GeoSyntec Consultants <br />6. MATERIAL SAMPLING AND TESTING PROGRAM <br />A material sampling and testing program will be implemented during construction <br />to demonstrate that the final cover components have been constructed in accordance <br />with the Project Plans, Specifications, and regulatory requirements. All tests will be <br />conducted by either the Contractor, the CQA Team, or a qualified testing service under <br />the observation of the CQA Team. The delegation of material sampling and testing <br />responsibilities shall be outlined in the Project Specifications. The proposed test <br />procedures and frequencies are shown in Tables 1 through 7. The sampling and test <br />results shall be documented and reported as outlined in this CQA Plan. <br />The testing program is divided into material acceptance tests and compliance tests. <br />Material acceptance tests are performed before construction to check that the materials <br />proposed for use will comply with the Project Specifications. Material compliance tests <br />are performed and/or supervised by the CQA Team throughout construction to verify <br />that the components are constructed in compliance with the Project Plans and <br />Specifications. <br />6.1 Earth Materials Testing <br />The earth material testing requirements are detailed in Tables 1 through 7. The <br />CQA Team will perform the following duties and tests for the earth materials: <br />• Forward will measure the thickness of the foundation layer prior to <br />construction. The CQA Team will review the thickness measurements to <br />confirm that the minimum 2 -foot thickness is met. <br />• Forward will place and compact the foundation layer prior to construction. The <br />CQA Team will test the relative compaction of the foundation layer at the <br />frequency shown in Table 2. Forward will expose the relative compaction <br />testing locations under the direction of the CQA Team. <br />• Inspect soil stockpiles of materials identified for use in the vegetative layer and <br />clay liner components of the final cover. <br />J:IALUED\rORWARDICLOSUREIREPORrCQA REPORT 6-1 99.11.30 <br />
