If our entire project site has asbestos soil contamination, but due to budget constraints we are only planning to remediate the soil disturbed for our new buildings and not the undisturbed areas in between buildings, can we qualify for this credit?

Denise, the short answer is no. You must ensure that the asbsetos has been either removed from the project (building or site) or isolated from human contact. For instance, you can place an asphalt layer of isolation if site related, or in the case of piping, encapsulate the asbsestos with a protective layer - or remove the offending contamination.
