<br /> <br /> <br />Forward Landfill WMU FU-23 6 GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINER (GCL) <br />02777 <br />b. A sample of each tested GCL shall be cut and tested for moisture content <br />[ASTM D 2216] before and after testing. Moisture contents shall be <br />recorded and submitted with the test results. The testing laboratory shall <br />submit a 6-inch square sample of the GCL from the roll used in the testing <br />to the QA/QC CONSULTANT. <br />c. The asperity of the geomembrane used in testing shall be recorded and the data submitted with the test results. The geomembrane used for testing shall be from one of the rolls that will be shipped to the site for construction of the liner. A 6-inch square sample of the geomembrane used in testing shall be submitted by the testing laboratory to the QA/QC CONSULTANT. <br />PART 3 EXECUTION <br />3.1 FAMILIARIZATION <br /> A. Prior to implementing any of the work described in this Section, the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall become thoroughly familiar with the site, the site conditions, and the portions of the work falling within this Section. <br /> B. Inspection: 1. Prior to implementing any of the work of this Section, the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR shall carefully inspect the installed work of all other Sections and verify that all such work is complete to the point where the installation of this Section may properly commence without adverse impact. 2. If the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR has any concern regarding the installed work of other Sections, he should immediately notify the QA/QC CONSULTANT prior to start of work of the Section. Installation of the geosynthetic clay liner will be construed as GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR'S acceptance of the related work of all other Sections, including the subgrade. <br />3.2 ACCEPTANCE TESTING <br /> A. Upon delivery to the site, samples of the geosynthetic clay liner shall be removed by the QA/QC CONSULTANT and tested to ensure conformance to these Specifications. Only materials passing the acceptance tests shall be installed. <br /> B. Samples shall be selected by the QA/QC CONSULTANT in accordance with the procedure outlined in the CQA Manual. <br /> C. Samples shall be taken at the rate of one sample per lot or one per 100,000 sq. ft (9,300 sq. m), whichever is greater and tested for bentonite mass per unit area, peel strength and hydraulic conductivity. Direct Shear tests as described in Section 2.1.A shall also be performed.
