Hello,
I would like to ask you for your opinion.
The site is a former brownfiled. The previous owner intended to build a building on the place of demolished industrial complex and remediation of the site was done in 2002 as a requirement of local authorities.
However, the project was stopped and the plot was covered with asphalt and used as a temporary parking. The new owner of the site wants to build a new building on this place.
Is the previous remediation of the site acceptable for the new project?
Thank you for any hint.
Regards
Frantisek

I don't think so. If the site has been remediated, it is not a brownfield. I think that's a little unfortunate because these kinds of sites can be hard to work with anyway, so I'd encourage you to look at whether another designation might apply. The federal designations are pretty broad.

Hi Tristan and Frantisek, I was wondering this too and saw on page 74 of the Reference Guide "if the project is located on a site that has already been completely assessed and remediated, the results of that assessment and remediation may be used toward achievement of this option if complete documentation is provided." This would lead me to belive it can count...Does anyone have any more information on this?

Marilyn, I think you're right. Thanks for the deeper dig! I think as long as full documentation is available, it should work! I think that's a good move for LEED.
