collection pipe will convey the flow to a header located at the north end of the infill segment. An eight -inch diameter header will be also be located on the eastern edge of the horizontal expansion area. All north -south collection laterals will be sloped to the north at a minimum 0.4 percent pre -settlement slope to provide positive post -settlement drainage. The geomembrane liner will be underlain by a layer of clay of adequate thickness and permeability to meet the requirements of Table A of 62-701.400(3)(b)(2). The proposed leachate collection system is depicted on Sheet C-5 of the infill segment plan set. The header empties into a Segment 2 junction manhole, which empties to the leachate pump station. The area served by the pump station increases from 27 acres to 39 acres. Preventative inspections will be done on an annual basis with cleaning of the Segment 2 laterals performed on a bi-annual basis, if needed. Maintenance of the infill segment leachate collection system will be similar to the procedures used for the existing Segment 2 system. Cleanouts for each of the two leachates are provided on upstream and downstream ends. A cleanout is provided for the collection system manifold at the north berm of the lateral expansion area. Construction of the lateral expansion liner will cover the western manholes of the Segment 2 leachate collection system. The manholes will be replaced by a direct piping system. These leachate collection laterals for Segment 2 can be cleaned by power rod/power jet equipment from the eastern manholes, if necessary. Specialized equipment is available on a contractual basis for cleaning six-inch perforated pipes up to 1,200 feet in length. The following vendors are able to perform cleaning of the collection laterals from one end: • Florida Jetting Service - Clearwater, Florida (813) 797-8013 Contact: Graham Townes F-19
