At an office park, the stormwater management control is a large retention pond that is managed by an aquatic service vendor. They provide inspection logs for the LEED documentation. Recently, they recommended adding sterile carp to control an outgrowth of vegetation.
1)How and where is the best place to document this?
On one hand, it is part of the maintenance of our stormwater control (SSc6).
On the other hand, it is an organic and low-impact maintenance of the landscape and pest control (SSc3).
2) Is it worth exemplary performance because of a synergy among credits?

Alyson, I could see this being a part of a landscape management plan that earns this credit, although I don't think it will make or break the credit. You would need to have a set of comprehensive practices covering multiple areas. I don't see it being the basis for an EP point, simply because synergies among credits aren't considered as a basis for EP. Nice work, though!

This pond also receives algaecide to control overgrowth of...well, algae, must that be included in this credit?
Does anyone know if the SF Hazard criteria includes aquatic products/pests?
The active ingredient is cooper-a natural mineral-this seems 'organic' and 'least toxic' to me.
I read in the IEQc3.6 forum that projects can use any products not on this list with universal notification. is that my best option here?
thanks
