Our project site has a development history going back to the mid-1800's which included a rather lengthy and involved brownfield remediation. Although the documentation for this credit required a great deal of research, seeing all of the historical and envirnomental data in on place really gives a full picture of all of the parameters involved in the project site. This is definately a credit that needs to be implemented very early in a project's development phase.
The only line item that we were not able address directly was for the "Onsite soil types and location, as mapped by the NRCS" The project location was listed as an "Unmapped Area" on the NRCS website. Fortunately, we had done extensive soil borings and testing to indentify the local soil types and issues.
