FAQs about LTc3 :

If remediation has occurred on the site in the past, outside of the LEED project scope, would it achieve this credit?

The priority designation boundary where our project is located is set to change soon. Will we still qualify for this credit?

In the past we've been able to get credit for buildings contaminated with asbestos. Is that still true?

Does a site that falls under the DDA areas need to be poverty rate qualified in order for me to achieve the priority designation credit under High Priority Site?

If a project is located in a site in a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Qualified Census Tract (QCT) or Difficult Development Area (DDA), the project will meet requirement for LTc High Priority Site for v4 project. No need to meet proverty rate.

Hi Hetvi,
No, it does not as long as the project is within the Difficult Development Areas (DDA) site. The requirement is to provide the vicinity map to show that the project is within the Difficult Development Areas (DDA) site. A project site also qualifies even if only a portion is in the high-priority designated area (LEED BD+C v4 guide page 74).
