FCZ SUBJECT: Bair Committee Recommendation Areas of contamination exceeding the 400 pCi/g level must be excised. Indefinite quarantine indicates that further cleanup is not warranted. 6. Besed on such considerations the following guidance is recommended. a. Highest priorities - Islands of size to be potential residential islenes. These encompass islands of size greater than 50 acres, specifi- callv Exjebi, Aonon/Sijire, and Lujor. Resources permitting, these islends should be cleened to less than 40 pCi/g Pu 239/240 levels. (Conciticn C, OPLAN 6090-77) b. Secondary priorities - Islands of planned intensive agricultural use. These are islenis identified in the Master Plan. In addition to the islends in highest priority, they include Alembel, Lojwa, and Aej. Resources permitting, these islands should be cleaned to less than 100 pCi/g Pu 239/240 levels. (Condition B, OPLAN 600-77) c. Tertiary pricrity - Islands of planned food gathering uSe but whose size provides 2 potential for agricultural use. These are islands generally of 20 to 59 acres in size. While cleanup of levels below 400 pCi/g Pu 239/240 is not required, if resources permit, these islands should be cleanec to levels below 100 pCi/g Pu 239/240. This category includes the islands of Bokoluo, Bokombako, Louj, Boken and Kidrinen. (Condition B, OPLAN 600-7) d. Lowest priority - Islands whose planned use is food gathering and whose size does not provide good potential for residence or agriculture. These are generally islands of less than 20 acres in size. Cleanup of contamination levels below 400 pCi/g Pu 239/240 is not warranted. This priority also applies to the island of Runit insofar as cleanup of areas contaminated to less than 400 pCi/g. 7. Recommendations by CJTG for case-by-case cleanup should be based on the etteched islenc cherts and review of available resources. Keke 1 Encl CHARLES J.
