The Enewetak Rehabilitation Program \ 513 away from the homes and lens wells, and central disposal! pits for non- biodegradable waste. Electric power requirements would belimited to the radio transceiver and low-level lighting in the school, recreation building, dispensary, cooperative store, and council house. A 2-kilowatt generator appeared adequate for each community’s electrical needs. 15 Subsequent actions by the Enewetak Planning Council and by the various government agencies involved in the restoration of Enewetak resulted in many minor changes to the rehabilitation program as it appeared in the March 1975 Master Plan. The basic concepts of the plan remained valid, however, and it proved invaluable in supporting DOI’s requests to Congress for authorization and funding of the Enewetak Rehabilitation Program. OTHER PLANS AND PREPARATIONS: 1974 - 1978 : During the early planning stages, when it was assumedthat the cleanup of Enewetak would be accomplished by contractor forces engaged and supervised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Pacific Ocean Division (POD), it was proposed that the same POD contractor accomplish the construction for the Rehabilitation Program.!6.!? This would have minimized mobilization, logistics, and demobilization costs and would have provided for a more integrated, efficient restoration effort. The Congressional proposal! in 1975 to use military troop labor and equipment for the cleanupproject raised the issues of whether the POD and the military resources would be used to accomplish some of the Rehabilitation Program work as well.!8 It was decided that H&N, acting as DOI’s and TTPI’s agent, would develop, advertise, award, and administer a contract for the construction and agricultural development work and would negotiate with Field Commandforjoint use of military resources to reduce overall costs to the Government.!9 While efforts proceeded to identify possible efficiencies and savings, no firm commitments could be made until Field Command was formally provided funds and military resources for the Cleanup Project.20.21,22,23 On 18 August 1976, shortly after Cleanup Project funds were - : 3 ' appropriated, Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Nelson, of H&N, visited Field Commandto coordinate plans for support and accomplishment of the rehabilitation program. It was agreed that existing supportfacilities at the main base on Enewetak Camp, suchas the dining hall, base exchange, and utilities, would be expanded at TTPI’s expense to support TTPI contractor personnel. It also was agreed that TTPI would provide intra-atoll transportation for Rehabilitation Program personnel, and intra-atoll transportation of their equipment and cargo would be provided by DOD
