ameO <br />Earth 8 Environmental <br />(when necessary) and compacted using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor. The entire <br />surface of the subgrade was compacted with at least 4-passes. Temperature was taken when the <br />ambient temperature was below 32°F with results averaging 38°F. These areas were inspected <br />by an AMEC representative and accepted for structural fill placement. <br />E) Slope Contouring <br />1) VLF <br />Slope contouring was performed in the following areas: between stations A26+00 (+/-) and <br />A28+00 (+/-), approximately 50 to 300 feet right of centerline; between stations H16+00 (+/-) <br />and H34+00 (+/-), approximately 100 feet left of centerline to 250 feet right of centerline; <br />between stations J7+00 (+/-) and J15+00 (+/-), approximately 400 feet left of centerline to 300 <br />right of centerline; and between stations J26+00 (+/-) and J28+00 (+/-) 0 to 200 feet right of <br />centerline. Contouring was performed using various CAT dozers. Material generated as the cut <br />progressed was pushed down the slope. <br />F) Overburden to Stockpile <br />1) VLF <br />Oversize rock within the Phase 5 VLF fill area was removed from fill areas and hauled to the <br />overburden stockpile area east of the east perimeter road between stations A28+00 (+/-) to <br />A36+00 (+/-). <br />G) Cut to Fill <br />1) VLF <br />A John Deere 850 excavator, a CAT 375 excavator, and a CAT 385 excavator excavated <br />structural fill material from the following areas: between stations A7+25 (+/-) and A10+00 <br />(+/-), approximately 50 feet left of centerline to 20 feet right of centerline; between stations <br />1-11+00 (+/-) and 1-12+00 (+/-), approximately 50 to 100 feet left of centerline; and between <br />stations H14+00 (+/-) and H29+00 (+/-), approximately 250 left of centerline to 200 right of <br />centerline. The structural fill material was loaded into CAT 777 haul trucks. <br />Prior to structural fill placement, during periods of time when ambient temperatures were <br />below 32°F, fill areas were prepared and worked to bring the existing fill to or above 34°F. <br />Ambient and fill temperatures were monitored on an hourly basis, by an AMEC representative. <br />Fill temperatures averaged approximately 42°F during the period of time the ambient <br />temperature was below 32°F. <br />Structural fill material was placed in the following areas: between stations A0+00 (+/-); A2+00 <br />(+/-); E20+00 (+/-); and E23+50 (+/-), approximately 0 to 75 feet left of the "E" centerline; <br />between stations A40+00 (+/-) and A44+50 (+/-), approximately 0 to 75 feet right of <br />centerline; between stations A52+00 (+/-) and A58+00 (+/-), approximately 50 to 100 feet <br />right of centerline; between stations J6+00 (+/-) and J15+00 (+/-), approximately 100 feet left <br />of centerline to 100 feet right of centerline; and between stations K4+50 (+/-) and K10+00 <br />(+/-), approximately 50 to 100 feet right of centerline. The structural fill material was spread <br />using various CAT dozers in 18" to 24" lifts. Each lift was moisture conditioned using a CAT <br />773 water truck (when necessary) and compacted using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum <br />compactor, passing over the entire fill surface at least 4 times (method compaction technique is <br />applicable). <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 09.26.09.D.doc
