(7) Survey points are reestablished. (8) The in-situ van again obtains readings. (9) The DOE/ERSP again calculate the concentrations of surface concentrations ee of surface contamination and recommends areas (10) e. for future removal. The process is iterative until standards are met. Much of the time of the operations section was spent in developing ways to maximize the amount of soil and debris that could be moved with current assets. The concept of a side by side self propelled causeway evolved in an effort to eliminate the slow off loading of debris by crane mounted on the YC barge. The dump trucks could dump directiy off the side of the causeway. Work started but was not completed. By the end of the quarter it became obvious that priority of effort mst go to soil removal and that 20 ton dump trucks should no longer be used to haul debris. Efforts to complete the side by side causeway were suspended. The concept of bulk haul of debris with LCM 8 was implemented by covering the deck and sides with timber to protect the boat. This more than doubled the debris hauled per trip. The concept of bulk haul of soil using LCM 8 and LCU was implemented with one LCM 8 during the quarter. The initial concept of converting the LCM 8 was not successful due to difficulties in decontamination. Revised scheme was highly successful. The original scheme to convert the LCU for bulk haul was modified based on lessons learn- ed with the LCM 8. The conversion of the LCU was complete at the end of the quarter. Bulk haul with LCU was scheduled to begin 7 July 1978. f. The major change in operational priorities developed during the quarter was the recognition that soil removal must receive priority of assets and debris dumping in the lagoon would be allowed to strech out over a longer period. 2. Problem. Development of plans for inovative techniques was done with limited input from other -elements of the JTG. a. Explanation. The best example of this problem was the initial conversion of LCM 8 for bulk haul of contaminated soil. RadCon division was not in on the planning. b. Corrective action taken. All interested parties are brought in for planning sessions, eCOeeee c. Lesson learned. in isolation, Relearned the age old maxim that no staff section can work
