Newmont-Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mine ■ Technical Specification No.02200.DOCX Squaw Gulch VLF ■ Project No.475.0106.006 June 15,2016 shall then be scarified, as needed, to provide a good bond between the foundation and fill materials. 3.6. Fill Placement A. The following general guidelines shall be followed except as noted elsewhere in this Section. 1. No fill materials shall be placed until the foundation and subgrade preparations have been completed as specified herein, in Article 3.05 of this Section. The procedures for fill placement shall be approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER prior to start of fill placement. 2. No brush, roots, sod, frozen material, or other deleterious or unsuitable materials shall be incorporated in the fills. The suitability of all materials intended for use in the fill shall be subject to approval by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. Fill placement shall be temporarily stopped by CONTRACTOR due to weather conditions, if materials and installation do not meet the SPECIFICATIONS, at no cost to CC&V. Fill shall not be placed upon frozen material, such as snow or ice. 3. If the surface of the prepared foundation or the surface of any layer of the fill is too dry or too smooth to bond properly with the layer of material to be placed thereon, it shall be moisture-conditioned and/or worked with harrow, scarifier teeth, disc, or other suitable equipment to provide a satisfactory bonding surface before fill material is placed thereon. If the surface of the prepared foundation or the rolled surface of any layer is excessively wet for fill materials to be placed thereon, it shall be removed and allowed to dry or worked with a harrow, scarifier teeth, disc, or other suitable equipment to reduce the moisture content to an acceptable level or meet project specifications as determined by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. It shall then be compacted before the next layer of fill material is placed. Determination of such dry or wet conditions shall be made by CERTIFYING ENGINEER. 4. The distribution of materials shall be such that the fill is free from voids, lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or gradation from the surrounding material. The material of a fill shall be as described in Article 2.01 of this Section. 5. Unless otherwise approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER, the entire fill surface shall be at or near the same elevation at all times during construction. At all times during construction, the surface of the fill shall be graded and maintained by the CONTRACTOR to prevent ponding of water and to allow for storm water drainage. 6. Except as otherwise specified or approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall dump and spread fill in such a manner so that Page 9
