Preparation of the Final Report, documenting the project construction CQA activities, was the last task to complete the CQA program for the Forward Landfill WMU FU -13 composite liner system. This report includes discussions of the findings and observations of the on-site CQA personnel regarding the activities identified above. The documentation of construction and CQA activities are presented on the daily and weekly field reports prepared by our CCW personnel as well as the minutes of the weekly progress meetings along with various testing and observation sheets. Also presented in the appendices of this report are the results of laboratory conformance tests conducted on earthworks and geosynthetic materials. The report contains a discussion of the CCW procedures performed by GLA; a discussion of the construction activities; and a description of the composite liner system components observed and tested by GLA. The list of appendices presented in this Final Report are as follows: • Design modifications to the construction documents and drawings are included in Appendix A; • Daily and Weekly Reports of construction and CCW activities and the Preconstruction Meeting and Progress Meeting minutes are included in Appendix B; • Earthworks documentation is included in Appendices C through G; • Geosynthetics documentation is included in Appendices H through M; • 6 Geo -Logic ASSOCIATES Final Construction Quality Assurance Report— WMU FU -13 Forward Landfill 1. A typographical error was corrected in the Geomembrane Specification, Section . 3.4.c.3.b.iii which read 2 psi per mil of liner thickness when it should of read % psi per mil of liner thickness; 2. The normal stress requirement at a shear stress of 2,000 psf was reduced from 700 psf to 600 psf to allow for a broader range of geomembrane manufacturers to be utilized while maintaining an adequate factor of safety for stability; 3. A memorandum was provided by the Design Engineer, Lewis Engineering, describing revisions to the construction documents including the Geogrid Specification, the CQA Manual, Sheet 3 of the Construction Drawings, and the Bid List; 4. Section M on Sheet 9 of the Construction Drawings was modified to extend the geomembrane over the anchor trench three feet rather than go into the trench; 5. The leachate pipe and tank perforations were changed from 1/2" to 3/8" in diameter; 6. The coarse gravel grain size distribution was modified in conjunction with the change in pipe and tank perforation size discussed above; 7. A variance was granted to utilize a higher ground pressure dozer than specified over the liner system; and 8. The use of geocomposite in place of geotextile when the supply of geotextile ran short. 3.4 FINAL REPORT • Preparation of the Final Report, documenting the project construction CQA activities, was the last task to complete the CQA program for the Forward Landfill WMU FU -13 composite liner system.
