If your project scope is restoring the soils in areas which will then be paved with pervious pavers in lieu of vegitation, can that area still count towards Option 1 for On-Site restoration?

Hi Nicole, the main intent of this credit is to "provide habitat and promote biodiversity". I think USGBC expects restored soils to support vegetation that in turn provides habitat, so I don't think pervious pavers would be accepted.
