EPA has issued a federal Clean Water Act order to ensure the continued cleanup of spilled jet fuel at a tank farm facility on the Sand Island Access Road in Honolulu, Hawaii. The order requires Airport Service Group International (ASIG), the facility operator, and Hawaii Fueling Facilities Corp., the facility owner, to proceed with cleanup work that will prevent fuel from entering waters or shoreline areas.

Since the 42,000 gallon spill was reported on January 21, 2014, the cleanup efforts overseen by EPA, along with Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH), have resulted in the recovery of over 16,000 gallons of spilled jet fuel at the ASIG facility, which provides airplane fuel at the Honolulu International Airport.
