Consideration had to given for seismic stability, soil quality, road surface, quality and width, proximity and response time to fire, police, SWAT, and military, utility capacity, distance to Federal rights-of-way, and other factors. A site was selected and contracted but cancelled as the Chinese joint venture partners lost key political allies within the People's Republic of China necessary for exporting opium.
