NguColonel (Ret) uAnn Wright, World BEYOND War, UDisemba 13, 2022
Ngomhla wokuqala we-Massive Jet Fuel Leak esuka kwi-Red Hill, i-103 yezigidi zeegaloni ze-Jet fuel Hlala kwi-Underground Tanks Kuphela ii-100 Feet ngaphezu kwe-Honolulu's Aquifer, i-Sickened Military and Civilian Family Ityhefu yi-Jet Fuel ye-Navy isenobunzima bokufumana uncedo lwezoNyango.
Umntu akanakukwazi ukugqiba inqaku malunga nentlekele ye-jet ye-Red Hill yaseHawaii ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke esinye isiganeko esiyingozi. Ngelixa bendigqibezela inqaku elimalunga nesikhumbuzo sokuqala sikaNovemba ka-2021 ukuvuza kwepetroli enkulu yejethi engaphezulu kwe-19,000 yeelitha zejethi kumthombo wamanzi okusela okhonze ama-93,000 omkhosi kunye neentsapho zabahlali, nge-29 kaNovemba ka-2022, ubuncinci iilitha ezili-1,300 zelizwe. Isixhobo esicinezela umlilo esinetyhefu ngokugqithisileyo eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) evuze “kwivalve yokukhupha umoya” efakwe ngunokontraka iKinetix kumgangatho wetonela ye-Red Hill Underground Jet Fuel Storage Tanks complex kwaye impompoza iinyawo ezingama-40 ukuphuma itonela emhlabeni.
Abasebenzi beKinetix kuxelwe ukuba bebelungisa inkqubo xa kuvuza. Ngelixa inkqubo yayine-alamu, amagosa e-Navy awakwazanga ukufumanisa ukuba i-alamu ivakala njengento equlethwe kwi-tank ye-AFFF engentla.
Okokuqala Akukho vidiyo, emva koko iVidiyo, kodwa uluntu alukwazi ukuyijonga
Kwenye i-fiasco yobudlelwane boluntu, ngelixa ekuqaleni echaza ukuba akukho zikhamera zevidiyo ezisebenzayo kule ndawo, Umkhosi wamanzi ngoku uthe kukho umfanekiso oshukumayo kodwa awuzukuwukhuphela eluntwini olu mboniso ukhankanya inkxalabo yokuba uluntu lunokuthi lubeke esichengeni uphando.
Umkhosi wamanzi iya kuvumela abameli beSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii (DOH) kunye ne-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ukujonga ividiyo, kodwa kuphela kwindawo yomkhosi. Amagosa e-DOH nawe-EPA akayi kuvunyelwa ukuba enze iikopi zevidiyo. Abakhange babhengeze ukuba baya kufunwa nguMkhosi waManzi ukuba basayine isivumelwano sokungabhengezi ukuze babone ividiyo.
Nangona kunjalo, i-DOH ibuyela umva kuMkhosi waManzi. NgoDisemba 7, 2022, uKatie Arita-Chang, isithethi seSebe lezeMpilo wathi. kwi-imeyile kumthombo weendaba,
“I-DOH iza kuthetha-thethana neGqwetha Jikelele laseHawaii, njengakule meko, sikholelwa ukuba ukufumana ikopi yevidiyo kuyimfuneko ukuze senze umsebenzi wethu wokulawula. Kukwanyanzelekile ukuba iJoint Task Force yenze ividiyo ifumaneke eluntwini ngokukhawuleza ngenjongo yokunyaniseka nokungafihli nto. ”
Uluntu lusalindile emva konyaka omnye ukuba uMkhosi waManzi ukhuphe ngokusemthethweni ividiyo yokuvuza kuka-2021 okwathi uMkhosi waManzi awukho kwaye ubone kuphela ngenxa yokuba umloli wakhupha umfanekiso, hayi uMkhosi waManzi.
I-3,000 yeeCubic Feet zoMhlaba oNgcolisekileyo
Abasebenzi bekhontrakthi yasemanzini banayo kususwe i-3,000 cubic feet zomhlaba ongcolisekileyo ukusuka kwisiza seRed Hill kwaye babeke umhlaba ngaphezulu kwe-100+ 50 yeegaloni zamagubu, afana namagubu awayesetyenziselwa ukuqulatha enye ikhemikhali eyityhefu eOrange.
I-AFFF ligwebu lokucima umlilo elisetyenziselwa ukucima umlilo wepetroli kwaye iqulethe i-PFAS, okanye izithako ze-polyfluoroalkyl ezidume kakubi ngokuba "ziikhemikhali zanaphakade" ezingayi kuphuka kwindalo kwaye ziyingozi ebantwini nakwizilwanyana. Yinto enye eyayikumbhobho apho i-19,000 yeegaloni ze-jet fuel zaphuma ngoNovemba ka-2021 ukuvuza.
USekela Mlawuli weSebe lezeMpilo leNdalo yaseHawaii ukuvuza "kubi."
Kwi Inkomfa yabezindaba ngokweemvakalelo u-Ernie Lau, Umanejala kunye neNjineli eyintloko yeBhodi ye-Honolulu yoBonelelo lwaManzi, uthe waziva "i-aquifer ikhala" kwaye yafuna ukuba uMkhosi waManzi ukhuphe amatanki epetroli ngokukhawuleza kunoJulayi 2024 njengoko ekuphela kwesizathu sokuba igwebu eliyingozi lalikhona ngenxa yokuba i-petroleum yayisekhona. iitanki.
UMlawuli weSigqeba seSierra Club Wayne Tanaka watsho, “Iyacaphukisa into yokuba bona (uMkhosi waseLwandle) ubungakhathali kangako ngobomi bethu nangekamva lethu. Bayazi ukuba imvula, amanzi angena kwaye adlule kwindawo yeRed Hill emhlabeni kwaye ekugqibeleni angene emanzini aphantsi komhlaba. Kwaye nangoku bakhetha ukusebenzisa ugwebu lokucima umlilo olunala "michiza yanaphakade."
Inani loluntu lwase-US oluqinisekisiweyo ukuba lungcolisekile ziikhompawundi ezinetyhefu kakhulu ezibizwa ngokuba yiPFAS ziyaqhubeka nokukhula ngesantya esothusayo. Ukususela ngoJuni 2022, Iindawo ezingama-2,858 kumazwe angama-50 nakwimimandla emibini ziyaziwa zingcolisekile.
Ityhefu yase-US yomkhosi woluntu olusemdeni wofakelo lomkhosi iye kufikelela kwiziseko zase-US kwihlabathi liphela. Ngeyona ndlela ibalaseleyo NgoDisemba 1, 2022 inqaku elithi "Umkhosi wase-US utyhefa i-Okinawa," Umphandi wePFAS uPat Elder unikezela ngeenkcukacha zovavanyo lwegazi oluqinisekisa amanqanaba aphezulu e-carcinogen PFAS egazini lamakhulu ahlala kufutshane neziseko zase-US kwisiqithi sase-Okinawa. NgoJulayi ka-2022, iisampulu zegazi zathathwa kubahlali abangama-387 base-Okinawa ngoogqirha kunye neqela loNxibelelwano loKhusela uBomi baBemi ngokuchasene nokuNgcoliseka kwePFAS babonisa amanqanaba ayingozi okuvezwa kwePFAS.
NgoJulayi ka-2022, iZiko leSizwe leSayensi, ubuNjineli, kunye noNyango (NASEM), umbutho oneminyaka eli-159 ubudala obonelela ngeengcebiso zesayensi kurhulumente wase-United States, wapapashwa “IsiKhokelo kwiPFAS Exposure, uVavanyo, kunye nokuLandelwa kweKlinikhi. "
Iziko leSizwe licebisa oogqirha ukuba babonelele ngovavanyo lwegazi lwePFAS kwizigulana ezinokuthi zibe nembali yokuvezwa okuphezulu, njengabacimi bomlilo okanye izigulana ezihlala okanye ezihlala kwiindawo apho ungcoliseko lwePFAS lubhalwe phantsi.
Uluntu lwezoNyango eHawaii lunamava amancinci okuNyanga ityhefu enetyhefu kude kube ngo-2022, emva koko akukho ncedo luvela kumkhosi obangele ityhefu.
Njengoko sisazi kumava onyaka odlulileyo kunye nokungcoliswa kwamafutha e-jet, oogqirha baseHawaii babenamava amancinci okunyanga iimpawu ze-jet fuel poisoning kwaye bafumana uncedo oluncinci kwi-medicine yezonyango. Ngaphandle kokuba ubudlelwane boluntu nomkhosi buguquka bube ngcono, uluntu lwezonyango lwase-Honolulu akufuneki lulindele naluphi na uncedo olukhulu malunga nokungcoliseka kwePFAS. E Ngomhla we-9 kweyeNkanga, ngo-2022 intlanganiso yeBhunga leeNgcebiso ngeTanki yaBaso, Ilungu lekomiti uGqr. Melanie Lau ugqabaze ngelithi abezonyango banikwe isikhokelo esincinane kakhulu ekuqondeni iimpawu zetyhefu ye-jet fuel. “Ndikhe ndanezigulana ezifikayo zandixelela iimpawu zazo kwaye zange ndiqonde ukuba amanzi anentsholongwane ngelo xesha. Ayizange icofe de kube emva kokuba siyazi malunga nosulelo. "
Ukuqwalaselwa ngakumbi nangakumbi kuzwelonke nakwihlabathi liphela kugxile kubungozi bePFAS kubandakanya amaxwebhu kunye neemuvi. “Amanzi Amnyama,” Umboniso bhanyabhanya okhutshwe ngo-2020 ubalisa ibali lokwenyani legqwetha elathatha isigebenga sekhemikhali iDuPont emva kokufumanisa ukuba inkampani ingcolisa amanzi okusela ngemichiza eyingozi yePFOA.
Ummi ufuna ukuchithelwa ityhefu yamva nje
I-Sierra Club yaseHawaii kunye nabaKhuseli baManzi base-Oahu baye basabela ekuvuzeni okunetyhefu kwamva nje iimfuno ezilandelayo:
1. Ukususwa ngokupheleleyo/ukulungiswa kwawo wonke umhlaba ongcolisekileyo, amanzi, kunye neziseko ezingundoqo kwindawo ejikeleze iRed Hill
2. Ukuseka indawo yokuvavanya amanzi esiqithini, ezimeleyo, engeyiyo eye-DOD kunye nomhlaba;
3. Ukwandisa inani lamaqula okubeka iliso angqonge indawo kunye nokufuna iisampuli zeveki;
4. Ukwakha izixokelelwano zokuhluza amanzi ukunika inkonzo abantu abanokuthi bangabinamanzi akhuselekileyo ukuba ukuchitheka okukhoyo okanye kwexesha elizayo kungcolise unikezelo lwamanzi;
5. Ifuna ukubhengezwa okupheleleyo kwazo zonke iinkqubo ze-AFFF kumaziko omkhosi e-Hawaii kunye nembali epheleleyo yazo zonke ii-AFFF ezikhutshwayo; kwaye
6. Faka endaweni yoMkhosi waManzi kunye neekontraki zawo kwindima yazo yokuphelisa amafutha kunye nokuphelisa ugunyaziso lweRed Hill ngombutho wamasebe amaninzi, okhokelwa ngabahlali kunye neengcali kunye nabameli boluntu.
Isikhumbuzo sokuqala sokuvuza kwe-19,000 yeeGaloni zeJet Fuel kwi-Honolulu Aquifer
Ekuqaleni kukaNovemba ka-2022, uMkhosi waManzi wahambisa i-1 yezigidi zeegaloni zamafutha ezazikumgama oyi-3.5 yeemayile zemibhobho ethwala amafutha ukusuka kwindawo ephantsi komhlaba eRed Hill ukuya kutsho ngaphezulu kweitanki zokugcina umhlaba kunye nenqanawa yokugalela amafutha.
I-103 yezigidi zeegaloni zamafutha e-jet zisasele kwi-14 ye-20, iitanki ezinkulu ezingaphantsi komhlaba ezineminyaka engama-80 ubudala ezingaphakathi kwentaba yentaba-mlilo ebizwa ngokuba yiRed Hill kunye neemitha ezili-100 kuphela ngaphezu kwe-aquifer yamanzi okusela yase-Honolulu. Induli yayikrolwe ukuba iitanki zakhiwe ngaphakathi ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi II. I-Navy Task Force iqikelela ukuba iya kuthatha ezinye iinyanga ze-19, kude kube nguJulayi 2024, ukukhupha iitanki ngenxa yokulungiswa okukhulu ekufuneka kwenziwe kwiziko, umda wexesha ophantsi kokugxekwa kakhulu ngamagosa kaRhulumente kunye neNgingqi kunye noluntu. .
Ukuza kuthi ga ngokuchitheka kukaNovemba ka-2021, uMkhosi waManzi wagcina ukuba iziko leRed Hill likwimeko entle kungekho ngozi yokuchitheka kwamafutha, nangona bekukho ukuvuza kweelitha ezili-19,000 ngoMeyi ka-2021 kunye nokuvuza. I-27,000 yeelitha ezivuzayo ngo-2014.
Iintsapho ezigulayo zaseMkhosini kunye nabahlali zityhefwe yiJet Fuel yoMkhosi woMkhosi woMkhosi zisenobunzima bokufumana uncedo lwezonyango.
In idatha ekhutshwe ngamaZiko oLawulo lweSifo (CDC) ngoNovemba 9, 2022 ngexesha lentlanganiso yesiqingatha sonyaka ye IKomiti yeNgcebiso yeTanki yeFuel eRed Hill (FTAC), ngoSeptemba 2022 uphando olulandelelweyo lwabantu abangama-986 yi-Arhente yeCDC yeZinto ezinetyhefu kunye neRejistri yeZifo (CDC/ATSDR) yabonisa ukuba iimpembelelo zempilo ezimandundu ezivela kwityhefu yamafutha ziyaqhubeka ebantwini.
Olu phando lwalulandelelanisa uphando lwempembelelo kwimpilo yokuqala eyaqhutywa ngoJanuwari nangoFebruwari 2022. NgoMeyi ka-2022, iziphumo zovavanyo lokuqala zapapashwa kwinqaku kwi Ingxelo yeVeki ye-CDC yokuGqwesa kunye nokuFaka (MMWR) kwaye ishwankathelwe iphepha lenyaniso.
Abantu be-788, i-80% yalabo baphendule uphando lukaSeptemba, baxela iimpawu kwiintsuku ze-30 zokugqibela ezifana nentloko, ukucaphuka kwesikhumba, ukukhathala kunye nobunzima bokulala. Kwabo babekhulelwe ngexesha lentlekele, i-72% yafumana iingxaki, ngokophando.
I-61% yalabo baphendulayo babebuyisela abathathi-nxaxheba besaveyi kwaye i-90% idibene neSebe lezoKhuselo.
Uphando luchaze ukuba:
· I-41% ichaze imeko esele ikhoyo ethe yaba mandundu;
· I-31% ichaze uxilongo olutsha;
· kwaye i-25% ichaze ukuxilongwa okutsha ngaphandle kwemeko ekhoyo ngaphambili.
UDaniel Nguyen, igosa lenkonzo yobuntlola kwi-CDC ye-Arhente ye-Toxic Substances kunye neRegistry yeZifo uthe kwintlanganiso ukuba phantse isithathu sabaphenduli bachaza ukungcamla okanye ukuvumba kwepetroleum kumanzi abo ompompo kwiintsuku ezingama-30 ezidlulileyo.
Uthe "uphando oludlulileyo lubonisa ukuba ukuvezwa kwi-jet fuel kunokuchaphazela inkqubo yokuphefumla, i-gastrointestinal system kunye ne-nervous system. Ngokuqhelekileyo ukuchazwa kweparafini ngengozi kubandakanya ubunzima bokuphefumla, intlungu yesisu, ukuhlanza, ukudinwa kunye nokuxhuzula.
Ngaphandle kobungqina be-EPA ngokuchasene noko, iinkokeli zonyango zithi akukho bungqina ukuza kuthi ga ngoku bexesha elide lokugula ngenxa yokusela amanzi angcoliswe ngamafutha e-jet kwaye bathi uvavanyo olulula alukwazi ukufumanisa ikhonkco elithe ngqo.
Ngokuchasene ngqo neziphumo ze-CDC, ngexesha lentlanganiso ye-FTAC, uDkt. Jennifer Espiritu, intloko yeZiko lezeMpilo leMmandla yeSebe elisanda kusekwa kunye nomphathi wezempilo yoluntu kwi-Tripler Army Medical Centre, wathi "akukho nto iqinisekileyo. ubungqina bokuba i-jet fuel ibangele iingxaki zempilo,"
Ngokumangalisayo, kwi-a inkomfa yoonondaba nge-21 kaNovemba, UGqr Espiritu waqhubeka nokuchasana kwakhe nobungqina be-EPA bokuba i-jet fuel ityhefu abantu. U-Espiritu uthe, “Elinye lamadabi ethu amakhulu ngoku lidabi lokulwa nolwazi olungachananga. Ndikhe ndabuzwa umbuzo wokuba kutheni ndingakwazi ukwenza uviwo okanye uvavanyo kumntu ondixelela ukuba kutheni beneempawu zabo nokuba inxulumene nokuvezwa kwamafutha ejethi okwenzeka kunyaka ophelileyo. Alukho uvavanyo lomlingo oluyenza loo nto kwaye andisazi ukuba kutheni kukho umbono okhoyo. "
Kwangoko le ngxaki, amaqela ezonyango abona abantu abangama-6,000 ngenxa yezigulo. Ngoku amagosa omkhosi athi inani elingachazwanga kwaye "elingazange libonwe ngaphambili" labaguli bakhalaza ngolusu, isisu, imiba yokuphefumla kunye ne-neurological.
Kunyaka omnye emva kokuvuza kweFuel yeNavy enetyhefu enkulu, iDOD Ekugqibeleni imisela iKlinikhi yoNyango eKhethekileyo
NgoNovemba 21, 2022, unyaka emva kokuchitheka kwepetroli enkulu yejethi, iSebe lezoKhuselo labhengeza ukuba ikliniki eyodwa iya kusekwa ukuze ibhale iimpawu zexesha elide kwaye ujonge ukuba ngaba inxulunyaniswe namanzi anetyhefu. Amagosa esibhedlele sasemkhosini ka-Tripler asagcina ukuba uphando lwezonyango olukhoyo lubonise iziphumo zexesha elifutshane kuphela xa luvezwe kungcoliseko.
Inani elikhulu leentsapho zomkhosi kunye nabahlali babonelele ngamajelo eendaba ngamabali kunye neefoto ezichaza izigulo zabo. Iindaba zaseHawaii Ngoku (HNN) zenze udliwano-ndlebe oluninzi kunye neentsapho ezenziwe kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Kunyaka omnye we-Red Hill jet yetyhefu ye-fuel, i-HNN yavelisa uthotho lweendaba "iRed Hill - Unyaka omnye kamva" eyayibonisa. iintsapho zixoxa ngeempawu kunye neenzame zonyango lwetyhefu yepetroli.
Iintsimbi ze-Alarm bekumele ukuba bezikhala-abaninzi baziva begula phambi koNovemba ka-2021, i-19,000 yeJet Fuel yokuchitheka kwi-Aquifer yaManzi okusela.
Uninzi lweentsapho zomkhosi kunye nezabahlali ezihlala kwiziseko zomkhosi ezingqonge iPearl Harbor, eHawai'i baye bathetha phandle ukuba baziva begula ngaphambi kokuvuza okukhulu kwejethi ye-Red Hill kaNovemba ka-2021… kwaye babenyanisile!
Idatha ekhutshwe kutsha nje ibonisa ukuba amanzi abo ayengcoliswe sisibaso sejet ngehlobo lika-2021 kwaye babeziva ziziphumo zetyhefu kwakude kudala ngaphambi kukaNovemba ka-2021.
Udliwanondlebe neentsapho ezilishumi ezipapashwe kwinqaku elibanzi le-21 kaDisemba 2021 Washington Post Iintsapho zomkhosi zithi zazigula iinyanga ngaphambi kokuba ukuvuza kwe-jet-fuel kuzise uqwalaselo kumanzi epompo asePearl Harbor., ”Rekhoda ukuba amalungu osapho abelane ngamanqaku kagqirha, ii-imeyile kunye neerekhodi ezibonakalayo ezibonisa iimpawu, kwezinye iimeko, ezisusela ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo, ngo-2021.
Amanye amanqaku amaninzi kumajelo eendaba asekuhlaleni nawesizwe kulo nyaka uphelileyo baye babhala amalungu eentsapho ezininzi zasemkhosini kunye nabahlali abafuna unyango lweempawu ezahlukeneyo zokuvezwa kwamafutha e-jet, ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba yintoni imvelaphi yeempawu.
Iintsimbi ze-alarm ebekumele ukuba ziyakhala kwiSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii (DOH) ukusuka kumanqanaba e-spiking ye-jet fuel kumanzi okusela zathuliswa yintlekele ye-2017 DOH isigqibo sokwandisa amaxesha amabini anesiqingatha kwinqanaba elivumelekileyo lokusingqongileyo (EAL) lokungcoliseka. kumanzi okusela e-Honolulu.
Uhlalutyo lwe-Red Hill yaseHawaii eneminyaka engama-80 ubudala enkulu yejethi yamafutha ephantsi komhlaba yokugcina iitanki imiba yetheyibhile yedatha eyongezelekayo yomhla wama-31 ka-Agasti, ngo-2022, iqinisekisa izimvo zeentsapho ezininzi ezinempembelelo emkhosini kunye nabahlali ukuba bebeziva begula ngaphambi kukaNovemba ka-2021 "ukutshiza" kwiiyure ezingama-35 ze-19,000 yeegaloni zamafutha ejethi kwiRed Hill zisela kakuhle inxenye ye-aquifer yase-Honolulu.
Umbuzo ngowokuba ngubani obesazi ngamanqanaba aphezulu etotali yepetroleum hydrocarbons-diesel (TPH-d) ebonisa i-fuel kwi-aquifer eqala ubuncinane ngoJuni ka-2021, kwiinyanga ezintandathu phambi koNovemba “isipewu” samafutha ejethi..kwaye kwakutheni Iintsapho ezazihlala kwiindawo zokuhlala ezichaphazelekileyo zasemkhosini nezabahlali nabasela amanzi angcolisekileyo bexelelwe?
Njengesikhumbuzo kuthi sonke abangazi nto malunga netyhefu ye-jet fuel, xa i-TPH-d (itotali ye-petroleum hydrocarbons diesel) inqanaba liyi-100 iinxalenye ngebhiliyoni nganye (ppb) unokuvumba kwaye ungcamle i-petroleum xa isemanzini. Kungenxa yoko le nto Ibhodi yonikezelo lwaManzi yaqhankqalaza ngowama-2017 xa iSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii linyusa izinga "elikhuselekileyo" lamafutha kumanzi okusela ukusuka kwiingxenye ze-160 ngebhiliyoni (ppb) ukuya kwi-400parts ngebhiliyoni (ppb).
ISebe lezeMpilo leSizwe laseHawaii lizobe umgca kwiindawo ezili-100 ngebhiliyoni nganye yokungcamla kunye nevumba, kunye ne-160 yokusela, kude kube ngu-2017 xa i-DOH. Yandisa inqanaba elamkelekileyo lencasa kunye nevumba ukuya kwi-500 ppb kunye nenqanaba elamkelekileyo lokusela ukuya kuma-400 ppb..
Njengoko uluntu lwaluchazelwe kwi-21 kaDisemba, i-2021 yokuviwa komyalelo kaxakeka, iSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii libonise ukuba NgoJuni ukuya kuSeptemba, i-fuel ifunyenwe kwi-shaft yamanzi e-Red Hill ngezihlandlo ezininzi, kunye neemvavanyo ezimbini zoMkhosi waManzi ngo-Agasti, i-2021 idlula amanqanaba entshukumo yokusingqongileyo, kodwa iziphumo zeNavy azizange zithunyelwe kurhulumente kwiinyanga.
Abemi baseHawaii, amaGosa eLizwe kunye naweNgingqi atyhala uMkhosi woMkhosi woMkhosi woMkhosi wokuTyala iiTanki zeFuel yeJet ngokukhawuleza kunoMda weXesha
Ubudlelwane boMkhosi waManzi kunye noluntu buyaqhubeka buba yi-torpedo ezantsi. Ukungabikho elubala kunye nolwazi olungelulo luye lwacaphukisa urhulumente kunye namagosa asekuhlaleni kwaye kwabangela ukuba amaqela asekuhlaleni abambe iindibano zoluntu ukuze alumkise umkhosi ukuba usemkhenkceni obhityileyo. Ukulibaziseka kude kube nguJuni 2024, iinyanga ze-18, ekugqibeni ukuchithwa kwe-104 yezigidi zeegaloni ezisele kumatanki angaphantsi komhlaba kuphela i-100 yeenyawo ngaphezu kwe-aquifer ayamkelekanga kuluntu. Amagosa eBhodi ye-Honolulu yeBhodi yezoBonelelo lwaManzi ahlala ephawula esidlangalaleni ukuba yonke imihla i-jet fuel ehlala emathangeni iyingozi kunikezelo lwethu lwamanzi kwaye ikhuthaze i-Navy ukuba ikhawuleze ithayimthebhile yokukhupha amatanki amakhulu kunye nokuvala ngokusemthethweni i-complex.
Imibutho yasekuhlaleni ibixakekile ifundisa uluntu malunga neengozi eziqhubekayo zeRed Hill underground jet fuel tank complex. Amalungu e Iklabhu yaseSierra-Hawaii, Abakhuseli baManzi baseOahu, Ubulungisa bomhlaba, Imibutho engama-60 kwiShut Down Red Hill Coalition, Uxolo noBulungisa eHawaii, Ka'ohewai, Vala iRed Hill Mutual Aid Collective, ICaucus yokusiNgqongileyo kwaye Wai Ola Alliance baye babamba i-die-ins kwi-State Capitol, bathatha inxaxheba kwi-sign-waving yeveki, banikezela ubungqina kwiikomiti zamanzi zombuso kunye namabhunga asekuhlaleni, bahambisa amanzi kuluntu oluchaphazelekayo lwempi kunye noluntu, i-webinars yelizwe kunye nelizwe jikelele, ibanjwe "i-Anahula" yeentsuku ezili-10. umlindo kumasango ekomkhulu le-Navy's Pacific Fleet, isikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo sokuvuza okukhulu kukaNovemba ka-2021 kunye ne-LIE-versary, imatsha yamanzi acocekileyo e-Oahu nase-Washington, DC, ibambe iipikniki kwaye inikezela ngenkxaso yoluntu kumkhosi kunye neentsapho zabahlali ezifunayo. unyango.
Ngenxa yobutshantliziyo babo, mhlawumbi akumangalisi ukuba, akukho malungu aloo mibutho aye acelwa ukuba abe kwi-Red Hill Task Force esandul' ukusekwa engamalungu angamalungu ali-14 “iQonga leNgcaciso,” elimihlangano yalo, enika umdla, ivaliweyo kumajelo eendaba nakuluntu.
I-NDAA izakwabela ibhiliyoni e-1 yezigidi zeedola zokuTyala iRed Hill kunye nokuvalwa kunye ne-800 yezigidi zeedola zokuPhuculwa kweziSeko zoMkhosi.
Nge-8 kaDisemba, i-2022, iNdlu yaBameli baseMelika yapasisa uMthetho wokuGunyanyiswa koKhuseleko lweSizwe (i-NDAA) oya kwi-Senate yase-US kwiveki ezayo. Ubonelelo lwe-NDAA kwiRed Hill lubandakanya:
· Ukufuna uMkhosi waManzi ukuba ukhuphe ingxelo efumaneka esidlangalaleni rhoqo ngekota malunga nobume bomzamo wokuvala iRed Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.
· Ukwalathisa i-DoD ukuba imisele imfuno, inani kunye neendawo ezifanelekileyo zomlindi owongezelelweyo okanye amaqula okubeka iliso ukuze akhangele kwaye alandele umkhondo wentshukumo yesibaso esivuza emhlabeni, ngentsebenziswano ne-United States Geological Survey.
· Ukufuna i-DoD ukuba yenze uphononongo lwe-hydrology malunga ne-Red Hill kwaye ivavanye indlela yokujongana neemfuno zamanzi e-O'ahu kunye nokunciphisa ukunqongophala kwamanzi, ukuquka amaziko okucoca amanzi okanye ukubekwa kweshaft yamanzi okusela entsha.
· Ukulawula i-DoD ukulandelela iziphumo zezempilo zexesha elide zokuvuza kwamafutha e-Red Hill kumalungu omkhosi oxhobileyo kunye nabo baxhomekeke kubo ngokubambisana neZiko loLawulo lweSifo kunye neSebe lezeMpilo lase-Hawai'i. Kodwa akukhankanywa ngomonakalo owenziwe kwiintsapho zabemi abachatshazelwe yi-jet fuel angcolisekileyo.
