; and (B) ensures the free flow of commerce to Hawaii, the continental United States, and the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. (13) In 1991, the facility was used as a transfer point for moving fuel from the continental United States to the Persian Gulf. (14) This transfer of fuel was done as part of the first Gulf War. (15) The facility was declassified in 1995. (16) The facility is physically protected and cyber-hardened. (17) The facility can be operated entirely off the electric grid by using gravity flow to transport fuel from the facility to Pearl Harbor, Hickam Airfield, and a truck loading site. (18) The facility is located approximately 100 feet above the basal groundwater table on the boundary of the Waimalu and Moanalua Aquifer Systems. (19) The Waimalu and Moanalua aquifers are sources of potable water and are potentially vulnerable to contamination from an unscheduled discharge of fuel from the facility. (20) The Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency have kept the drinking water safe through 70 years of operation. (21) The Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency are responsible for protecting the public from unscheduled fuel leaks that may pose a risk to the drinking water. (22) The facility has experienced unscheduled fuel leaks as evidenced by stains beneath several of the existing fuel tanks. (23) Chronic releases of petroleum, oils, and lubricants have the potential to cause damage to Oahu’s drinking water supply. (24) Historic records compiled by the Navy in a 2008 ground water protection plan indicated that there were more than 30 leaks dating back to 1947. (25) The 2008 ground water protection plan suggested at least 170,000 gallons of fuel has leaked since the facility began operating. (26) In January 2014, the United States Navy discovered a loss of fuel from Tank #5 and notified the Environmental Protection Agency and the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH). (27) The Navy estimated the fuel loss at approximately 27,000 gallons. (28) Following the January 2014 fuel release, the EPA and DOH negotiated
