site? - ANS-Conserve ecological resources present on the site.

minimum existing density threshold. This requirement is intended to conserve
undeveloped greenfields as well as to: - ANS-promote public health and walkability
Which of the following is defined as: "Water that meets or exceeds U.S. Environmental

water does the building need to use compared to a baseline building? - ANS-20%
In order to achieve 1 point (the first tier of achievement) for WE Credit - Outdoor Water
Use Reduction, how much must the project team reduce the landscape water

One of the options to achieve LT Credit � High Priority Site is brownfield remediation. A
brownfield designation must be documented. Which of the following is NOT an
acceptable method of documentation? - ANS-Photographs showing that the site is
littered with empty 50-gallon drums from a previous owner that contained an unknown
liquid.
In order to achieve the minimum the requirements of SS Credit - Rainwater
Management, a project must manage on-site the runoff from a specific size storm event.
What size storm event is the minimum that must be achieved? - ANS-The 80th
percentile storm event
