ABSTRACT
Initial planning is crucial to a well-designed and operational facility. Moreover, it can avoid problems with the public, particularly adjacent receptors. It may be valuable to involve the public early in the process. What is the facility going to process? How will the facility avoid taking in hazardous waste? What plans are there for traf—c? If issues arise, such as odors or noise, who is responsible? Proper planning can avoid signi—cant odor problems, bioaerosol issues, runoff, groundwater aspects, and other environmental issues. It can result in more ef—cient and economic operations.
