ABSTRACT:
A hazardous waste barrier system for preventing the generally lateral, subterranean migration of certain fluid substances (including both liquid and gaseous fluids) beyond an established perimeter, while providing controlled collection of same for monitoring or disposal. The present system utilizes a barrier wall, which may be formed in-ground via horizontally rolled plastic sheeting or slidingly or otherwise engaged panels. The present system may be configured to intersect the flow path of the substance to be contained, and may be configured with additional systems to enhance containment or collection of the fluid. In use, the barrier of the present invention is installed by first making an excavation to accommodate the barrier system, and the excavation and barrier wall is implemented to a depth so as to allow for the interception with the established or anticipated migration path of the substance to be contained or collected, and/or processed.
