<p>Primary considerations are:

<ol>

~~<li>Suitable apparent opening size (AOS) for non-woven fabrics, or percent open area (POA) for woven fabrics, to maintain water flow even with sediment and microbial film~~

~~build-up;</li>~~

<li>Maximum forces that will be exerted on the fabric (i.e., what tensile, tear and puncture strength ratings are required?);</li>

<li>Load bearing ratio of the underlying native soil (i.e., is geotextile needed to prevent downward migration of aggregate into the native soil?);</li>

<li>Load bearing ratio of the underlying native soil (i.e. is the geotextile needed to prevent downward migration of aggregate into the native soil?);</li>

<li>Texture (i.e., grain size distribution) of the overlying ~~aggregate~~ material; and</li>

<li>Texture (i.e., grain size distribution) of the overlying fill material; and</li>

<li>Permeability of the native soil</li>

<li>Suitable apparent opening size (AOS) for non-woven fabrics, or percent open area (POA) for woven fabrics, to maintain water flow even with sediment and microbial film build-up;</li>
