FUEL FACILITY OVERVIEW

The fuel facility at NAVSTA Rota consists of a Bulk Fuel Farm, an Aboveground Fuel Farm, a Ready Issue Fuel Farm, a Type III Hydrant System, fueling stations at Pier 1 and Pier 3, interconnecting fuel pipelines joining the facilities, and a Ground Fuel Service Station for fueling government vehicles.

1. Bulk Fuel Farm The Bulk Fuel Farm is located to the east end of the naval station and consists of twenty-eight cut and cover type underground fuel tanks. The entire Bulk Fuel Farm was constructed and commissioned in 1958.

a. Cut and Cover Tanks (Facility Numbers 626 - 653) The bulk fuel tanks are field-constructed cut and cover steel underground storage tanks with a nominal capacity of 45,000 barrels each with the exception of five of the JP-5 tanks which have a nominal capacity of 12,000 barrels each. The bulk fuel tanks are randomly spaced approximately 500-ft apart throughout the bulk fuel farm. The tanks are grouped by product with eight tanks used for diesel fuel (1 through 8); nine tanks used for JP-8 (9 through 13 and 119 through 122); and eleven tanks used for JP-5 (14 through 18 and 123 through 128).

Tank 126 is permanently out of service due to groundwater leakage into the tanks through the bottom shell plates.

The fuel farm is accessible by paved roads throughout the facility and by gravel roads to the tops of the tanks. The soil surrounding the roads and tanks is almost completely sand and subject to erosion from strong winds coming off the ocean. The soil erosion is further complicated by colonies of rabbits which dig along the routes of pipelines and conduits and at the side slopes leading up to the tops of the tanks. The soil erosion creates a problem in maintaining pipelines, conduits and access routes for normal servicing of the bulk fuel facilities.

An impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system is in place to protect the tanks.

The tanks at the bulk fuel facility are considered in marginal condition due to the difficulties in performing inspections and repairs to the cut and cover tanks.

b. Equipment Vaults and Transfer Pipelines The fuel is transferred from the bulk fuel tanks by vertical turbine pumps located within open top concrete vaults on the tops of each of the cut and cover tanks. The pipelines for tank receipt and issue are connected to the product group pipelines at valve vaults which are either covered by canopies, roll-off covers or heavy steel or aluminum lids. The product group pipelines are connected to the main fuel pipelines at six main line valve vaults (ML1 through ML6) which also are either covered by canopies or heavy steel or aluminum lids. Multiple deficiencies are noted for groundwater and rainwater leakage into valve vaults which causes corrosion to the pipelines and valves. Other deficiencies are noted for the lack of adequate lighting and safe access to the valve vaults.

The main fuel pipelines pass from the bulk fuel farm along the south side of Santa Maria Street westward along the naval base fence towards the Aboveground Fuel Farm, the Ready Issue Fuel Farm, and the piers.

The fuel pipelines connecting the tanks and main lines are welded carbon steel pipes with an impressed current cathodic protection system.

The equipment and vaults at the bulk fuel facility are considered in marginal condition due to the difficulties in keeping valve vaults dry and the lack of safe access to the vaults due to heavy covers.

2. Aboveground Fuel Farm The Aboveground Fuel Farm is located adjacent to the Pier 3 access road and to the west of the Rio Salado River. It is primarily used for intermediate storage of fuels for truck loading of JP-5 and diesel. The Aboveground Fuel Farm consists of twelve aboveground fuel tanks. The Aboveground Fuel Farm was constructed and commissioned in 1958. The tanks, equipment, pipelines, truck loading station, and enroute booster pump station at the Aboveground Fuel Farm are considered in serviceable condition.

a. Aboveground Tanks (Facility Numbers 614 - 625) The aboveground fuel tanks are field-constructed steel tanks ranging in nominal size from 3,000 barrels to 5,000 barrels for diesel fuel, JP-5, and JP-8 and from 500 barrels to 20,000 barrels for waste oil tanks (201 through 212). Each of the aboveground fuel tanks has a concrete berm for secondary containment which drains to an oil/water separator station located to the southeast corner of the fuel farm adjacent to the Rio Salado River. The oil water separator station is discharged by controlled flow after each storm event to the river. Here is a breakdown of the existing tanks:

b. Equipment and Pipelines (Facility POLLF) The aboveground fuel farm includes the metering station for fuel transferred to and from the piers. The metering station is enclosed within a fenced area between the fuel farm and Pier 3. The main fuel pipelines from the piers to the Bulk Fuel Farm pass through aboveground fuel farm and are controlled by valves in six valve pits (VP-1 through VP-6) and the Rio Salado valve pit (also known as the “spaghetti pit”). The buried fuel pipelines are welded carbon steel pipes with an impressed current cathodic protection system.

c. Truck Loading Station (Facility Number 1922) The truck loading station located along the north side of the Aboveground Fuel Farm is currently capable of issuing JP-8 and JP-5. There is a current project to connect tanks 209 and 210 to the JP-8 fill stand. The truck loading station has a canopy cover for weather protection and a secondary containment slab for stormwater collection.

d. Enroute Booster Pump Station (Facility Number POLLF) The enroute fuel system transfers JP-8 from the bulk fuel farm to the Hydrant System and has an intermediate booster pump station with filtration at the Aboveground Fuel Farm. The enroute booster pump station is also capable of transferring JP-8 fuel from tank to tank with filtration. The booster pump station includes a pig launcher and a pig receiver for cleaning and inspection of the enroute pipeline.

3. Ready Issue Fuel Farm (Facility Numbers 85 - 90) The Ready Issue Fuel Farm is located along Fifth Avenue to the south of the flight line and consists of six cut and cover type underground fuel tanks (85 through 90). The Ready Issue Fuel Farm has been placed out of service and a project is in place to decommission the system.

a. Cut and Cover Tanks (Facility Numbers 85 - 90) The Ready Issue tanks are field-constructed cut and cover steel underground storage tanks with a nominal capacity of 5,000 barrels each.

b. Equipment Vaults and Transfer Pipelines The fuel is transferred from the fuel tanks by vertical turbine pumps located within open top concrete vaults on the tops of each of the cut and cover tanks. The pipelines for tank receipt and issue are connected to the product group pipelines at valve vaults with heavy aluminum lids. The fuel pipelines connecting the tanks and main lines are welded carbon steel pipes with an impressed current cathodic protection system.

4. Type III Hydrant System The Type III Hydrant System consists of two operating tanks with associated pump houses, a filter building for receipt and issue filtration, aircraft refueling pits, a truck loading/unloading station, and a fuel truck parking area. The hydrant system is considered to be in good condition.

a. Cut and Cover Tanks (Facility Number 3237/3238) The hydrant tanks are field-constructed cut and cover steel underground storage tanks with a nominal capacity of 30,000 barrels each. There are no known deficiencies associated with the hydrant tanks. The fuel is pumped from the two tanks with two vertical turbine pumps located in the masonry building at the top of the tank. Each pump is rated at 600 gpm to transfer fuel to the hydrant system.

b. Filtration Enroute fuel (JP-8) is received from the bulk fuel storage facility via the Enroute Booster Pump Station at the Aboveground Fuel Farm. Upon entering the hydrant system, the fuel goes through receipt filtration prior to being transferred into the hydrant storage tanks. The JP-8 is also filtered upon issuing to the fueling pits at the flight line and the truck loading station.

c. Truck Loading Station (Facility Number 3234) The truck loading station has two fueling lanes rate at 600 gpm each for loading JP-8 and is located between the cut and cover hydrant tanks and the fuel truck parking area. Each of the truck loading stations has a canopy cover for weather protection of the truck loading/unloading equipment. The truck loading station has concrete pavement with spill protection and an oil/water separator.

d. Fuel Truck Parking (Facility Number 3234PA) The fuel truck parking area is located adjacent to the Type III Hydrant System and the flight line and has space for parking 10 fuel trucks. The truck parking area is constructed with concrete pavement that is sloped to drain for spill protection and drains through an oil/water separator.

5. Fuel Receipt and Issue at Piers Pier 3 (Facility 94) is the primary fueling pier at NAVSTA Rota. Fuel is received and issued at Rota via the marine loading arms and hose riser stations on Pier 3. The Pier 3 fueling system is considered to be in serviceable condition. This contract covers recurring maintenance of the fuel system at Pier 1 (Facility 92), 2 (Facility 93), 3 and 4 (Facility 95).

a. Marine Loading Arms at Pier 3 (Facility Numbers 3290A, 3290B, 3290C and 3290D) Pier 3 has four (4) marine loading arms. This contract covers recurring maintenance to the marine loading arms.

6. Ground Fuel Service Station (Facility Number 84) The Ground Fuel Service Station consists of two underground fuel tanks with the associated pumping and dispensing station for servicing government vehicles. The service station is in operational status and in good condition.

a. Tanks (Facility Number 84) There are two underground storage tanks located in this facility for ground products of mogas and diesel. The underground tanks have the necessary leak detection and alarm systems. Each tank has a nominal capacity of 10,000 gallons.

b. Dispensers (Facility Number 84) There are two dispensers for fueling government vehicles. Each of the dispensers has a connection for mogas and diesel. The dispensers are located on a concrete island and under a canopy. The service station also has truck loading dispensers for mogas and diesel for refueler trucks to carry ground products to fixed equipment such as generators and limited mobility vehicles such as airfield tugs.
