Page 2-1, Lines 14-15 - Should also include the fact that removal and disposal
of plutonium-bearing soil in the 40-400 picocuries per gram range will be
decided on a case-by-case basis. Suggest also include the following change:

“Removal and disposal of plutonium-bearing soil which exceeds 400 picocuries

per gram at all locations and 40 picocuries per gram on islands where housing

may someday be located.

.

Page 2~2, lines 9-10 - the conclusion that plutonium debris will be encrypted
in the LaCrosse crater seems premature at this point in the DEIS. Recommend
deletion of this sentence.
Page 6-4, lines 10-11 - Recommend substitution of the words “appropriate
disposal" in place of entombment with the radioactive scrap in LaCrosse center"

and recommend deletion of the rest of the page.

The text, as written, assumes

that the entombment disposal action will be adopted.

*.

Page 6-8, lines 10-11 - Recommend substitution of the words "and stored for

eventual disposal" in place of “encapsulated in concrete in one or both of the
craters on Runit."
Pages 8-29 and 8-30, Sections 8.18 and 8.19. Recommend that the ocean dumping
option be left open as another possibility for disposal.
Page 11-1, lines 4-5. In referring to disposal at sea, this sentence is
inconsistent with previous discussions in the DEIS concerning Pu contamination
disposal. However, recommend that this ocean dumping option be retained as a
possibility for disposal.
