Plant site topography

Site characteristics. The characteristics of the land at a proposed plant site should be examined carefully. The topography of the tract of land and the soil... [Pg.93]

The facility or plant site should be level. If this is not possible sloped topography can be used to achieve additional design safety. For example, major storage facilities should be located at a lower elevation than the process area to prevent released liquid or heavy hydrocarbon vapors from flowing downhill to the process area. [Pg.222]

Biomass Redistribution Associated with Deforestation and Fire. The influence of deforestation on biogeochemical cycles is dependent upon a number of factors associated with the unique characteristics of the ecosystem (climate, soils, topography, etc), the quantity of the total nutrient pool stored in aboveground biomass (Table II), and the level of disturbance (i.e. the degree of canopy removal, soil disturbance, and the quantity of wood or other forest products exported from the site). The quantity of biomass consumed by one or more slash fires following deforestation can also dramatically increase nutrient losses, influence post fire plant succession, and hence, postfire biogeochemical cycles. [Pg.430]

The noise at landfill sites is essentially associated with vehicle movements, either as a result of the throughput of vehicles, or as a result of reversing bleepers on plant. Such noise can be most easily controlled by the effective use of natural or artificial barriers such as soil embankments, tree stands and good use of the local topography, although there will be obvoius problems associated with landraising schemes, where there will be potential for noise to travel further than with normal landfill schemes, and where the construction of barriers to sound travel wiU be more difficult.. Controls may also be placed on the operational hours of the site. [Pg.111]

Ponding in the plant area due to the topography of the site area. [Pg.69]
