Abstract:
An aquatic containment material and method of using the same for containing a contaminant in a body of water. The containment material includes a deflection layer permeable to water and with low permeability to the contaminant. A containment layer is connected with the deflection layer and is also permeable to water and with low permeability to the contaminant. The containment material has tensile strength, permittivity to water, and rigidity selected to maintain a vertical position or other selected shape at an expected flow rate across the containment material in a body of water in which the containment material is designed to be used for a given application.

Claim (Index 27):
A boom comprising:\n a plurality of buoyant spars, the buoyant spars each comprising:\n a buoyant portion for providing buoyancy in a body of water; and \n a ballast portion for orienting the spars in the body of water; and \n a plurality of sections of a containment material, each section extending for a section length between neighboring buoyant spars, the containment material comprising:\n a deflection layer permeable to water and having a low permeability for a selected contaminant; and \n a first containment layer connected with the deflection layer, the first containment layer permeable to water and having a low permeability for the selected contaminant; \n wherein the containment material has a tensile strength and permittivity to water for containing the contaminant in water at a selected flow rate; the buoyant spars provide buoyancy to locate the containment layer in the body of water at a selected height above a surface of the body of water and a selected depth below the surface of the body of water; and the containment material has a rigidity for remaining substantially vertical at the selected height above the surface of the body of water along the section length between neighboring buoyant spars.
