Newmont‐Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine Technical Specification No. 01400‐2.DOCX Squaw Gulch VLF Project No.475.0106.006 August 25, 2016 Page 1 SECTION 01400.2 GEOSYNTHETIC CONSTRUCTION QUALITY ASSURANCE (CQA) PLAN 1. PART 1: INTRODUCTION This plan addresses the construction quality assurance (CQA) procedures for the installation of the geosynthetic components used for the construction of the valley leach facility at the Cresson Project, Teller County, Colorado. This program has been developed to assure that the construction of the geosynthetic components are in compliance with the project SPECIFICATIONS and to demonstrate that the regulatory requirements for the construction are achieved. The objective of this plan is to assure that proper materials, construction techniques, and procedures are followed by the CONTRACTOR and that the intent of the design is met. This program also intends to identify problems that may occur during construction and provide the means for resolution of these problems. This program addresses quality assurance, not quality control. This CQA Plan is independent of the quality control (QC) programs conducted by the MANUFACTURERS, INSTALLERS, and CONTRACTORS. The intent of the CQA Plan is to provide independent third party verification and testing, to demonstrate that the INSTALLER and CONTRACTORS have met their obligations in the supply and installation of geosynthetic materials according to the design, project SPECIFICATIONS, contractual and regulatory requirements. Quality control is provided by the MANUFACTURERS, INSTALLERS, and CONTRACTORS and refers to those actions taken by them to ensure that their materials and workmanship meet the requirements of the plans and project SPECIFICATIONS. 2.
