Attachment 2 DRAFT OUTLINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT This is in response to the DNA proposal of December 4, 1972, for a joint AEC-DOD-DOI environmental statement to cover the restor- ation of Eniwetok Atoll. The AEC has considered the tentative environmental statement outline and assignment of responsibilities for drafting particular sections. We recognize that the timing for availability of radiological survey results and radiological assessments, will impose a delay of several months before firm radiological cleanup assumptions can be started. However, it is suggested that much of the outcome of the radiological survey and assessment could be postulated at this time for the purposes of environmental statement drafting with the idea that those postulated matters would be confirmed in the final environmental statement. On this basis, the AEC will initially assume for the draft statement: 1. that the radiological survey findings for radionuclides of other than plutonium will be comparable to those encountered at Bikini for similarly situated islands; 2. that the radiological survey findings for plutonium will not show serious contamination problems at locations other than Runit (and possibly Engebi) Islands; CONFIRMED TO BE UNCLASSJ FLED AUTHORITY: DOE/SA~?70 BY G D99 j _ A pairs 3105/3 9f Pe Ty eee 02045
