ameO <br />Lone Star tested extrusion welded seam sections with a vacuum box. Prior to vacuum box <br />testing, Lone Star applied a soap and water solution to the seam section. The vacuum box <br />was then placed over the seam area and energized with a vacuum pump capable of <br />creating a vacuum of not less than 5 psi. Lone Star and AMEC observed the action of the <br />vacuum on the seam for a minimum of ten seconds. Each consecutively tested seam length <br />was overlapped a minimum of 3 inches. If soap bubbles appeared, AMEC marked and <br />documented the leak location. Lone Star then repaired the leak and vacuum tested the <br />repair. This procedure was also followed to test extrusion repairs and extrusion patches. <br />The seam non - destructive test summaries (fusion pressure tests and extrusion vacuum <br />tests) for the Phase 5 Berm Modification primary geomembrane layer are presented in <br />Appendix J.6. <br />AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. <br />2000 S.
