Support requirements for the collection, preparation, and ship- ment of approximately 1,800 soil, vegetation, and small animal samples are also anticipated. REECo handling of NAEG data is currently limited to soil, vegetation, and small animal data. For the past several months, REECo has been in the process of recruiting an Environmental Analyst to input and proof NAEG Data Bank data. REECo handling of large animal sample data is currently pending approval of NV management. Considerable REECo engineering field support is expected to be required to support proposed decontamination and treatment studies, and surveying and mapping for intensive study of nuclear sites, scheduled to begin during the last half of Fiscal Year 1976. 163
