Ramsey County │ Annex C: Ingestion Pathway 10 <br />2.4.3.2 Support the Establishment of Relocation Areas Outside the 10-mile EPZ as Requested by the <br />SEOC <br />(NOTE: due to the distance from each, Ramsey County has a low probability of being involved in this <br />directly). <br />The initial post plume priority is to determine if there is contamination in areas outside of the initial <br />evacuation areas that require additional measures to protect the public from long-term exposure to <br />low-level radioactive material. Relocation is defined as the removal or continued exclusion of people <br />from contaminated areas as needed to avoid long-term from low level radiation. Relocation from an <br />area is initiated when soil samples exceed EPA protective action guidelines for 1-year, 2-year or 50-year <br />periods of occupancy. <br />Relocation is a mandatory movement of people from their homes and farms to a location that does not <br />present a danger from radiological exposure. Relocation is allowed to take place over a period of time, <br />normally a few days, instead of an immediate evacuation as required during the plume phase. <br />• <br />2.4.3.3 Support the Establishment/Maintenance of Restricted Zones as Needed <br />(NOTE: due to the distance from each nuclear power plant, Ramsey County has a low probability of <br />being involved in this directly). <br />Any area designated for relocation will be designated as a restricted zone where access controls are <br />implemented. Access is restricted to limit the chronic exposure to low-level radiation and to provide <br />security for the property inside the relocated areas.
