My first question would be why do you want to use "Pea-Stone" instead of 3/4 clean? We use 3/4 and up for drainage work. What are the supposed benefits of "Pea-Stone"? Just curious.

As far as the retaining wall application, you said clean fill? Do you mean fill for the drainage zone, or for the reinforcement zone? Drainage zone, I guess it would not be a problem if the gravel was the right size. For the reinforcment zone you need some filler material to achieve the desired proctor.
