Geosynthetic clay liners shall be cut using a utility blade in a manner approved by <br /> the QA/QC CONSULTANT. Any damage to any underlying liner system <br /> components during cutting will be repaired by the GEOSYNTHETICS <br /> CONTRACTOR,at no cost to the Owner. <br /> C.

Any geosynthetic clay liner damaged by stones or other foreign objects, or by <br /> installation activities, shall be replaced by the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR <br /> at no additional cost to the OWNER. <br /> E. The geosynthetic clay liner shall not be installed on an excessively moist subgrade <br /> or on standing water. The geosynthetic clay liner shall be installed in a way that <br /> prevents hydration prior to completion of construction of the liner system. <br /> F. The geosynthetic clay liner shall not be installed during precipitation or other <br /> conditions that may cause hydration of the geosynthetic clay liner. 0 <br /> G. The geosynthetic clay liner shall be installed as shown on the Construction <br /> Drawings,or as otherwise indicated by the Manufacturer, if approved by the QA/QC <br /> CONSULTANT. <br /> H. Geomembrane installation shall immediately follow the geosynthetic clay liner <br /> installation.

Geomembrane shall not be placed on a geosynthetic clay liner that is hydrated. <br /> J. All geomembrane seams shall be welded after each geomembrane panel is placed <br /> over the geosynthetic clay liner. Heat sealing of seams for geomembrane placed <br /> over GCL alone is not acceptable. <br /> K. All geomembrane defects and destructive sample locations shall be immediately <br /> repaired. <br /> L. Operations layer soil overlying the liner system components shall immediately <br /> follow the installation of the geomembrane and other geosynthetics overlying the <br /> geosynthetic clay liner. If areas cannot be covered immediately due to steepness of <br /> slopes, visqueen shall be placed over geosynthetic components overlying the <br /> geosynthetic clay liner. The geosynthetic clay liner shall be removed and replaced if <br /> Forward Landfill WMU FU-13 8 GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINER(GCL) <br /> 02777 <br />
