The Boyers facility serves as a secure storage site for federal records from various agencies, including the Civil Service Commission and the Social Security Administration. Designed for disaster resilience, it is equipped to handle nuclear fallout with emergency food supplies for workers. The establishment of a dedicated access point off Interstate 80 underscores the facility's readiness for crises. Additionally, former mines offer unique benefits such as seclusion, fire protection, and immunity from various natural and human threats, making them ideal for essential record preservation.
Along with the Civil Service Commission, other federal agencies began storing records in the Boyers facility around the same time, aiming to protect vital documents from nuclear fallout.
If a nuclear explosion occurred, the mine would be safely sealed off, and employees would have access to a 30-day supply of food and supplies.
The federal government built an exit off Pennsylvania's Interstate 80 specifically for 'quick access to the mine in case of an emergency,' highlighting the importance of rapid response.
Repurposed mines offer excellent fire protection and immunity from natural disasters, theft, and civil disorder, making them ideal for record storage.
