324 RADIOLOGICAL CLEANUP OF ENEWETAK ATOLL certificate to DNA contain two parts: a description of the radiologica| condition of each island and a statement of the uses for which it qualified. !25 QUARANTINE AND THE EIS The issue of quarantine was raised during the crater containment discussion. If the contaminated material was sealed in the crater, and the final in situ survey of Runit showed nohalf-hectare greater than 160 pCi/g, would DOE recommendthat the quarantinebelifted? Mr. Ray responded that he did not believe so because the IMP survey of surface contamination would not be enough. There could be subsurface contamination such that any digging or farming could be dangerous. If the quarantine were continued, Mr. Mitchell remarked that he had no doubt that the people would educate themselves and their children, generation after generation, not to go there. , Mr. Mitchell indicated that he and the people lookedat the dedication of Runit to storage of contaminated debris and soil as a contribution by the people themselves to keeping the cost of the project down. He believed that this should be a significant factor if the agencies had to request more moneyfrom Congress. !26 The conferees returned to the Runit question after discussing the format for DOEcertification. The decision madeearlier to put priority on cleanup of Enjebi could result in leaving concentrations higher than 400 pCi/g on Runit, Lujor, and Boken. The DNA General Counsel advised that substantial deviations from the published EIS would require the preparation of an environmental assessment and, possibly, submission of a supplement to the EIS. Mr. Mitchell concurred and stated that, if a decision were made which resulted in the quarantine of an island or dropping out an island designated for a specific use (because of costs or other reasons), then the impact would probably have to be assessed. The Director, DNA stated that, as an internal matter, DNA would develop and circulate to DOE, DOI, and MLSC an environmental assessment covering the project modifications at the conference (adoption of the Bair Committee criteria, cleanup of Enjebi, and possible quarantines). Based on the comments received, he would decide whether to file a supplement to the EIS.!27 Mr. Mitchell responded that he would prefer that the Director delay, within reason, any decisions that would lead to quarantining an island and rely on good luck or increased funding. He would rather the Director did not make a decision which would require an EIS supplement. !28
