Which of the following site/building conditions would disqualify the project for Sustainable Sites credit, Site Selection?
A: New tourist hotel constructed 25 feet from the ocean in place of an existing hotel destroyed the previous year by a hurricane
B: A new high school planned on site of an old town park, while equal size/value land being remediated to become new town park
C: A new sustainable design learning facility that will be erected on a site that inhabits a species of threatened spider
D: A new mall who’s footprint intersects with a 100 mile radius of a wetland that is home to an endangered species of alligator

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:

Although a sustainable design learning facility could increase awareness, to earn a point for the SSc1, Site Selection, no endangered or threatened species can inhabit the site –even if it is only an insect.

The tourist hotel would be eligible for the point, even though it is within 50 feet of a body of water, because it is on a previously developed site.

The high school is eligible, because the public parkland will be replaced with a public park of equal/greater value.

The new mall’s proximity to the wetland is not a factor because the requirements state a 100 foot radius to wetlands, not a 100 mile radius.
