Qn Bniwetok Island: 1. 73 and 80 octane aviation gasoline - 30,000 gallons in drums. 2. 115 and 145 octane aviation gasoline - 30,000 gallons 3. Motor gasoline - 62,000 gallons in four 5,000 gallon tanks and one 1,000 barrel (42,000 gallon) tank. 4. Diesel oil - 84,000 gallons in two 1,000 barrel - in three 10,000 gallon tanks. (42,000 gallon) tanks. The 5,000 and 10,000 gallon tanks referred to in the above tabulation were tobe horizontal steel tanks and the 1,000 barrel tanks were to be vertical bolted steel tanks. After the Reconnaissance Report was submitted, it was decided that maintenance of these tanks would be greatly simplified and their useful life increased if they could be periodically inspected and repainted as required. Therefore, it was decided to install the L. @ tanks above ground. The horizontal tanks were to be set on steel cradles on concrete foundations. The vertical Tanks were to be set on concrete pads with the bottoms of the tanks protected from contact with the concrete by means of a heavy coating of hot-mopped asphalt. These recommendations were included in Supplement No. 1 to the Reconnaissance Report. Early in July 1949, design and working drawings were begun for the tank farm and ship unloading facilities on Parry Island. Design proceeded on the basis of the recommendations contained in Supplement No. 1. As indicated on Plate 4 of the Supplement, the fuel storage tank farm endpangitige Potlitties .weshee'de loemted-et the northwest cornar of Brookhaven Road and Atoll Road (later re-named Sandstone Avenue). This location had originally been selected to place the storage tanks reasonably close to the diesel power plant building, the point of maximum use, in order to reduce pumping distance to a minimum. This location also facilitated the loading of fuel trucks by allowing the truck loading racks to be installed adjacent to a cutoff between Brookhaven and Atoll Roads and keeping the trucks off the main streets while loading. Motor gasoline and diesel oil were to be received from tankers through two 4—inch submarine lines, one for each fuel. These lines were to be standaré weight seamless steel pipes with welded joints run side-by-side approximately 1,000 feet from the tank farm to a buoy anchored offshore in the lagoon. Of the 1,000 feet, about 400 feet of pipe was to run offshore under water and the remaining length onshore. The steel pipe was to terminate on the bottom of the lagoon near the buoy and be connected to the buoy by means of 4-inch submarine oil hose. in operation, a fuel tanker anchors adjacent to the buoy, makes connections 1see Appendix "A" to this report. 9-271
