support area.
the operations area consists of a double-fencedarcaof
approximately 48.5 acres containing the dual IIEN HOUSE,
type structures, with their associated central control build-
ing, and 8 operational support buildings. The support area
consists of 74 buildings and structures, or buildings under
construction, and is approximately 0.5 min generally south
of the operations area.

structures are on the north and west corners of the central

SUPPORT AREA
'1 lie Support area consists of,housing and storage bill ld-
ings, a water supply facility, a power substation, and a
sewage disposal plant. There are 74buildings,or structures;
an Increase of 26 since the report of-of which
13 are new and 13 are newly observed on the large-scale
photography. Dimensions and descriptions may be'found In
Figure 2.
the main water supply facility Is in2parts: a probable
water treatment plant and a water pumping station. The
treatment plant consists of I approximately
building, 2 approximately - semiburied
probable sedimentation. basins, and an approximately -
foot diameter standpipe of undetermined height. Thepuml--
ing station consists of 2 buildings on the shore of the lake
cast of the treatment plant. A pipeline scar can be seen
between the 2 facilities, as can additional scars from the
treatment plant to the operations area and 1uarious parts of
the support area. A second probable water supply facility
is southeast of the primary pumping station. This smaller
facility is evidenced by an approximately diameter
intake it the ekeand fhe pipeline scar leading from the
intake to the support area.
A power substation under construction Is Situatedatthe
Southeast extremity of the support area. This facility and
the powerlines leading Into It are the subject of a separate
report (in preparation under NPIC Project 11125/65),
'I he -1 buildings, however, have been Included in Figure 2.
A probable Sewage treatment plant Is being constructed
south of the main road. It consists of 2 approximately=
foot diameter probable digesters, a sewage treatment and
pumping station, and 3 small support buildings.
