A little help with "piscina" in the below context, please:

Tratamiento de aproximadamente 2084 m3 de lodos de perforación y traslado hacia piscina exterior. Anályisis de lodos, cumpliendo los reglamentos Ambientales vigentes para luego estabilizar este, mezclando con material de préstamo y taponamiento.

Does "piscina" translate as "pit" in this context?

This relates to an environmental audit of oil wells.

Thanks in advance.

basin/pond


Explanation:
es el término que siempre se usa por acá. Existen diferentes tipos de piscinas, que van desde "pond" que son específicamente los de tierra y basin que se usa más bien para las hechas de hormigón, pero basin es un término general que puede usarse para ambos casos.
