We have a site that is partially a greenfield and partially previously developed (remediated brownfield). In this instance can we apply the parameters of case 1 to the greenfield portion and the parameters of case 2 to the remediated brownfield portion?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Shannon, this sounds like the most appropriate approach for your project. You may want to submit a CIR or LEED Interpretation for confirmation from GBCI but if you are meeting all the case 1 requirements and limiting disturbance for the greenfield areas, and then also meeting case 2 requirements and protecting / restoring vegetation with the required %, I would see this as a reasonable compliance path to meet the credit. Let us know how it goes.
