c. As clearing operations provide entry into heavily vegetated area, bio/environmental samples such as vegetation, soil cores and ground water will be taken as appropriate at Bikini Atoll and returned to the laboratory : for analysis. d. Collection of debris and disposal will be performed by the AEC contractor. Disposal will be in water of sufficient depth such that the scrap material will be unavailable to the. returning population. e. On Enyu, particular attention during clearing operations will be given to the old aircraft decontamination pad located near the three piers and marked with radiation warning signs. The metal scrap pile will also be monitored closely during removal. f. All facilities that are to remain and all sites of former scientific warehouses and docks will be given particular monitoring attention during clean-up. g. If during clearing and removal operations, it is determined that working conditions are not safe, work will cease and personnel will be removed from the work location until the CJTG 8.8 makes a decision on procedures to be followed. The On-Site Radiological Safety Officer, and the NVOO Safety Advisor or his representative, wili assist the commander in these decisions. Protective clothing and respirators will be available and used when indicated. ‘ h. Following clearing and scrap removal operations, the AEC will evaluate the results obtained, will review the monitoring and sample analysis data, and will determine what, if any, additional restrictions or precautions may be needed in order to certify that Bikini Atoll is now safe for return of the population. This certification will be provided through the NVOO Safety Advisor. 6. Deployment. a. Initial deployment of personnel and equipment will be made from Johnston Atoll on the first sea lift on or about 10 Feb.
