Seepage Control Inc. - Sealing Lakes and Ponds with ESS-13

ESS-13 is pumped or poured directly into the water at a pre-determined application rate. The seepage in your pond will decrease 60% to 90% initially, and this original rate will continue to improve with time.

The ESS-13 “Spray-On Formulation” can save 75% or more off the installation costs of other lake sealing methods.

ESS-13 is pre-mixed with our E-13 compaction aid, pumped in pre-measured quantities into the soil with conventional earth moving equipment. The treated soil is then compacted in two consecutive six inch layers.

Treated and Compacted Method


Alameda WetlandsAlameda Wetlands, City of Albuquerque
Albuquerque, New Mexico


This was a cooperative project between the Bureau of Reclamation, the City of Albuquerque - Open Space Division, the US Fish & Wildlife, Intel Corporation, Bernalillo County, and Philips Petroleum.

The wetland covers 139,392 sq ft (3.2 acres) and was constructed with the intention to replicate the natural wetlands that historically occupied the floodplain of the Rio Grande.

 


Kansas Wildlife Parks, Meade HatcheryMeade Hatchery, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks
Meade, Kansas


Meade Fish Rearing Station is located 8 miles south and 5 miles west of Meade in Meade County Kansas. This department-owned complex of 1,244 acres encompasses Meade State Park and Fishing Lake, Meade Wildlife Area and Meade Fish Rearing Station. Meade Fish Rearing Station is the only hatchery in southwest Kansas.

Initially constructed in the 1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the hatchery now consists of seven ESS-13 lined ponds covering 10.9 surface acres holding a volume of 28.7 acre feet of water. The term ESS-13 relates to a soil sealant that has been applied to the soil in our ponds to prevent seepage. Meade Fish Rearing Station is the first hatchery in the nation that has used this technique to seal ponds. Additional construction began in the winter of 2002 to finish lining the remaining twelve ponds. When this project is complete Meade will have a total of nineteen ponds. Water for the hatchery ponds and Meade Lake is pumped from a 10” well that flows 1,500 gallons a minute.

Fish species cultured at the Meade facility include; intermediate channel catfish, hybrid sunfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye and grass carp. In recent years a program has been initiated for the establishment of a northern strain of native Kansas largemouth bass.
