Snow was removed from areas <br />prior to fill placement. All construction materials placed were verified as suitable, and <br />construction methods were in accordance with project technical specifications. <br />Material hauled from the Surge area was placed and compacted as structural fill per project <br />specification between Bench L stations L4 +00 to L11 +00 in Phase 1 and upslope of Bench N <br />stations N0 +00 to N14 +00 in Phase 2. A Cat 330C excavator with a hammer attachment broke <br />oversize material to meet project specifications for structural fill. <br />Days <br />S <br />M <br />T <br />W <br />T <br />I F <br />S <br />Work Shifts <br />D <br />D <br />D <br />D <br />D <br />D <br />D <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />D =Day Shift N =Night Shift W= Weather <br />Ambient Temperature Ranges During Week Weather Conditions During Week: <br />Highs: 23 °F to 45 °F Cloud Cover: Clear to Overcast <br />Lows: 3 °F to 25 °F Precipitation: Snow Sun., Mon., Fri., and Sat. <br />Wind: Variable <br />Ames: Continuing construction tasks for the Valley Leach Facility (VLF). <br />Planning: Continuing construction activities and scheduling for the VLF. <br />CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES AND PROGRESS: <br />1) Earthworks <br />A) VLF (PSSA, Phase 1, and 2) <br />Topsoil /Overburden Stripping: Ames continued grading Stockpile 34 to a maximum 2:1 grade. <br />Tree Grubbing and Clearing, Chipping: Completed. <br />Production Drilling: None. <br />Production Blasting: None. <br />Structural Fill: <br />An Amec Foster Wheeler field professional monitored fill material temperatures during fill <br />placement; average structural fill temperatures were above 32 °F.
