Fortunately our site does not qualify for credit under this provision of LEED NC 2.2 (The LEED rating system for New Construction & Major Renovation is often abbreviated as LEED NC and '2.2' is the current edition that all new projects will fall under until the new edition is released in late 2009). It is however a good incentive to develop Brownfield sites.
There is an ASTM standard for documenting the contamination of Brownfield sites, ASTM E1903-97 Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. If the site in question has already been designated as a brownfield site by local, state or federal government agencies then an ASTM documentation of the site will not be necessary.
