Batch leachate samples (24-h short-term test) are tested for various removal, reduction, and retardation (RRR) processes likely to be encountered as runoff moves away from the highway area. For removal, reduction, and retardation (RRR) process tests, soil sorption tests are conducted for both fill and nonfill materials, while volatilization, photolysis, and biodegradation tests are conducted only on non-fill materials that have organic compounds in their leachates. RRR process tests are described briefly in this following section. Detailed procedures for these tests are included in Nelson et al. [4]. The following is a summary of the test procedures. 

Depending on customer requirements, constant verification of a filled material s properties may be required. This responsibility may to some extent be reduced by the use of customer-certified precompounded materials from approved suppliers. Otherwise, particularly when fillers are added to resin near the press, in-house testing may require trained support staff using standardized, certified testing equipment and methods, and additional quality certification procedures.

Sampling and testing of soil materials are carried out according to established procedures. It is recommended to test all subgrade material within 600 mm of the planned elevation and in embankment areas to test the expected source of the fill material. Apart from the resilient modulus test (AASHTO T 307 2007 Asphalt Institute 1997), all other tests required... 

A specific working procedure (placing hydraulic fill as much as possible by dumpinglplacing dry fill material in lifts of 0.5 ml etc.) is followed in order to achieve an acceptable density. The following sampling and testing sequence has been adopted ...
