Inquiry

Our project is located on the bank of the Willamette River in Portland, OR. The site is being redeveloped (i.e. it is not a greenfield). Prior to the initial development the site was covered in water from the river. In order to do that initial develop the site was filled in and a wall was erected to keep the river back. We are including a 2 acre pond in our project. Since the undeveloped condition of the site consisted mostly of water, can we count the pond toward the restoration of 50% of the site area?
