AIEA, Hawaii (March 9, 2022) — The U.S. Navy began using a device designed to remove fuel contaminants in Red Hill Well as part of ongoing efforts to recover the well under an interagency-approved plan. The drum oil skimmer sits on the surface of the water and uses a rotating, oleophilic (oil-attracting), hydrophobic (water-repelling) drum to pull in oil or fuel. The U.S. Navy is working closely with the Hawaii Department of Health, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army to restore safe drinking water to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam housing communities through sampling and flushing, and the recovery of the Red Hill Well.
