Should the scope of work increase as a result of conducting operations, it may impede accomplishment of the mission.’’330 Dueto this uncertainty in the scope of work, the OPLAN developers, like the CONPLAN developers, did not include in the text any scheduled dates for milestones other than D-Day. The new OPLAN operations schedules had to be hastily prepared and coordinated, with the result that minor errors in scheduling appeared in the timetable for mission accomplishment.33! After the OPLAN was published, the schedules were refined and two new schedule formats were adopted, one for general briefing and the other for detailed planning and briefing. The general cleanup project schedule as of tS March 1977 is shown in Figure 2-10. On some schedules; e.g., Figure 2-10, the mobilization phase is shown as extending from 15 March to 15 November 1977, a period 1977 1978 1979 HM 1980 she Jw dato ts Ppatsfopn ops fe puta fel sts Jafstotnfoy sprints wy sf sjalsfolufols fejmfalm]s MOBILIZATION PHASE i CLEANUP PHAS|! TEAM A SOUTHERN ISLAND CLEANUP PLANNING | ODEMOB PHASE of 8 months. For the purposes of this documentary, this period may be viewed as a 3-month preparatory phase ending on D-Day (during whic h time personnel and material for the cleanup wereidentified, ordered and transported to Enewetak), and a 5-month mobilization phas e following DDay (during which time the base camp swerebuilt or rehabilitated and all on-atoli preparations for the cleanup were made). Comparison of the CONPLAN and OPLA N schedules reveals that the OPLAN allowed more time to prep are the more permanent type base camps (5 months versus 2) and more time to demobilize them (7 months versus 1). Although the 20th Brigade engineers generaily confirmed the accuracy of the Engineering Study and CONPLAN workload estimates by conducting their own survey, they allo wed only 22 months in the OPLAN for actual radiological cleanup and containm ent versus 24 mont hs in the CONPLAN. However, the CONPLA N cleanup estimates included demobilization of the base camps whil e the engineers’ estimates allocated time separately for that function. The OPL AN was based on excision and containment of about 79,000 cubic yard s of contaminated soil (the estimate which appeared in the EIS). The planners believed thai. if it became necessary to expand the scope of work to the possible totals of 125,000 to 200,000 cubic yards mentioned in the CONPLAN, additional money, Manpower, resources and time woul d be required.
