I would like to do the exam LEED AP and I have a very specific question :
FOR A PREVIOUSLY UNDEVELOPED SITE, WHAT WATER BODIES DO NOT HAVE TO MEET THE 50-FOOT SETBACK CRITERIA TO COMPLY SUSTAINABLE SITES CREDIT.CREDIT SITE SELECTION?.
Thank you

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.
