High Percentage

1 ½ inch 100% -- ¾ inch 65% 97%

#4 30% 65% #16 15% 30%

#200* 11% 15%

The fines passing the #200 sieve must be rock material. No clay or silt soil may be added. Limestone material passing the #200 sieve may be used to make up a deficit in the distribution of sandstone aggregate rock, and vice versa. All added material passing the #200 sieve must be derived from rock material that conforms to program specifications. The amount of particles passing the #200 sieve will be determined using the washing procedures specified in PTM No. 100.

*If the Plasticity Index for the Material is 2 or below, then the #200 sieve is permitted to be 11-17%.

pH: 6 – 12.45 as measured by EPA 9045C

LA Abrasion: < 45% loss based on Los Angeles Abrasion test, AASHTO T-96 [ASTM C 131] Plasticity Index: ≤ 4 based on ASTM D4318 – Standard Test Method for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils.

Optimum Moisture: Material will be delivered and placed at optimum moisture content, or up to 2% below that value, as determined for that particular source. The optimum percentage moisture will be determined using Proctor Test ASTM D698, procedure C, Standard.
