| CHAPTER 7 SOIL CLEANUP OPERATIONS BULK-HAUL TEST DIRECTIVE TG) on 15 May1978, Field Commandinstructed the Joint Task Group by nitiate the following actions to implement the decisions made DM Monroe, Director, Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), at the 4 May 1978 conference:! . ; Utility (LCU) and one Landing Craft, a. Convert one Landing Craft, Mechanized (LCM-8) for bulk haul, and conduct an evaluation test of the bulk-haul system including radiological control and safety. p. Begin preparation of plans to excise contaminated material from the Aomon Crypt. Proceed with removal of contaminated soil over 80 pico curies per gram (pCi/g) on Aomon (Sally) Istand. Concurrently, begin soil cleanup on Enjebi (Janet) Island, commencing with the areas of highest contamination, and working toward 40 pCi/g maximum surface contamination. qd. Prepare a plan for refilling the Pacific Cratering Experimenttest bed. e. Concurrently with other operations, begin cleanup of contaminated soil over 160 pCi/g on Runit (Yvonne) Island, using equipment available at Runit for other activities when not in use on those activities. f, Segregate contaminated soil into three stockpiles on Runit: One containing soil excised from areas contaminated to levels over 1,000 pCi/g (based on soil samples); one for soil excised from areasof less than 1,000 pCi/g (based on soil samples), or from areas with in situ van (IMP) readings greater than 160 pCi/g; and one containing soil excised from areas contaminated to lower levels. BULK-HAUL TEST RESUMES As directed in early June 1978, the JTG resumedtesting the bulk-haul system for transporting contaminatedsoil. The test used the LCM-8 which had been modified in April 1978. The purpose of the test was to determine the ability of the modifications to withstand heavy equipment operations, the degree and extent of watercraft contamination, decontamination procedures and durations; and radiological safety for personnel and equipment. In implementing the test, it was imperative that boats be 327
