SS Credit 3
SS Credit 3: Brownfield Redevelopment
1 Point

Intent
Rehabilitate damaged sites where development is complicated by environmental contamination, reducing pressure on undeveloped land.

Requirements
Develop on a site documented as contaminated (by means of an ASTM E1903-97 Phase II Environmental Site Assessment or a local Voluntary Cleanup Program) OR on a site defined as a brownfield by a local, state or federal government agency.

Potential Technologies & Strategies
During the site selection process, give preference to brownfield sites. Identify tax incentives and property cost savings. Coordinate site development plans with remediation activity, as appropriate.
