during excavation of borrow materials. Clay liner and clay earthfill material shall be <br />obtained from the eastern borrow area prior to utilizing the northern borrow area. <br />• Perform moisture -density relationship testing (ASTM D1557) to determine the maximum <br />dry density and optimum moisture content of clay materials. Perform tests at testing <br />frequencies specified in Section 3.2.2. <br />• Verify that clay materials are placed and compacted in accordance with the <br />Specifications. <br />• Perform nuclear density -moisture tests (ASTM D2922 and ASTM D3017) to verify that <br />each lift is compacted as required by the Specifications. Perform tests at testing <br />frequencies specified in Section 3.2.2. <br />• Verify that soil materials that are too wet for proper compaction per Specifications are <br />properly aerated and processed to bring the moisture content of the material into the. <br />acceptable range of the optimum moisture content. <br />• Verify that clay soils that are too dry for proper compaction per Specifications are <br />properly moisture conditioned and processed to bring the moisture content into the <br />acceptable range of the optimum moisture content. <br />• Verify that acceptable moisture is maintained to reduce desiccation of the clay liner <br />surface. <br />• Verify that the clay liner surface is free of ruts, gouges, and other features that might <br />damage overlying geosynthetics. <br />• Coordinate with the Earthwork Contractor and Owner to perform verification surveys at <br />the completion of clay liner operations. Verify corrective action measures as determined <br />by verification surveys. Verification surveys will also be used to determine the limits of <br />clay liner and clay earthfill for measurement and payment applications. Submit copy of <br />verification surveys to the Construction Manager. <br />3.4.5 Subgrade Preparation <br />• Verify that grade control construction staking is performed prior to work. <br />Verify that angular or sharp rocks, and other debris that could damage the geomembrane <br />are removed from the surface of the subgrade. Verify that the subgrade is free of <br />irregularities and is steel drum rolled smooth prior to geosynthetic placement. <br />Page 21 <br />
