Chevron u.s.A. <br /> Page 13 <br /> Based on the results of chemical analysis, the <br /> excavation activities were ceased and aeration of soils was <br /> commenced (see Section 5.3) . <br /> 5.2 Backfill and compaction <br /> Soil removed during the remediation effort was <br /> segregated, baaed on field screening, into "clean" and <br /> "dirty" stockpiles. The "clean" materials were replaced in <br /> the pit as an engineered fill. <br /> Filling began on February 19, 1990- Due to safety <br /> Considerations associated with the excavation sidewalls, the <br /> bottom 15 feet of the excavation was not checked for <br /> s , compaction. <br /> Fills were planed using h sheepsfoot roller at the end <br /> of the excavator arm. A minimum of seven passes were <br /> observed to be made an each lift. Fill pla~ed above the 15- <br /> feet level was compacted using a vibratory sheepsfoot roller, <br /> s <br /> of fills above the 15-feet level was <br /> Compaction testing <br /> -' performed by Twining Laboratories of Modesto, California. <br /> Specifications for compaction called for a minimum of 90$ <br /> relative compaction based on the ASTM D-1557-78 teat method <br /> for moisture content/density relationships. Fills were . <br /> tested at a maximum interval of 2 vertical feet <br /> 16000-250-044 <br /> corrected <br /> I)AI Alcsl»t;, <br />
