*Coarse sand for LID construction shall be washed clean and free free of toxic materials.
*The pH of the sand shall be ≤ 7.0.
*Manufactured sand from limestone or dolostone parent material is not acceptable.
*The coarse sand shall have a fineness modulus index between 2.8 and 3.1 according to [https://www.astm.org/Standards/C33 ASTM C33/C33M], or otherwise meet the gradation below.
