farmland and disturbance limits

1. Does farmland fall under case 1 or 2? 2. Case 1 requires to limit site disturbance. Does it mean that materials storage and all construction facilities have to be within these limits?

Adam, farmland is generally defined as not previously developed.If materials storage and construction facilities will disturb the site, then yes, they need to be within those limits.

Yes but I'm not sure if I should consider it a greenfield site or a graded site.

Adam, what aren't you sure about? I'd need more information on the project site to help you determine that. I would strongly recommend carefully reviewing the definition of previously developed, as well as the credit language for this credit and other relevant credits such as SSc1.
