Summary

Description	English: Theorized design of notices to be mounted/engraved into 'Large Surface Markers', 32 pillars located on the outer perimeter of the 41 square kilometer controlled area at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The final sized signs will be 4 feet (1.21 meter) wide by 6 feet (1.82 meters) tall. It will also be in the following languages, in addition to English: Spanish, Russian, French, Chinese, Arabic, and Navajo. Large Surface Marker - Controlled Area Boundary Notice - English.

THE RADIOACTIVE WASTES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE BURIED WITHIN AN AREA THAT IS 660 METER BY 810 METERS. THE WASTE IS BURIED 655 METERS DEEP. THIS PLACE WAS CHOSEN TO PUT THIS DANGEROUS MATERIAL FAR AWAY FROM PEOPLE AND OTHER LIVING THINGS.
