Notes:
Reference: Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Selection, Requirements
Wetlands are defined by U.S. CFR 40. Sites should be at least 100 ft. from wetlands. This
includes both previously developed and undeveloped land.
The other choices are not wetlands and not covered by the U.S. CFR.
For previously undeveloped land, the site should be at least 50 ft. from a body of water
(seas, lakes, rivers, streams) consistent with the terminology in the Clean Water Act. Note
that this applies to UN-developed land only. Developed land can be closer and still earn
the credit, though projects should try to stay away from bodies of water as far as possible.
