Site selection climate

Cultivation, including site selection, climate, soil, fertilization, irrigation, crop maintenance, and plant protection with special regard to contaminations and residues. 

If the answer in both cases is "yes," then consider the locd climate. Local cooperation—or lack of it—may he the single most important determinant of site selection, since without it you cannot field a valid test. However if you have kept facility managers informed or involved as the PSM process has gone forward, you should have some ideas about which of them would be par-ticulariy enthusiastic—or otherwise. In addition, having identified site-specific benefits may help you win the support of a manager who might otherwise be reluctant to participate. 

Site-specific climatic factors that are important to selection of landfill cover type and to design of ET landfill covers include daily measurements of precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity, total solar radiation, and wind run.6 45 55 If all of the data are not available, one can make useful—but less accurate—estimates of cover performance using only daily precipitation and maximum and minimum temperature measurements.

For this study three sites from the UAPSP network that typified different regions and climates of the eastern United States were selected. These sites were Uvalda, GA, in the Southeast, Lancaster, KS, west of the Mississippi River, and Underhill, VT, in the Northeast. Criteria used for site selection for precipitation monitoring are outlined in the U.S. EPA Quality Assurance Manual for Precipitation Measurement Systems (5). 

Site selection is extremely important when it comes to establishing a new facility. While no one would build a facility without knowing the labor pool or tax base at a site, the impact on fire protection at that site is often overlooked. Granted, any of the key elements of the fire protection can be corrected but not without cost. Climate, topography, exposure, utilities and municipal services have a big effect on the eomposure of fire protection at a risk. 

The connection to earth can be made utilizing earth rods, earth plates, earth lattices or grids, or buried strip conductors. Selection depends on the locality and type of ground conditions at the site. The effectiveness of the earth connection is, in turn, dependent on the resistivity of the soil at the site, the type of soil and climatic conditions have a direct effect upon the resistance of the connection made. Typical values of resistivity — m) for different types of soil are ... 

Region A or B Site must match the climatic, soil, and agricultural conditions typical of the target crop Some crops are grovm only in certain regions (e.g., rice) while others are common to many regions (e.g., maize). Thus, selection of a test region may be restrictive or relatively flexible... 

Selection from existing or innovative Construction Methods, Schedules and Designs to Adapt projects to the Latest Understanding of the Changing Risks due to Climate at each individual site (e.g., the passive damping system at the Taipei Financial Center). 

The site-specific requirements for landfill remediation should be developed before beginning design or selection of cover type. Site-specific requirements depend on numerous site-specific factors, including landfill history waste type, quantity, and age climate geologic setting local surface water and groundwater use and regulatory requirements. 

Climate. If the plant is located in a cold climate, costs may be increased by the necessity for construction of protective shelters around the process equipment, and special cooling towers or air-conditioning equipment may be required if the prevailing temperatures are high. Excessive humidity or extremes of hot or cold weather can have a serious effect on the economic operation of a plant, and these factors should be examined when selecting a plant site. 

The major factors in the selection of most plant sites are (1) raw materials, (2) markets, (3) energy supply, (4) climate, (5) transportation facilities, and (6) water supply. For a preliminary survey, the first four factors should be considered. Thus, on the basis of raw materials, markets, energy supply, and climate, acceptable locations can usually be reduced to one or two general geographical regions. For example, a preliminary survey might indicate that the best location for a particular plant would be in the south-central or south-eastern part of the United States.
