The GCL <br />will be installed in a way that prevents hydration of the mat prior to completion of <br />construction of the liner system. <br />• The GCL will not be installed during precipitation or other conditions that may cause <br />hydration of the GCL. <br />• The GCL will be installed with the woven geotextile up, or as otherwise indicated by the <br />GCL Manufacturer or Design Engineer. <br />• Geomembrane installation will immediately follow the GCL installation. All GCL that <br />is placed during a day's work will be covered with geomembrane before the <br />Geosynthetics Contractor leaves the site at the end of the day. <br />• Geomembrane will not be placed on a GCL that is hydrated. <br />• All seams in the geomembrane overlying a GCL will be welded after each geomembrane <br />panel is placed. Heat sealing of the seam alone is not acceptable. <br />• All defects in the geomembrane overlying a GCL and destructive sample locations will <br />be immediately repaired. <br />• Operations layer soil overlying the liner system components shall immediately follow the <br />installation of the geomembrane and other geosynthetics overlying the GCL. If areas <br />cannot be covered immediately due to steepness of slopes, visqueen or equivalent shall <br />be placed over any exposed GCL. The GCL shall be removed and replaced if it becomes <br />hydrated before the operations layer soil is placed. <br />• All hydrated GCL will be removed and replaced by the Geosynthetics Contractor at no <br />additional cost to the Owner. <br />• On slopes steeper than 10 horizontal to 1 vertical, all GCLs shall be continuous down the <br />slope; that is, no horizontal seam shall be allowed in the slope.
