Hi, I am performing a Major Renovation Project that footprint building is equal to Project area site. The site archive all requirements of ssc1.
You can achieve this credit if the project is a rehabilitation and no site selection?
Thankss

Yes, a renovation can earn SSc1 if you meet the credit requirements.

If the project is outside the United States, but I use the definition of Prime Farmland as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Volume 6, Parts 400 to 699, Section 657.5 (citation 7CFR657.5).
Do I have to check the box "Is the project located outside the U.S. and using a local equivalent"?

VIctor, I don't think you need to check the box in that case.

Thank you for the discussion. I was thinking that if a project is a major renovation there shouldn't be any need of having to prove that it is not a prime farmland, elevation is ower than 5 feet above the elevation of the 100- year flood, identified habitat for any species, within 50 feet of a water body, defined as seas, lakes, rivers, streams and tributaries which support or could support aquatic life, recreation or industrial use and not a public parkland. Just mentioning that it is a previously developed land is good enough. Am I correct?
