SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:

The purpose of the Hydrant Area C Fueling Facilities project is to provide a Type III jet fuel hydrant

system for the Washington ANG at Fairchild AFB. The 141 ARW does not have adequate fueling facilities to support its federal and state missions. The 141 ARW has been located on Fairchild AFB since 1976. The 141 ARW is based on property licensed to the Washington ANG for the purposes of training airmen to respond to state and federal missions during peace and wartime. The bed‐down from Geiger Airfield (Spokane International Airport) to Fairchild AFB was necessary for the new mission of KC‐135 aircraft, which continues to be the current mission. In 2007, as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act, the 141 ARW entered into a Classic Association for the KC‐135 aircraft with the 92 ARW, the host wing on Fairchild AFB.

The specific scope includes, but is not limited to:

Two 10,000 blue barrel (bbl). jet fuel tanks
One 2,400 GPM pumphouse
Two truck offloads
Two truck fillstands
One 10” transfer line
One 12” hydrant loop
Eight hydrant pits
Various site fuel piping
An 8-position truck refueler parking area
Potential for truck filling stations, offloading stations, and refueler parking area stations with canopies
