From page 7...
... After an extensive program of research, the Hanford group recently installed a prototype of the Hanford Surface Barrier in the 200E area that is being subjected to an intensive program of performance monitoring. The Hanford researchers have expanded the concept of surface barriers to the control of contaminant migration and have recently proposed three conceptual designs that are engineered according to the nature of the waste and to comply with regulatory design requirements (U.S.

... than the alternative of in situ stabilization and isolation. The costs of monitoring contaminant migration will be incurred in either remediation scenario.
