Quality Assurance Plan
A quality control program has been developed to ensure that the interior dike is constructed as
proposed.
Materials sampling, materials testing and materials inspection shall conform to the requirements
of the following table:
TABLE 1
~onnm iesnngrroceaures
Earthwork ~ ASTM D698 Lab compaction of soils;
ASTM D4254, Relative Density;
ASTM D421-85, D422-63 Particle size and Soil
Constants;
ASTM D4318, Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit and
Plasticity Index;
ASTM D2487, Soils Classification
ASTM D1556, Density and Unit Weight by Sand-Cone
Method
ASTM D2922-96e1, Density and of Soil and Soi]-
Aggregate by Nuclear Methods
Each change of fill
material. For each
lift of fill placed,
perform sufficient
number of tests on
each type of material
to evaluate
conformance with
specifications
A qualified materials testing laboratory shall perform the testing, sampling and inspection as
defined. All testing performed on work that is not in conformance with the specifications shall
be done at the expense of the Contractor.
The test frequency for earthwork related to construction in Zone I and II materials shall be a
minimum of one test per every 1000 cubic yards of material compacted in place or a minimum of
3 tests per lift, whichever is more. Testing intervals shall be determined in the field by the
Engineer and testing lab technician. All other related° earthwork testing such as proctor density
curves an Atterburg limits shall be done as changes in borrow materials warrant. Good
engineering judgment shall be used to determine when a change in material warrants a new
Proctor; however, the use of numerous Proctor density curves for materials with the same
classification is discouraged and may be cause for rejection of testing
