the Maryland Dept of Energy announced on Apr 13th that the Air Force Base failed to promptly notify the state and disclose the leaks, as required by state regulations.
The base leak detections system failed multiple times in three months and the MDE wasn't notified until the odor and the sheen was observed on the headwaters of Piscataway Creek on March 23rd
Further, the base's contamination prevention system also failed twice in early April, when a containment dam collapsed during heavy rain

this follows the Nov 2021 leak of 20,000 gallons into the Navy water supply from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, contaminating the water supply for 93,000 military members at Pearl Harbor Navy base and Hickam AFB
