one day the island can be resettled. There appear to be two possible approaches: a. Soil removal followed by studies with test plantings to determine whether exposure for Enjebi residents would be within acceptable criteria. b. Conduct of studies using test plantings to determine when exposures would be within acceptable criteria but no soil removed. In either case, housing construction and planting of subsistence and commercial crops would be deferred wtil research with test plantings showed acceptably low levels of radioactivity. The Task Group recommends the second approach as one having minimal adverse impact on the island environment. The research program in 3 above should also include a determination of radioactivity levels in,comieand other food crops produced on PEARL, CLARA, ALICE, and BELLE. YVONNE should also be included after removal of plutonium contaminated soil. All radioactive scrap metal and contaminated debris identified during the Holmes and Narver Engineering Survey should be removed. If additional contaminated debris is discovered in the course of cleanup and rehabilitation operations, it too should be removed. Specifically included in this recommendation are the three locations on SALLY and one on ELMER where contaminated debris is known to be buried.
