FAQs about SSc3 :

Is earning one point for this credit an appropriate reward, given the work involved?

Do we have to get testing done even if contamination is obviously present?

If the remediation work is not part of the LEED project scope, can I still achieve this credit?

Are there minimum contamination thresholds that need to be met in order for a site to be classified as a brownfield?

Am I eligible to earn the credit if there is ongoing remediation on my project site and remediation is not yet complete?

I have a project where some mercury contamination was found, but not enough to require remediation for the intended use as an industrial site. I assume that in order to achieve this credit some sort of remediation would have to be performed. That seems to be the intent of the credit. Has anybody achieved this credit without remediation?

Hi E.H., No, you are correct remediation is necessary. We have achieved this credit with asbestos numerous times and mold once, but always with remediation.
