Slaking large quantities of quick lime?

We're getting closer to buying property to eventually build on, so I'm trying to figure out what all needs to happen asap once we have the property.

We will hopefully be buying property on a small island in the San Juan islands of Puget Sound/Salish Sea which means that getting building materials to our site is somewhat more complicated and expensive than a lot of other locations.

I think it makes sense to slake quick lime on site for the project and i expect that we will be plastering most of the interior and possibly some of the exterior.

I know that a lot of folks use 55gal barrels for slaking lime, but I'd prefer to avoid bringing extra stuff onto the island that we would eventually need to dispose of.

I've tried to read up on tradition methods that I've seen referenced, but haven't been able to find much information.

Does anyone know how lime was slaked in pits? I'm assuming the pit would need to be lined with clay or something to keep the water from running out, and I'd probably want to cover it to keep it from dehydrating. Maybe I'd also need to fence it to keep people from accidentally going in? If seems like there's a high chance that dirt and other debris would end up in it, so I'm wondering how that was dealt with historically.

Maybe the lime slurry is too basic and I would regret doing this to the land?
