Full <br />construction progress resumed on Tuesday the 16'' of July. <br />Amec: None <br />Project Issues: None <br />Planning: Continuing Construction activities and scheduling for VLF and HWY 67. <br />CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES and PROGRESS: <br />1) Earthworks <br />A) VLF (Phase I) <br />Topsoil Stripping: No topsoil stripping occurred during this reporting period. <br />Production drilling was performed during this reporting period in several locations within the planned VLF Phase I <br />limits. In addition drilling began at the Phase II detention pond location and at the South Crib Wall continued. <br />Five production blasts' occurred during this reporting period within planned VLF Phase I limit's and at the South <br />Crib Wall location. Material generated as "cut" material was generated for structural fill using several Cat dozers and <br />transported by several Cat 777 and 740 haul trucks to be used for the HWY 67 embankment fill. <br />Structural Fill: An Amec field representative observed the placement and compaction of structural fill for the HWY <br />67 embankment. (See Figure 1). A Cat D10 and a Cat D8 were utilized to push and place structural fill in 18 to 24 <br />inch loose lifts. Each lift was compacted with a minimum of 4 passes (by Method specification) using a Cat 563 <br />smooth drum roller. In addition Cat 777 and Cat 740 haul traffic contributed to the compaction efforts. It should be <br />noted; a Cat 330 hammer hoe was used to split rock in excess of 24- inches, prior to compaction efforts. <br />An Amec field representative monitored structural fill material temperatures placed within the Hwy 67 embankment <br />during all shifts. Average structural fill temperatures were above 32 °F <br />Page 1 of 5 MLE2 WE 07.20.13.doc <br />
