From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Defense Fuel Support Point Ozol (DFSP Ozol) is located at Ozol, California, US along the Carquinez Strait. It is a jet fuel bulk storage and transfer terminal operated by contractors on behalf of the Defense Logistics Agency's Defense Fuel Supply Center,^[1] which was renamed DLA - Energy in 1977.

During its last active years, DFSP Ozol was responsible for the purchase and truck transportation of JP-5 and JP-8 petroleum needs of ANG Fresno, ANG Klamath; CGAS San Francisco, ANG Reno, Travis AFB, and FAA Sacramento.^[2]

Background

The terminal was built in the 1940s, and was not in service as of 2000.^[3] The facility today covers 76 acres^[4] and has a storage capacity of one million barrels of jet fuel using twelve underground tanks that are hardened to withstand nuclear attack. The nuclear-hardened facility was constructed in 1959 by the Holley Corporation and leased to the federal government until the Air Force purchased the facility in 1980.^[5] DLA has managed the facility since 1980, and Tenco Services, Inc., operated it under contract from 1990 through 1999,^[1] when the facility was placed in closure mode.

DFSP Ozol is served by a ship port, an interstate pipeline and a railroad terminal. The waterfront pier is 880 feet long with 40 feet of depth alongside. It is located 270 feet offshore, with a connecting pier to the shore.^[3] The DFSP is connected to the Kinder Morgan SFPP (Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline) interstate pipeline.^[3]^[6] It is adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad's Martinez Subdivision, however the spur track to the railcar loading racks has been disconnected from the main line.
