Areas Suitable

Areas Unsuitable

Large size

- planned production areas: without prejudice to safety distances set by legislation and to acoustic compatibility: along the main entrance roads, the internal distribution roads, in areas with urban standards;

- farmland near industrial areas: while maintaining the agricultural use of the land. The plant design in this case must relate to the signs of the agricultural landscape (roads, walls, divisions between farms);

- areas close to mining basins: according to the standards.
