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 60):
A method of containing a contaminant in a body of water comprising:\n providing an aquatic containment material with a tensile strength and permittivity to water for containing the contaminant in the body of water at a selected flow rate across the containment material, and a rigidity for remaining substantially vertical at a selected height along a selected length between anchor points for the aquatic containment material, the aquatic containment material comprising:\n a deflection layer permeable to water and having a low permeability for the selected contaminant; and \n a containment layer connected with the containment letter, the containment layer permeable to water and having a low permeability for a selected contaminant; \n locating the aquatic containment material in the body of water, with the deflection layer facing a contaminated portion of the body of water including at least a portion of the contaminant and with the containment layer facing open water with a lower concentration of the contaminant than the contaminated portion; and securing the aquatic containment material in the body of water to restrict passage of the contaminant through the deflection layer and the containment layer, and across the aquatic containment material, for containing the contaminant.
