accurate. The presentation of survey data for control point monitoring shall include tables and graphs which present down-slope and vertical displacement. These tables and graphs shall be updated weekly. Submit
weekly reports within [3] [_____] days of the end of the week in which data was obtained.
3.3.9 Final Geosynthetics InspectionAfter the post-construction monitoring period, [select fill] [and]
[granular drainage layer material] shall be removed from a [3] [_____] by
[6] [_____] meter [10] [_____] by [20] [_____] foot area of the test fill at a location selected by the QC inspector. Soils shall be removed from the geosynthetics such that the geosynthetics are not damaged and their
relative positions are maintained. The QC inspector shall visually inspect each layer of geosynthetics and document areas of damage. At the QC inspector's discretion, additional areas of the test fill shall be examined in a similar manner. The inspection operation shall be [photographed]
[and] [video taped].
3.3.10 Final Report
The final report shall include the following: construction and monitoring test results; final geosynthetic inspection data; and conclusions related to test fill construction and monitoring. The QC inspector shall review the final report and certify its accuracy. A copy of the [photographs]
[and] [videotape] of the test fill construction and monitoring shall be included. Submit final report within [7] [_____] days of the completion of the "Final Geosynthetics Inspection". Allow [7] [_____] days for review and approval of the final report.
3.4 APPROVAL
Full-scale construction shall not begin until the Contracting Officer has approved the final report. The test fill shall be rejected if the
Contractor's placement methods result in damage to system components or there is down-slope movement of any of the test fill survey control points. If rejected, the test fill shall be removed. A new test fill construction plan shall be submitted and another test fill shall be
constructed and monitored at no additional cost to the Government. Only materials, methods, and equipment used in the approved test fill shall be used for full-scale construction.
3.5 REMOVAL**************************************************************************NOTE: In some cases, the test fill may be
incorporated into the final cover or liner.
Connection requirements should be specified if this
option is utilized.
**************************************************************************After approval of the final post-construction monitoring report, remove the test fill. [Select fill] [and] [granular drainage] material may be
salvaged for use during full scale construction unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. If reused, stockpile and protect these materials from contamination. The clay layer shall be removed and
discarded or used as random fill. Geosynthetics shall be removed and discarded.
