AOW%k <br />amec <br />Earth & Environmental <br />CQA ACTIVITIES: <br />SUMMARY: <br />The CQA activities performed consisted of observing, documenting and recording the construction <br />activities of the contractor. Field observation included removal of the existing topsoil stockpile near the <br />northwest portion of the VLF. In addition, observation of the drilling began on February 5, 2009 to <br />delineate the extent of underground mine workings located beneath the sediment collection pond and <br />continued through week ending 2/13. <br />Night shift continued from February 16 to February 20 with relocation of topsoil from the substation area. <br />Clay processing was intermittent due to mechanical problems with the clay plant. The second clay plant <br />(Dump 5 Clay Process Plant) being setup in the VLF was still not operational by the end of the week. <br />No work was performed on Saturday, February 21. Currently no work activities are planned for Saturdays <br />but Ames has indicated that Saturday will be used as a make up day in the event of delay or stoppage <br />during the current planned work periods Monday to Friday. Amec had one staff on site Saturday, February <br />21 for half a day to start processing of samples collected during the week. <br />1. Testing Summary <br />Amec began processing of clay and structural fill samples collected during the week. <br />One sample was collected for the structural fill being placed along the existing haul road between the 5- <br />point intersection and the crusher area. The fill is being placed only within the limit of the haul road at <br />this time to adjust road grading for run-off management. Amec has discussed with Ames that adjacent <br />areas will require removal of uncontrolled materials, frozen ground and excavation of sediment retention <br />areas. These ityems were discussed with Ames and CC&V and agreed. <br />Sample Summary <br />Description Comments <br />SF-1-R Structural fill, VLF <br />SLF-5-C Unprocessed clay, in-progress <br />SLF-4-C Unprocessed clay, in-progress <br /> <br />GENERAL PROJECT ITEMS <br />Summary of Concerns: <br />No Concerns <br />Summary of Non-conformances: <br />None Issued <br />Summary of Meetings and Discussions: <br />CC& V.• <br />Sheet 4 of 8 <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 02.21.09
