Joint Task Force-Red Hill (JTF-RH) and spill response personnel perform and observe a spill response exercise on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 8, 2023. JTF-RH and spill response personnel use utility boats to create a barrier with a boom to provide containment in the case of a spill. A rapid response skimmer boat and a vacuum truck with an attached portable skimmer is used to vacuum any contaminants present in the contained area. This exercise is mandated by the DOH emergency state order and the EPA 2023 Consent Order. JTF-RH Response Directorate’s purpose is to protect the aquifer and environment by analyzing every possible spill scenario and developing appropriate mitigation measures. JTF-RH is committed to working with all local, state, and government agencies to ensure Red Hill is defueled safely, expeditiously, and in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, policies and regulations.
