El <br />The test program described herein was successful, in achieving the goal of <br />developing in-place density information for the selected ADC materials. The <br />authors feel that this program could be duplicated at other sites, and that the results <br />yielded could be repeated within a reasonably small range. <br />Thickness measurements require some judgment to determine just where cover <br />stops and MSW starts, due to the heterogeneous nature of MSW and the somewhat <br />rough surface to which the ADC is applied. It should also be noted that California <br />standards for the application of greenwaste ADC call for an average thickness of <br />between 6" and 12". Both test plots constructed with greenwaste resulted in > 12" <br />average thickness. <br />A summary of the test results are presented below: <br />Shredded greenwaste density had a range of 110.3 lb/cy, an average of <br />776.3 lb/cy, a standard deviation of 78.0 lb/cy and a coefficient of variation <br />of 10.05%. A possible explanation for this variation is that since the lower <br />result was produced on the sloped test plot, the shredded greenwaste <br />compacts less readily on a slope than it does on a flat deck. <br />TASW density had a range of 88.6 Ib/cy, all average of 1,124.8 Ib/cy, a <br />standard deviation of 62.65 lb/cy, and a coefficient of variation of 5.57%. <br />These measures indicate that placement and compaction of TASW was very <br />consistent during this test program. While TASW showed higher density on <br />the sloped test plot, no conclusion should be drawn without further testing <br />and a larger statistical population. <br />The results from the ADC Test Program conducted on October 11 and 12, 2006, <br />provide the necessary data to finalize the JTD Amendment. Allied and BAS are <br />ready to meet with the LEA to integrate the results of this ADC field testing into a <br />Joint Technical Document (JTD) Amendment. Allied will then prepare and submit <br />the JTD Amendment to comply with 27 CCR and reconcile LEA concerns with ADC <br />usage at the FL. <br />3-1 BRYAN A.
