3-1.7  Local Population  The site should be well away from local population concentrations. 3-2   Scheduling Logic Without knowledge of a specific site, manpower and construction equipment allocations, shipping schedules, and U.S. Army intent and priority for a specific area, it is not possible to propose a schedule.  An installation logic diagram without a time scale is, however, provided in Fig.  3-1 as a guide for the preparation of a schedule.  The logic is in the sequence of the instructions.  Dependencies and appropriate activity overlap are shown. 3-3 Plot Plan With the equipment data and installation instructions provided in this manual, it is believed that the facility can be erected with only a firmed-up plot plan and the field prepared grading plan recommended in Section II.  The following procedure for plot plan preparation is recommended. 3-3.1  After the site has been selected, a preliminary plot plan should be made that shows all the major equipment and system  locations,  including  tanks,  pumps,  floodlight  sets,  fuel  dispensing  areas,  tanker-truck  receipt  areas,  and  the access roads.  Chapter 2 para.'s 2-2 through 2-3.6 and the associated Fig.'s 2-2, 2-3A, 2-38, 2-4A, 2-48, 2-SA and 2-58 should be referred to for guidance. 3-3.2  After  the  primary  cuts  and  fills  have  been  made  so  that  firm  knowledge  of  the  characteristics  of  the  site  is available, and before the earthwork on tank sites, berms, and roadways is started, the preliminary plot plan should be reviewed,  corrected  as  necessary,  and  finalized  into  a  final  plot  plan  on  which  equipment  locations  are  firm.    Final roadwork, tank pad and berm construction must be based on this final plot plan. SECTION II SITE PREPARATION AND EARTHWORK 3-4 General Site Preparation Final  site  selection  and  subsequently  site  preparation  and  earthwork  must  be  based  on  the  plot  plan  prepared  as  in para.'s 3-3 through 3-3.2.  Because the site will probably not be ideal, there must be some give and take between the plot plan and site preparation results.  The following procedures are recommended. 3-4. The first step is to cut an access road to the site unless one already exists. 3-4.2  Site preparation work should be based on a grading plan that minimizes cut and fill operations even if the plan is roughly  prepared  in  the  field.    The  plan  should  be  based  on  actual  on-site  elevations  and  survey,  observation  of obstructions, and knowledge of the types of soils that appear to be present. 3-4.3  Stake  out  the  area  that  must  be  cleared,  marking  where  the  major  components  will  be  located.    Cut,  grub  out, doze, or if necessary, blast out major obstructions, i.e., trees, bush, large rocks and boulders, buildings, etc. 3-4.4  While it may be desirable to clear and finally grade the entire area required for a TPT, it is only necessary to clear and  grade  the  areas  where  a  fuel  unit  will  be  located,  transfer  systems  installed,  roadways  built,  and  loading  and unloading facilities installed.  There must be good drainage regardless of the amount of clearing and grading undertaken. 3-2
