1.0  INTRODUCTION 


1.1  Project/Site  Description 

The  project  area  is  located  at  the  mouth  of  French  Coulee,  in  the  NW1/4,  SE1/4, 
Sec  26,  T19N,  R6E  on  the  Belt,  MT,  7.5  minute  USGS  topographic  quadrangle  (Figure  1). 
It  lies  approximately  0.5  miles  south  of  Belt,  Montana  between  Anaconda  Road  to  the 
southwest  and  the  Burlington  Northern  Railroad  tracks  to  the  northeast.  Landowners 
include  Mayme  Ballatore  and  Mary  and  Ken  Martin  of  Belt,  Beatrice  MacLeod  of  Langly, 
Washington,  Harriet  Stanton  of  Tulsa,  Oklahoma  and  the  Burlington  Northern  Railroad. 

The  physiography  of  the  Belt  area  is  characterized  by  flat,  benchlike  uplands 
dissected  by  numerous  creeks  and  coulees.  Mississippian,  Jurassic  and  Cretaceous 
sedimentary  rocks  are  exposed  in  the  area  and  are  responsible  for  the  majority  of 
prominent  landforms.  The  Cretaceous  Kootenai  sandstone  serves  as  a caprock  as  well 
as  a local  and  regional  aquifer.  The  Kootenai  non-conformably  overlays  the  Jurassic 
Morrison  Formation,  the  top  of  which  contains  a 4 to  1 5 foot  zone  of  black,  carbonaceous 
shale  and  bituminous  coal  (Osborne  et  al  1987).  It  is  this  coal  seam  which  was  mined 
extensively  in  the  Belt  area  and  French  Coulee  until  the  1940’s,  at  which  time  the  demand 
for  coal  to  fuel  railroad  engines  was  significantly  diminished  as  a result  of  the  advent  of 
the  diesel  engine. 

Surface  water  and  precipitation  infiltrating  through  soils  and  groundwater  leaking 
through  fractures  in  the  overlying  Kootenai  into  the  abandoned  mine  workings  results  in 
the  oxidation  and  hydrolysis  of  pyrite  found  in  the  coal  and  associated  waste  rock  and 
leads  to  the  formation  of  acid  mine  drainage  (AMD). 

Prior  to  construction,  AMD  from  French  Coulee  was  piped  under  a highway  fill  (MT 
Highway  87)  and  into  2 collection  boxes  located  immediately  west  of  Anaconda  Road. 
From  these  boxes  AMD  entered  a 6 inch  clay  pipe  and  flowed  east  under  Anaconda 
Road  and  then  north  for  approximately  1000  feet  to  a point  where  it  discharged  from  the 
pipe  into  a drainage  ditch  and  again  flowed  overland  to  the  east  under  the  BN  tracks  into 
a rip-rap  ditch,  joining  with  a much  larger  discharge  of  AMD  from  the  old  Anaconda  mine 
and  eventually  flowing  into  Belt  Creek. 

1.2  Site  Problems  and  Project  Objectives 

From  the  beginning  of  the  project,  the  French  Coulee  Constructed  Wetland  was 
planned  as  an  experimental  project.  Although  wetlands  have  been  used  to  treat  AMD  at 
eastern  coal  mines,  success  there  has  not  been  universal  and  much  remains  to  be 
learned  about  the  mechanisms  and  design  parameters  for  successful  application  of  the

technology.  Sulfate  reducing  bacteria  are  believed  to  play  an  important  role  in  removing 
both  sulfate  and  dissolved  metals  in  the  form  of  metal  sulfides.  Maintenance  of  reducing 
conditions  in  the  wetland  is  required  for  these  bacteria  to  be  active.  This  means  an 
abundance  of  decaying  organic  matter  must  be  present  and  oxygen  should  be  excluded 
to  the  greatest  extent  possible.  Application  of  wetland  treatment  technology  to  western 
sites  has  not  been  as  common  as  it  has  been  in  the  east.  AMD  at  western  sites  is 
typically  more  acidic  and  higher  in  iron  than  that  found  in  the  east  and  this  makes 
treatment  more  difficult.  Consequently,  the  principal  objective  of  the  project  was  to 
provide  a large  scale  platform  to  test  the  effectiveness  of  a wetland  for  treatment  of  AMD. 
With  this  in  mind,  the  project  was  designed  for  flexibility  in  controlling  water  distribution 
to  the  treatment  cells.  Any  cell  can  be  operated  for  either  upflow  mode  through  the 
substrate,  downflow  mode  through  the  substrate  or  crossflow  mode  over  the  substrate 
surface. 

Even  though  the  area  was  the  subject  of  previous  AMR  work,  it  was  still  impacted 
by  problems  related  to  the  AMD  and  previous  mine  operations.  The  collection  boxes 
installed  for  interception  and  diversion  of  mine  drainage  showed  evidence  of  periodic 
plugging  and  overflow  producing  burnouts  on  residential  property.  The  drainage  ditch 
leading  to  the  culvert  under  the  BN  tracks  also  overflowed  periodically  with  extensive 
areas  of  acid  burnout  in  the  area  where  cell  2 was  located.  In  addition  there  were  areas 
of  coal  spillage  throughout  the  site  which  had  been  used  for  loading  railcars  during  the 
era  of  active  mining.

2.0  RESPONSIBLE  PARTIES 


2.1  Contractor 

The  prime  contractor  for  the  project  was  Ed  Boland  Construction,  Inc.  of  Great 
Falls,  Montana.  Earthwork  on  the  project  was  done  by  W S Repair  of  Great  Falls  as  a 
temporary  employee  of  Boland  Construction.  Formwork  and  concrete  work  was  done 
by  Tom  Skovron  of  Great  Falls,  also  as  a temporary  employee  of  Boland.  Subcontractors 
to  Boland  were  Northwest  Fence  of  Great  Falls  for  fencing  and  Western  Industries  of 
Miles  City  for  HDPE  liner  and  geofabric  installation. 

2.2  Engineer 

Both  design  and  construction  supervision  for  the  project  were  provided  by  Schafer 
and  Associates  of  Bozeman,  Montana.  Project  Manager  was  Ed  Spotts.  The 
responsibilities  for  Construction  Inspector  and  project  administration  were  shared  jointly 
by  Mr.  Spotts  and  Mr.  Tom  Hudson. 

2.3  AMRB  Manager 

Montana  AMRB  Project  Manager  for  the  French  Coulee  Constructed  Wetland  was 
Mr.  Stu  Levit.

3.0  CONTRACT  INFORMATION 


3,1  Bidding  and  Pre-Construction  Administration 

In  January  of  1990,  Schafer  and  Associates  was  retained  by  the  Montana 
Department  of  State  Lands  - Abandoned  Mine  Reclamation  Bureau  to  design  a wetland 
to  treat  acid  mine  drainage  (AMD)  emanating  from  abandoned  coal  mines  in  French 
Coulee.  A bid  package  was  prepared  and  advertisements  were  placed  in  major  Montana 
newspapers  for  a period  of  three  weeks  by  Montana  DSL-AMRB.  The  bid  period  was 
opened  on  June  10,  1990  and  closed  on  June  28,  1990.  A pre-bid  conference  was  held 
on  June  19,  1991.  Two  bids  were  received  and  are  shown  below.  A complete  Bid 
Tabulation  is  provided  in  Attachment  1. 

1.  Ed  Boland  Construction,  Inc.  2.  Schumaker  Construction 
Great  Falls,  MT.  Great  Falls,  MT. 

$ 592,253.16  $ 689,643.63 

Both  bids  were  higher  than  the  Engineer’s  estimate  of  $ 409,730.00.  Contractors 
bids  were  substantially  higher  than  the  engineer’s  estimate  in  the  areas  of  sand  and 
gravel  substrate  placement,  soil  anchor  mat  placement  and  in  the  some  of  the  piping 
items.  Boland  typically  was  most  competitive  on  items  related  to  piping  while  Schumaker 
provided  the  most  competitive  bid  on  cell  construction  and  material  placement  in  the 
cells.  This  may  be  a reflection  of  the  particular  area  of  strength  of  each  bidder.  Boland 
does  a great  deal  of  piping  contract  work  while  Schumaker’s  strength  is  in  earthwork. 

There  were  significant  variations  for  unit  prices  on  some  items.  Schumaker  was 
over  three  times  as  high  for  excavation  and  embankment,  a lump  sum  item.  We  believe 
that  the  level  of  effort  put  forth  by  Boland  in  this  area  was  not  covered  by  the  bid  amount. 
Schumaker  was  also  three  times  higher  for  the  Parshall  flume  construction.  Again,  we 
do  not  feel  that  the  bid  covered  Boland’s  costs  in  this  area.  Finally,  Schumaker  was 
substantially  higher  for  cattail  planting,  Pay  Item  27.  This  is  an  area  in  which  neither 
bidder  had  much  experience  to  draw  on.  Boland’s  bid  was  probably  fairly  close  to  the 
mark. 


The  bid  tabulation  seems  to  indicate  that  Boland  put  substantially  more  effort  into 
the  preparation  of  its  bid.  Schumaker’s  bid  is  characterized  by  unit  costs  which  are 
round  numbers.  For  example,  unit  costs  between  $ 1.00  and  $ 10.00  are  all  in  even 
dollar  amounts  and  those  over  $ 1 0.00  are  rounded  to  the  nearest  $ 5.00.  Boland  on  the 
other  hand  appears  to  have  worked  up  a unit  cost  for  each  item  and  carried  it  out  to  two 
or  three  significant  digits.  This  may  have  allowed  Boland  to  make  a more  competitive  bid 
than  Schumaker. 


3-1 


A contract  for  $ 592,253.16  was  awarded  on  July  5,  1990  to  Boland  Construction 
and  an  Agreement  was  executed  with  DSL  on  August  15th,  1990.  A Notice  to  Proceed 
was  issued  on  August  28,  1990  and  construction  start-up  commenced  the  same  day. 

3.2  Construction  Administration 

A pre-construction  meeting  was  held  at  the  site  on  August  13th,  1990  with  Barry 
Boland,  Don  Hanson  and  Matt  Weingart  of  Boland  Construction,  Tom  Hudson  and  Ed 
Spotts  of  Schafer  and  Associates  and  Stu  Levit  of  AMRB  in  attendance.  However, 
because  of  some  late  concerns  of  Mr.  Frank  Ballatore  (on  behalf  of  Mayme  Ballatore) 
regarding  resurveying  of  existing  property  boundaries,  construction  start-up  was  delayed 
until  August  28th.  Resurveying  revealed  that  the  existing  fenceline  between  property 
owned  by  Mrs.  Ballatore  and  the  Martins  was  improperly  located  by  approximately  40 
feet,  confirming  the  belief  of  all  landowners  involved.  The  survey  conducted  was  difficult 
because  of  the  lack  of  useable  monuments  but  boundaries  were  closed  with  an  accuracy 
of  approximately  4 feet.  The  survey  was  recorded  in  the  public  record  so  that  it  would 
be  of  use  to  the  public  in  the  future. 

The  project  benefited  from  exceptionally  good  weather  which  resulted  in  relatively 
few  delays.  Although  a work  stoppage  was  not  issued,  work  was  delayed  on  November 
5th  and  6th  due  to  inclement  weather.  Work  was  stopped  for  the  winter  on  December 
14th  with  only  a few  minor  tasks  outstanding.  This  consisted  primarily  of  completion  of 
fencing,  seeding,  cattail  planting,  wetland  flooding  and  tying  in  AMD  collection  points  to 
the  8 inch  main.  These  tasks  were  completed  during  the  period  of  April  22,  1991  to  May 
9,  1991.  Change  Order  No.  4,  issued  on  May  22,  1991,  provided  for  the  planting  of 
shrubs  on  wetland  berms  and  other  areas  at  the  request  of  Stu  Levit  of  AMRB.  Because 
of  the  onset  of  warm  weather  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  delay  planting  of  shrubs  until 
the  fall.  The  final  payment  request  provided  funds  ($  2,000.00)  for  this  work.  Payment 
was  held  by  AMRB  until  completion  of  the  work.  The  planting  was  done  on  October  17th 
and  18th,  1991. 

3.3  Equipment  and  Methods 

Construction  of  the  French  Coulee  Wetland  required  careful  sequencing  of  events 
in  order  that  the  project  could  be  completed  without  delays.  The  sections  below  describe 
the  major  activities  of  the  project  and  equipment  used  to  do  the  work.  The  design  of  the 
project,  utilizing  three  separate  cells,  was  a distinct  asset  in  the  construction  phase 
because  it  made  it  possible  to  maintain  three  levels  of  completion  so  that  a delay  on  one 
cell  would  not  cause  the  entire  project  to  slow  down.

3.3.1  Earthwork 


Excavation  and  embankment  work  was  done  with  a 5 cy  Wagner  scraper- 
hauler  where  there  was  no  evidence  of  the  presence  of  coal  waste.  Topsoil  was 
salvaged  from  excavation  and  fill  areas  whenever  there  was  no  evidence  of  coal 
waste  and  stockpiled  in  separate  areas  according  to  property  ownership  for 
measurement  and  payment.  Salvaged  topsoil  was  used  to  provide  for  some  of  the 
project’s  topsoil  needs  although  substantial  additional  topsoil  purchases  from  more 
distant  sources  were  required.  Berms  forming  the  cell  were  constructed  from 
material  excavated  from  the  bottom  of  the  cells  and  from  a borrow  area  nearby. 
The  borrow  area  identified  and  purchased  from  landowners  was  a knob  near 
Anaconda  Road  on  the  property  boundary  between  Ballatore’s  and  Martin’s. 
There  was  sufficient  material  on  hand  here  to  complete  the  earthwork.  The  leveling 
of  the  knob  was  also  a major  improvement  to  the  land  in  that  it  provided  more 
useable  land  for  hay  production  and  improved  the  view  of  residences  across  the 
street.  An  aging  utility  pole  located  on  the  knob  was  replaced  by  Montana  Power 
and  Light  at  no  cost  to  the  project. 

Berms  were  constructed  with  continuous  compaction  provided  by  a 
Caterpillar  D-4  tractor  pulling  a sheepsfoot.  Water  was  applied  periodically  for  dust 
control  and  to  aid  in  compaction.  A 1000  gallon  truck  with  spray  bar  was  sufficient 
for  this  task.  Each  load  delivered  by  the  scraper-hauler  was  followed  by 
compaction  with  the  sheepsfoot  and  periodic  watering  as  required.  Compaction 
testing  by  Chen-Northern  verified  that  greater  than  95  percent  compaction  was 
achieved.  The  D-4  was  also  used  for  initial  clearing  and  grubbing.  However,  a 
D-7  was  found  to  be  more  effective  for  most  clearing  because  of  its  greater  power 
and  blade  width. 

Occasional  areas  of  extensive  coal  spillage  were  encountered.  When  this 
occurred,  the  material  was  stockpiled  for  measurement  and  payment.  The  coal 
waste  stockpile  was  eventually  relocated  next  to  the  BN  tracks  between  cell  2 and 
cell  3.  In  this  position  it  provided  the  base  for  a roadway  extending  the  full  length 
of  the  project  providing  access  for  project  maintenance  and  railroad  maintenance 
as  well. 

A road  grader  was  also  operated  on  the  site  for  establishment  of  final 
grades  on  berms  and  on  roadways. 

3.3.2  Pipe  Installation 

The  initial  trenching  operation  for  pipe  installation  was  for  the  1 8 inch  culvert 
between  cells  1 and  2.  This  was  attempted  with  a small  Ford  tractor  with  backhoe. 
However,  soils  in  this  area  were  cemented  from  years  of  exposure  to  AMD  and  the 


3-3 


backhoe  was  not  capable  of  doing  the  job.  A Caterpillar  C225  trackhoe  was 
brought  to  the  site  and  this  proved  to  be  a much  more  capable  machine,  although 
the  AMD  impacted  area  was  nearly  too  severely  consolidated  for  this  machine  as 
well.  The  project  nearly  required  a blasting  operation  in  order  to  complete  the 
culvert  installation.  Most  subsequent  pipe  installations  utilized  the  C225  for 
excavation.  This  included  installation  of  8 inch  main  piping,  8 inch  bypass  piping, 
manifold  installations  in  the  berms,  and  excavations  into  the  berms  for  placement 
of  4 inch  stubs  to  which  the  perforated  piping  in  the  cell  bottoms  would  eventually 
be  connected.  The  C225  remained  on  site  for  most  of  the  job  duration  and  was 
utilized  for  a wide  range  of  other  applications  described  below. 

The  selection  of  PVC  pipe  made  pipe  installation  fast  and  relatively  low  in 
equipment  demands.  Small  pipe  was  positioned  and  joined  manually;  pipe  8 inch 
and  larger  required  the  trackhoe  and  cable  lift  to  aid  in  pipe  joining.  The  trackhoe 
was  used  for  initial  excavation,  placement  of  bedding  material,  and  trench  backfill. 
Rock-free  bedding  material  was  located  on  site  and  delivered  as  required  with  one 
of  two  frontend  loaders  on  site,  a Case  W1 4 with  1 -1  /2  yard  bucket  or  a John  Deer 
JD544B  tractor  with  a 2 yard  bucket.  Initial  compaction  of  pipe  installations  was 
done  with  a small  handheld  gas  engine  tamper.  However,  the  compaction  needs 
of  the  project  were  too  extensive  and  a Bulldog  compactor  was  brought  on  the 
project  for  completion  of  pipe  installations  in  trenches. 

The  8 inch  main  was  filled  and  pressure  tested  on  July  2,  1991  prior  to 
introduction  of  AMD  to  the  wetland  and  found  to  have  no  measurable  rate  of 
leakage. 

3.3.3  Soil/Bentonite  Liner 

Bentonite  was  delivered  to  the  site  in  nominal  1 ton  bags.  Actual  weight 
based  on  bills  of  lading  averaged  2500  pounds.  A 200  mesh  grade  was  used. 
The  bags  proved  to  be  a convenient  and  clean  way  of  receiving,  storing  and  using 
the  product  for  a job  of  this  size.  The  C225  backhoe  was  used  to  unload  bags 
from  the  flatbed  delivery  trucks  and  again  to  empty  bags  into  the  hoppers  of 
vehicles  used  for  spreading. 

Locating  suitable  soil  for  a soil/bentonite  liner  was  a problem.  No  materials 
were  available  on  site.  The  engineer’s  estimate  and  all  bids  were  based  on 
incorporating  bentonite  into  the  existing  soils  and  fill  material  used  for  berm 
construction.  However,  the  excavated  site  was  completely  unsuitable.  Some 
areas  were  very  rocky.  Others  were  impacted  by  mine  drainage  and  coal  spillage. 
The  old  railroad  bed  was  exposed  in  one  area  and  at  least  one  building  foundation 
was  unearthed.  The  fill  material  identified  on  site  was  essentially  free  of  rocks  but 
tested  too  high  in  calcium  to  be  suitable  without  high  rates  of  bentonite;  it  was  also 


3-4 


certain  to  be  exhausted  before  meeting  our  needs.  A search  was  conducted  for 
offsite  soils  and  a large  area  of  suitable  material  was  identified  near  Highway  87 
about  a mile  from  the  site.  This  area  was  cleared  with  the  scraper-hauler  and 
excavated  with  a 2 yd  frontend  loader.  The  excavated  material  was  delivered  to 
the  site  with  a 12  yard  dump  truck. 

The  plan  for  liner  construction  was  to  spread  soil  material  uniformly  on  the 
inside  face  of  berms,  apply  bentonite,  and  rototill  in.  The  cell  bottom  would  be 
done  last.  However,  an  initial  test  of  the  equipment  indicated  that  the  bentonite 
spreader  could  not  be  maneuvered  reliably  even  on  3:1  grades,  especially  with  a 
full  load.  This  was  an  especially  severe  problem  in  cell  1 which  was  narrow  and 
difficult  to  work  in.  An  alternative  method  of  operation  was  developed  in  which 
material  was  mixed  in  the  cell  bottom  and  dozed  into  place  on  the  berms.  This 
method  proved  to  be  satisfactory  although  it  was  more  difficult  to  produce  a 
uniform  liner  thickness.  In-place  liner  measurements  varied  from  6 inch  thick  to  1 1 
inch  thick  against  a target  of  8 inches. 

The  soil  delivered  to  the  site  was  all  taken  from  near  the  surface. 
Consequently,  during  October,  the  moisture  content  was  very  low.  It  was 
necessary  to  bring  moisture  content  to  the  optimum  compaction  value  of  16  to  18 
percent  prior  to  bentonite  application.  This  required  the  use  of  two  water  trucks 
applying  water  from  the  top  of  the  berm  and  a rototiller  mixing  the  water  in. 
Multiple  passes  were  required  to  get  uniform  consistency  of  the  wetted  soil.  The 
water  trucks  were  1000  and  1500  gallon  capacity  and  equipped  with  two  inch 
hoses  with  nozzles.  The  rototiller  was  8 feet  wide  and  had  a maximum  tilling  depth 
of  12  inches.  The  rototiller  was  hydraulically  positioned  for  proper  depth  but  the 
tines  were  driven  by  PTO.  An  Allis  Chalmers  7045  farm  tractor  was  used  to  pull 
it.  Water  application  was  an  expensive  and  time  consuming  operation,  not  fully 
appreciated  before  the  job  began.  There  were  discussions  about  wetting  the  soil 
before  excavation  but  it  was  felt  this  would  create  problems  with  excavation  and 
difficulty  in  emptying  the  truck  efficiently. 

The  200  mesh  bentonite  was  difficult  to  work  with.  A modified  fertilizer 
spreader  which  had  been  used  previously  for  bentonite  application  was  rented  by 
Boland  Construction.  The  unit  was  equipped  with  a constant  speed  hydraulically 
driven  apron  feeder  and  an  adjustable  height  gate  on  the  discharge  end.  The 
material  fed  to  a 1 foot  diameter  slinger  disk  which  was  driven  by  PTO  from  the 
tractor  drive  train.  A rubber  shroud  8 feet  wide,  2 feet  deep,  2 feet  high  and  6 
inches  off  the  ground  was  intended  to  contain  material  in  order  to  minimize  dust 
loss. 


There  were  several  problems  with  this  unit.  First,  uniform  application  rates 
could  only  be  achieved  at  constant  speed.  Rates  were  controllable  only  through 


3-5 


adjustment  of  the  gate  height  and  then  were  only  valid  at  a specific  rate  of  speed. 
This  spreader  was  tested  with  fill  material  and  this  produced  a uniform  rate  of 
application.  On  a level  surface  this  method  would  probably  have  been  workable 
but  on  sideslopes  the  spreader  could  not  be  pulled  reliably  because  of  poor 
traction.  Using  the  bentonite  material  other  problems  surfaced  as  well.  Dusting 
was  severe  even  with  the  rubber  shroud  so  that  losses  were  significant  and  the 
dust  was  a potential  nuisance  to  residents.  Bridging  in  the  hopper  was  also  a 
problem.  It  was  not  possible  to  keep  a steady  flow  of  material  to  the  slinger 
without  two  men  with  dust  masks  and  shovels  riding  the  hopper  to  assure 
continuous  flow  from  the  apron  feeder.  This  method  was  felt  to  be  too  dangerous 
and  inefficient  to  continue. 

An  alternative  method  was  devised  which  worked  reasonably  well.  Sufficient 
soil  was  moved  into  the  bottom  of  the  cell  to  provide  liner  for  one  or  two  panels 
of  the  cell  liner.  The  necessary  soil  material  was  determined  by  area 
measurement.  Loose  yards  to  produce  an  8 inch  compacted  liner  were  estimated 
to  be  that  area  times  1 1 inches  thick.  Soil  was  hauled  into  the  cell  and  spread 
loosely  with  dozers  to  1 1 inches  depth  in  an  area  adjacent  to  the  panel  to  be  lined. 
The  scraper-hauler  was  then  used  to  spread  the  bentonite.  A calculated  number 
of  2500  pound  bags  (based  on  application  rates  for  the  soil  developed  from 
laboratory  test  data)  plus  33  percent  to  account  for  inconsistencies  of  the 
spreading  method  and  dust  losses  were  applied  to  the  surface  of  the  soils.  This 
varied  from  3 bags  on  the  end  panels  of  cell  1 to  16  bags  on  the  floor  of  cell  2. 
Occasionally,  especially  at  the  start  of  a spreading  run,  the  scraper  would  apply 
bentonite  too  heavy.  These  areas  were  respread  by  a small  dozer  or  raked  out 
by  hand.  Once  moving,  though,  the  scraper  achieved  a surprisingly  uniform  rate 
of  application.  Two  passes  were  necessary  to  spread  the  required  quantity  of 
bentonite  over  the  area  being  treated.  Although  dust  loss  was  still  a factor,  it  was 
much  less  than  with  the  spreader.  This  operation  is  recommended  only  with  a 
very  experienced  operator. 

The  rototiller  followed  the  spreader  and  tilled  the  bentonite  into  the  soil. 
Initial  passes  were  relatively  shallow  and  this  helped  to  redistribute  the  bentonite 
for  even  more  uniform  coverage.  Multiple  passes  were  required  to  mix  the 
bentonite  in  to  full  depth.  Complete  mixing  was  indicated  by  the  development  of 
a uniform  soil  color.  On  a large  area  (10000  square  feet  or  more)  this  took  up  to 
two  hours  of  tilling.  Occasionally,  additional  water  would  be  added  as  the  soil  mix 
tended  to  dry  out  under  such  extended  and  vigorous  mixing. 

When  mixing  was  complete  dozers  were  used  to  push  the  soil/bentonite  mix 
up  the  side  of  the  berm  panel(s)  to  be  lined.  In  order  to  expedite  this  operation 
three  dozers  were  often  used  on  the  larger  panels.  A Caterpillar  D-7  and  D-3  and 
a small  Fiat-Allis  dozer  were  available  for  this.  Berms  were  staked  in  order  to 


3-6 


control  depth  of  application.  This  was  only  partially  effective.  There  was  a 
tendency  to  get  especially  thick  application  at  the  bottom  of  the  berms  where  they 
met  the  floor  of  the  cell. 

The  first  attempts  to  compact  the  bentonite  were  with  a small  conventional 
roller.  It  was  very  difficult  to  operate  on  the  3:1  slopes  with  this  machine.  There 
was  a lot  of  slipping  and  a tendency  to  create  an  uneven  surface.  Part  of  this  was 
due  to  some  overwetting  of  the  surface.  It  is  important  to  keep  water  trucks  away 
from  mixed  material.  However,  even  properly  wetted  material  provides  very  poor 
traction.  A Dynapac  vibratory  roller  with  tired  drive  wheels  was  brought  on  the  job. 
This  did  an  excellent  job  of  compaction  and  produced  a smooth  finished  surface. 
Water  application  was  made  twice  daily  to  completed  liner  panels  to  prevent 
cracking  until  the  synthetic  liner  was  applied.  Care  should  be  exercised  in  water 
application  at  this  stage  since  drainage  is  very  poor.  Synthetic  liner  installation  is 
more  difficult  over  a damp  surface  producing  a higher  rate  of  burnouts  on  seams 
which  must  then  be  located  and  repaired  individually. 

Following  bentonite  liner  placement,  buried  stubs  of  the  distribution  piping 
were  excavated  by  hand  and  extended  into  the  finished  cell  bottom.  Bentonite 
material  was  set  aside  and  reused  to  fill  the  areas  around  the  extended  pipes. 

3.3.4  Geomembrane  Liner 

The  geomembrane  liner  installation  was  a relatively  rapid  process  compared 
to  the  bentonite  liner.  An  entire  cell  could  be  lined  with  HDPE  in  a single  day. 
Geofabric  liner  and  Enkamat  erosion  fabric  installation  took  another  day.  HDPE 
was  supplied  in  20  foot  wide  rolls.  A front  end  loader  was  used  to  bring  rolls  to 
the  work  area  and  to  suspend  the  roll  in  the  air  for  rapid  unspooling  of  the 
required  lengths.  Sections  were  laid  across  the  cells  in  a transverse  direction. 
Seams  were  made  with  an  electrically  heated  automatic  seaming  machine  with 
power  delivered  from  a portable  generator.  The  ends  of  the  cells  tended  to 
produce  noticeable  folds  in  the  material  as  a result  of  trying  to  fit  a flat  surface 
onto  an  angular  one.  When  these  folds  were  large  enough  to  suggest  creasing 
they  were  cut  diagonally  at  the  corner  of  the  cell  from  the  top  to  the  bottom, 
trimmed  and  seamed  manually.  All  seams  were  pressure  tested  (the  seams  are 
made  with  a double  weld  that  leaves  an  air  pocket)  to  establish  the  integrity  of  the 
weld.  Questionable  welds  were  tested  with  a spark  tester  to  locate  leaks  which 
were  then  repaired  manually. 

Boots  were  fabricated  on  site  for  sealing  pipe  penetrations.  The  HDPE  was 
cut  around  each  pipe,  a boot  was  slipped  over  the  pipe  and  welded  to  the  liner. 
Silicone  cement  was  applied  liberally  to  the  inside  of  the  boot  prior  to  fitting  to 
make  a seal  to  the  pipe.  Stainless  steel  hose  clamps  completed  the  boot 


3-7 


installation. 


Geofabric  installation  was  similar  to  the  HDPE  operation  except  that  joints 
were  sewn.  Cell  1 was  installed  with  seams  up.  This  was  satisfactory  but  a 
cleaner  looking  seam  was  made  on  cells  2 and  3 by  seaming  on  the  bottom  side 
and  then  folding  that  panel  down.  Uneven  coverage  on  the  ends  of  cells  was  not 
considered  to  be  a problem;  excess  material  was  simply  folded  over. 

Enkamat  erosion  fabric  was  used  to  provide  a rough  surface  for  applied 
topsoil  to  prevent  it  from  sloughing  from  sideslopes.  Installation  was  facilitated  by 
surveying  the  final  substrate  grade  and  marking  this  line  on  the  geofabric. 
Enkamat  was  cut  to  extend  past  this  mark  into  the  cell  by  3 feet  which  provided 
1 foot  of  embedded  depth.  Three  inches  of  overlap  was  required;  sections  were 
joined  with  plastic  ties.  All  three  materials  were  anchored  in  a "V"  trench  at  the  top 
of  the  berm.  Tires  and  sandbags  were  used  to  hold  liners  in  place  until  the  trench 
could  be  backfilled.  The  Enkamat  was  particularly  subject  to  damage  from  wind. 
Sandbags  were  applied  and  remained  in  place  until  substrate  material  placement 
was  completed  in  order  to  keep  this  material  in  place. 


3.3.5  Substrate  Placement 

The  selection  of  substrate  materials  was  altered  during  the  coarse  of 
construction  to  include  a 12  inch  lift  of  aged  cow  manure  immediately  above  the 
gravel  replacing  part  of  the  18  inches  of  Eko-Compost  originally  planned  in  this  lift. 
This  decision  was  prompted  by  late  results  from  column  testing  showing  better 
performance  in  columns  with  readily  available  organic  matter.  Construction  was 
somewhat  more  difficult  in  that  it  required  proper  sequencing  of  loads  of  manure 
and  compost. 

Elevations  of  various  lifts  of  material  were  surveyed  in  and  painted  on  the 
geofabric  prior  to  material  placement.  Initial  access  to  the  cell  bottom  was 
provided  by  placing  a small  area  of  1 to  3 inch  gravel  subbase  by  hand  in  a 
corner  of  each  cell  to  a depth  of  8 inches.  A temporary  ramp  of  Eko-Compost  1- 
1/2  feet  thick  was  built  down  to  the  bottom  onto  this  starter  area.  Sheets  of  3/4 
inch  plywood  were  laid  over  the  gravel  in  the  starter  area  to  evenly  distribute  the 
weight  of  equipment  which  would  bring  additional  material  into  the  cell.  Two 
loaders  were  used  to  bring  materials  into  the  cells.  Plywood  was  extended  the 
entire  length  of  the  cell  and  moved  laterally  as  required  to  provide  access  to  new 
work  areas.  Loads  were  emptied  and  backdragged  for  rough  spreading.  Two 
laborers  provided  finished  grade  control  with  shovels  and  rakes.  When  1 to  3 inch 
gravel  placement  was  complete,  3/4  inch  gravel  was  brought  in  and  placed  in  a 
similar  manner  removing  the  plywood  as  material  was  placed. 


3-8 


When  all  gravel  was  in  place,  the  plywood  was  relaid  to  the  far  end  of  the 
cell  and  coconut  fiber  mat  was  installed  over  the  gravel.  The  C225  trackhoe  was 
brought  into  the  cell  to  assist  with  material  spreading.  This  had  the  effect  of 
reducing  loader  cycle  times  and  the  amount  of  manual  labor  for  finishing.  The 
coconut  mat  would  be  extended  over  the  gravel  to  provide  new  work  areas  as 
required.  Manure  and  Eko-Compost  were  brought  into  the  cell  alternately  as 
needed  for  the  first  lift  of  organic  substrate.  Loaders  would  bring  sufficient  manure 
to  provide  an  initial  12  inch  lift.  The  trackhoe  spread  this  material  by  swinging  its 
bucket  back  and  forth  across  the  cell.  Loaders  dumped  loads  of  Eko-Compost 
onto  leveled  areas  of  manure  and  this  was  spread  by  the  trackhoe  in  a similar 
manner  to  the  required  depth  with  the  assistance  of  manual  labor  for  final  leveling. 
This  operation  retreated  to  new  work  areas  until  the  first  substrate  interval  was  in 
place  over  the  entire  cell  floor.  A second  layer  of  coconut  fiber  mat  was  placed 
over  the  first  substrate  interval  to  prevent  intermingling  with  a 6 inch  sand  layer 
above  it  which  is  intended  to  help  redistribute  water  flow.  The  sand  layer  was 
applied  with  loaders  and  spread  with  the  D-4.  The  second  and  final  lift  of 
substrate  consisting  of  18  inches  of  Eko-Compost  was  placed  over  the  sand.  This 
lift  used  the  same  methods  of  operation  for  material  placement  and  spreading 
described  above. 

One  particular  problem  was  identified  pertaining  to  the  sand  placement.  As 
sand  was  placed,  the  weight  of  vehicles  running  on  the  plywood  bringing  material 
into  the  cell  and  the  weight  of  the  sand  itself  tended  to  compact  the  loose 
substrate  below.  The  result  was  an  overfilling  of  cell  1 and  2 with  sand.  Instead 
of  getting  a 6 inch  thickness  a 10  inch  layer  resulted.  This  was  compensated  for 
in  cell  3 by  overfilling  the  first  substrate  interval  with  four  additional  inches  of 
manure  ( 16  inches  total)  plus  the  12  inches  of  Eko-Compost  then  compacting  by 
running  the  D-7  over  it  before  placing  sand. 

Large  quantities  of  material  were  delivered  to  and  stockpiled  on  the  site. 
It  was  a constant  concern  to  keep  material  of  the  proper  kind  coming  so  work 
could  continue.  Manure  was  supplied  with  a 1 2 yard  dump  truck  and  1 0 yard  pup 
trailer  with  2 foot  high  wooden  extensions  for  additional  haul  capacity.  Sand  and 
gravel  were  delivered  in  single  loads  in  twelve  yard  dump  trucks.  Eko-Compost 
was  delivered  in  25  to  35  yard  loads  by  either  a long  bed  end  dump  trailer  and 
truck  or  by  a walking  floor  trailer  and  truck.  The  walking  floor  trailer  carried  larger 
loads  and  was  easier  to  unload.  One  end  dump  trailer  was  destroyed  when  it 
tipped  over  on  site  bending  the  frame  and  aluminum  box  and  damaging  the 
hydraulic  dump  mechanism.  Apparently,  the  back  portion  of  the  load  emptied  but 
the  front  portion  did  not,  leaving  the  trailer  top  heavy  and  off  balance. 

3.3.6  Parshall  Flumes 


3-9 


Parshall  flume  construction  was  done  late  in  the  construction  sequence  after 
installation  of  the  liners.  The  HDPE  liner  was  notched  in  a rectangular  shape 
where  the  flume  was  to  be  located  and  folded  back.  A trench  was  excavated 
either  by  hand  or  with  the  assistance  of  the  trackhoe  if  access  permitted. 
Trackhoe  trenching  was  possible  on  all  flumes  except  the  connecting  flume 
between  cell  1 and  2.  Trenching  exposed  stubbed  off  piping  which  was  buried  in 
the  berms  to  provide  the  required  pipe  connections  to  the  flumes.  Bedding 
material  was  placed  in  the  floor  of  the  trench  and  hand  labor  was  used  to  trim  the 
trench  floor  to  the  elevations  required  by  plans. 

Epoxy  coated  rebar  was  assembled  and  wooden  forms  were  built  around 
the  rebar  and  the  pipe  stubs.  The  Parshall  flumes  and  weir  gates  were  positioned 
in  the  floor  and  walls  to  be  cast  in  place.  Because  it  was  necessary  to  bring  in 
imported  material  for  bentonite  liner  construction  after  the  berms  were  constructed, 
the  open  ends  of  the  flumes  had  to  be  extended  2 to  3 feet  longer  than  shown  in 
plans  in  order  to  penetrate  the  completed  cell.  Consequently,  the  flumes  were 
built  to  fit  and  dimensions  vary  somewhat  from  plans. 

Concrete  pouring  and  finishing  was  straightforward  using  sulfate  resistant 
concrete  as  called  for  in  specifications.  Forms  were  removed  after  two  or  three 
days  and  inside  surfaces  were  touched  up  for  a smooth  finish  surface.  Exposed 
pipe  stubs  were  cut  off  and  ground  flush  with  the  inside  concrete  wall.  Inside 
concrete  surfaces  were  painted  with  epoxy  paint  for  improved  acid  resistance. 
Stop  plates  were  installed  over  pipe  openings  by  bolting  to  the  walls  with 
expansion  bolts  and  sealed  with  silicone.  Stainless  steel  screens  with  1/2  inch 
openings  were  fitted  over  pipe  openings  to  prevent  debris  from  washing  into  the 
piping  system.  The  excavation  was  then  backfilled  and  the  bentonite  liner  was 
replaced  and  compacted  with  a hand  tamper.  The  HDPE  liner  was  trimmed  and 
refitted  to  the  outside  flume  walls.  Cuts  at  the  corners  were  heat  welded  back 
together.  The  fitted  liner  was  then  sealed  to  the  flume  using  neoprene  rubber 
cement  and  held  tightly  to  the  wall  with  stainless  steel  battens  bolted  to  stainless 
steel  anchor  bolts  in  the  concrete. 

3.3.7  Topsoil 

Imported  and  salvaged  topsoil  was  applied  to  all  disturbed  areas  and  to  the 
inside  of  the  cell  berms  to  cover  the  synthetic  liner  according  to  specifications. 
Subsoils  were  scarified  using  a scarifier  attached  to  the  road  grader  prior  to  topsoil 
placement  and  soils  were  disked  prior  to  seeding  in  areas  where  this  was 
possible.  Front  end  loaders  delivered  soil  to  a work  area  and  dozers  spread  it  to 
the  required  depth.  Material  placed  on  the  inside  of  the  cells  had  to  be  spread  by 
hand  to  prevent  damage  to  the  liner  by  equipment.

3.3.8  Seeding 

Seeding  was  done  using  a hydroseeder  in  two  applications.  The  initial 
application  consisted  of  the  seed  and  a light  mulch.  The  second  application  was 
with  fertilizer  and  a heavy  mulch.  Seeding  of  the  disturbed  areas  around  the 
collection  boxes  was  done  by  hand.  No  mulch  was  applied  in  these  areas. 

3.3.9  Cattail  Planting  and  Wetland  Flooding 

Cattails  were  hand  planted  in  a random  pattern  for  uniform  distribution.  The 
substrate  surface  was  raked  into  ridges  to  provide  areas  of  high  and  low  water 
which  was  intended  to  minimize  short  circuiting  of  water  flow  as  well  as  providing 
a variety  of  water  depths  for  the  cattails.  The  cells  were  flooded  from  the  bottom 
up  using  water  pumped  from  the  diversion  channel  and  delivered  to  the 
appropriate  cell  by  a hose.  This  procedure  resulted  in  a considerable  amount  of 
floating  bark  chips  from  the  Eko-Compost  and  the  uprooting  of  some  of  the 
cattails  especially  in  areas  of  deeper  water. 

3.3.10  Rip-rap 

Rip-rap  was  placed  in  two  locations  at  the  site:  in  the  stream  diversion  from 
Anaconda  Road  to  the  end  of  cell  3 and  in  the  storm  drainage  leading  to  the  18 
inch  culvert  buried  in  the  berm  between  cell  1 and  2.  Rip-rap  was  difficult  to  find 
in  this  area.  However,  a source  was  located  on  a Hutterite  farm  south  of  the 
project  site.  Rocks  had  been  removed  from  the  fields  on  this  farm  and  were 
stockpiled.  Rip-rap  size  and  angularity  was  acceptable.  Rip-rap  was  placed  with 
the  trackhoe.  Material  placed  in  the  bottom  of  the  stream  channel  was  embedded 
using  pressure  on  the  trackhoe  bucket. 

3.4  Planning  and  Design 

A number  of  planning  and  design  considerations  were  alluded  to  in  the 
discussions  of  paragraph  3.3.  Future  projects  should  provide  for  the  following  to  facilitate 
smooth  project  execution: 

• Identification  and  testing  of  soils  for  bentonite/soil  liners  before  bid  solicitations. 
The  project  was  slowed  by  the  sampling,  testing  and  price  negotiating  for  alternate 
soil  sources. 

• Consider  the  physical  capabilities  of  construction  equipment  during  design.  Cell 
1 , which  was  small  and  narrow,  was  very  difficult  to  work  in.  Unfortunately,  it  was 
always  the  first  to  be  worked  on  as  well  which  made  it  that  much  more  difficult. 


3-11 


Construction  of  the  larger  cells  seemed  to  go  so  much  smoother. 

• More  detailed  design  work  needed  to  go  into  the  flumes,  which  are  actually  fairly 
complex  structures  to  build.  For  example,  because  of  the  short  design  phase  of 
the  project  vendor  drawings  of  stop  plates  were  not  available.  The  use  of  screens 
for  debris  removal  was  an  afterthought  in  the  field  which  proved  its  worth  when  the 
cells  were  flooded. 

• It  may  make  more  sense  to  construct  the  flumes  prior  to  installation  of  lining 
materials.  This  was  not  possible  in  our  case  because  we  needed  the  plastic 
flumes,  stop  plates  and  weir  guide  inserts  before  concrete  could  be  poured  and 
these  required  fairly  long  delivery  times  and  vendor  drawing  certification  prior  to 
fabrication.  We  simply  could  not  delay  major  elements  of  the  project  waiting  for 
these  items. 

• The  project  schedule  was  too  optimistic.  Because  of  the  nature  of  the  cell 
construction,  sequencing  of  events  was  critical.  Neither  bidder  took  exception  to 
the  60  day  project  completion  period.  However,  Boland  Construction  did  express 
concern  over  the  tightness  of  the  schedule  from  the  first  day  of  the  project  even 
though  intending  to  complete  it  within  the  permitted  time  frame  if  possible.  The  60 
day  completion  period  was  set  somewhat  arbitrarily  without  development  of  a 
formal  schedule  or  a critical  path  analysis.  A short  design  period,  which  was 
barely  adequate  for  completion  of  design  drawings,  probably  contributed  to  this 
problem.  Activities  which  normally  depend  on  a complete  set  of  drawings  (bid 
document  preparation,  schedule  development  and  cost  estimate)  suffered  as  a 
result. 

• Pipe  sizing  for  the  12  inch  manifold  appears  to  be  too  large.  However,  in  light  of 
the  problems  of  screen  fouling  at  the  openings  of  these  manifolds  this  oversizing 
may  still  be  justified.  The  8 inch  main  also  appears  to  be  oversized.  Again, 
however,  it  may  be  best  to  wait  until  a maintenance  history  is  established  to 
determine  whether  a smaller  pipe  size  is  justified. 

• Methods  of  filling  cells  with  substrate  could  be  more  efficient,  particularly  on  larger 
projects.  Conveyor  systems  were  considered  by  Boland  but  rejected.  Future 
projects  should  reconsider  methods  for  substrate  placement.

4.0  COST  SUMMARY 


4.1  Summary  of  Pay  Items 

The  final  payment  form,  Payment  Request  No.  5,  is  included  in  Attachment  3.  This 
form  lists  the  original  43  pay  items  which  were  the  basis  for  the  bid  submittals.  Pay  items 
44  through  57  were  added  during  the  execution  of  the  project  as  the  result  of  change 
orders,  work  directives  and  additions  to  the  scope  of  work. 

Quantities  used  varied  somewhat  from  original  estimates.  Earthwork  and  cell  fill 
materials  were  most  often  subject  to  this.  The  need  to  go  offsite  for  soil  materials  suitable 
for  bentonite  liner  construction  has  already  been  mentioned.  There  was  also  a design 
error  in  cell  2 which  when  corrected  resulted  in  excavation  which  was  1.5  feet  less 
material  than  shown  on  the  plans.  This  had  the  effect  of  increasing  the  quantity  of  backfill 
required  from  other  sources.  It  also  resulted  in  a cell  floor  which  was  wider  than  shown 
on  the  plans.  Consequently,  the  quantities  of  fill  materials  were  all  higher  than  planned. 
Sand  use  was  also  higher  than  anticipated  because  of  the  compaction  problem  noted 
above.  Three-quarter  by  one-half  inch  gravel  usage  was  substantially  higher  than 
anticipated.  We  suspect  that  there  was  a tendency  for  some  of  this  material  to  fill  voids 
in  the  top  of  the  3 inch  gravel  on  which  it  was  placed. 

One  area  in  which  quantities  were  lower  than  anticipated  was  in  the  cell  liner 
installation.  Original  plans  were  to  have  this  installation  running  up  the  hill  on  the 
southwest  sides  of  cells  1 and  2.  As  built,  the  liner  was  terminated  at  an  elevation  from 
2 to  3.5  feet  higher  than  the  top  of  the  substrate.  This  was  done  to  accommodate  a 
temporary  access  road  on  that  side  of  the  project  which  was  necessary  for  both 
earthwork  and  for  cell  filling. 

Some  items  of  work  were  eliminated  or  substantially  reduced.  Summer  erosion 
control  was  never  required.  The  lined  ditch  was  never  built.  Instead,  a buried  8 inch  pipe 
was  installed  in  the  coal  waste  storage  area  to  bring  water  from  cell  2 to  cell  3.  This 
eliminated  the  costs  for  the  ditch  but  increased  the  quantity  of  8 inch  pipe  required. 
Much  of  the  unlined  ditch  construction  on  the  southwest  of  cells  1 and  2 was  eliminated 
as  well.  It  was  felt  that  the  areas  being  drained  were  not  sufficiently  large  and  were 
adequately  vegetated  such  that  runoff  would  not  be  a problem. 

Change  orders  were  generally  under  control  on  the  project  totalling  $ 40,165.67. 
The  single  biggest  change  order,  Pay  Item  No.  45  for  $ 19,600.00,  was  for  the  supply  of 
offsite  soils  for  bentonite  liner.  This  accounted  for  about  one-half  of  the  total  change 
orders.  Some  change  orders  were  at  the  direction  of  AMRB.  These  included  Pay  Items 
47,  48,  and  56.  Most  of  the  other  change  orders  are  related  to  details  of  flume 
construction  and  piping.  We  felt  that  drawings  and  plans  for  these  items  were  not 
sufficiently  clear  to  define  exactly  what  was  required  of  the  contractor.

4.2  Job  Unit  Costs  and  Cost  Comparisons 

Unit  costs  for  this  project  can  be  found  in  the  final  pay  request  in  Attachment  1. 
However,  as  noted  earlier  some  items  varied  substantially  between  the  two  bids  submitted 
so  it  would  be  advisable  to  take  this  into  account  if  these  unit  costs  are  to  be  used  for 
estimating  future  jobs. 

Useful  measures  of  comparative  costs  for  this  project  are  not  easily  defined.  One 
must  bear  in  mind  that  the  site  was  constructed  as  an  experimental  testbed  and  this 
resulted  in  a more  complex  design  than  might  otherwise  be  the  case.  The  following 
capital  cost  ratios,  based  on  15  gpm  design  flow  rate,  700  ppm  iron  content,  1.52  acres 
of  treatment  area  and  an  estimated  20  year  useful  life,  may  provide  a guide  for  future 
projects  of  this  type: 


Cost  per  gpm  of  mine  drainage  treated: 

$ 

45,000.00 

Cost  per  K gallon  of  mine  drainage,  20  year  life:

Cost  per  acre  of  wetland  treatment  area: 

$

Initially  defined  pay  items  (1  through  43)  were  brought  in  at  $ 637,221.81  or  7.6 
percent  over  original  plan.  Change  orders  on  the  project  were  $ 40,1 65.67  or  6.8  percent 
above  original  plan. 

A summary  of  the  design  costs  and  construction  supervision  costs  is  found  in 
Attachment  4.

5.0  PROJECT  SUMMARY 


5.1  Site  Conditions  at  Project  Completion 

In  mid-July,  1991,  water  from  the  two  intercepted  sources  was  being  successfully 
treated  at  an  influent  rate  of  approximately  1 4 gpm  producing  effluent  at  pH  7.  Discharge 
from  cells  1 and  2 was  running  decidedly  acid  (pH  3),  however.  Initial  analytical  results 
indicated  that  the  first  two  cells  were  functioning  primarily  for  metal  removal  and  doing 
an  effective  job  at  this. 

Cattails  were  established  in  all  of  the  cells  but  were  flourishing  best  in  cell  3. 
Aquatic  organisms  were  observed  in  all  of  the  cells  but  only  in  cell  3 was  a diverse  culture 
apparent.  During  the  summer  hundreds  of  dragon  flies  and  damsel  flies  inhabited  the 
area;  several  different  species  were  noted.  Killdeer  were  seen  around  cell  3 though  it  was 
not  established  whether  they  had  successfully  nested  there.  One  duck  was  observed  on 
cell  3.  Birds  seemed  to  avoid  the  more  acidic  areas  of  cells  1 and  2. 

The  seeding  produced  an  abundance  of  wild  mustard.  Apparently  this  was 
brought  in  with  the  topsoil.  The  mustard  was  cut  down  before  going  to  seed.  There  was 
some  debate  whether  this  was  appropriate  action.  Some  felt  that  the  mustard  would  be 
a beneficial  nurse  crop  for  germinating  grasses  and  would  best  be  left  in  place. 
Ultimately  the  grasses  should  dominate  again. 

There  was  some  problem  with  plugging  of  screens  with  floating  debris.  This  may 
be  only  an  initial  problem  which  will  subside  with  time  or  it  may  require  either  a permanent 
remedy  or  a maintenance  program  to  keep  screens  clean. 

In  general,  the  overall  appearance  of  the  area  was  much  improved.  As-built 
drawings  of  the  project  are  provided  in  Attachment  5. 

5.2  Comments  and  Suggestions 

Most  of  the  problems  on  the  job  were  related  to  inadequate  or  insufficient 
information  in  design  documents.  In  particular,  definition  of  soil  sources,  flume  details 
and  piping  details  were  not  entirely  adequate.  As  noted  earlier,  this  was  due  to  a very 
short  design  schedule.  Nonetheless,  these  problems  were  not  beyond  resolution  in  the 
field  and  did  not  result  in  major  cost  impacts  on  the  project.  Additional  design  work 
would  probably  not  have  resulted  in  substantially  lower  project  costs  but  could  have 
produced  a somewhat  shorter  construction  schedule,  a more  accurate  project  cost 
estimate  and  fewer  change  orders. 


5-1 


One  design  improvement  has  been  identified  now  that  the  ceils  have  been  flooded 
and  are  operational.  All  flumes  are  sloped  to  provide  for  drainage  away  from  the  Parshall 
flume  inserts.  However,  because  there  is  a two  inch  lip  on  the  stopplate  frames,  and 
because  of  the  tendency  for  screens  to  plug,  the  slope  provided  is  not  sufficient  to 
prevent  flooding  of  the  flume  inserts.  Thus,  meaningful  flow  data  are  difficult  to  obtain. 
These  measurements  can  be  made  at  the  inlet  of  all  three  cells  by  lifting  the  downstream 
weirs  and  allowing  the  flume  to  discharge  to  the  surface  of  the  cell  until  a reading  is 
made.  On  the  discharge  flumes  from  cells  2 and  3 this  technique  cannot  be  used.  These 
flumes  cannot  be  used  for  measurement  as  installed.  Future  designs  should  provide  for 
additional  slope  or  a depressed  drainage  box  to  provide  better  drainage  in  the  area  of 
the  Parshall  insert. 

5.3  Maintenance  Follow-up 

A program  of  regular  sampling  is  being  conducted  to  gather  data  on  the  wetland 
performance.  This  should  ultimately  include  sampling  of  substrate  material  to  determine 
mechanisms  of  metal  removal.  This  sampling  program  together  with  operating  and 
maintenance  requirements  was  described  in  an  Operating  and  Maintenance  Plan 
submitted  to  AMRB  on  September  16,  1991. 

It  is  too  early  to  assess  the  need  for  action  to  deal  with  the  observed  problem  of 
screen  plugging.  This  problem  may  subside  with  continued  use.  Possible  remedies, 
should  the  problem  persist,  include  the  following: 

• Removal  of  screens  when  floating  debris  subsides, 

• Operation  of  the  cells  in  downflow  mode  which  will  cause  the  substrate  to  act  as 
a filter  media, 

• Modification  of  flume  inlets  to  provide  for  effective  screening  there  rather  than  at 
the  inlets  to  pipe  openings, 

• Installation  of  flume  covers  to  prevent  wind  blown  debris  from  collecting  in  the 
flumes.  This  may  also  be  beneficial  if  winter  operations  indicate  a problem  with  ice 
formation,  and 

• Initiation  of  a permanent  maintenance  program  to  inspect  and  clean  flume 
structures  on  a regular  basis.

The  completion  date  as  set  forth  in  the  Contract  Documents  shall  be  (unchanged,  increased,  decreased) 

by  10  calendar  days. 

The  date  for  completion  of  all  work  will  be  November  5,  1990  . 

Description  and  Justification  for  Change: 

1.  Materials  suitable  for  bentonite  liner  construction  were  not  available  within  the  immediate 
area.  Excavation  materials  had  either  too  much  rock,  too  much  coal  waste,  or  too  much 
calcium.  This  necessitated  a time  consuming  search  for  alternate  materials  off-site  and 
testing  of  same.  Purchase  price  of  suitable  material  is  substantially  higher  than  on  site 
material.  Piping  work  was  completed  in  Cell  1 on  Saturday,  September  22,  1990.  Allowing 
another  day  (Monday,  September  24,  1990)  to  trim  Cell  to  final  contours  makes  the  first 
available  date  for  lining  September  25, 1990,  a ten  (10)  calendar  day  delay  based  on  the  date 
of  this  Change  Order.

The  date  for  completion  of  all  work  will  be  June  1,  1991 . 

Description  and  Justification  for  Change: 

1.  All  work  was  approximately  95%  complete  on  December  18,  1990  and  had  been  performed 
in  a timely  manner.  On  this  date,  a severe  winter  storm  hit.  Subsequent  poor  winter  weather 
lead  to  the  discontinuance  of  work.  It  had  been  decided  that  the  planting  of  cattails,  seeding/ 
fertilizing/mulching,  flooding  of  the  wetland  and  completion  of  ail  remaining  incidental  tasks 
should  commence  at  the  earliest  possible  date  in  the  Spring  of  1991,  and  be  completed  in 
a timely  manner.  Work  commenced  again  on  4/22/91.  The  date  of  completion  for  all  work, 
with  the  exception  of  the  planting  of  shrubs  anticipated  in  Fall,  1 991 , shall  be  June  1 , 1 991 .

LIST  OF  PHOTOS 


A1  Allis  Chalmers  7045  tractor  pulling  the  rototiller. 

A2  Wagner  scraper-hauler  used  for  earthwork,  bentonite  application  and  road 
construction. 

A3  Dynapac  vibratory  compactor  finishing  compaction  of  a cell  floor. 

A4  The  Dynapac  works  on  the  end  of  cell  1 while  a backhoe  excavates  buried 
manifold  prior  to  tying  in  8 inch  main. 

A5  A Case  W14  loader  used  for  cell  substrate  placement  here  shown  delivering 
topsoil. 

A6  A JD544-B  bringing  gravel  into  a cell. 

A7  An  end  dump  longbed  trailer  used  to  haul  Eko-Compost  from  Missoula.  This 
trailer  tipped  over  while  emptying  and  was  destroyed. 

A8  A walking  floor  trailer  carried  larger  loads  and  was  much  safer  to  operate  for  Eko- 
Compost  delivery. 

B1  200  mesh  bentonite  was  delivered  in  nominal  one  ton  bags  and  stored  on  site. 

B2  Bags  were  emptied  into  the  hopper  of  the  scraper  hauler  using  the  C225  trackhoe. 

B3  The  scraper  hauler  applying  bentonite  to  a mix  area.  A spreader  proved  to  be 
unworkable  because  of  a tendency  to  bridge  in  the  hopper  and  severe  dusting 
during  application. 

B4  It  was  possible  to  get  fairly  uniform  bentonite  application  using  a scraper  hauler 
for  application.  Total  application  thickness  was  approximately  3/4  inch.  An 
experienced  operator  was  essential  to  obtain  uniform  application. 

B5  Areas  getting  too  heavy  application  were  respread  with  a small  dozer  or  raked  out 
by  hand. 

B6  Rototilling  bentonite  into  the  soil. 

B7  Water  application  to  get  moisture  content  up  to  optimum  before  bentonite 
application. 

B8  Dozing  bentonite-soil  mixture  into  place  on  a sideslope. 

Cl  Sampling  coarse  gravel. 


C2  Moisture  testing  of  soil  prior  to  bentonite  application. 

C3  Soil-bentonite  layer  is  clearly  visible  over  an  excavated  distribution  pipe  stub. 

C4  Measuring  liner  installation. 

C5  Excavating  buried  distribution  piping  after  soil  bentonite  liner  placement. 

C6  Exposed  distribution  piping  from  a manifold  ready  for  extension  into  the  cell 

bottom. 

C7  Perforated  piping  installed  in  the  bottom  of  cell  2. 

C8  A close-up  of  perforated  (and  unperforated)  4 inch  PVC  pipe  used  for  distribution 
piping. 

D1  Backfilling  a "V"  trench  following  liner  installation. 

D2  Unspooling  a sheet  of  HDPE  liner  for  installation  over  the  soil-bentonite  liner. 

D3  Making  a seam  between  two  sheets  of  HDPE  liner  with  an  automatic  seaming 

machine. 

D4  Close-up  of  a manually  welded  joint  in  HDPE. 

D5  Distribution  pipe  extensions  were  sealed  with  an  HDPE  boot,  silicone  cement  and 
a stainless  steel  hose  clamp. 

D6  Protective  geofabric  installed  over  the  HDPE  liner. 

D7  Fabricating  an  HDPE  boot. 

D8  A finished  boot  seal. 

El  "V"  trench  for  anchoring  liner  materials. 

E2  Sandbags  were  used  to  hold  materials  in  place. 

E3  Cell  1 ready  for  distribution  pipe  installation.  Note  that  wind  has  damaged 
Enkamat  erosion  fabric  because  of  a lack  of  sandbagging. 

E4  Fitting  boots  over  pipe. 

E5  Manual  welding  for  completion  of  a boot  installation. 

E6  Fabricating  an  HDPE  boot. 


E7  Seaming  two  sections  of  geofabric. 

E8  Compacting  the  backfill  in  a liner  trench. 

FI  Starting  the  substrate  filling  process  in  a corner  of  a cell  with  a temporary  ramp 
and  coarse  gravel. 

F2  Extending  the  temporary  ramp  into  the  cell  bottom. 

F3  Requirements  for  materials  storage  areas  were  considerable  during  the  cell  filling 
process. 

F4  Bringing  the  first  lift  of  gravel  into  the  cell. 

F5  Fine  gravel  installation  completed  in  cell  2. 

F6  Cell  1 was  constructed  somewhat  differently  than  the  other  cells  in  that  several  lifts 
of  material  were  under  construction  at  the  same  time.  Here  one  can  see  coarse 
gravel,  fine  gravel,  coconut  fiber  mat,  manure  and  Eko-Compost. 

F7  A loader  emptying  a load  of  substrate  materials. 

F8  C225  trackhoe  spreading  substrate. 

G1  The  liner  was  cut  and  folded  back  to  provide  access  for  flume  construction. 

G2  Establishing  grades  for  flume  construction. 

G3  Formwork  for  flume  construction.

H6  The  storage  area  and  cell  3 nearing  completion. 

H7  Scarifying  an  area  that  had  been  heavily  compacted  during  construction. 

H8  The  liner  was  attached  to  the  flume  with  stainless  steel  battens  and  sealed  with 

neoprene  rubber  sealant. 

11  A view  of  cell  3 during  liner  installation  with  rip-rapped  channel  to  the  right.

Dear  Ed: 


I have  attached  copies  of  the  soil  tests  we  performed  on  the  seven 
samples  from  the  French  Coulee  Project.  The  samples  are  numbered  in  order 
of  reception.  The  respective  sample  locations,  as  I understand,  are  as  follows:

Cell  2 - In  Situ

Apparently  sample  5 was  ultimately  used  for  the  soil-bentonite  mem- 
brane. The  other  samples  were  either  too  clayey  or  contained  unacceptable 
amounts  of  carbonate  and/or  sulfate. 


The  data  sheets  are  self-explanatory  except  for  the  first  sheet  on 
samples  1,  2,  and  3.  These  first  sheets  are  comparisons  of  the  respective 
French  Coulee  samples  with  similar  samples  previously  tested  by  Wyo-Ben.

WORK  DIRECTIVE  CHANGE 


INSTRUCTIONS 


A.  GENERAL  INFORMATION 

This  document  was  developed  for  use  in  situations  involving  changes  in  the  Work  which,  if  not  processed 
expeditiously,  might  delay  the  Project.  These  changes  are  often  initiated  in  the  field  and  may  affect  the 
Contract  Price  or  the  Contract  Time.  This  is  not  a Change  Order,  but  only  a directive  to  proceed  with 
Work  that  may  be  included  in  a subsequent  Change  Order. 

For  supplemental  instructions  and  minor  changes  not  involving  a change  in  the  Contract  Price  or  the 
Contract  Time,  a Field  Order  may  be  issued. 

B.  COMPLETING  THE  WORK  DIRECTIVE  CHANGE 

Engineer  initiates  the  form,  including  a description  of  the  items  involved  and  attachments. 

Based  on  conversations  between  Engineer  and  Contractor,  Engineer  completes  the  following: 

METHOD  OF  DETERMINING  CHANGE,  IF  ANY,  IN  CONTRACT  PRICE:  Mark  the  method  to  be  used 
in  determining  the  final  cost  of  Work  involved  and  the  net  effect  on  the  Contract  Price.  If  the  change 
involves  an  increase  in  the  Contract  Price  and  the  estimated  amount  is  approached  before  the 
additional  or  changed  work  is  completed,  another  Work  Directive  Change  must  be  issued  to  change 
the  amount  of  Contractor  may  stop  the  changed  Work  when  the  estimated  time  is  reached.  If  the 
Work  Directive  Change  is  not  likely  to  change  the  Contract  Price,  the  space  for  estimated  increase 
(decreased)  should  be  marked  “Not  Applicable". 

METHOD  OF  DETERMINING  CHANGE,  IF  ANY,  IN  CONTRACT  TIME:  Mark  the  method  to  be  used 
in  determining  the  change  in  Contract  Time  and  the  estimated  increase  or  decrease  in  Contract  Time. 
If  the  change  involves  and  increase  in  the  Contract  Time  and  the  estimated  time  is  approached  before 
additional  or  changed  Work  is  completed,  another  Work  Directive  Change  must  be  issued  to  change 
the  time  or  Contractor  may  stop  the  changed  Work  when  the  estimated  time  is  reached.  If  the  Work 
Directive  Change  is  not  likely  to  change  the  Contract  Time,  the  space  for  estimated  increase 
(decrease)  should  be  marked  “Not  Applicable”. 

Once  Engineer  has  completed  and  signed  the  form,  all  copies  should  be  sent  to  Owner  for  authorization 
because  Engineer  alone  does  not  have  authority  to  authorize  changes  in  price  or  time.  Once  authorized 
by  Owner,  a copy  should  be  sent  by  Engineer  to  Contractor. 

Once  the  Work  covered  by  this  directive  is  completed  for  final  cost  and  time  determined,  Contractor 
should  submit  documentation  for  inclusion  in  a Change  Order. 

THIS  IS  A DIRECTIVE  TO  PROCEED  WITH  A CHANGE  THAT  MAY  AFFECT  THE  CONTRACT  PRICE  OR 
THE  CONTRACT  TIME.  A CHANGE  ORDER,  IF  ANY,  SHOULD  BE  CONSIDERED  PROMPTLY.
