Command Briefing by JTG staff.
Command structure doesn't have direct control over operational activities.
Must go through series commanders.

Op plan 600-77 is controlling authority.
Major tasks;

I.

Clean-up debris falls in 3 categories:
Contaminated material to crater (red)
Contaminated material to lagoon (yellow)
Leave as is

II.
IIL.

(green)

Reduce surface contamination to 40-80-160 criteria.
Special activities:

Contaminated bunkers
JTG is sealing some bunkers on Enjebi, rather than removing
them (by sealing the entrance to the bunkers, they feel that
they are "removing the hazard" such that it is "not a hazard").
Aomon crypt
Pace crater (court order to restore contours)

Plowing experiment
IV.

Island Status
Some are ready for certification.
All others in process of being cleaned-up--except one (Walt)
A limiting factor in soil removal is transport across the
lagoon.

By 6/1/79 80K yds3 should be moved (originally estimated at

69K yds3)

Accelerated schedule is maintained by Navy crews working
12-21 hrs/day and by the use of bulk loading techniques.
