Located just outside the security fence, approximately 240 feet southeast of the Launch Control Facility support building, are two large sewage lagoons used for treating waste materials produced at the Launch Control Facility. The original sewage lagoon is an open settling basin, 118 feet square, surrounded by an 8-foot-high earthen berm. In 1970-71 an additional lagoon was appended to the southeast corner of the original structure. Although it is similar in construction to the original pond, the new overflow lagoon is irregular in plan, and is considerably larger than the earlier basin.
