735.1GENERAL —From a manufacturer listed in Bulletin 15 and conforming to the following requirements:

(a)Fabric. Use fabric consisting of long chain polymeric filaments or yarns such as polyethylene,

polyamide, polyvinylidene -chloride, polypropylene, or polyester formed into a stable network so that the filaments or yarns retain their relative position to each other. Use fabric structures as noted in Table A. Slit film woven fabrics may only be used for Class 3 Geotextiles. Chemically - or thermally -bonded fabrics are not allowed for any class of geotextile. Use fabric inert to commonly encountered construction chemicals or substances. During periods of shipment and storage, protect the fabric from direct sunlight, ultra -violet rays, temperatures greater than 140F, mud, dirt, dust, and debris. To the extent possible, wrap the fabric in a heavy -duty c overing or shield from direct sunlight. Geotextiles will be rejected at the time of installation if any defects, deterioration, or damage was incurred during manufacture, transportation, or storage.

(b)Physical Requirements. Table A, for the indicated construction class and type.
(c)Acceptance. Acceptance of the geotextile will be based on certified test data submitted by the

manufacturer and on testing by Laboratory Testing Section ( LTS).

(d)Certification. Certify each shipment as specified in Section 106.03(b)3 . Visibly label all shipments

on the fabric or its container with the manufacturer's name, fabric type or trade name, lot number, and material quantity.
