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 nKEYHOLE mis-
sions
I IComparative analysis revealed no change
in facilities and the level of activity appears
unchanged during this period.
The installation is located on the east side
of the Lida-Warsaw rail line, but service by a
rail spur is undetermined.
An all-weather road provides access to the
Baranovichi-Bialystok Highway.
Area E contains four storage buildings
apparently in use.
Area G contains two vertical tanks 75 feet
in diameter, five vertical tanks 35 feet in dia-
meter, and eight vertical tanks 20 feet in dia-
meter. A rectangular excavation is also loca-
ted in this area. Its function cannot be de-
Seven support buildings are located within
the secured area.
Area J is a 480- by 185-foot probable vehicle
park. Two rows of unidentified objects (pos-
sibly vehicles) are visible onF7hotography.
Area M is a closed circuit figure-8 wheeled
vehicle driver training course located just out-
side the secured area.
