882.1GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The material will conform to the specifications for the particular material required by the contract. The material will be sound durable particles of ledge rock, gravel, recycled concrete pavement (RCA) removed from within the project limits, and sand. The material may include limited amounts of fine soil particles, but will be free of vegetation or organic debris, paper, metal, glass, and other foreign material.

882.2SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Aggregates for granular bases and surfacing will conform to the requirements of Table 1. TABLE 1 *1The fraction passing the #200 sieve will not be greater than 2/3 of the fraction passing the #40 sieve. In no case will the upper limit specified for the #200 sieve be exceeded. *2Requirements apply to ledge rock other than limestone ledge rock. *3Acceptance of pit run will be by visual inspection. The Engineer may require a sieve analysis to verify the material meets the specified gradation. Independent Assurance will not be required.
