6. Category Code 7. Project Number 8. Project Cost ($000) 7029765 IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, air base operations will continue to be hampered by delays in refueling wide-bodied aircraft. Reliance on refueler trucks will increase sortie turnaround times, exhaust equipment and manpower, and create logistical bottlenecks during deployments and contingency operations. ADDITIONAL: An analysis of the status quo versus replacement construction concluded that replacement of the existing system is the only feasible alternative to accomplish the refueling mission. This project meets all applicable DoD criteria. The Director, Defense Logistics Agency, certifies that this facility has been considered for joint-use potential. Mission requirements, operational considerations, and location are incompatible with use by other components A. Equipment associated with this project that will be provided from other appropriations: Point of Contact is Thomas P. Barba at 703-767-35 Form PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO These fuel facilities provide essential fuel storage and distribution systems to support the missions of assigned units of McChord Air Force Base and other contingency operations. Deferred sustainment, restoration, and modernization of fuel facilities at this location is $4.3 million. 10. Description of Proposed Construction: Provide two 12,719 kiloliter (kL) (80,000-barrel) aboveground, steel, fuel storage tanks with impervious containment dikes and basins, overfill protection devices, water drawoff system, internal floating pan, automatic tank gauging system, and other standard tank appurtenances. Construct a 38 liter-per-second (600 gallon-per-minute) transfer pumphouse with fuel filters connected to an existing pumphouse serving other bulk tanks. Work includes cathodic protection systems, fire hydrants, fire detection, utility and sewer connections, perimeter fencing, area lighting, access roads, and generator. Demolish an existing deteriorated 795 kL (5,000-barrel) fuel tank. 11. REQUIREMENT: 229,000 Barrels (BL) ADEQUATE: 69,000 BL SUBSTANDARD: 5,000 BL PROJECT: Construct two aboveground bulk fuel storage tanks to meet McChord AFB's fuel storage requirements. (C) REQUIREMENT: There is a need for greater fuel storage capacity at McChord AFB to support Fort Lewis's Strategic Brigade Airlift mission, the Air Mobility Command's strategic en route airlift requirements, and other operations plans. Without these additional storage tanks, the base fails to meet the fuel storage capacity required in the Joint Chiefs' Fuel Inventory Management Plan. CURRENT SITUATION: McChord AFB has an insufficient amount of on-base fuel storage volume to store the mandated 15-days supply of fuel needed to meet its current missions. The base receives fuel via an underground pipeline that is too small to satisfy the resupply rate needed to match fuel demand during operations and contingencies. The lack of sufficient on-base storage volume also impedes the base's ability to settle fuel received by pipeline to meet Air Force fuel-quality standards before dispensing this fuel to aircraft. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: If this project is not provided, McChord AFB will be unable to meet its current wartime refueling commitments. In addition, the high demand for fuel from an undersized fuel resupply pipeline will have the potential of adversely impacting the quality of fuel issued to aircraft.
