• Is my site above an aquifer
• Is my site in an air quality management area (AQMA)
• If my site caught fire what environmental receptors are downwind
• Is my site next to a SSSI (site of special scientific interest)
• Is my site suitable for the operations I want to start
• Does my site drain to the surface water or is there a sealed drainage system
