August 2002 -15- 003-2203 <br />2.5 Subgrade Preparation <br />Prior to SLF placement, Ames moisture conditioned and compacted the entire surface of the <br />Phase Na Area with a smooth drum vibratory compactor. The quality of the surface was then <br />maintained until SLF was placed. <br />2.6 Soil Liner Fill <br />Based on neat-line survey, Ames placed and compacted approximately 52,960 cubic yazds of <br />SLF in the Phase Na Area. Record Drawing No. 3 in Appendix A shows the top of SLF. <br />Ames processed the SLF for the Phase Na constntction, beginning in Apri12001 and finished <br />in February 2002. Ames screened the borrow material through a custom designed rotary mill <br />and screen to remove oversized material from the SLF. <br />• Ames began placing SLF in the Phase Na Area in Apri12002 and completed SLF placement in <br />June 2002. SLF was compacted to a minimum thickness of 12 inches by a smooth-drum <br />vibratory compactor. Golder observed SLF depth verification tests performed by Ames to <br />confirm appropriate fill depth. Any areas that were found to be deficient in thickness were <br />reworked and retested until the azea met specifications. The SLF depth verification is discussed <br />in Section 4.2.63. SLF was moisture-conditioned and compacted as needed to meet project <br />specifications. The minimum SLF density was 95 percent of the maximum dry density at <br />3 percent dry of optimum to optimum moisture content as determined by standard Proctor tests <br />performed by Golder. Areas of the SLF that initially failed to meet the density requirement <br />were moisture-conditioned, if necessary, and re-compacted to achieve the required compaction. <br />There was an area of approximately 70,000 square feet that did not achieve acceptable SLF <br />moisture content, compaction, and gradation. The SLF was replaced with SLF meeting <br />specifications. <br />• <br />c~ao~zzo~waomce,v~POSOZ~oo3zzo~oaoo.oa~aa,n.ao~ Golder Associates <br />
