This paper describes a three-barrier system of engineered safety features for the cleaning of the Moscow SIA ``Radon`` surface water runoff. The three-barrier system is under development, but several components have been put into operation. For example, in 1995 more than 400 cubic meters of radioactive water (containing 1,500 Bk/l initial specific activity of beta-emitting nuclides and 30 Bk/l initial specific activity of alpha-emitting nuclides) was purified using the ``Aqua-express`` filtration and ultrafiltration modules. Since 1990, solid particles have been removed from the surface water runoff by the two pond settlers. It is hoped that the entire system will be put into operation not later than the year 2000.
