Office of the State Engineer 3 February 2006 Page 2 constructed to serve as the boundary of a sealed water storage reservoir covering approximately 102 acres. The embankment fill material consists of a mixture of clay and common material. Fill material was placed in six to eight inch loose lifts, moisture conditioned, and compacted utilizing proper moisture conditioning and compaction equipment. Transit Mix performed sampling and laboratory testing (standard proctor) of the fill material as well as moisture /density tests on the compacted embankment by sand cone method. Lyman Henn was retained by Transit Mix to perform a review of the quality control testing. Lyman Henn reviewed daily field reports and field testing results performed by Transmit Mix. Lyman Henn's assessment of the quality control program indicates that the compacted embankment was constructed in general accordance with project specifications. GROUNDWATER INFLOW STANDARDS The State Engineer has two standards for the maximum allowable groundwater inflow from the perimeter and the bottom of a lined gravel pit as shown below. Design Standard Performance Standard Pit Perimeter 0.03 ft'/day/ftZ 0.09 ft'/day/ftZ Pit Bottom 0.0015 ft'/day/ftZ 0.0030 ft'/day/ftz These standards are used to determine the frequency of water budget accounting that will need to be implemented during the operation of the water storage reservoir after the Initial Liner Test. After completion of the initial test Required water budget accounting If the Design Standard is met. Monthly (as long as the liner continues to meet the Design Standard) If the Performance Standard is met. Weekly (as long as the liner continues to meet the Performance Standard) If the Performance Standard is not Every 48 hours. If the Performance Standard is not met met. for two consecutive months, then corrective action.
