Courts previously allowed the Navy a yearlong stay in the case while state and federal agencies handle remediation of the drinking water contamination. HONOLULU (CN) — The U.S. Navy may get its request for a six-month extension in a lawsuit over jet fuel from a Navy facility contaminating Hawaii’s water system granted, despite objections from environmental activists and Native Hawaiian leaders. But she noted that the plaintiffs should have adequate access to documents and discovery materials needed to prepare their case. She also encouraged coordination with other ongoing contamination litigation, including a Honolulu Board of Water Supply case against the Navy. Kobayashi scheduled status conferences for early 2026 to monitor progress on discovery issues and the regulatory cleanup process.
