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.
