I vaguely remember a practice question about sedimentation and erosion, and it pointed towards Sustainable Sites, but I can't remember if it was A or D.

I thought it was under Water Efficiency, but now that I think about it, it seems more aligned with site management practices.

This is a tricky one. The wording is a bit vague, and the answer choices don't seem to have a clear connection. I'll have to review my notes on the different LEED credits and prerequisites to figure this out.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure on this one. The question mentions a "policy" which makes me think it could be related to a prerequisite, but the answer choices don't seem to match up perfectly. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the keywords "erosion", "sedimentation", and "restore eroding soils". That sounds like it's related to the Sustainable Sites category.
