Hello,
Our project was built on a former sports field. I was wondering if a sports field (baseball) is considered graded or prime farmland for credit SSc1? For credit SSc5.2, a sports field is exempt as natural environment therefore I would think that it would not be considered graded or prime farmland for SSc1.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? I haven't found a CIR or query on LEED User to shed some light on this.
Thank you,
Sophie

Sophie, the definition of prime farmland would, I think, exclude a baseball field. The field would have to be suitable for growing crops and available for that use.
