500 RADIOLOGICAL CLEANUP OF ENEWETAK ATOLL from the atoll on the completion of cleanup negated the requirements for expensive, commercial tug and barge lash-ups to clear the atoll. When control of Enewetak Atoll was transferred to DNA in January 1974, a small contingent of base support personnel was in residence there. In Fiscal Year 1976, the base contractor force was enlarged in preparation for the radiological cleanup. To house, feed, and maintain the initia, cleanup forces, Field Command O&M funds were used to enlarge the existing facilities. The O&M activity costs incurred during this expansion project, less the cost of special projects, were used as the base level for continued O&M support of Enewetak during the cleanup. Costs overthis base level for operating the camp with the increased personnel for the cleanup on board were charged to MILCON. During the 3 years of the radiological cleanup project, over 8,000 people were assigned to work on theatoll at one time or another. Thetotalcosts for the radiological cleanup project were $86,778,800, which included: DNA Military Construction .................00. $18,177,400 DNAOperations and Maintenance .............. 19,692,000 AIMY . 06. ccc ccc cence nee e nee etanevnees 33,797,500 Navy oo. c ec ccc cece ete ene e eee e eee ennn eens 7,863,800 Air Force... 0... ccc ccc eee cette eee e anes 3,877,100 Department of Energy ............. 0.0 cc ceeeeeee 3,371,000 In addition to the cleanupcosts, the Departmentofthe Interior spent over 314 million on the Enewetak Rehabilitation Program whichisdiscussedin Chapter 10.
