Schools-2009 SSc1:Site Selection

Water Bodies

I have a school project that is actually the reconstruction of the school in the same site that it was previously located. This site limits with a river (the school auditorium is practically over it). Can I count the Site Selection credit in this case? Thanks!

Gabriela, there is no exemption to the water bodies requirement for previously developed sites. I don't think you can earn the credit unless you move the building.

Tristan, thanks for your quick answer, but the credit requirements say "previously undeveloped land within 50 feet of a water body" and the site is, as I explained before, developed and homed the school prior to the earthquake that affected it and had to be demolished.

Oh gosh, you're right. I was thinking wetlands. Well, you have your answer!
