722.03 Erosion Control Geotextile The Erosion Control geotext ile shall meet or
exceed the requirements of Table 4. All property values, with the exception of AOS, represent MARV in the weakest principal direction. Values for AOS represent maximum average roll values. Both woven and non-woven geotextiles are acceptable; however, w oven "slit-film" geotextiles will not be allowed.
