Is a Category 1 Forest Conservation Easement permitted to protect the limits of disturbance between a project site and an existing wetland if the project site is 60', instead of 100', from a wetlan

I am working on a Non-US project that is located in a new neighborhood that had been graded and developed by the local Municipality (roads and sidewalks) in 2006.

Hello,

I have a site that is currently on previously developed site. Utilities, sidewalks, etc are already in place. However the Soil Survey says the land the is prime farmland if drained.

Hello there,

I have two project sites in question.

1) An very urban site that was previously a parking lot

Our project is LEED NCv2009 and the site is designated as "Farmland of Statewide Importance", but not Prime Farmland. We are trying to clarify Prime Farmland v. Farmland of Statewide Importance.

Do ponds need to meet the 50 ft setback? I understand small man made ponds for recreational, fire supression or stormwater retention purposes are exempt from this setback. Anyone know if these ar

why the distance between the previously undeveloped land and a water body is taken 50 feet???? can u more elaborate the reason why the distance is being taken 50 feet......

hi everyone, working on a project outside of U.S. I ve gathered the necessary equivalent documentation for this credit but it s all in the local language.

Hi. The LEED Online form for this credit was updated recently and now international projects have to "Provide documents identifying how the local equivalent used is equivalent to the referenced".
