Newmont-Cripple Creek&Victor Gold Mine <br /> Technical Specification No.02200 REV D <br /> Squaw Gulch VLF ■ <br /> Project No.475.0106.006 <br /> March 13,2020 <br /> Moisture conditioning shall be adequate to achieve a uniform moisture and density. In <br /> rock areas, the CONTRACTOR shall prepare the subgrade by removing loose rock <br /> fragments until competent foundation material is encountered as approved by <br /> CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br /> D. If the underlying material is unsuitable to permit proper compaction of the subgrade, <br /> CONTRACTOR shall loosen, aerate (or excavate and remove), and recompact the <br /> subgrade until the top layer can be compacted as required. The recompacted surface <br /> shall then be scarified, as needed, to provide a good bond between the foundation and <br /> fill materials. <br /> 3.6. Fill Placement <br /> A. The following general guidelines shall be followed except as noted elsewhere in this <br /> Section. <br /> 1. No fill materials shall be placed until the foundation and subgrade preparations have <br /> been completed as specified herein, in Article 3.05 of this Section. The procedures <br /> for fill placement shall be approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER prior <br /> to start of fill placement. <br /> 2. No brush, roots, sod, frozen material, or other deleterious or unsuitable materials <br /> shall be incorporated in the fills. The suitability of all materials intended for use in <br /> the fill shall be subject to approval by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. Fill <br /> placement shall be temporarily stopped by CONTRACTOR due to weather conditions, <br /> if materials and installation do not meet the SPECIFICATIONS, at no cost to CC&V. Fill <br /> shall not be placed upon frozen material, such as snow or ice. <br /> 3. If the surface of the prepared foundation or the surface of any layer of the fill is too <br /> dry or too smooth to bond properly with the layer of material to be placed thereon, <br /> it shall be moisture-conditioned and/or worked with harrow, scarifier teeth, disc, or <br /> other suitable equipment to provide a satisfactory bonding surface before fill <br /> material is placed thereon. If the surface of the prepared foundation or the rolled <br /> surface of any layer is excessively wet for fill materials to be placed thereon, it shall <br /> be removed and allowed to dry or worked with a harrow, scarifier teeth, disc, or <br /> other suitable equipment to reduce the moisture content to an acceptable level or <br /> meet project specifications as determined by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br /> It shall then be compacted before the next layer of fill material is placed. <br /> Determination of such dry or wet conditions shall be made by CERTIFYING <br /> ENGINEER. <br /> 4. The distribution of materials shall be such that the fill is free from voids, lenses, <br /> pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or gradation <br /> from the surrounding material. The material of a fill shall be as described in Article <br /> 2.01 of this Section. <br /> Page 9 <br />
