SAMPLE<br />

4.2.2 – Mix Designs<br />

Earthwork Materials “Mix Designs” are generally not required. Source Characterization<br />

testing will determine whether specific Earthwork Materials sources meet the specification<br />

requirements for a particular material type required (i.e. Ordinary Borrow, Gravel Borrow,<br />

Special Borrow, etc.).<br />

4.3 – Processing of Existing Materials<br />

Where On-Site excavate proposed to be used for Earthwork is found to not meet<br />

specification requirements, the following procedures will be used to process or blend the<br />

material to meet the requirements of a specific Earthwork Material Type:<br />

▼ A blended material “Mix Design” will be developed by the Project Laboratory.<br />

▼ A stockpile of the excavate, not to exceed one day’s production, will be blended with<br />

other material per the “Mix Design.”<br />

▼ At the completion of blending of the stockpile, samples will be obtained <strong>and</strong> Source<br />

Characterization testing will be performed to confirm that the blended material meets the<br />

specification requirements.<br />

4.4 – Material Storage <strong>and</strong> Stockpiling<br />

All Earthwork materials will be properly stored <strong>and</strong> maintained to prevent contamination or<br />

commingling of different materials. Storage <strong>and</strong> stockpiling procedures will be as follows:<br />

▼ The limits of each storage or stockpile location will be clearly marked by grade stakes<br />

legibly marked indicating the corresponding Source Characterization sample number (i.e.<br />

SC-1, SC-2, etc.) contained in the Project “Soils Source Characterization Log.”<br />

▼ All active/working stockpiles of Earthwork materials will be characterized in accordance<br />

with Section 4.2.1 above a minimum of once per week.<br />

5.0 Quality Control Sampling <strong>and</strong> Testing<br />

The requirements <strong>and</strong> procedures to be used for QC sampling <strong>and</strong> testing of Earthwork are as<br />

indicated below.<br />

5.1 – Lot <strong>and</strong> Sublot Sizes<br />

Each Lot of Earthwork material will represent material from the same source, be produced or<br />

obtained under the same controlled process, <strong>and</strong> will possess normally distributed specification<br />

properties. Each Lot will be divided into Sublots of equal size in order to assess the Quality<br />

Characteristics of the Lot. The Lot size <strong>and</strong> corresponding Sublot size for each Earthwork Item<br />

are identified in the following table.<br />
