FAQs about SSc2 :

We’re pursing the onsite option. Do I have to provide the scientific names for the plants on our site?

For a previously developed site, how is existing soil restored?

Is the offsite financial support a one-time fee or is it ongoing?

NC-v4 SSc2:Site development - protect or restore habitat

Turf-grass area

Hello all. Our site consists of an existed building that is going to be demolished, some paved areas and approximately 30% of green areas with turf-grass and few trees. Are these green areas considered to be greenfield or previously developed? In case they are considered to be previously developed then we can pursue the credit by only restoring 30% of the site, is that correct?

Hi Jody, the Reference Guide says that "greenfields are areas that have not been previously developed, graded, or disturbed." It sounds like vegetation that's associated with an existing building and paved areas would likely be considered previously developed. And in that case, you're correct that 30% of the site's previously developed areas need to be restored.
