The following guidance is provided for this evaluation:
a. Islands with soil levels in the above range may be divided
into two categories, those of sufficient size for construction
of permanent houses, and those that are not.
b. Removal

the range above for the larger islands such as JANET*Or” <2, +n,

and
c. The smaller islands may be considered of less concern, Their
_long-term outlook is uncertain since they are sometimes increasing in size and sometimes erroding away. Small islanda
may be washed over by storm waves and are not a safe site
for permanent housing. From that viewpoint, they are in
the same category as unnamed sandbars along the reef where
other islands may have disappeared or be forming.
‘ad. The amount of effort that properly may be given to soil re<
moval in this rane increases as the soil concentration
increases.
e. Once an action is taken, the objective is to achieve a substantial reduction in plutonium soil concentrations, and
further, to reduce concentrations to the lowest practicable level,
not to reduce them to some prescribed numerical value.
