Series Description: This report is the interim record of decision for Waste Area Grouping (WAG) 13 remediation actions taken by the Oak Ridge Reservation to bring the area into compliance with various local, state, and federal environmental regulations. It discusses the 1968 simulated nuclear weapons fallout study that contaminated the WAG 13 treatment plots with cesium-137. The report describes plans to reduce the health risk to humans by taking various clean-up actions, such as excavation of contaminated soil, storage of the contaminated soil and transfer to WAG 6, and the lining and back-filling of the excavation pits.
