MASSDOT produced a Supplemental Specification to the old 1995 Standard Specification in 2006. It states:
SUBSECTION M9.50.0 Geotextile Fabrics. (page III.98) Replace existing Subsection with the following: Geotextile fabric used for subsurface drainage, separation, stabilization, permanent erosion control, temporary silt fences, or paving fabric shall conform to requirements of AASHTO M 288 for the intended application.
The Qualified Construction Materials List is very broad and does not appear to have any connection to AASHTO.
