Pla nning and Programming 103 The stockpiling of all r.adiological recommendations of Case 3 of the EIS. scrap was discussed, and ERDA indicated that there would have to be a radioactivity when firm requirement to monitor these materials for in Honolulu to 1975 y Februar 14 for d propose was collected. A meeting further consider cleanup and rehabilitation interfaces.!179 At that conference, which has been described previously, POD was asked to Foe ee et concentrate on designing crater entombment and to defer work on engineering design of thecleanup work itself. 180 From this point on, Corps of Engineers’ participation in the project was limited to providing some base camp rehabilitation, designing the crater containment, and providing necessary permits. Field Command’s Enewetak Planning Group compiled a series of Concept Plans (CONPLANs) based on input from the Hawaii group, budget guidance from HQ DNA, and results of their own staff coordination and planning. These CONPLANSsprovided basic concepts, policies, and procedures for review and approval by the JCS and development of an implementing operationsplan. The first CONPLAN developed was for a JTG using troops to accomplish the cleanup, with civilian contractors to rehabilitate and construct base camps, operate and maintain the base camps, provide radiological support, and accomplish the crater containment. LTG Johnson was briefed on the plan during his visit to Hawaii in March 1975. Upon his approval, it was completed by the Field Command Enewetak Planning Group and issued with a blue cover in April 1975. Total cost under this CONPLAN wasestimated at $30.6 million.!8! Although this “blue”? CONPLAN was to undergo numerous, majorrevisions, it formed the basis for the final CONPLAN which was to control the cleanup. Anticipating that a plan using troops alone would be required to further reduce project costs, COL Esser and the Field Command Enewetak Planning Group developed a second CONPLAN using a JTG of military personnel for all cleanup and support work. It also was printed in April 1975 but with a redcover.It reflected a significant increase in man-years to accomplish the work with troops alone (122 man-years) as opposed to a mixed work force (91 man-years); however, it reduced MILCONcosts to an estimated $20.4 million.!82 In the event Congress did not authorize enough fundsto cover the ‘‘blue’? CONPLAN, DNA would be prepared to respond with the ‘‘red’? CONPLAN. MILITARY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM:1974 - 1975 In March 1975 (prior to completion of the CONPLANs), DNA furnished Congress new estimates of the total costs for cleanup and
