JANUARY 3, 1978 THRGUGH FEBRUARY 15, 1978 Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) and the University of Hawaii have DOE sponsored programs involving the sampling, measurement, and cylcing characteristics of radionuclides in soil, water and biota. These investigations are aimed at producing results which will better enable the United States Government to fulfill its commitments to rehabilitate Marshall Island Atolls for the safe use by the former To continue ongoing groundwater and core sampling; to perform chemical and radiochemical water analysis and to analyze lagoon circulation. The results will contribute greatly to providing the basis for information which will enable returning inhabitants to live in III . DESCRIPTION OF MISSION 1. Take groundwater samples on Enjebi, Enewetak and Japtan. 2. Run an air sampler on Enjebi for two weeks, and 3. Take reef samples. 1. Drill test wells on Enjebi and obtain core samples of water table 2. Perform hydrologic tests and measurements on above wells. 3. Sample in conjunction with LLL, old and new wells for chemical and radiochemical analysis; and 4. Sample selected wells on Enewetak and Medren. 1. Measure lagoon circulation using drogues. 2. Insure operational status of lagoon and ocean tide gauge measure4. Insure salinity and evaporation measuring is underway.

Rad-safe - Request JTG-RCC permission for Party Chief to carry out rad safe monitoring on En]”ebi in same manner performed by LLL Garden Program personnel. 6. Other - It is highly desirable that there be no blasting or burning during the period of this mission. a. Ship Whaler and engine to H&N/Enewetak c/o Clayton Mitsui for arrival prior to January 10th. b. Ship air compressor off L.CUto Enewetak (same as above). c. Ship inflatable boat and small motor as above. LLL efforts are funded through a Request for Services (SANL) No. 609 issued by the University of California Lawrence Livermore Laboratory under USDOE Prime Contract No. W-7405-48. while U of H Team #2 has its efforts funded under DOE Contract EY-77-s-08-1529 . (Because of the overlapping of 3 separately funded entities, H&N/Enewetak must insure that charges incurred are properly identified as to user so the proper program is assessed.) Some of the readily identifiable charges are: Team #1- a. Motor oil, hydraulic fluid. Team #2- a. khaler, compressor and battery shipment from Honolulu. Other items such as water, diesel fuel, transportation, etc. should
