Description:
This Technical Guidance Document provides comprehensive guidance on procedures for quality assurance and quality control for waste containment facilities. The document includes a discussion of principles and concepts, compacted soil liners, soil drainage systems, geosynthetic drainage systems, vertical cutoff walls, ancillary materials, appurtenances, and other details. The guidance document outlines critical quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) issues for each major segment and recommends specific procedures, observations, tests, corrective actions, and record keeping requirements. For geosynthetics, QA and QC practices for both manufacturing and construction are suggested. The main body of the text details recommended procedures for quality assurance and control. Appendices include a list of acronyms, glossary, and index. A companion document was under development by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) at the time of this writing that will contain all of the ASTM standards referenced in this guidance document as well as most, if not all, of the other test procedures that are referenced in this guidance document. This report was submitted in fulfillment of CR-815546 by the University of Texas, Austin, under the sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers a period from June 1991 to July 1993, and work was completed as of August 1993.
