October 2 004 -21- 043 -2170 <br />determined from oven -dried samples). The nuclear density value measured in the field was corrected <br />for coarse particles according to ASTM D4718. Laboratory tests yielded coefficients of permeability <br />for the CQA samples from 1.1 x 10 -8 cm/sec to 8.6 x 10 em/sec, all of which are less than the <br />specified maximum permeability of 1 x 10 cm/sec. The permeability test results for the SLF are <br />presented in Appendix 1 -3 and summarized in Table 10. <br />4.1.6 Bulk Specific Gravity <br />Golder conducted two bulk specific gravity tests of SLF at Golder's laboratory in Lakewood, <br />Colorado. Testing was performed in accordance with ASTM C 127 for performing rock corrections to <br />the Proctor compaction tests. <br />4.2 Field Testing and Monitoring <br />Golder observed all fill operations in the Phase We OSA to verify, when necessary, lift thickness, <br />adequate compaction, and acceptable moisture conditions. Holes made in the fill during testing were <br />backfilled and tamped with fine SLF. Golder standardized nuclear gauges at the start of each day's <br />0 work according to ASTM D2922. <br />4.2.1 Underground Workings <br />Golder monitored remediation of underground workings, including verification that excavations were <br />performed to minimum required dimensions, and that CP, CR, geogrid, SF, FSB, and SSF were <br />installed as specified. <br />4.2.1.1 Concrete Plug and Cemented Rockfill <br />Golder observed placement and testing of CP material used in construction of the Phase We OSA. <br />Golder observed and documented testing of approximately 1,604 cubic yards of concrete for slump, <br />air entrainment, temperature, placement time and compressive strength. Forty -three (43) tests were <br />performed on slump, and 40 tests were performed on compressive strength for a testing frequency of <br />approximately one test per 40 cubic yards. This exceeded the minimum specified testing frequency <br />of one test per every 50 cubic yards. All tests met compressive strength specification. The concrete <br />observation and test results are presented in Appendix H and summarized in Table 15. <br />1:% W% 217DW400XQM- QAMgVo-1004 %W2770.w01.1248&CcmPUVcdm Golder Associates <br />
