Hawaii HB1367 authorizes bonds for monitoring wells to assess groundwater contamination from the Red Hill facility.

Hawaii HB1367 addresses the environmental and public health risks posed by the Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility on Oahu. The bill authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds to install two groundwater monitoring wells. These wells aim to monitor the condition of the aquifer and detect any underground fuel plumes or contaminants from the facility. The monitoring grid, consisting of up to one hundred twenty-two wells over sixty-one sites, is essential for assessing immediate and future risks, and for informing remediation planning.
