DAILY FIELD REPORT Page 1 of 1 Project Name: Foothill Sanitary Landfill - Area 2A Report Number: 030 Project Number: 11-101-01 Date: Monday 06/22/15 Owner: Dept. of Public Works, San Joaquin County CQA Monitors: T. Sathees Contractor: R J Gordon Construction, Inc. M. Hu and Weather: Clear Wind: 0-10 mph. Tem erature: Approx. range 70-100 F Other: The contractor worked from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. Excavation: Up to (1) CAT D8 dozer and up to (2) CAT 637 scrapers continued excavating Drainage Basin 2 at southeast of the project area and southeast slope area, and hauled the material to the South Stockpile 3. After 3:30 pm the excavation activity at Drainage Basin 2 was stopped. Up to (2) CAT D6 dozers and up to (2) CAT 627 scrapers continued excavating Drainage Basin 1 at northwest of the project area, and hauled, from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, the brown silty sand material (fine-grained) to the South Stockpile 1 (Foundation) in order to use for Foundation layer construction. (1) CAT 621 water pull was used to maintain excavation areas. Two laborers with shovels and rakes continued working on the north slopes to fine grade the slope face. South Stockpile 1 (Foundation): (2) CAT 627 scrapers continued hauling the Foundation soil, from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, to placement area at the cell. (2) CAT 627 scrapers hauled the brown silty sand material (fine-grained) from Drainage Basin 1 and stockpiled. (1) CAT 621 water pull was used to maintain the stockpile, and haul roads. South Stockpile 2 (Operations): No activity was observed. South Stockpile 3: The scrapers hauled and stockpile the soil from the excavation at Drainage Basin 2 at Southeast of the project area. (1) CAT 621 water pull was used to maintain the stockpile, and haul roads. Access Road Embankment Fill (Earthfill): No activity was observed. Foundation Layer: The Contractor continued placing Foundation layer at Northeast to Southeast area of the cell floor. (1) CAT 825 compactor compacted the Foundation layer prior to placement of new material. (2) CAT 627 scrapers hauled the soil from South Stockpile 1 (Foundation) and placed thin lifts. The 825 compactor and a vibratory -type CAT CS54B smooth -drum roller were used to break the big clods and to compact the Foundation soil. (1) CAT 14H motorgrader was used for spreading and mixing the soil. (1) CAT 621 water pull was used to moisture -condition the Foundation soil. At 3:30 pm hauling activity (scrapers) was stopped as to provide more time for processing to break down clods with smooth drum roller, motorgrader and the compactor. The Contractor also utilized the scraper traffic, which were hauling and stockpiling the material from excavation areas, to provide additional processing and compaction to the Foundation layer at Northwest to Southwest area that was placed Thursday, 06-18-15 (where approximately 12 -inch thick compacted layer was achieved). Two locations were examined in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the processing -effort to help assist the Contractor. It was found that approximately 3.0 to 3.2 % of the material had clods sizes of 1 to 2 inches, with scattered plus 2 -inch size clods. Two samples were obtained, and the fines content were 36.8 and 39.4 %. All material passed through 3/8" sieve. Density testing on the Foundation layer soil indicated compliance with the specifications. Equipment Onsite: (1) CAT D8T dozer, (1) CAT D6T dozer, (1) CAT D6R dozer (with slope board) (1) CAT 621G water pull, (4) CAT 627 scrapers, (2) CAT 637 scrapers, (1) 14H motorgrader, (1) CAT 825H compactor, (1) water truck, (1) Hitachi 300 excavator, (1) CAT CS 54B smooth drum roller (vibratory type).
