The community of Brookfield, Wisconsin has had a moratorium on the development of five homes in a 25-home subdivision sited close to a former landfill. The town council has been concerned with how much methane might escape through the landfill cap into homes. The use of an EVOH-enhanced geosynthetic barrier might be the answer. EVOH layers have been shown to significantly increase the gas barrier performance of membranes. Incorporated into thicker geomembranes, capping and gas barrier needs could be satisfied fully in a single product.
