UFGS 02 66 10 Test Fill
The random fill layer shall extend a minimum of [1.5] [_____] meters [5]
[_____] feet beyond the edge of the upper surface of the test fill.
3.1.3 Slope**************************************************************************
NOTE: In situations where compaction of soil on side slopes is a concern, the specified slope for the test fill should represent the steepest designed
slope.
**************************************************************************The completed slope of each layer in the test fill shall be [_____] horizontal on 1 vertical.
3.2 PLACEMENT**************************************************************************NOTE: Benches and haul roads are other potential
components of a landfill cover that can be modeled
by a test fill. A good deal of construction
activity is required to construct benches. This
increased construction activity may result in damage
to the underlying cover system. The movement of
large vehicles on haul roads may also cause damage to the cover system.**************************************************************************
3.2.1 Clearing and Grubbing
Clear and grub the area beneath the test fill and [3] [_____] meters [10]
[_____] feet beyond the edges of the test fill in accordance with Section 31 11 00 CLEARING AND GRUBBING.3.2.2 Subgrade CompactionAfter clearing and grubbing, the existing landfill surface beneath the test fill and [3] [_____] meters [10] [_____] feet beyond the edges of the test fill shall be compacted as described in Section [31 00 00 EARTHWORK]
[_____].
3.2.3 Drainage Controls
Before beginning construction, construct drainage controls around the test fill to protect it from erosion damage. The drainage control shall be maintained until completion of the post-construction monitoring period.3.2.4 Anchor Trench**************************************************************************
NOTE: Anchor trenches are often not required for
the construction of a test fill. An anchor trench
allows specific interfaces to be tested for
interface stability. Delete this paragraph when an
anchor trench will not be a component of the test
fill.
**************************************************************************Construct an anchor trench along the full width of the top edge of the test
