Man-made wetlands for the waste water treatment system are not going to be defined as wetlands by 40 CFR or identified by state or local. Hi Steve,

Per the explanation on p. 31 of the 2.2 Ref guide: small man-made ponds, such as those used in storm water prevention, fire suppression and recreation are not to be included BUT man made wetlands and other water bodies created to restore nat. habitat and ecological systems are not exempt If you create a wetlands as an ‘on site wastewater treatment system’ to qualify for WE 2, does this need to be located at least 50′ from any development per the Clean Water Act?

Regarding the "previously undeveloped" sites for the two particular requirements you mentioned, if the site has been previously developed on, then it does not breach the requirement therefore would count towards this credit. I hope that makes sense. Thanks and good luck! This credit is available to all sites as long as it does not breach any of the listed requirements.

So if a potential site has been already developed, and is still below the flood plane OR is closer than 50 feet to a lake, etc could you still qualify for this credit? Or is this credit only related to undeveloped sites? The reference guide mentioned PREVIOUSLY UNDEVELOPED sites with respect to the flood elevation and next to bodies of water.
