EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, AUXILIARY FIELD 3 (DUKE), REPLACE JET FUEL STORAGE COMPLEX FLORIDA 124 7. Project Number 8. Project Cost (5000) 7029765 IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED If this project is not provided, the existing deteriorating fuel facility will continue to pune an environmental risk with the potential for tank closure by regulators for failure to comply with environmental Mtandards Since these tanks provide the only fuel storage at Duke Field, closure would result in severe mission impact low assigned units. ADDITIONAL An analysis of restoring the existing facilities versus the proposed new construction concluded that comtruction at a new site was the only feasible alternative to accomplish the fueling mission. This project meets all apluable DoD criteria The Director. Defense Logistics Agency, certifies that this facility has been considered for junt use potential. Mission requirements, operational considerations, and location are incompatible with use by other compriments A. Equipment associated with this project that will be provided from other appropriations: Point of Contact is Thomas P. Barba at 703-767-3534 DD PAGE NO These fuel facilities provide essential fuel storage and distribution systems to support the missions of assigned units of Hurlburt Field, Eglin Air F Base and other contingency operations. Deferred sustainment, restoration, and modernization of fuel facilities at this location is $252.000. 10. Description of Proposed Construction: Restore a concrete fueling wharf and provide a 200 millimeter (8 inch) fuel pantograph to unload jet fuel from barges. Replace an existing 1,280-meter (4.200-feet) fuel pipeline from wharf to bulk storage with a double-walled carbon-steel carrer fiberglass-reinforced-plastic containment pipeline with leak detection Construct a smail personnel and storage shelter adjacent to the wharf Dredge waterway approaches to an average depth of 4.3 meters (14 feet to accommodate barge berthing and maneuvering Work includes cathodic protection systems, fire protection, utility and sewer connections, area lighting, pavement repairs, and mooring dolphins. Demoush the existing wooden fuel pier, dolphins, and pipeline. 11. REQUIREMENT: 1280 meters (M) ADEQUATE OM SUBSTANDARD 1280 M PROJECT Restore a barge wharf for fuel unloading and replace a deteriorated fuel papeime. (C) REQUIREMENT There is a need to replace a rotting wooden fuel pier, built in 1953, that poses a significant environment. I contamination hazard and potential for collapse in a significant storm event (eg, hurricane). This project restores the concrete wharf at the base of the pier to allow barges ac unioad fuel by means of a standard marine fuel pantograph directly into a new double-walled pupeline. All required spili containment and leak detection systems will be provided as required by Federal and state environmental regulations. This unloading facility is the primary means of providing fuel to Hurlburt Field in support of operations of the Aur Force Special Operations Command. 16th Special Operations Wing, and other semant organizations. CURRENT SITUATION The existing wooden pier and fuel pipeline are 50 years old and in poor condition. The wooden piles have been attacked by marine borers and deteriorated by wave action. The pier and dolphins have been hit on numerous occasions by barges. These conditions are a cause of concern since the fuel pipe, running along the pier deck, is not property attached to the pier, nor does it have adequate spill containment. Fuel is transferred from barges by a heavy hose manually handled by work crews. This method of transferring fuel poses a potential safery and environmental hazard. The existing pipeline cannot reliably pass hydrostatic pressure testing, creating an environmental concern about its Seire kone-term, isare. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, the installation faces a significant risk of losing its primary means of receiving fuel on base. The unloading of fuel from a dilapidated 50-year-old marine fuel terminal increases the risk of a potential catastrophic pier collapse and resultant fuel spill into a pristine Gulf Coast waterway. The alternate means of fuel receipt by commercial truck deliveries is considerably more costly, manpower intensive, less efficient. ADDITIONAL: An analysis of commercial truck fuel delivery versus the proposed construction concluded that barge delivery, using a restored wharf and new pipeline, was significantly more cost effective than the use of trucks to accomplish the fueling mission. This project meets all applicable DoD criteria. The Director, Defense Logistics Agency, certifies that this facility has been considered for joint-use potential.
