No - I meant to spray permazyme mixture on the clay layers as it was spread around as 4"-6" lift thick layers on the bottom and then each layer compacted. Thus there would be three to several layers of compacted clay layers comprising the 12" to 24" thick clay liner. I suspect the clay would be hauled in and dumped by trucks. The piles would then be spread out as a "lift" layer. Then spray each layer with diluted permazyme solution to optimize the clay moisture content and enhance sealing action during compaction. You could verify this technique with technical people at International Enzymes in CA or LasVegas.

My permazyme literature included a very good Appendix III. Compaction Manual produced by Caterpillar (CAT Road Builders) 1989, 59ppg. International Enzymes provided me a Pond Building Soil calculations and Design information sheet for my pond plan. It noted the amount of Perma-zyme needed. In my case it was minimum 2.6 gal per 165 cu.yds. They may now have a more concentrated version for Perma-Zyme.
