It is proposed to provide these services through five tasks Tasks 1 through 4 will include
the CQA services, and Task 5 will include the construction management services It
should be recognized that there would be some overlap of CQA and management duties
that will result in efficiencies of time and effort It is anticipated that a staff engineer who
will be on site 3 days per week during liner construction will provide construction
management The staff engineer will be able to assist the CQA monitor with construction
observations, thereby eliminating some of the days a second monitor would be required
Additionally, it is expected that the professional of record will not be required to spend as
much time on site
2 2 Task 1 - Field Observation
Field Observation
This task includes all labor and expenses associated with providing full-time field CQA
services for cell constmcuon as required by the permit, the SLQCP, and specifications
Prior to commencement of construction, the EMCON CQA personnel will meet at the
project site with representatives of the owner and the contractor(s) to review and
coordinate project schedules The roles and responsibilities of each party, lines of
commtmmaUon, and documentation review procedures, as well as any other significant
issues will be discussed and agreed upon
Subgrade Construction Observations
EMCON will observe the quality of the subgrade of the landfill cell and any structural fill
that may be required to achieve the required subgrade elevations In-place density tests
and proof-rolhng will be used to determine subgrade density and uniformity Observed
deficiencies will be identified for remedial work
Compacted Clay L~ner Momtonng
The following monitoring and testing activities will be provided on a full-time basis by
experienced personnel during constmctlon of the clay liner The number of soil tests
proposed for the clay liner Is shown in Appendix B

with the TNRCC Llnet Construction and Testing Handbook (July 1994) and the
SLQCP
· Cooperate with the owner's surveyor in order to achieve the necessary horizontal
and vertical control and record drawings The surveyor should provide a liner
thickness drawing with as-bmlt coordinates for the liner Survey documentation
should Include elevations at a mlmmum of one grid point per 5,000 square feet
for thickness measurements and sufficient points to define the liner perimeter
The as-budt drawing should indicate the subgrade elevation and top of liner
elevation and liner thickness for each of the points Additionally, coordinates
for the limits of the hner and future tie-in area should be provided
Soils testing will be performed in EMCON's geotechnical laboratory in Fort Worth,
Texas, as discussed under the Conformance Testing Section
Geomembrane Liner Construction Observations
Prior to construction, the geomembrane (GM) manufacturer wall submit to EMCON the
quality control certificates for the material to be installed at the facility These
certificates will be reviewed by EMCON's CQA monitor to verify that a certificate has
been received for all GM rolls on site
The CQA monitor will observe all materials for defects and damage ReJection of
materials will be at the discretion of EMCON Small defects wdl be repaired by the
geosynthetlcs installer EMCON will check and verify that materials are stored in a place
that will prevent damage from weather fuels, or other contaminants
The CQA momtor will inventory the geosynthetlcs materials delivered to the site This
inventory will consist of roll number, batch/lot number, w~dth and length of roll, and
whether or not the manufacturer's quality control certificate for the roll has been
received The CQA monitor will obtain samples of all geosynthetlcs for conformance
testing
Immediately after placement of geomembrane panels by the installer, the CQA monitor
will inspect and record each panel to detect any defect or damage caused by installation
operation or uplift by wind Rejection of panels or portions of panels will be at the
FW~C \WINDOWS\TEMP\DcntonCQAProp DOC\201 00\jw I EMCON
803321 2-3 Rev I 6/9/00
discretion of the CQA momtor Rejected panels or portions of panels w~ll be marked and
removed from the working area and stored ~n an area separate from the material being
used for construction ofth~s cell
Prior to field seaming of panels, each seeming apparatus/operator will have a
quahficatmn test to verify that seaming condttmns are adequate The installer w~ll
perfotan these tests on scrap p~eces of geomembrane at the beg~nmng of the seaming
period for each seaming apparatus used in accordance with the requirements of the
speclficatmns
Pre-weld quahficatton test reports w~ll ~nclude date, welding techmc~an initials, seaming
apparatus number and temperature, apparatus seaming speed, and test results These tests
w~ll be observed and recorded by CQA personnel
EMCON wall record all seaming activities including (1) observing that seams have
proper overlap, (2) verifying that the areas to be seamed are clean and free of debris,
(3) the date, (4) machine number and temperature, and (5) seam number Th~s record
w~ll also reflect the test date, the location, and number of any destructive samples
Defects, patches, and mr pressure test locations will be assigned a number that wall be
marked on the geomembrane for locatmn purposes Thru log wdl also reflect the test and
repair dates, along with a comment identifying the type of defect and ~ts locatmn
EMCON wall record daily act~vlties, which shall ~nclude but are not hmtted to
· Dally observations of GM installation activities and recording of defects during
transportatmn and handling
· Observation and documentation of anchor trench excavation, backfilling, and
compaction
· Observanons and documentauon of seams around appurtenances, and
connectmns to appurtenances
The Owner's project surveyor wall be responsible for prov~thng as-built survey
documentatmn Coordinates and elevatmns should be provided for each hner perimeter
point EMCON wall coorthnate and review the as-built documentanon If the surveyor ~s
preparing an as-bmlt panel drawing, EMCON wall provide panel numbers and destructive

Leachate Collection System and Protective Cover Construction Observations
Rolls of geotext~les, geocomposltes or geonets, and samples of aggregate dehvered to the
site will be verified for conformance with the project specifications EMCON will
document materials, confirmation test data, roll tags or packing lists, and other pertinent
data Sanltples of coarse aggregate will be collected for gradation analyses and carbonate
content evaluation
The pipe installation and connections will be observed by EMCON for general
conformance with the plans The manufacturer's technical data and certifications will be
collected for the project records
EMCON will examine the protective cover soil and note the placement of the protective
cover for any conditions or materials which could damage the liner or leachate systems
The owners' surveyor will provide the as-built liner and protective cover documentation
The survey should include at a mlmmum
· Elevations of the subgrade, top of clay liner, and top of protective cover for the
previously discussed control points
· Calculated thickness for the clay liner and protectxve cover for each survey point
· Coordinates and elevations for selected points along the LCS pipes
· As-bmlt coordinates for the liner
2 3 Task 2 - Laboratory Testing
Pre-construction Borrow Laboratory Testing
EMCON is in the process of conducting tests of soil samples from an on-site stockpile It
is anticipated that these results will be used for the most part during liner construcnon
However, it is expected that at least one to two more samples will be obtained during
liner construction Laboratory testing of borrow samples will include Atterberg limits,
minus 200 sieve analysis, standard Proctor moisture/density relationships, and
permeability (hydraulic conductivity) tests This information wdl be used as the basis for
moisture and density testing during construction of tl~e clay liner The proposed testing
for the clay borrow is identified in Appendix B
FW~C \WINDOWSWEMP\DentonCQAProp DOC\201 00\jw I EMCON
803321 2-5 Rev I 6/9/00
Material Conformance Testing
Material conformance testing will be conducted n3 accordance with the SLQCP
Conformance testing wxll be conducted on the soils, geomembrane, and the drmnage
aggregate, Soil and drainage aggregate testing will be performed by EMCON in our Fort
Worth geotechmcal laboratory Testing of geosynthet~cs will be conducted ~n EMCON's
accredited geosynthet~c laboratory
Sod test results will generally be available w~th~n 3 to 5 days after receipt in the
laboratory Hydraulic conductivity (permeabdity) testing is given top priority and those
results can generally be available w~th~n 3 days Geosynthetic conformance tests
normally take 3 to 4 days Geomembrane peel and shear seam test results w~ll faxed to
the site (and geotechmcal professional) w~th~n 24 hours of receipt ~n the laboratory
Prmnty samples, ~nclud~ng hydrauhc conductivity and seam test samples, will be shipped
for priority overnight dehvery to the laboratory the day sampled
Conformance testing quantities for the HDPE were based on an ~nstalled area of
approximately 13 acres Based on these quant~tms, 6 sets of conformance tests will be
reqmred This quantity of conformance testing ~s based on the area of the geomembrane
and does not take into account the number of material lots If the material ~s produced
from more than six raw material lots, addmonal conformance testing w~ll be required
Peel and shear tests 0 e, destructive tests) will be conducted on GM seam samples during
installation Peel and shear test quantities are based on the cumulative length of seams
For est~mating purposes, it was assumed that the panels would be 22 5 feet w~de and that
the panel layout would be simple and straightforward If there are more than one or two
seam failures or ~f the panel layout ~s complicated, addmonal seam testing may be
required
2 4 Task 3 - S~te V~s~ts and Coordination
The engineer of record (certifying engineer) will visit the site as necessary to observe
liner quality assurance testing and construction acnwtles Based on gmdance from
TNRCC regarding certfficat~on reports, it is anticipated that site v~slts will be conducted
lmtially to observe the subgrade (and attend a pre-constructmn meeting), one to two t~mes
each week dunng liner construction, and after completmn to observe the protective cover
Coordlnatmn ~ncludes the time and costs associated with the following
· Coordmatmn with field personnel
