Accordingly, on August 30, 1949, the drawings were revised to show the above mentioned changes, and on September 1, 1949, new prints were - issued to the field. Inasmuch as the relocation of the storage tanks and pump house reduced the length of the fuel receiving lines from the fueling buoy and at the same time increased the length of the diesel oil transfer line between the pump house and the power house, it was necessary to revise the materials records sheets. This was done and the revised records were re-issued to the Construction Department. In August 1949, before design of the fuel facilities for Eniwetok Island had begun, a teletype message from AEC in Washington gave re- vised figures for storage requirements for Eniwetok Island. figures were: l. 2. 3. 4. 100 octane aviation gasoline JP=-1 fuel 91 octane aviation gasoline 80 octane aviation gasoline These new 250,000 gallons 40,000 gallons 6,000 gallons 20,000 gallons Prior to procuring the necessary tanks to store these quantities of fuel, Holmes & Narver's Chief Engineer wrote to the AEC Manager at Los Alamos requesting verification of the quantities. By letter dated December 30, 1949, the Director, Office of Engineering and Construc- tion, AEC informed us the storage requirements had been changed and the following quantities would be stored: Own eE Wr l. 100 octane avgas JP-1 fuel 91 octane avgas 80 octane avgas Motor gasoline Diesel fuel 150,000 gallons 30,000 gallons 18,000 gallons 20,000 gallons 60,000 gallons 80,000 gallons By the same letter, instructions were given to procure the neces- sary tankage for the above quantities. Accordingly, procurement of the following tanks was initiated early in January 1950: 1. 100 octane avgas, four 1,000 barrel vertical tanks, 2. JP-1 fuel, one 1,000 barrel vertical tank, 42,000 gallons 3. 91 octane avgas, two 10,000 gallon horizontal tanks, 20,000 gallons total storage. 80 octane avgas, space for 480 drums. Motor gasoline, one 1,000 barrel vertical tank plus two 4e 5. 6. 168,000 gallons total storage. total storage. 10,000 gallon horisontal tanks, 62,000 gallons total storage. Diesel fuel, one 1,000 barrel vertical tank plus four 10,000 gallon horizontal tanks, 82,000 gallons total storage. 9-273
