The Defense Department will permanently shut down the Navy's massive fuel tank facility in Hawaii that leaked petroleum into Pearl Harbor's tap water, and will remove all the fuel, the Pentagon said Monday.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the decision by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is based on a new Pentagon assessment, but also is in line with an order from Hawaii's Department of Health to drain fuel from the tanks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.

Neglect of facilities that is now being paid for. More than once I'd seen even back in the early 1970s Navy facilities in Hawaii deteriorating because they did not take care of them. There is along term price to pay for that neglect. I'd seen buildings the Air Force condemned and was going to tear them down. the Navy took those abandoned over and used some to even house sailors even though the buildings sat vacant for years and were unfit to use.
