Log this <br />information on the geosynthetic receipt form. <br /> <br /> Verify that the geosynthetic receipt form is completed. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />4.4.2 Acceptance Testing <br /> <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 /> <br />As a minimum, the following will be established: <br /> <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 />
