Hawaii congressional team calls for independent investigation into Red Hill toxic foam leak
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaii’s congressional delegation is asking for an impartial investigation into the poisonous foam leak on the Navy’s Crimson Hill facility.
An estimated 1,300 gallons of poisonous firefighting foam spilled on Nov. 29, prompting emergency clear up efforts and issues of groundwater contamination by so-called “without end chemical substances.”
In a letter to the Authorities Accountability Workplace, the delegation stated the incident probably uncovered the group to enduring well being threats and the individuals of Hawaii deserve solutions.
