artificially constructed material that is sufficiently thick and impermeable
(at least 10"e cm/sec for the regulated substance stored) to direct a release
to the monitoring point and permit Its detection,
(ii) The barrier is compatible with the regulated substance stored so
that a release from the LIST system will not cause a deterioration of the
