Bair Committee Recommendation
"b.
Removal of 239 Pu contaminated soil is better justified
"c.
The smaller islands may be considered of less concern.
within the range above for the larger islands such as Janet or Sally
where permanent housing may some day be located and for near surface
locations on the larger islands.”
Their long term outlook is uncertain since they are sometimes eroding
away. Snall islands 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."
"d. The amount of effort that properly may be given to soil
removal in this range increases as the soil concentration increases."
b. The Enewetak Atoll Master Plan for Island Rehabilitation and
Resettlement, Volume I, provides the following planned use for islands
(Table 4-1).
(1)
Major Inhabited Islands:
Medren, Enewetak, Japtan.
