Management Advisory: Concerns with the Navy’s Handling of Incidents Involving Aqueous Film-Forming Foam at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam (Report No. DODIG-2025-013)

Evaluation

This final management advisory identifies concerns found during the DoD Office of Inspector General’s evaluation of the DoD’s management of the operation, maintenance, safety, and oversight of the Navy’s Defense Fuel Support Point Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam.

During an evaluation of the DoD’s management of the operation, maintenance, safety, and oversight of the Navy’s Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam (JBPHH), we identified concerns with Navy officials’ handling of incidents involving aqueous film‑forming foam (AFFF).1 Specifically, we identified four incidents involving AFFF in December 2019, September 2020, October 2021, and November 2022. However, Navy officials could not provide us with evidence indicating that they carried out required incident response actions, including reporting, and properly cleaned up areas affected by the December 2019, September 2020, and October 2021 incidents involving AFFF.
