An alternate system, one based on gravity, requires penetration of both the FML and clay components of the secondary composite liner system. It also requires a monitoring and collection manhole on the opposite side of the landfill cell. The manhole and connecting pipe, however, become an underground storage tank that needs its own secondary containment and LDSs. 

The contamination of groundwater by leakage of hydrocarbons or other pollutants from underground storage tanks, distribution systems and various industrial operations is a major environmental problem. Conventional treatment techniques suffer from serious shortcomings which limit their applicability and efficiency. These include high cost and maintenance requirements, the need to transfer the contamination from one medium to another, and the extended duration of the operation, since decades may be necessary to prevent continued growth of contaminant plumes (Yerushalmi et al., 1999). An alternative to these treatments lies in in situ remediation. 

Tanks installed after the effective date (October 15,1983) of a new Massachusetts law regarding underground storage tanks must have secondary containment and a monitoring system or be constructed of a corrosion-resistant material and... 

The MVS technology is commercially available and was used to remediate soil contaminated with VOCs from a leaking underground storage tank at a Superfund site in upstate New York. The MVS technology was selected to remediate this site over bio venting and soil vapor extraction systems.
