Therefore, with the concurrence of the U.S. Air Force Command, certain changes to existing facilities were effected which permitted jet plane operations during the period when the jet fuel facilities were under construction. Asfinally designed and built, the POL additions consisted of two 5,000-barrel and two 10,000-barrel steel storage tanks (15,000-barrels Avgas and 15,000-barrels jet fuel); three new 6-inch steel filling lines (approximately 800 feet long) laid on the bot- tom of the lagoon from 0.0-foot elevation to minus 99 feet, each connected at the seaward end, by a 200-foot flexible submarine hose; a complete foamite system for new tanks; miscellaneous piping and appurtenances; one fill stand for Avgas and one for jet fuel; a 16’x 25’ addition to existing pump house; an 8-foothigh aluminum chain link fence; and earth dikes for each tank.
