At least 20 days before starting pavement reclamation work, submit the QC plan.
The QC plan must describe the organization, responsible parties, and procedures you will use to:
1. Perform QC including sampling, testing, and reporting
2. Determine action limits if corrective actions are needed
3. Implement corrective actions
4. Ensure pulverizing, compacting, grading, and finishing activities are coordinated
The QC plan must include copies of the forms that will be used to provide the required inspection records and sampling and testing results. Forms must show project requirements. The form for recording and reporting the QC measurements must show the proportions of materials used.
The QC plan must include a contingency plan that describes the corrective actions you will take in the event of equipment break down. The corrective actions must include repairing and reopening the roadway to traffic using minor HMA under section 39.

1. Asphaltic emulsion type
2. Weight ratio of water to bituminous material in the original asphaltic emulsion
3. Weight of asphaltic emulsion before diluting
4. Weight of added water

30-1.01D(1) General
Divide the area to be reclaimed into lots except the 1st test strip is the 1st lot and must be at least 2,000 sq yd. A quantity placed at the end of a work shift greater than 500 sq yd is considered 1 lot. If a quantity of reclaimed pavement placed at the end of a work shift is less than 500 sq yd, you may either count this quantity as 1 lot or include the test results for quality control in the previous lot.
For any lot including the test strip, stop reclaimed pavement activities and immediately inform the Engineer if any test result does not comply with the specifications.
Stop reclaimed pavement activities for noncompliance with the specifications. Before resuming activities:
1. Notify the Engineer of the adjustments you will make
2. Remedy or replace the noncompliant lot until it complies with specifications
3. Construct a 1000 sq yd test strip with proposed adjustments demonstrating ability to comply with the specifications
