3.3.3　General planning shall properly organize the logistics for convenient transportation and separation of cargo access and pedestrian access based on the features of the plant and its support facilities.

3.3.4　Regional flood control and drainage systems shall be planned in an integrated way.

3.3.5　The arrangement for adjacent plants shall follow the principles below:

1　The administrative areas and other occupied buildings of adjacent plants may be arranged in a centralized area outside the plant areas.

2　The feedstock and product storage tanks for different plants may be planned in the same oil depot outside the plant areas.

3　The utilities and support facilities may be centralized based on their scope of services to provide services for multiple plants.

4　The flare zone should be properly planned and serves for multiple plants or the plant areas constructed at different stages.

5　The logistics methods，logistics routings，and public roads，railway，water ways and pipeline should be planned in an integrated way.

6　The possible cross-pollution shall be avoided between adjacent plant areas.

3.3.6　The main substation outside fence shall be arranged in a safe location that shall facilitate installation of incoming/outgoing feeders and shall not interfere with the plant development in the future.

3.3.7　The water intake along river shall be located upstream of the pollution sources and at the location where river bed is stable，and the water intake facility shall not interfere with navigation.

3.3.8　The centralized wastewater treatment plant should be arranged in the low-lying zone and adjacent to the receiving waters.
