Abstract
A unified system for monitoring hazardous and toxic waste is provided as a built-in three dimensional monitoring system designed and installed prior to the waste and extended as the waste is accumulated and thus provides monitoring for leaks of hazardous waste below the base, at the base and throughout the contained or uncontained mass of waste, regardless of design, construction, and function or malfunction of the mass. This replaces post depositional, random drilling to locate possible leaks from the mass of hazardous waste and provides a three dimensional unit for monitoring the deposit for the protection of the ground water and the environment.
