A POL storage area is located 6 kilometers
(km) southwest of Volkovysk (53-09N 024-28E)
on the east side of the Lida-Warsaw rail line
(Figure 1). The location of the installation
with reference to the rail line indicates that
it is served by a rail spur; however, this could
not be confirmed due to the small scale and
marginal quality of the photography. The in-
stallation is served by an all-weather access
road which connects with the Baranovichi-
Bialystok highway.
The installation covers approximately 30
acres and contains 15 POL storage tanks, four
storage buildings, seven support buildings, and a
probable vehicle park. Immediately south of the
secured area is a closed circuit figure-8 driver
training course.
This area is covered by 11 KEYHOLE mis-
sions between
_ Comparative analysis revealed no change
in facilities and the level of activity appears
unchanged during this period.
