Our project consists of constructing a high-rise dormitory building on the site of an existing parking lot in downtown Boston. To the best of our knowledge, the site is not classified as a Brownfield by the EPA, and there are no classified Brownfields on campus. However, the site requires significant remediation of contaminated soils. Our site selection process considered other "greenfield" sites, but chose this site in order to maintain existing campus green space. The intent of this credit is to "rehabilitate damaged sites where development is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination, reducing pressure on undeveloped land." We believe that our project meets this intent. Can we still apply for this credit if the site is not classified as a Brownfield by the EPA?
