Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 <br /> TEST PAD CQA RESULTS, HARNEY LANE SANITARY LANDFILL, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> (CASE# 2598) <br /> We have reviewed the technical report titled "Summary of Test Pad Results" for San Joaquin <br /> County's (County) Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill prepared by Kleinfelder, Inc. <br /> Section 2541 of California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Chapter 15 (Chapter 15) requires that the <br /> construction methods and materials that are used during actual construction of a low permeability <br /> clay liner (final cover) be field tested to ensure that the performance requirements can be met. <br /> Section 2541 of Chapter 15 also requires that the construction material have at least 30%, by weight, <br /> pass a No. 200 sieve and be classified as SC, CL, CH under the Uniform Soil Classification system. <br /> A test pad can be used to demonstrate that construction material and procedures to be used in the <br /> actual final cover will meet Chapter 15 requirements. The County constructed a test pad to <br /> demonstrate that the proposed materials and procedures would meet Chapter 15 requirements. <br /> Kleinfelder was hired to conduct the quality assurance and quality control tests to verify that the test <br /> pad was constructed properly and that results from the test pad construction could be used to <br /> construct the final cover. <br /> The Kleinfelder report presented results of laboratory and field tests which indicate the following: <br /> 1. Based on information presented in the report, it appears that the initial foundation <br /> layer compaction did not meet the required construction standards specified in the <br /> CQA workplan. <br /> 2. The SM material appears to have been difficult to compact to the specified relative <br /> compaction. <br /> 3. None of the construction material was classified as SC, CL, or CH. Only the ML and <br /> ML/Ione clay mixture had greater than 30% passing, by weight, the No. 200 sieve. <br />
