<br />The prepared surface underlying the geomembrane or bentonite blanket <br />has not deteriorated since previous acceptance and is still acceptable <br />immediately prior to geosynthetic placement; <br />Any geosynthetic elements immediately underlying [he geomembrane are <br />clean and free of debris; <br />All personnel working on the membrane do not smoke, weaz damaging <br />shoes, or engage in other activities •which could damage the geomembrane; <br />The method used to unroll the panels does not cause scratches or crimps in <br />the eeomembrane and does not damage the supporting soil; <br />The method used to place the panels minimizes wTinl:les (especially <br />differential wrinkles between adjacent panels); <br />Adequate temporary loading and/or anchoring (e.g., sand bags, tires), not <br />likely to damage the geomembrane, has been placed to prevent uplifr by <br />wind (in case of high winds, continuous loading, e.g., by adjacent sand <br />bags, or soil is recommended along edges of panels to minimize risk of <br />wind t7ow under the panels); <br />Direct contact with the geomembrane or bentonite blanket is minimized; <br />i.e., the geosynthetics) are protected by geotextiles, extra geomembrane, <br />or other suitable materials in azeas where excessive traffic may be <br />expected. <br />Bentonite blanket installation is per engineered specifications. Bentonite <br />blankets which have a geomembrane reinforcement may be installed in <br />two ways, bentonite side up or down. Bentonite blanket overlap and <br />bentonite side placement are per engineered specifications. <br />ILPI shall inform the Project Manager if the above conditions are no[ fulfilled. <br />3.2.2.5 Damage <br />ILPI shall inspect each geosynthetic afrer placement and geomembrane prior to <br />seaming for damage. ILPI shall advise the Project Manager which geosynthetic <br />or portions of geosynthetics should be repaired or accepted. Damaged <br />geosynthetic or portions of damaged geosynthetics which have been rejected shall <br />be mazked and their removal from the work area recorded by ILP[. Repairs to <br />geomembrane shall be made according to procedures described in Section 3.4. <br />IS <br />
