The study of these refineries was made on all available photographic coverage for the period, with emphasis on the identification of major areas and developments within the installations. The Drogobych Petroleum Refinery No. 1 (Polmin) is located approximately 1.5 nm east of the center of town at the approximate geographic coordinates 49 21N - 23 33E and is adjacent to the railroad yards and shops (Figures 1 through 4). The plant is triangular in shape with dimensions of its perimeter approximately 3,000 feet on each side and is orientated northeast/southwest. It is served by road and the Drogobych - Sambor Railroad. The following annotations are keyed to Fi gure 11: a. R ail loading and unloading facilities f. Waste water separators b.

Coverage Ishows the renovated Polish Refinery, Polmin (Figure 12). five new finished products tanks (c) were constructed southwest of the waste water separators and four probable crude storage tanks (h) had been added to the northeast section outside the old perimeter (Figure 11). Also in the northern section of the plant along the rail line there were ground scars and the beginning of new construction (i). The four probable crude storage tanks had been secured from the rest of the plant and the new construction was in the middle stage of completion on coverage of (Figure 10), r __J the new section appeared 25X to have been completed but its function could not be identified (Figure 13).

The plant consists of three sections - two of these being the old Polish refineries, Galicja. and Spolka, and the third, a new section. Approximate measurements are as follows (Figure 6): Section Name Length 1 Spolka 1,800' 2 Galicja 7,560' 3 New section 4,700' 1,510, 1,800' Shape Rectangular Rectangular Rectangular The orientation of the Galicja and Spolka Plant is east/west. It is served by road and a. spur of the Drogobych - Sambor Railroad. The following annotations are keyed to Figure 5: 25X1 a. Storage and packaging area, b.

(Figure a distillation and 25X1 light ends unit (m) and fourteen crude storage tanks (k) were observed to be in late stages of construction. A dry, probable waste pond was noted at 25X1 the southwestern end of the new construction (Figure 7). No apparent change 25X1 in facilities was noticed within the plant area on photography however, the probable waste pond appeared to be in use (Figure 25X1 25X1 On photography of the area for expansion at the Galicja plant had been secured and new construction had begun (1). Construction activity has been noted in the Spolka. refinery However, poor quality and small scale of the photography precluded identification of this activity. 25X1 I 25X1 25X1 t Approved For Relea a0@ IA WI CIA-RDP78T05161A001200010046-6 ved For RelQasQ. 200=01f 1: CIA-RD TOP SK I 25X1 Approve For ReleaI?P0ER&: CIA-RDP78T05161 A001 200010046- PIR 75063 Figure 14 shows petroleum storage pits to the southeast and southwest of the Drogobych complex.
