Impervious Material definition

Impervious Material means a material of sufficient thickness, density and composition that is impenetrable to the Regulated Substance, has a permeability of less than 1 X 10 7 cm/sec., and that will prevent the discharge to the lands, ground waters, or surface waters of the State of any Regulated Substance for a period of at least as long as the maximum anticipated time during which the Regulated Substance will be in contact with the material.
Impervious Material means a material through which fluid does not readily pass because of low porosity, very small individual pores, or pores that are disconnected.
Impervious Material for purposes of this permit means a material that does not allow water to pass through it.
