MCCLELLAN: The rest of We're going to change subjects now. CHAIRMAN MOSELEY: Later today in the wrap-up, am I correct to assume that Bruce Church is going to give us a little bit of a feeling where:this is going from here in, e.g., the internal dose area? CHAIRMAN-MOSELEY: That's what is being scheduled. MR. CHURCH: Th going to talk somewhat about that. OR. MCCLELLANE:| L'm interested in having some time to discuss that. DR. MILLER: 10 This turned out to be one of the more fun things of the sortof patd vacations. We visited eastern California, 1l project so far; i2 Nevada, northern Utah, i3 Wyoming, western Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, and northern Arizona, 14 looking for candidate soil 15 locations. 16 triangles beside them, 17 taken (FM-2). 117 19 26 southeastern Oregon, samptingsites. southern Idaho, We found 306 of them at 132 Many locations had multiplecandidate sites. ‘locations. southwestern The towns with like Montrose, “Rifle and Meeker, had soil samples I think there were about 190soil samples taken from about Livermore rejected some— ofour soil sampling site candidates and substituted others so that the 306—isn't really fixed. We tried to select soil sampling sites which met the EML criteria In brief, the areas EML were interested 21 which you got in Standing Order 4. 22 in were undisturbed, and yet maintained since 1950, -at--least 40 feet in 23 diameter, relatively flat and open and with ground cover” such as grass to 24 minimize wind or water erosion. 25 that would serve as collection points due to rain bringing in fallout. 26 We also watched forlow places in lawns We ranked these candidate sites as either "A," "B,“ or "CC." "A" 27 meaning, meets the EML criterion every way we knew; “B" meaning slight 28 deviation from optimality which might mean some trees in the lawn, or the 71
