The Navy has been implementing their current inspection and repair procedures on the tanks at Red Hill since the mid-1990’s. The Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) requires the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to improve these tank inspection, repair and maintenance procedures. Problems with the Navy’s Tank 5 inspection and repair process were a contributing factor to the release of approximately 27,000 gallons of jet fuel in January 2014.

The AOC requires the Navy to develop and submit to EPA and Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) a Tank Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance (TIRM) Report. This report was submitted to the Regulatory Agencies for review on October 11, 2016. The Navy's submittal consists of the Tank Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (TIRM) Report and 66 appendices. The TIRM report can be found at the bottom of this page. The appendices are located on a separate page: October 2016 TIRM Report List of Appendices.

As the Navy performs upgrades to the tanks, the AOC requires the TIRM procedures to be revised consistent with the tank upgrade alternative chosen for implementation. Subsequent TIRM revisions will also be submitted to the Regulatory Agencies for review and approval.
