AGGREGATES FOR EARTHWORK

NPS response: while it is possible for the bedding material to meet both gradation requirements of the No. 40 and No. 200 sieve, the engineer will review bedding material that closely adheres to to the proposed gradation, but as per the specs, no more than 10% should pass the No. 200 screen.
