Measure moves the regulatory goal posts.  Red Hill shows no exceedances now.

“The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that groundwater monitoring sample results at the Red Hill Bulk Storage Facility show no exceedances of PFAS based on the Hawai‘i Department of Health Environmental Action Levels, (EALs).  See the report here.
