HONOLULU (KITV4) -- The Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) issued an $8.7 million fine to the US Navy for repeated sewage discharges into waters near the NAVFAC Hawaii Wastewater Treatment Plant near Pearl Harbor.

“The Navy’s failure to properly operate and maintain this wastewater treatment plant led to the pollution of state waters. We are taking action to protect our state’s water resources and to hold the Navy accountable to make critical repairs and prevent a potential catastrophic failure of the facility,” said Deputy Director of Environmental Health Kathleen Ho.
