REVETMENT DESCRIPTION. Broken limestone, dolomite, quartzite, or granite from an approved source as described in Materials I.M. 409 and meeting the following requirements. • A minimum of 50% of the stone is to be composed of beds or slabs more than 5 inches thick. • A minimum of 10% of the beds or slabs are to be thick enough to produce the required weight of either the stone or concrete, with the greatest dimension not more than two times the smallest dimension.
