     Parking facilities will handle 10 cars.

 
     The Refueling Station includes a bulk storage and loading facility and a 150,000 gallon tank farm.  Eventual expansion will bring the capacity to 500,000 gallons and also allow the storage of aviation fuel.

     A pumping facility delivers fuel oil to the dock for the fishing fleets and also provides fuel to the power plant. The reverse flow capability allows deliveries of oil from tankers to the fuel storage area.

     Kerosene and gasoline are transported to Rongelap Atoll in 55 gallon drums and stored in 5,000 gallon tanks.
