MAUI, Hawaii --  Lt. Col. Phillip Wagenbach, 15th Space Surveillance Squadron commander, hosted a community forum at the University of Hawaii Maui College on April 26 to provide an update on the current status of remediation efforts at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex.

The actions are in response to a lightning strike which caused an equipment malfunction at the MSSC and released about 700 gallons of fuel atop Haleakalā.

Wagenbach re-emphasized that the Air Force remains fully committed to clean up and recovery efforts at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex and will continue to maintain transparency as the remediation steps to safely restore the sacred grounds at Haleakalā continue.
