project record at potable water storage
sites throughout California. The record
includes multiple sites with 25 plus years
of performance. Proper maintenance of
the cover and troughs goes a long way
toward achieving service life like this.
Similarly, regular inspection of the
mechanical systems is recommended to
identify any patterns of wear or damage
that have occurred. If each piece of the
system is looked after, the full site will perform better. MWD, for example, utilizes
an internal team of certified commercial
divers to inspect the undersides of covers
annually. The agency also has an internal
cover cleaning crew that follows the biannual cover-cleaning recommendations.
Raven CLI Construction completed
its full floating cover cleaning in April
2019. An additional inspection and
review will be conducted immediately
prior to 24 months of operation on the
site. At that point, the team will walk the
entire floating cover and liner; inspect
hatches, vents, floats and rain troughs;
and all in all, assess the CSPE material for
any issues that may have developed in the
early years of operation.

document the work and ensure the site
partners were recognized.
We thank Geosynthetics and its readership for supporting this series. We
thank our project partners for sharing
their details and experience during the
drafting stages of these articles.
We also want to give special recognition to the following individuals for their
outstanding efforts and hard work on the
Palos Verdes project:
* Doug Hilts, Hilts Consulting Group,
Design and Inspection
* Everett Mundkowsky, P.E., MWD G

Regular inspection of

Acknowledgments
When "Reviving the Palos Verdes
Reservoir" was originally proposed as an
article series, the idea was fairly simple: a
three-part series to document three key
phases of a large project: planning, installation and commissioning. We wanted to
show a project in near-real time, working
with the Geosynthetics editor to deliver
updates as near to when the work was
conducted as was possible. We also saw
the series as a way to deliver a few more
of the "dirty boots" details of a complex
project. As we ventured into it, however,
we experienced a project delay and, thus,
had additional site details we wanted to
share. At least one more installment-
this Part 4-was needed to properly
