The following guidance is provided for this evaluation: a. Islands with soil levels in the above range may be divided into two categories, those of sufficient size for construction of permanent houses, and those that are not. b.

The smaller islands may be considered of less concern, Their _long-term outlook is uncertain since they are sometimes increasing in size and sometimes erroding away. Small islanda may be washed over by storm waves and are not a safe site for permanent housing. From that viewpoint, they are in the same category as unnamed sandbars along the reef where other islands may have disappeared or be forming. ‘ad. The amount of effort that properly may be given to soil re< moval in this rane increases as the soil concentration increases. e. Once an action is taken, the objective is to achieve a substantial reduction in plutonium soil concentrations, and further, to reduce concentrations to the lowest practicable level, not to reduce them to some prescribed numerical value. 3.
