The federal government is submitting to the state’s environmental oversight authority, an Earthjustice attorney said.

Levels of diesel and oil are getting lower in the aquifer below the Navy’s fuel storage facility, the health department said.

The Navy said there are no indications of “system-wide impacts.”

It’s a technology that has been in use for over 100 years.
