Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Environmental Assessment

Abstract : Environmental Assessment for Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Currently, Department of Defense (DoD) aviation refueling requirements at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) are supported directly from Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB). The annual average Air Force (AF) JP-8 requirement at CCAFS is 600,000 gallons, but there is no fixed, permanent JP-8 storage at CCAFS. The United States Air Force (USAF) proposes to eliminate the need for transport of fuels from PAFB, an approximate distance of 21 to 32 miles depending on Force Protection conditions. The Proposed Action would enhance fueling services for AF, Navy, and National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) activities at CCAFS and achieve several goals:
