Featured product: Wastewater lagoon liners
------------------------------------------------------

Of the hundreds of wastewater lagoons in our region (Iowa alone has more 
than 700), most are built on compacted soil or use clay to create a 
minimally-permeable barrier between the wastewater and the groundwater 
below. Geomembrane liners can be far superior to compacted soil liners 
for improving the quality of isolation between the wastewater and the 
ground below, since they are fabricated under controlled factory 
conditions and can be rigorously tested both prior to shipment and in 
the field.

For those applications where a sound, reliable barrier is necessary to 
improve source-water protection, we can offer a wide range of materials 
for lagoon liners, including the impressive Layfield EnviroLiner. 
EnviroLiner can be warranted for 20 years, and is optimal for its ease 
of installation. With UV stability, it can be installed without a soil 
cover and requires a minimum amount of labor to install for the long term.

A growing need in Nebraska and Kansas has been for liners for small 
waste ponds where uranium filtration has been installed. This kind of 
application, though challenging, can also be met by geomembrane liners.
