yoMkhosi ikwimitha ezili-100 kuphela ngaphezulu konikezelo lwamanzi lwase-Honolulu kwaye ibivuza rhoqo.

Umyalelo weNavy wawucotha ukulumkisa uluntu ngelixa i-State of Hawai'i yakhupha ngokukhawuleza isaziso sokungawaseli amanzi. Abahlali baseFoster Village bathi banuka amafutha emva kokukhululwa kwe-20 kaNovemba ka-2021 Iilitha ezingama-14,000 zamanzi kunye nezibaso ezivela kumbhobho wokucima umlilo cwangcisa ikota yeemayile ukuhla ukusuka kwifama yetanki yamafutha. Umkhosi wamanzi uvumile ukuba omnye umbhobho ovuzayo wepetroli ongaphezu kwe-1,600 yeelitha zamafutha wenzeke nge-6 kaMeyi ngenxa yempazamo yomntu kwaye amafutha kusenokwenzeka ukuba “afikelele kwindawo engqongileyo.”

Umfanekiso weskrini wentlanganiso yeHolo yeDolophu yaseNavy nge-1 kaDisemba, 2021. Iindaba zaseHawaii Ngoku.

Sonke isihogo saqhawuka kwiintlanganiso ezine zeholo yedolophu yasemkhosini ngoNovemba 30, 2021 xa uMkhosi waManzi waxelela abahlali ukuba bawakhuphe amanzi kwimibhobho yasekhaya, ivumba kunye ne-fuel sheen iya kuhamba kwaye bangasebenzisa amanzi. Abahlali bakhala kwizibhengezo zomkhosi ukuba Isebe lezempilo laseHawai'i lalilumkisa abahlali ukuba bangaseli okanye basebenzise amanzi.

Amaqula ama-3 kunye nemigodi yamanzi asebenzela umkhosi we-93,000 kunye namalungu osapho ajikeleze iPearl Harbor. Iisampulu zamanzi zithunyelwe ukuba zihlalutywe kwilabhoratri yaseCalifornia ukufumanisa ukuba loluphi uhlobo longcoliseko olusemanzini.

Bangaphezu kwama-470 abantu abenze amagqabaza kule ngxelo Joint Base Pearl Harbour Hickam community Facebook malunga nevumba lamafutha eliphuma kwiimpompo zabo zamanzi kunye ne-sheen emanzini. Iintsapho zasemkhosini zixela iintloko ezibuhlungu, iirhashalala kunye norhudo kubantwana nakwizilwanyana ezifuywayo. Ucoceko olusisiseko, iishawa kunye nempahla yokuhlamba zezona zinto zixhalabisayo kubahlali.

UValerie Kaahanui, ohlala kwindawo yasemkhosini yaseDorris Miller, utshilo yena nabantwana bakhe abathathu baqalisa ukuphawula iingxaki malunga neveki edluleyo. “Abantwana bam bebegula, imiba yokuphefumla, iintloko ezibuhlungu. Bendinentloko ebuhlungu kwiveki ephelileyo,” utshilo. “Abantwana bam baye bopha impumlo, irhashalala, siye sarhawuzelelwa emva kokuba siphumile kwishawari. Ingathi ulusu lwethu luyatshisa.” U-Kaahanui wongezelela ukuba ngoMgqibelo, iphunga liye labonakala kwi-shower, kwaye ngeCawa, "yayinzima" kwaye ifilimu yayibonakala phezu kwamanzi.

Abathunywa baseHawaii aba-4 be-Congressional baye baqala ukucela umngeni kukhuseleko lwe-US Navy's Red Hill jet tank fuel complex kunye. wadibana noNobhala weNavy. Emva koko bakhuphe ingxelo edibeneyo efundeka ngolu hlobo: “Umkhosi wamanzi unetyala lonxibelelwano oluthe ngqo kuluntu kuzo zonke iziganeko ezenzeka eRed Hill kunye nokuzinikela ekusombululeni iinkxalabo ngesiseko seRed Hill nokuba zithini na iindleko. Ngokunikwa izixhobo kunye nobuchule bobunjineli obukhoyo kuMkhosi waManzi, sayenza yacaca into yokuba akukho kunyamezelana ukubeka emngciphekweni impilo nokhuseleko loluntu okanye okusingqongileyo. ”

I-Sierra Club Hawai'i flier kwiingozi ezivela kwi-Red Hill Jet Fuel Storage Tanks kunye neFowuni lokuValwa

Iklabhu yaseSierra ilumkise iminyaka malunga neengozi kunikezelo lwamanzi lwase-Oahu kwitanki yamafutha yejethi evuzayo eneminyaka engama-80 ubudala. Echaza izoyikiso kumanzi okusela e-Honolulu, Iklabhu yaseSierra yaseHawaii kunye nabaKhuseli baManzi base-Oahu bacele uMongameli uBiden, igqiza lenkongolose yaseHawaii kunye nomkhosi wase-US ukuba uvale iitanki zamafutha ezivuzayo.

UMlawuli weSierra Club-Hawaii uWaynet Tanaka ethetha kwinkomfa yabezindaba Ifoto nguSierra Club Hawai'i

Kwiveki ephambi kwengxaki yongcoliseko lwamanzi kwiintsapho zaseMkhosini wase-US, kwindibano kunye nenkomfa yeendaba ngoNovemba 22, 2021, uWayne Tanaka, umlawuli weSierra Club yaseHawaii wathi. "Konele konele. Siphulukene nalo lonke ukholo kumyalelo weNavy wasekhaya. ”

Nge-1 kaDisemba, uTanaka wathi, “Besinxibelelana noMkhosi waseLwandle kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Ndizama nje ukubenza baqonde umngcipheko - iingozi ezikhoyo - ukuba esi sixhobo samafutha sibeka kubonelelo lwamanzi okusela. Akukacaci ukuba amafutha ahamba njani kwaye phi, ukuba kukho ukuvuza okukhulu, ngokukhawuleza kangakanani kwaye kuya kufudukela kwi-shaft ye-Halawa, enokuthi kwakhona ibe yintlekele enkulu. Sonke sifuna ukuqiniseka ukuba oku akubi sisibhengezo sezinto ezizayo zento enokuba nefuthe elikhulu, kakhulu, elibanzi kakhulu labemi apha. ”

Iingozi ezivela kwiiTanki zokuGcina iJet eziphantsi komhlaba

Sierra Club Hawai'i umzobo weRed Hill ephantsi komhlaba itanki yejethi yamafutha

The iinyani ezithiwe thaca kwisimangalo efakwe yiSierra Club ngokuchasene noMkhosi waManzi thaca ubungqina bobungozi beetanki ezineminyaka engama-80 zibandakanya:

1). Amatanki asibhozo, ngalinye linezigidi zeelitha zepetroli, awakhange ahlolwe kwisithuba seminyaka engamashumi amabini; ezintathu kwezi azikhange zihlolwe kwiminyaka engama-38;

2). Amafutha avuzayo kunye neenxalenye zamafutha sele efunyenwe kumanzi aphantsi komhlaba angaphantsi kwendawo;

3). Iindonga zetanki zetsimbi ezibhityileyo zigqwesa ngokukhawuleza kunokuba uMkhosi weNavy ulindeleke ngenxa yokufuma kwizithuba phakathi kweitanki kunye ne-concrete casing yazo;

4). Inkqubo yoMkhosi woMkhosi woMkhosi wokuvavanya nokubeka iliso kwiitanki zokuvuza akukwazi ukubona ukuvuza okucothayo okungabonisa umngcipheko ophezulu wokuvuza okukhulu, okuyintlekele; ayinakunqanda impazamo yomntu ekhokelele ekukhutshweni okukhulu kwamafutha kwixesha elidlulileyo; kwaye ayinakuyithintela inyikima, njengaleyo yachitha imiphanda yepetroli eli-1,100 xa iitanki zazintsha kraca.

I-Sierra Club kunye ne-Oahu Water Protectors iikhowudi ze-QR zokufumana ulwazi oluthe kratya kwi-Red Hill ephantsi kwe-jet fuel tanks.

The ingxelo yomanyano lwabaKhuseli baManzi base-Oahu ibonelela ngolwazi olongezelelekileyo malunga nokuvuza kwiitanki zokugcina:

Ngo-2014, iilitha ezingama-27,000 zamafutha ejethi avuzayo kwiTanki yesi-5;
Ngo-Matshi ka-2020, umbhobho oqhagamshelwe kwiRed Hill wavuza umthamo ongaziwayo wamafutha kwiPearl Harbour Hotel Pier. Ukuvuza, obekuyekile, kuqale kwakhona ngoJuni ka-2020. Malunga neelitha ezingama-7,100 zamafutha zaqokelelwa kwindawo engqongileyo;
NgoJanuwari ka-2021, umbhobho okhokelela kwindawo yeHotele Pier usilele kwiimvavanyo ezimbini zokubona ukuvuza. NgoFebruwari, ikontraka yaseNavy yafumanisa ukuba kukho ukuvuza okusebenzayo kwiHotele Pier. ISebe lezeMpilo lifumanise kuphela ngoMeyi 2021;
NgoMeyi ka-2021, ngaphezulu kwe-1,600 yeegaloni zepetroli ezivuzayo kwiziko ngenxa yempazamo yomntu emva kokuba umqhubi wegumbi lolawulo engakwazanga ukulandela iinkqubo ezichanekileyo;
- NgoJulayi 2021, iilitha ezili-100 zepetroli zakhululwa kwi-Pearl Harbor, mhlawumbi ukusuka kumthombo oxhunywe kwiziko le-Red Hill;
NgoNovemba ka-2021, abahlali abasuka kubumelwane baseFoster Village kunye ne-Aliamanu bafowunela i-911 bechaza ivumba lepetroli, kamva bafumanisa ukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba baphuma ekuvuzeni okuphuma kumbhobho wokucima umlilo oqhagamshelwe kwiRed Hill. -I-Navy ibike ukuba malunga neelitha ze-14,000 zomxube wamanzi we-fuel-water ziye zavuza;
– Uvavanyo lomngcipheko woMkhosi ngokwawo unika ingxelo yokuba kukho amathuba angama-96% okuba ukuya kuthi ga kwi-30,000 yeegaloni zamafutha ziya kuvuza kwi-aquifer kule minyaka ili-10 izayo.

Ngaba Ukhuseleko Loluntu LukwaluKhuseleko lweSizwe?

Umkhosi wamanzi ulumkise ukuba iitanki zibalulekile kukhuseleko lwelizwe laseMelika. Abaphembeleli babemi, kuquka nomanyano olusanda kusekwa lwabaKhuseli baManzi e-Oahu, baye bagcina ukuba owona mbandela wokhuseleko lwesizwe lukhuseleko lonikezelo lwamanzi kubahlali abangama-400,000 kwisiqithi esikumgama oziikhilomitha ezingama-2300 ukusuka kwilizwekazi elikufutshane kwaye isiqithi sithathwa njengendawo ephambili yomkhosi ukuze kuqikelelwe. amandla. Ukuba i-aquifer ye-Honolulu ingcolisekile, kuya kufuneka ukuba amanzi ahanjiswe esuka kwamanye amaleko amanzi esiqithi.

Kuyahlekisa ukuba uvavanyo olukhulu lokhuseleko lwabantu ngokuchasene namaziko okhuseleko lwesizwe malunga nokungcoliseka kwamanzi okusela kwiintsapho zasemkhosini kunye namalungu omkhosi abonelela ngobuntu kwisicwangciso somkhosi wase-US ePacific..kwaye ukhuseleko lwe-400,000 ukusela kwi-aquifer ye Abantu abangama-970,000 abahlala eOahu iya kumiselwa ngendlela State of Hawai'i kunye norhulumente federal ukunyanzela US Navy ukuphelisa ingozi enkulu intlekele kunikezelo lwamanzi eziqithini ekugqibeleni ukuvala amatanki amafutha jet ye-Red Hill.
