FAQs about LTc3 :

If remediation has occurred on the site in the past, outside of the LEED project scope, would it achieve this credit?

The priority designation boundary where our project is located is set to change soon. Will we still qualify for this credit?

In the past we've been able to get credit for buildings contaminated with asbestos. Is that still true?

NC-v4 LTc3:High priority site

Above ground storage tanks

A project I am working on had (QTY: 27) above ground storage tanks removed from the site. This work was overseen by a 3rd party consultant, permitted by the local AHJ, and registered with the DEP. No soil testing was performed since all the tanks were above ground. No ESAs were performed. I want to use the closure report to document Option 3 for brownfield remediation. Has anyone successfully done this before?

To be eligible for Option 3 - Brownfield Remediation, there has to some level of soil or ground water contamination in the site. EPA Phase I and Phase II Enviornmental Site Assessments or local equivalent assessments should be performed. Typically, soil, soil vapor, ground water and/or structural materials are tested. Without having proper testing done, its unsure if site is contaminated. This may not qualify for brownfield remediation.
