Eia kekahi, ma hope o ka leak wahie i ka lā 6 Mei ma Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility kahi i haʻi mua ai ka Navy i ka lehulehu ʻaʻohe wahie i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i loko o ke kaiapuni. kahe. ʻO kēia mau hanana hou, me ke ʻano o ka pane ʻana aku o ka Navy iā lākou a me kona ʻike ʻole ʻana me ka lehulehu, e hoʻāla i nā nīnau e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka Navy e lawe i kāna kuleana e kamaʻilio maopopo me ka lehulehu e pili ana i nā mea e pili ana i ke olakino a me ka palekana. Pono ka poʻe o Hawaiʻi e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi mai ka Navy.

Pono ka Navy e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻokele a me ka nānā ʻana i kāna mau hana, a hāʻawi i ka ʻike i ka manawa a me ka pololei i nā mea hoʻoponopono mokuʻāina a me ke aupuni pekelala e hōʻoia i ka ʻole o kāna mau hana wahie e hoʻopilikia i ke olakino a me ka palekana o ka poʻe o Hawaiʻi.
