amec0 <br />Earth 8 Environmental <br />(+/-) and J30+00 (+/-), approximately 100 feet left of centerline to 250 feet right of centerline. <br />Slope contouring was performed using various CAT dozers. Material generated as the cut <br />progressed was pushed down the slope. <br />E) 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 near stations A28+00 (+/-) to A36+00 <br />F) Cut to Fill <br />1) VLF <br />A CAT 385 excavator and a John Deere 850 excavator were used to excavate structural fill <br />material from the following areas: between stations E2+00 (+/-) and E4+50 (+/-), <br />approximately 50 feet left of centerline to 50 feet right of centerline; between stations H24+00 <br />(+/-) and H30+00 (+/-), approximately 75 to 100 feet left of centerline; between stations <br />J27+00 (+/-) and J29+50 (+/-), approximately 20 feet left of centerline to 250 feet right of <br />centerline; and between stations K0+00 (+/-) and K4+00 (+/-), approximately 150 to 250 feet <br />right of centerline. The structural fill material was loaded into CAT 777 haul trucks and l?aulec <br />to fill areas. <br />Prior to structural fill placement existing fill areas were ripped and frost was allowed to t aw <br />or was removed. Existing fill temperature were monitored and found to be above 32°F before <br />fill placement. An AMEC representative monitored ambient temperatures on an hourly basis <br />during fill placement. Fill temperatures were monitored during ambient temperatures below <br />32°F and averaged 337 to 45°F. <br />Structural fill was placed in the following areas: between stations B0+00 (+/-) and B8+0 (+/-), <br />approximately 75 feet left of centerline to 75 feet right of centerline; between stations J9 00 <br />(+/-) and J12+00 (+/-), approximately 50 feet left of centerline to 50 feet right of centerli ne; <br />and between stations J18+00 (+/-) and J20+00 (+/-), approximately 20 to 50 feet left of <br />centerline. Structural fill was placed in 18" to 24" lifts using various CAT dozers. Each 1 ft was <br />moisture conditioned using a CAT 773 water truck (when necessary) and compacted usin g a <br />10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor, passing over the entire fill surface at least 4 ti es <br />(method compaction technique is applicable). Ambient and fill temperatures were monito red <br />and recorded during fill placement. <br />Blast pattern drilling was performed between stations J25+00 (+/-) and J30+00 (+/-), <br />approximately 50 feet left of centerline to 100 feet right of centerline. Blasting was performed <br />on Monday (2/1/2010), Tuesday (2/2/2010), Wednesday (2/3/2010), Thursday (2/4/2010), and <br />Friday (2/5/2010). <br />G) Material Processing <br />1) South Cresson Clay Processing Area <br />Processing of Soil Liner Fill material continued at the South Cresson Clay Process. A CAT D-8 <br />dozer, a CAT 320 excavator, and a CAT 966 front-end loader were used to process the material. <br />Soil liner fill processing at the South Cresson Clay borrow is complete. <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 02.06.1
