Synthesized answer (unofficial)

UFC 3-220-08FA, "Engineering Use of Geotextiles," is an INACTIVE Unified Facilities Criteria document current as of 16 January 2004 [UFC 3-220-08FA]. It supersedes TM 5-818-8 (20 July 1995) and was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency [UFC 3-220-08FA].

The document provides engineering criteria for geotextile selection and application based on soil and hydraulic conditions [AFPAM 10-219 Volume 7 para 2.3.2.3.4]. However, because this UFC is marked INACTIVE, you should consult the active replacement criteria or the official source for current guidance on geotextile engineering use in DoD projects.
