• Quality Assurance LS-7 Field Testing: Field testing to be conducted in accordance with ASTM Designation: D 1556, "Standard Test Method for Density of Soil In Place by the Sand Cone Method". The maximum dry density for the subgrade soils shall be corrected in accordance with AASHTO Designation: 224. "Standard Method of Correction for Coarse Particles in Soil Compaction Test" to establish target values for each compaction test. Said testing to be provided by the seepage inhibitor manufacturer. Performance Testing LS-8 Samples of the completed soil liner material will be taken by the seepage inhibitor manufacturer. These specimens will be tested to determine their permeability coefficient. Workmanship LS-9 General: The procedure for constructing the low permeability soil membrane is to place the liner in layers of six inches each. For this purpose, the lake shall be isolated into convenient sections for mixing, spreading, and compacting the layers of low permeability membrane. Note: In some cases, due to nature of soil, compacted area shall be flooded with water treated with seepage inhibitor. The need for treated water flooding to be determined by supplier of sealant materials. See section on flooding, page LS-4. LS-10 Membrane Formation: The formation of sealant membrane maybe accomplished by the following procedures 1. Where in place soil is specified "select soil", the lake bottom shall be over excavated by the specified lining thickness less six (6) inches. The lower six-inch compacted layer of the membrane shall be obtained by discing the subgrade and applying water and emulsion mixture and compacting as described herein under MIXING, SPREADING AND COMPACTION. All grades to be maintained plus or minus one tenth of a foot. 2. After the first layer is installed, compacted and finished, install the successive layer"s" in the same procedure as the first layer.
