4.4 Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) <br /> 4.4.1 Delivery <br /> During delivery of GCL the QA/QC Inspector will: <br /> • Verify that equipment used to unload the rolls will not damage the GCL. <br /> • Verify that care is used to unload the rolls. <br /> • Verify that all documentation required by the Specifications has been received. <br /> • Verify that each roll is marked or tagged with the following information:manufacturer's <br /> name; project identification; lot number; roll number; roll dimensions. Log this <br /> information on the geosynthetic receipt form. <br /> • Verify that the geosynthetic receipt form is completed. <br /> • 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 /> 4.4.2 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 /> • Hydraulic conductivity of GCLs per ASTM D5084. <br /> Page 33 <br />
