amec'0 <br />Earth & Environmental <br />least 4-passes. These areas were inspected by an AMEC representative and accepted for <br />structural fill placement. <br />E) Slope Contouring <br />1) VLF <br />Slope contouring was performed in the following areas: between stations A0+00 (+/-) and <br />Al+00 (+/-), approximately 30 feet left of centerline to 30 feet right of centerline; between <br />stations A26+00 (+/-) and A38+00 (+/-), approximately 100 to 400 feet left of centerline; <br />between stations 1-18+00 (+/-) H13+00 (+/-), approximately 75 to 250 feet right of centerline; <br />between stations H24+00 (+/-) and H32+00 (+/-), approximately 0 to 300 feet right of <br />centerline; and between stations J2+50 (+/-) and J24+50 (+/-), approximately 0 to 300 left of <br />centerline. Contouring was performed using various CAT dozers. Material generated as the cut <br />progressed was pushed down the slope. <br />The subgrade surface, in areas designated by Ames, was inspected by AMEC representatives. <br />Small areas of rock pocketing were designated and the remaining areas were accepted for the <br />rough subgrade. Remediation of the rock pocketing areas will be performed by Ames at a later <br />date. <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 A5+00 (+/-) and A7+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 30 feet left of centerline to 30 feet right of centerline; between stations H6+00 <br />(+/-) and H14+00 (+/-), approximately 50 left of centerline to 50 feet right of centerline; <br />between stations H18+00 (+/-) and H28+50 (+/-), approximately 100 feet left of centerline to <br />75 feet right of centerline; between stations J14+00 (+/-) and J16+00 (+/-), approximately 200 <br />to 225 feet right of centerline; and between stations J26+00 (+/-) and J29+00 (+/-), 30 feet left <br />of centerline to 75 right of centerline. The structural fill material was loaded into CAT 777 <br />haul trucks. The material was transported to the following fill areas throughout the shift: <br />Structural fill material was placed between stations J2+00 (+/-) and J12+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 75 to 200 feet left of centerline and between A36+00 (+/-) and A47+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 75 left of centerline to 75 feet right of centerline. The structural fill material was <br />spread using various CAT dozers in 18" to 24" lifts. Each lift was moisture conditioned using a <br />CAT 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 />Blast pattern drilling was performed between stations A0+00 (+/-) and Al+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 30 feet left of centerline to 30 feet right of centerline and between stations <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 09.05.09.D.doc
