Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill Posts Information Prepared for Community
Representation Initiative
JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii – On Dec. 2, 2024, the elected members of
the Community Representation Initiative (CRI) submitted a petition to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) objecting to the recent amendment to the 2023 Administrative
Consent Order (ACO). The amendment established CRI meeting ground rules as a prerequisite
for the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency to return to the CRI meetings. The Navy will allow
the EPA time to complete their review of the petition and determine a resolution to ensure that
everyone is committed to a clear scope and process to bring benefit to the community. Navy will
participate in the next CRI meeting scheduled once this review and resolution is complete.
While EPA and CRI members resolve the petition, Navy Closure Task Force-Red Hill (NCTF-
RH) will ensure that there is no break in information flow and provide the material prepared for
the CRI meeting. Topics covered in the material include groundwater well monitoring and
groundwater flow model as well as an operational update. The Navy has posted the information
it planned to share at the meeting at

The Navy remains fully committed to meeting the intent of the recently signed modification to
the 2023 ACO statement of work regarding public outreach as EPA completes its review. NCTF-
RH has and will continue to execute a robust public engagement program. These engagements
include:
