News this morning that fuel spills from a Navy depot on the Big Island of Hawaii are allegedly polluting the Island's water supply.  This may sound familiar.  Just last year, the United States Supreme Court told Guam that it could sue the Navy, again, for the cost of remediating a dump it had left behind.  See https://insights.mintz.com/post/102gyzk/that-snowball-in-guam-just-melted.

I expect that the Navy isn't going to immediately do whatever the Hawaii Department of Health says it should do just because the Hawaii Department of Health says it should do it.  Hopefully another dispute that reaches the Supreme Court is no more likely.

But, it seems the United States has some serious investing to do so that its military bases finally meet the same environmental standards that it has been enforcing against the private sector for years.
