<br />The geomaterials aze utilized either alone or in conjunction with low permeability soils <br />and/or bentonite blankets as composite liners. Geomembranes are the key components of <br />the lining system, and therefore, none of the geomembrane requirements contained herein <br />should be compromised in any way. Geotextiles, geonets and granulaz soils are utilized <br />in combination for leachate collection systems. <br />The quality assurance of a geosynthetic liner system is addressed herein in its entirety, <br />including all stages from manufacture to installation. The quality assurance of soils is <br />only discussed relative to their interaction with geosynthetics. <br />1.1.4 Scope of Quality Assurance and Quality Control <br />The scope of this manual includes the quality assurance applicable to manufacturing, <br />shipment, handling, and installation of all geosynthetics. In particulaz, full time quality <br />assurance of the installation of Qeomembranes, bentonite blankets and the installation of <br />other geosynthetics is essential <br />This manual does nut address design guidelines, installation specifications, or selection of <br />geomembranes, bentonite blankets and other geosynthetics (which includes compatibility <br />between geosynthetic and contained material). <br />This manual does not address the quality assurance of soils, except in cases where soil <br />placement may have an influence on the geosynthetics. <br />1.1.5 References <br />The manual includes references to test procedures of the American Society for Testing <br />and Materials (ASTivf), the Federal Test btethod Standazds (FTMS) and the "Standards <br />for Flexible Membrane Liners" of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). <br />Recognizing the changing nature of the standards and the geosynthetic industry at lazge, <br />this manual is subject to periodic revision. <br />1.2 Parties (See Organization Chart -Next Page) <br />The completion of a particular lined system is dependant on the interaction of many <br />parties. The parties discussed below are those associated with the ownership, design, <br />specification, manufacture, fabrication, transportation, installation, and quality assurance <br />of the liner system. The qualifications of the Installer and Geosynthetic Quality <br />Assurance Consultant aze particulazly critical to the successful completion of the lining <br />systems, and must be emphasized in the Quality Assurance Plans. <br />1.2.1 Designer <br />The Designer is responsible for the design, drawings, plans, and specifications of the <br />lining system. <br />
