The Craney Island Fuel Terminal in Portsmouth (USA) first opened in 1918 primarily for storage of aviation fuel, diesel fuel and lube oil. Operated by the Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP), Craney Island Fuel Terminal is now the U.S. Navy's largest fuel depot in the continental United States. Storage includes 60 tanks, which are a combination of underground storage tanks, and aboveground storage tanks in addition to over 100 miles of pipeline. The Fleet Industrial Supply Center (FISC) provides fuel, lubricants and fuel-related service to approximately 256 fleet and industrial customers with an average throughput of 15 million barrels of fuel per year. The primary products on site are jet fuel, aviation turbine fuel, diesel fuel and lube oil. Many of the fuel tanks on site were underground and leaking, with no way of capturing spills. As a result, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command-Atlantic Division (NAVFAC) decided to issue two separate contracts to update the underground storage tanks with new aboveground storage tanks including a secondary containment system by use of geosynthetic liners (geomembranes). In this article, the history of the two contracts is reported to.
