Northern Portion of W MU FU-06 August 2006 Forward Landfill Project No.021605.07 A total of sixteen (16) 8 oz/yd2 geotextile samples were tested for conformance. Based on 1,030,000 ft2 of geotextile required for the upper northern portion for the FU-06 project, this testing frequency satisfies the requirement of one test per 100,000 ft2. Results of the conformance testing indicated that the materials met the requirements of the project specifications. The conformance test results are included in Appendix D. 4.4 LCRS Granular Material Upon completion of the installation of the lower geotextile, a 6-inch layer of LCRS granular drainage material was placed on the cell. The 6-inches of granular drainage material was placed by using a conveyor system to place the drainage material onto the geotextile. A LGP dozer was then used to push the material to grade. Vector's CQA Monitor checked placement of materials involved with the granular drainage layer to ensure that the.placement activities did not damage the underlying geosynthetics. In addition, a coarse granular drainage rock was placed in the leachate collection trenches within the northern portion of WMU FU-06 cell. The leachate collection trenches were constructed to the lines and grades shown on the construction drawings. The leachate collection trenches were constructed to flow towards the southeast area of the cell. The leachate collection trench consisted of a 3-inch perforated HDPE pipe encapsulated by the coarse granular drainage rock and geotextile. Vector's CQA Monitor observed the placement of the HDPE pipe, coarse granular drainage rock, and geotextile. The leachate collection trenches were constructed in accordance with the specifications. The coarse gravel is placed in a "burrito wrap" surrounding the LCRS pipe. The limits of the LCRS gravel are presented in Appendix E. is Vector Engineering,Inc.•143E Spring Bill Drive•Grass Valley,CA 95945•(530)272-2448 -13-
