2.6.5 Geotextile Placement<br />

Geotextile fabric was placed as required by Section 07115 of <strong>the</strong> technical<br />

specifications and as described herein. Correspondence from <strong>the</strong><br />

manufacturer provided additional instructions regarding storage, handling<br />

and installation, and is included in Appendix D (James M. Cramer, Vice<br />

President, Nilex USA Inc., California Branch, letter dated February 13,<br />

1988). Following <strong>the</strong> manufacturer's instructions, <strong>the</strong> seams of <strong>the</strong><br />

geotextile were not bonded, but were overlapped two feet to provide proper<br />

continuity of <strong>the</strong> fabric.<br />

2.6.6 Gravel Placement<br />

The Class 2 aggregate base layer for <strong>the</strong> top 6 inches of <strong>the</strong> cap was placed<br />

as required by Section 02200 of <strong>the</strong> technical specifications. The<br />

aggregate was dumped and spread with a Massey Ferguson loader and compacted<br />

with a Bomag 100 roller. Moisture was added as required to achieve proper<br />

compaction. The base was spread and compacted so that <strong>the</strong> trucks always<br />

ran over <strong>the</strong> compacted base and did not disturb <strong>the</strong> liner. Compaction<br />

around <strong>the</strong> wells, fence tubes and Christy boxes was achieved with a hand-<br />

held Wacker rammer-type compactor.<br />

2.6.7 Pavinq of <strong>the</strong> Drivewav and Surface chi^ Seal<br />

Paving of <strong>the</strong> driveway and installation of <strong>the</strong> chip seal coating on <strong>the</strong> cap<br />

was performed as required by Sections 02510 and 02605 of <strong>the</strong> technical<br />

specifications. Inspection of <strong>the</strong> site after rainfall indicated that<br />

drainage from <strong>the</strong> site was working effectively and no ponding was evident.<br />

Some additional work was performed to protect <strong>the</strong> DHS monitoring wells on<br />

site and provide ease of access to <strong>the</strong>se wells. Christy boxes were<br />

installed around five monitoring wells within <strong>the</strong> cap area, flush with <strong>the</strong><br />

final grade. Structural concrete was used to cement inside <strong>the</strong> box and<br />

bring <strong>the</strong> well grout back up to final grade.
