ASTM D 698 (standard Proctor). <br />I. Random Fill: <br />1. Random Fill shall be placed as needed to achieve the design base grades for <br />the ore pad <br />2. Condition to a moisture content which allows compaction to the required <br />density without an excessive amount of effort and that results in a stable non- <br />yielding surface. <br />3. Place Random Fill in 12 -inch maximum loose lifts and compact to the density <br />specified below. <br />4. Soil Random Fill: Borrow materials with less than 30 percent rock materials <br />above 3 % -inch size and 6 -inch maximum rock size shall be placed and <br />compacted to 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). Use <br />maximum loose lift thickness of 12- inches if using standard construction <br />equipment. Lift thickness may be increased if compacted with heavier <br />equipment, such as mine haul trucks, provided that 95 percent relative <br />compaction is maintained throughout the entire thickness of the lift. <br />5. Rock Random Fill: Random Fill containing more than 30 percent of material <br />above 3 % -inch size shall be conditioned, placed, and compacted by compactive <br />effort techniques. The type of compaction equipment, number of passes, and <br />maximum rock size and loose lift thickness shall be approved by the Owner <br />based on the acceptable test fill performance. <br />6. The Contractor will adopt methods to remove all oversize rock from the fill. <br />Oversize rock will be stockpiled in a location designated by the Owner. <br />J. Cushion Material: <br />1. Cushion Material shall be placed over the geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) in a <br />maximum of two lifts to result in a minimum 2.5- foot -thick layer after <br />construction is complete. <br />2. Condition to a moisture content which allows compaction to the required <br />density without an excessive amount of effort and that results in a stable non - <br />yielding surface. <br />3. Cushion Material shall be placed by dumping with trucks, loaders, or <br />approved equipment, at the edge of the GCL and spreading over the GCL liner <br />with construction equipment that exert a pressure of 8.0 psi or less when <br />distributed to the liner. Equipment shall not be allowed to come in direct <br />contact with the GCL. <br />4. Place Cushion Material in 30 -inch maximum loose lifts and compact to the <br />density specified below. <br />5. Cushion Material shall be conditioned, placed, and compacted by compactive <br />effort techniques. The type of compaction equipment, number of passes, and <br />maximum rock size and loose lift thickness shall be approved by the Owner <br />Revision A 02223 -3 January 2008 <br />t101'81745'O4 Oq,.& .de 111. p0.Tml.m.O22D- pang pcv 41 OOC <br />
