FAQs about RPc1 :

How many points can a project achieve from Regional Priority credits?

Can a project receive a point for Exemplary Performance for a credit as well as a point if that credit is also a Regional Priority credit?

My project does not have a zip code because it is not located in the U.S. Can the project still apply for Regional Priority credits?

NC-2009 RPc1:Regional Priority

ACP and Regional Priority

I suspect I know the answer to this, but I'm wondering if others have any experience with earning Regional Priority points having used an Alternate Compliance Path. Our project is pursuing Pilot Credit 83 Site Development Protect or Restore Habitat Alternative Compliance Path (which refers to the World Fish and Wildlife Fund). Our zip code includes SS 5 Protect or Restore Habitat as a Regional Priority option, but it references the core 2 options, not the ACP. Should I assume that the RP is closed to us bc we're pursuing the Pilot Credit?

Joanna, I would think you're right, though it may be worth checking with GBCI. I see this was posted a while back. Let us know what you've learned!

Project location: Portland, Oregon, USA Tristan, Have you heard any further about whether Alternate Compliance Paths may count toward Regional Priority points? MRc7 - Certified Wood is one of our Regional Priorities, and I'm curious whether MRpc102 - Legal Wood might also be eligible for the Regional Priority bonus. I realize this is a contentious ACP, and I'm torn about whether to submit this and potentially promote SFI as an alternative to FSC. Hopefully the next round of adoption for legal wood will address the differences between various forest management systems. Thanks, Stephen

I haven't. I would assume that when the RP info indicates no specific case or option, that any achievement of the credit is kosher, and in this case, the ACP allows you to achieve the credit, so it seems okay to me.
