Scope Of Work
SEECO completed the McCook Reservoir Overburden Marketability Study for the LASMA Property ? Stage I, Stage II and Stage III for the MWRDGC. The project included 72 soil borings at the LASMA Site and 6 borings and 17 soil probes at a nearby potential storage area. The drilling program was designed to provide strategraphic profiles of the soils and in?place volumes and tonnages of materials identified and quality (RQD) of the bedrock below the overburden. All soils were tested and classified. Slope stability analyses were completed with a computer program to determine where the material could be stockpiled with the stockpile dimensions. Calculations included elastic or intermediate ground settlements. Cost estimates were included for seven (7) disposal schemes for the 8 million cubic yards of material at the site. The results of this study will be used for the overburden removal contract for the proposed McCook Reservoir of the TARP project.
