ArVII <br />ame <br />Earth & Environmental <br />A CAT D-8 dozer and a CAT 375 excavator were used for structural fill placement between <br />stations A44+00 (+/-) and A46+00 (+/-), approximately 150 to 300 left of centerline. The <br />material pushed from the cut area between stations A44+00 (+/-) and A46+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 300 to 350 left of centerline. The structural fill material was spread in 18" to <br />24" lifts. Each lift was moisture conditioned using a CAT 773 water truck (when necessary) <br />and compacted using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor, passing over the entire fill <br />surface at least 4 times (method compaction technique is applicable). <br />A CAT D-10 dozer and a CAT D-9 dozer were used for structural fill placement between <br />stations J7+00 (+/-) and J10+00 (+/-), approximately 300 to 400 right of centerline. The <br />material pushed from the cut area between stations A36+00 (+/-) and A37+50 (+/-), <br />approximately 300 to 350 left of centerline. The structural fill material was spread in 18" to <br />24" lifts. Each lift was moisture conditioned using a CAT 773 water truck (when necessary) <br />and compacted using a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor, passing over the entire fill <br />surface at least 4 times (method compaction technique is applicable). <br />Slope contouring was performed between stations A10+50 (+/-) and A16+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 0 to 200 feet left of centerline using a various CAT dozers. Material generated <br />as the cut progressed was pushed down the slope. <br />Slope re-grading was performed between stations A46+50 (+/-) and 47+50 (+/-), <br />approximately 300 to 450 left of centerline. A CAT 345 excavator and a CAT D-8 dozer were <br />used to remove excess material from the area and to re-grade the slope. <br />Blast pattern drilling was performed by Rockbreakers in the following areas: between stations <br />A8+00 (+/-) and A9+00 (+/-), approximately 20 feet left of centerline to 20 feet right of <br />centerline; between stations A10+50 (+/-) and Al 1+00 (+/-), approximately 30 to 80 feet right <br />of centerline; and between stations A17+50 (+/-) and A18+00 (+/-), approximately 15 to 30 <br />feet right of centerline. Drilling was performed using 2 to 4 track mounted drill rigs. Drill <br />pattern blasting was performed on Monday (7/27/2009) and Wednesday (7/29/2009). <br />F) Material Processing <br />1) South Cresson Clay Processing Area <br />Processing of Soil Liner Fill material continued at the South Cresson Clay Processing area. A <br />CAT D-6 dozer, a CAT 330 excavator, and a CAT 966 front-end loader were used to process <br />the material. Soil liner fill production was slowed due to saturated stockpiles. <br />Location This Week <br />tons Cumulative Comments <br />So Cresson Clay Processing 1,100 53,217 <br />Squaw Gulch Processing 0 35,816 Processing in area complete. <br />Total 1,100 89,033 <br />G) New ADR Water Tank <br />Excavation for manholes, at the new ADR water tank, was performed using a CAT 345 excavator. <br />The subgrade was inspected by an AMEC representative and accepted for granular fill placement. <br />Sheet 3 of 8 <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 08.01.09.D.doc
