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.
