Salt Storage & Fueling Station

Project Purpose

Construct a new fueling station and upgrade our current salt structure at Freedom Fields. Currently, a 750-ton salt structure at Freedom Fields that is used by our crews during winter events to reload trucks with salt. With the population growth and additional lane miles in the western part of the community, this structure is inadequate for use during a typical winter event. Replacing this structure with a larger 2,000-ton structure will improve efficiency and response to these neighborhoods. As the community continues to grow, it is inefficient to have only one fueling station for staff to refuel their vehicles and equipment. The current fueling station is located at 7700 Cottonwood. This additional fueling station will also improve fuel efficiencies and reduce staff travel time to refuel.

Project Description

The salt structure will be replaced with a new 2,000-ton fabric structure, enhanced calcium chloride tanks and a new fueling station consisting of two diesel and two gasoline pumps. The fueling station will have a rain canopy with self-contained double lined above ground tanks. New pavement will be placed and the site will be fenced with access control capabilities. In addition, trees will be placed around the site for additional screening from neighboring properties.
