The US military has proposed 16 October as a potential start date for the draining of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility at Pearl Harbor after it poisoned 6,000 people last year. The fuel leaked into a US Navy drinking water well supplying water to 93,000 people. The remaining fuel will be drained via additional plans and the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Hawaii Department of Health need to approve the new proposal. The investigation into the spill has yet to announce disciplinary action.
