    permeability of clay barrier

    Thanks for the responses. My problem is relating that to the EPA !. We have a spec of 10-9 in the clay barrier, but I have 10-8 materials - so how do I convince them that we can construct a cap with the same rate of infiltration from rainfall ?. Do we increase then depth ?
