encapsulated in another section to be added to the lagoon side of the
Cactus Crater extension. The new section would be designed to hold all
red debris on hand and any additional debris that might appear through
March 1980, and would be capped with an 18-inch concrete cover. Red
debris would be collected and stockpiled until mid-February, at which time
the USAE would construct the container and encapsulate the debris on
hand. Space would beleft unfilled to allow for encapsulation of any debris
discovered after military forces were drawn downin February. At the end
of March, just prior to project completion, the base support contractor
would encapsulate any debris on hand and cap the new annex, conforming
with the design and aesthetics of the previous extension. The second
extension was constructed in February 1980 and consisted of
approximately 13 cubic yards of space. Approximately 4 cubic yards of red

debris were enclosed and slurried in place. On 3! March 1980, H&N

returned to Runit, encapsulated an additional cubic yard of debris which

had been collected in the interim, and capped thefacility (Figure 8-52).
