SECTION 01400.1 EARTHWORKS CONSTRUCTION QUALITY ASSURANCE (CQA) PLAN PART 1: INTRODUCTION 2.01 CC &V: ame0 This plan addresses the construction quality assurance (CQA) procedures for the installation of the earthworks (soils) components of the valley leach facility at the Cresson Project, Teller County, Colorado. This program has been developed to assure that the construction of the soil components are in compliance with the project SPECIFICATIONS and to demonstrate that the regulatory requirements for the construction are achieved. The objective of this plan is to assure that proper materials, construction techniques, and procedures are followed by the CONTRACTOR and that the intent of the design is met.
