Hello.
I am working in a project that has the Erosion and control plan following the CGP 2012(LEED V4) , part of the plan is to have weekly inspections on site to review how the erosion and control follows the specifications.
The CGP says that a qualified professional needs to be in charge of the site inspections. We are not sure of what does mean. Does it need to be a Civil Engineer,an Environmental professional or anyone can do it?
What kind of training needs to happen to be considered a qualified professional?
Now our Environmental manager is doing the inspections but we are worry when she is not available(vacation/sickness) if any other person can do the inspections and it is valid to LEED or LEED doesn't care who does the inspections only that they are done?
Thank you
Irene

Hi Irene, I think there's some leeway on who is qualified to perform the inspections, from a LEED perspective. Could your Environmental Manager train the person that would fill in while she's out? I think that would be sufficient to ensure the site inspections are being done properly.

The inspections can be completed by a GC or anyone certified in Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector Training & Certification by their state or municipality.. It use to be a requirement for being a LEED AP...
