describe the excavation, backfill, and borrow material planned for any dams, dikes, and embankment slopes. Planned construction procedures and control of earthworks should be described, including the potential long-term behavior of the fill material. To be acceptable, the information must be given as discussed in Subsection 2.5.4.5. Some of this information could be presented in Subsection 2.5.4.5. If dams, dikes, and other earthworks adjacent to the site, but its failure will affect the safety of the plant, it is necessary to complete this information in this subsection. Quality control techniques and requirements during and following construction must also be discussed and referenced to quality assurance sections of the applicant’s technical submittal. The preliminary specifications and quality control techniques to be used during construction are reviewed by the staff to ascertain that all design conditions are likely to be met. During this part of the review the following are among those subjects reviewed for adequacy: 2.5.5-9 Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 1. Proposed construction dewatering plan to ensure that it will not result in damage either to the natural or engineered foundation materials or to temporary or permanent structural foundations. 2. The excavation plan to remove all unsuitable materials from beneath the foundations and the quality control procedures which establish suitable materials. 3. The techniques and equipment to be used in compacting foundation and embankment materials. 4. The quality control and testing program to provide a high level of assurance that: A. The selected borrow material is as good and as relatively homogeneous as anticipated from the investigation program. B. The compacted foundation soil meets design specifications. 5 The techniques for improving the stability of natural slopes such as drainage, grouting, rock bolting, and applying shotcrete and/or gunite. 6. The plans for monitoring during and after construction to
