yy 489 Demobilization Pe Navy inspectors initially determined that eight of the watercraft were sufficiently serviceable to warrant consideration for return after the project. Further analysis at COMNAVSURFPAC eliminated seven of those, leaving only one YC barge to be returned at the end of the rollup effort. The remaining watercraft were transferred to Field Command for local disposal or redistribution to other Pacific area activities. The only major items identified by the Air Force for retrograde were the communications equipment, two POL trucks, and the aircraft loading equipment.39 During the joint survey, decisions were made for disposition of most of the materiel which would be remaining at the end of the project. Jointly funded recreation equipment was to be distributed among the Services for use at other military reservations. Much of the equipment purchased for the base camps by Field Command wasto be shipped to Johnston Atoll to replace unserviceable and obsolete items there. A water distillation unit, generator, and several trailers were identified for use in expanding the MPRL and makingit self-sufficient, since it would remain in service on the atoll. Much of the medical, food service, laundry, and other institutional equipment was identified for transfer to other United Statesfunded programs at Kwajalein Missile Range, Majuro Atoll, and other locations in the TTPI. Innumerable items of furniture and supplies which could be used by the dri-Enewetak were to be stored in buildings or open storage areas designated by the Municipal Council. By the end ofthe joint survey, it appeared that almostall of the equipment to be returned to the military services could be retrograded,if it was not required for cleanup of the Enewetak base camp,on the Januarysealift.40 ENEWETAK (FRED) ISLAND CLEANUP Enewetakis the largest island in the atoll. It consists of 322 acres and was the DOD support base during the nuclear test period. The Engineering Study identified 310 Master Index items and 27,513 cubic yards of noncontaminated debris for disposal. Enewetak was scheduled to be used ‘ ~ | ‘ as a residence by the dri-Enewetak.41.42 Efforts to clean up Enewetak Island began in March 1976, when base camp facilities were prepared to support a steady increase in population, and continued through the Mobilization Phase (Chapter 3). Approximately 22,000 cubic yards of commercial scrap was removed from the island by the salvage contractor in 1978. Almost 5,000 man-hours of cleanup work on the island were accomplished by TTPI’s rehabilitation contractor in exchange for rehabilitation work accomplished by the JTG on the northern islands.43 JTG element efforts to remove debris from
