Effective farm resource managment and environmental stewardship go hand-in-hand with PondGard agricultural liner.
Whether lining an irrigation canal or a lateral, animal waste containment pond, non-potable farm pond, agrichemical storage area or relining a concrete stock tank, a PondGard agricultural liner provides numerous life-cycle benefits while ensuring groundwater is protected.
Farmers committed to environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance have a simple solution when it comes to effective waste management and natural resource protection. A liner for manure lagoons and agricultural waste containment, which utilizes environmentally friendly geo-textiles, makes a PondGard liner a great option.
PondGard
is a cost effective solution
Low maintenance, long-term durability and resistance to weathering are some of the major advantages. Liners require little or no regular maintenance following installation and can withstand normal environmental exposure for well over 30-years.
Weather resistance
PondGard exhibits outstanding resistance to environmental conditions including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ozone, weathering and thermal stress. PondGard is backed by a 20-year long-term membrane weathering warranty.
Flexibility and conformance
PondGard's superior elongation characteristics enable it to conform to objects in the subgrade, including installation in areas with rock outcroppings or other challenging soil conditions. High tensile strength and ability to withstand temperature extremes ranging from -40 degrees F to 175 degrees F enables year-round installation. The underlayments that we offer also help to protect against terrain hazards.
Environmentally safe
PondGard EPDM provides clean, fresh water for livestock and a safe environment for fish and plant life when used as a farm pond liner. As an animal waste containment pond, or manure lagoon, the EPDM liner also protects groundwater, lakes and rivers from contamination. This means that in addition to their long-lasting and durable attributes the pond and canal liners provide an environmentally friendly solution to waste treatment and containment, and makes it a smart choice.
Puncture resistant
PondGard agricultural liners and underlayments resist punctures from difficult soil conditions such as rocky or inadequate subsoil, and damage from large animal traffic.
Friendly to large animals
Large animals such as livestock and deer can gain sufficient footing to easily escape farm ponds or irrigation canals lined with PondGard EPDM. This alleviates maintenance and unnecessary worry about accidents with the wildlife and with livestock.
Regulatory
Compliance
Meets the Natural Resources Conservations Service (NRCS) Conservation Practice Standard 541A and is approved by NRCS for animal waste containment and other agricultural applications. PondGard is also approved by the National Sanitation Foundation under NSF61 for potable water.
