In one of our project, the site includes man-made ponds, which are used as rainwater storage ponds. For the calculation of the protect or restore habitat credit, can I include this pond area in the landscape area calculation? For other credit calculations, we consider this area a non-vegetated area.

I recently asked LEED coach about the use of a project's rainwater management pond as part of a strategy to "restore habitat". Posted the response here: Can properly designed rainwater ponds contribute to restored areas? | LEEDuser (buildinggreen.com). Hope this helps!
