ABSTRACT:
A shore seal boom having a buoyancy chamber and a ballast chamber is employed to contain hazardous material within a confined area. An end connector bar is employed to connect the ends of the buoyancy chamber and the ballast chamber, wherein the ballast chamber includes a tapered bottom surface so that the end connector bar is maintained in a substantially perpendicular relationship with the shore or other support surface upon which the shore seal boom is maintained. The perpendicular relationship of the end connector bar facilitates the attachment to other short seal booms and maintains a sealed connection between the boom and the ground surface.
