FAQs about SSc1 :

The project site is classified as "prime farmland," but is in a developed area with buildings all around. Can I still comply with this credit?

Our project site is in what FEMA refers to as "Zone D"—an area that has possible but undetermined flood hazards, as no analysis of flood hazards have been conducted. How can we tell if we comply with this credit?

Is it possible to be exempted from the wetlands requirements under this credit if we protect or restore equivalent wetlands elsewhere?

Hi Elisa, There is no qualification of the type of water body, the requirement is no development within 50 feet of any water body.

As defined in the Clean Water Act, small man – made water ponds such as those used in storm water retention, recreation & fire suppression are exempt from this requirement.
