Certainly one consideration would be the impact or One Rehabilitation Program if the cleanup project were extended 6 on - It might be that the Departmentof the Interior (DOT could not rr lete construction on Enewetak because the JTG wasstill using the vom as an active base camp. Mr. Gilmore, of Holmes & Narver, Moaded that he could not estimate the impact because the scope of re pilitation work still was being changed by the dri-Enewetak Planning Council He asked whether the extent of soil cleanup would be determined py the time and resources available or whether the time and resources should be determined by the amount ofsoil that had to be removed. The Director, DNA respondedthat he did not consider either approach as an absolutely immutable one. Hestill was not convinced thatavailable time and resources could not produce a cleanup which metall criteria, and he would make any decisions on compromises should they be necessary. The possibility of increased radiological safety problems from bulk haul were discussed at length. It was pointed out that contaminated soil handling had been carried out on the sameislands for the last 6 months and that all detection measuresutilized had failed to identify any problem. Apparently, resuspended plutonium, if it did exist, existed in such reduced quantities that it could not be detected. Colonel! Darrell McIndoe, USAF, Director of AFRRI, and the senior memberof the Enewetak Radiological Sulety Audit and Inspection Team (RSAIT), expressed his belief that the plutonium resuspension problem would not be any greater with the bulkhaul procedure if normal engineering procedures and_ radiological protection measures were followed. Mr. Bruce Church, DOE-NV, pointed out that a considerable amount of 500 pCi/g soil had been excised in the pilot soil removal project. By the time it had been windrowed, loaded on trucks, offloaded at the beach, and reloaded on trucks for transport to Runit, the concentrations were only about 100 pCi/g. He also remarked that the radiological exposure for a person working on an island for 6 months or even a year was completely different than that for a person who resided there for a lifetime. He felt that the radiation protection practices in force at Enewetak were far more than adequate for the actual radiological situation, The Navy representatives proposed that one LCU and one LCM-8 be modified and tested for 30 days after which, depending on test results, —acatnmme,
