Such sandbags will be installed during placement and will remain until <br />replaced with the overlying layer. <br /> GCLs will be cut using a utility knife in a manner approved by the QA/QC Inspector. <br />Care should be taken to prevent damage to any underlying liner system components <br />during cutting. <br /> During placement, care will be taken not to entrap stones, or moisture under the GCL. <br />Care will be taken not to drag equipment across the exposed GCL. <br /> Any GCL damaged by stones or other foreign objects, or installation activities will be <br />replaced at no additional cost to the Owner. <br /> The GCL will not be installed on a saturated subgrade or on standing water. The GCL <br />will be installed in a way that prevents hydration of the mat prior to completion of <br />construction of the liner system. <br /> The GCL will not be installed during precipitation or other conditions that may cause <br />hydration of the GCL.
