• Verify that materials are stored in a location that will protect the rolls from ultraviolet <br />light exposure, precipitation, mud, dirt, dust, puncture, cutting, or any other damaging or <br />deleterious conditions. <br />Any damaged rolls may be rejected. Verify that rejected material is removed from the site or stored <br />at a location separate from accepted rolls. GCL rolls that do not have proper manufacturer's <br />documentation must also be stored at a separate location, until all documentation has been received <br />and approved. <br />4.5.2 Acceptance Testing <br />Tests. The QA/QC Consultant will ensure that samples are removed and forwarded to the <br />Geosynthetic CQA Laboratory for testing at a frequency of one sample per lot or one per 100,000 sq. <br />ft., whichever is more stringent, to ensure conformance to both the Specifications and the <br />Manufacturers list of guaranteed properties. The material will be sampled at the site by the QA/QC <br />Inspectors or at the manufacturing plant by an independent third party under the direction of the <br />QA/QC Consultant. <br />As a minimum, the following will be established: <br />• Bentonite mass per unit area per ASTM D5993; <br />® Peel strength of GCLs per ASTM D4632; and <br />e Hydraulic conductivity of GCLs per ASTM D5084. <br />Direct Shear Testing (ASTM D5321). The QA/QC Consultant shall perform a direct shear test <br />(minimum one test per project or material type) between the project specific GCL, textured <br />geomembrane, and geocomposite drainage net per ASTM D5321 and as described in the <br />Specifications. <br />The QA/QC Manager will review all acceptance test results and report any non-conformance to the <br />Construction Manager and Contractor. <br />Sampling Procedures. Samples will be taken across the entire width of the roll. Unless otherwise <br />specified, samples will be 3 ft (1 m) long by the roll width. The QA/QC Consultant will mark the <br />machine direction on the samples with an arrow. <br />Test Results. The QA/QC Consultant will examine all results from laboratory acceptance testing and <br />will report any nonconformance to the Construction Manager. <br />Acceptance Test Failure. If a GCL acceptance sample does not comply with the minimum <br />requirements of the Specifications, the GCL roll from which the sample was taken will be failed by <br />0 Page 43 <br />
