ESTIMATED LIFE-CYCLE COST TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THE N/A ($000) F. EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED 10. Mission or Major Functions: Iceland's location astride the GreenlandIceland-United Kingdom gap affords Navy land-based, anti-submarine forces a stragetic operating airfield and support complex. The Iceland base also supports USAF Airborne (AWACS) and fighter-interceptor units in the air defense mission. Communications facilities provide essential coverage for Naval operating units in the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea. Wartime contingency roles for this base would include critical support to military airlift and air unit augmentation missions. A. Estimated Cost of Backlog of Real Property Maintenance (BMAR) (as of September 30, 1981): 40,470 C. Outstanding Pollution and Safety (OSH) Deficiencies: Two steel underground fuel storage tanks with associated piping and equipments; steel underground fuel distribution pipeline; roads, fencing; electrical utilities. 11. REQUIREMENT: 1,170,000 BL. ADEQUATE: 0 BL. SUBSTANDARD: 410,000 BL. PROJECT: Provides US share of conjunctively funded FY 1983 MILCON/NATO Slice 33 project for the first increment of buried tanks to store pre-positioned jet fuel (JP-4) and a transfer pipeline connecting tanks to dispensing outlets on the airfield. REQUIREMENT: To support US national and NATO (SACLANT and SACEUR) wartime operational plans, a 45-day supply of fuel for aviation and ground operation from the Keflavik airfield must be pre-positioned in hardened (buried) tanks. Also, a deep-water fuel reception and transfer facility is needed on the coast close to the Keflavik base. Total requirement of 1,170,000 barrels of fuel storage will be programmed in seven increments, the first four funded conjunctively. The reception facility will be programmed in FY 1984/slice 34. Overall funding responsibility splits 51% US national and 49% NATO, with 75% of the NATO share programmed in increments one through three. Incrementing is necessary due to the scope of the overall project and the need to assign work to the Iceland Prime Contractor, commensurate with its ability to put work in-place. CURRENT SITUATION: Fuel reception and storage facilities meet neither US nor NATO requirements. There are no deep-water fuel reception facilities. Ocean-going tanker shipments are staged in leased, aboveground Icelandic storage tanks located at Hvalfjordur, a narrow fjord 60 miles North of Keflavik. The fuel is then transported by a small Icelandic coastal barge to the station's storage tanks, which are capable of holding one third of the US/NATO storage requirements. These tanks are over 25 years old, and heavy use and the severe Icelandic climate have accelerated their deterioration to the point that repairs were required in FY's 1979 and 1980. Replacement of existing tankage will be programmed in the later increments of the overall fuel facility program. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Fuel reception and storage facilities in Iceland will be insufficient to meet US and NATO wartime operating needs. ADDITIONAL: Pre-financing under NATO procedures is not planned for this project. The project is partially eligible for NATO infrastructure common funding and to that extent is being proposed for infrastructure funding. The ineligible, US national portion of the project scope is to be conjunctively funded using US military construction funds requested in this project. 90-267 0-82-76 PREVIOUS EDITIONS MAY BE USED INTERNALLY PAGE NO. 229 |
