Phase IVc Summary No. 18 Page 2 043-2170 <br />eastern portion of the VLF. SLF material was tested, condifioned, reworked, retested, and maintained <br />prior to SLF surface acceptance. <br />Ames continued excavation of the Phase Nc anchor trench on the eastern section of the Phase Nc <br />VLF. Ames excavated approximately 50 feet of anchor. trench in preparation for geomembrane <br />installation during this reporting period. <br />Ames continued production of bentonite-amended SLF at the screen plant and pug mill located above <br />the Ames materials yard. Ames also continued production of Drain Cover Fill (DCF) material at the <br />screen plant by the secondary crusher. <br />Poly-Flex continued deployment of 80-mil single-sided textured LLDPE geomembrane in the Phase <br />Nc OSA. Geomembrane was installed in the Phase Nc OSA on the south facing slope of Raven Hill <br />downward to the Phase IVb/IVc tie-in. Poly-Flex deployed 80-mil single-sided textured LLDPE <br />geomembrane over an area of approximately 98,868 square feet in the Phase Nc OSA during this <br />reporting period. Geomembrane panels C-776 through C-795 were deployed, seamed, and tested by <br />Poly-Flex. Destructive fusion and extrusion seam samples DFc-279 through DFc-289 and DXc-29 <br />through DXc-30 were mazked and removed. Destructive fusion and extrusion seam peel and shear <br />testing on samples DFc-272 through DFc277, DFc-279 through DFc-289, and DXc-29 through DXc-30 <br />were performed and passed per project specification. <br />Ames continued hauling, placement and grading of DCF material into the Phase Nc OSA in the central <br />and eastem sections of the VLF, Raven Hill area. Ames placed DCF material and High Volume <br />Solution Collection (HVSC) piping per the project plans onto approved geomembrane panels. <br />A map of the area worked during this reporting period is provided in Attachment C. <br />Field Monitoring and Testing Activities <br />Golder observed construction activities associated with Phase Nc earthworks. All construction <br />materials and soil materials placed were verified as suitable, and construction methods were in <br />accordance with project specifications. <br />Golder observed the excavation and construction of the LDT in the Phase Nc VLF for trench <br />dimensions (1' wide by 1' deep), slope, and materials used. <br />Golder observed excavation of the Phase Nc anchor trench for proper location, dimension (2' wide by <br />3' deep) and maintenance prior to geomembrane deployment. Anchor trench excavation met or <br />exceeded the requirements ofthe specification. <br />Golder observed placement, compaction, and moisture conditioning of SLF in the Phase Nc OSA for <br />subgrade prepazation, thickness, compaction, moisture-content, and materials used. The Golder CQA <br />Earthworks Monitor performed ten nuclear moisture-density tests (SLNc-231 through SLNc-240) and <br />performed no nucleazrnoisture-density retests.
