Well with out seeing it myself i do not have a good idea , BUT never go to small . Keep this in mind once you build up for a drive you are damming up a natural water way , What you may think is a trickle can end up a ragging river in heavy rain or snow melt . Back in the days of the Clinton oil push i installed a lot of entrance ways off of state highways county roads and township goat paths and on back the lease road to the well pad. I have used 13 5/8ths conductor pipe 16 and 18 inch corrugated and up to 8 foot stuff . IF this is at the road then you should talk to the state county or township as to what they want , does it need head wall on the inflow or does it need one on both sides ??. You want to set the pipe on sub soil and it must be compacted in while back filling and it should have atleast two feet of dirt over top PLUS any stone . If this is and entrance and you are going to be bring in semi's then ya need no less the 35 feet but forty is better . As for slag /stone for it to handle heavy truck traffic You want no less the eight inches of #1 stone on sub soil then top that with a #4 stone around four inches of that , then on top of that i used what we called 304 , it is a sorta mix of like a #6 on up to 8X and i would put down six inches of that . when done and compacted in tight i don't care what the load or the weather that drive is there to stay . each and every entrance way i install back in the mid seventys is still there some are growen up in weeds now but even when the frost comes out in the spring you could drive in that lease road with a semi weighen in over a hundred grand and not sink . Now IF you could get your hands on some rail road ballast that is some good drive way stuff .
