Dear All,
We are pursuing option 1 in one of our projects and want to submit it for Design Submission as this is a Design Credit.
However Documentation requires "basic soils test(s) to
demonstrate the qualities of the restored soils" - meaning tests on soil characteristics but more particularly on soil that is imported on site.
The final selection for imported soil will be done with the contractor in the construction phase. How can we provide the required documentation at design stage?
Thanks for your help

Charline, I'm sorry to leave you hanging. I've been trying to check with USGBC for guidance on this.

Hi Charline,
Typically, if credits have two parts or have "mixed" documentation like this, the reviewer will likely push it to the construction review. Projects are welcome to submit in the design phase, but I suggest placing a narrative explaining the circumstance.
