Summary

Description	English: Theorized design of 'Large Surface Markers' on the repository footprint at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's 16 pillars located on the outer edge of the repository, inside the exclusion zone. Large Surface Marker - Repository Footprint Markers - English. DANGER POISONOUS RADIOACTIVE WASTE HERE DO NOT DIG OR DRILL IS BURIED THESE STRUCTURES MARK AN AREA USED TO BURY RADIOACTIVE WASTES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. THE AREA IS 660 BY 810 METERS AND THE WASTE IS BURIED 655 METERS DOWN. THIS PLACE WAS CHOSEN TO PUT THESE DANGEROUS MATERIALS FAR AWAY FROM PEOPLE AND OTHER LIVING THINGS. THE ROCK AND WATER IN THIS AREA MAY NOT LOOK, FEEL, OR SMELL UNUSUAL, BUT MAY BE POISONED BY RADIOACTIVE WASTES AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. WHEN RADIOACTIVE MATTER DECAYS, IT GIVES OFF INVISIBLE ENERGY THAT CAN DESTROY OR DAMAGE PEOPLE, ANIMALS, AND PLANTS. DO NOT DRILL HERE. DO NOT DIG HERE. DO NOT DO ANYTHING WITH ROCKS OR WATER IN THIS AREA. DO NOT DESTROY THIS MARKER. THIS MARKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO LAST 10,000 YEARS. IF THE MARKER IS DIFFICULT TO READ, ADD NEW MARKERS COMPOSED OF LONGER LASTING MATERIALS AND COPY THIS MESSAGE IN YOUR LANGUAGE ONTO THEM. THE SITE WAS KNOWN AS THE WIPP (WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT) SITE WHEN IT WAS CLOSED IN 2030 A.D. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO THE BUILDING AT THE CENTER OF THIS MARKED AREA. IF THE MESSAGES WITHIN THE INFORMATION CENTER ARE UNUSABLE, THEY HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED IN A ROOM BURIED 6 METERS DEEP 160 METERS NORTH OF THE BERM ON A LINE PASSING THROUGH THE INFORMATION CENTER, THE CENTER OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH SECTIONS OF THE BERM, AND THE HOT CELL CONCRETE ARTIFACT STANDING APPROXIMATELY 320 METERS NORTH OF THE BERM CENTER LINE. THE ROOM LOCATION IS ALSO MARKED BY MAGNETIC SIGNATURE. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS ROOM UNLESS THE INFORMATION CENTER MESSAGES ARE LOST. LEAVE THE ROOM BURIED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. IF THE ROOM BECOMES EXPOSED, PROTECT IT BY ADDITIONAL COVERING.
