With approval from the Hawaii Division of Well being (DOH), NCTF-RH will begin tank cleansing operations by venting Tank 8 on the facility.
“NCTF-RH has labored carefully with DOH to make sure air flow of the tanks is finished in a fashion that won’t pose a danger to human well being,” stated Rear Adm. Marc Williams, NCTF-RH deputy commander. “Our crew is dedicated to soundly decommissioning the ability, and tank air flow operations will get us one other step nearer to this purpose.”
As a part of venting operations, the duty power has put in 9 air high quality monitoring (AQM) stations on the RHBFSF perimeter, together with on the Halawa Correctional Facility, to trace adjustments in air high quality, measure potential unstable natural compound (VOC) ranges, and acquire atmospheric information (i.e., air velocity, wind course, temperature, humidity, barometric stress).
Throughout venting operations, AQM information might be up to date hourly on the NCTF-RH cellular app, and day by day on the NCTF-RH web site.
NCTF-RH has a collection of fail-safes and redundancies to mitigate danger and safeguard the general public. Within the occasion of an exceedance throughout operations, NCTF-RH will alert regulators, Hawaii Emergency Administration Company (HIEMA), Honolulu Division of Emergency Administration (DEM), and the general public by way of the app, web site (www.navyclosuretaskforce.navy.mil), and a press launch to the media.
