and the nextfor visiting and food gathering (Figure 2-2).105

The cleanup and rehabilitation alternatives considered in the DEIS Were

based on three possible cleanup actions and four habitation plans, The
cleanupactions wereidentified as:
I.
No cleanup.
II. Removal of all hazardous, obstructive, and radioactive. SCrap,

plutonium concentrations greater than 400 pCi/g from four

islands, Lujor (Pearl), Aomon, Boken, and Runit; and other Soil
with plutonium concentrations between 40 and 400 pCi/g on a

case-by-case basis.
