appeared in a Honolulu newspaper yesterday evening (02/04/81) describing ocea disposal of radioactive waste by the University of Hawaii. The staff member was anticipating that the news article will generate interest and he wanted to gather some background information for members of the Senate Environment Committee. Region V provided information on the general subject of sea disposal, the relative hazards that could be expected from the University of Hawaii's disposals, the responsibilities for military disposals versus commercial disposals and EPA's role in sea disposal. The University of Hawaii had made sea disposals during the period of 1954 to 1970. The total activity was probably less than 100 mci of byproduct materials.
Region V was notified of this situation by a telephone call from a staff member of the Hawaii State Senate Environment Committee at 10:20 a.m., on Feb. 5,1981.
This Preliminary flotification is for information only. No further action is planned by Region V.
