We have a project with substantial amount of Gravel. It's part of a soil profile and also for general new construction. It's been specified in the civil scope Division 31. Should we include this (would actually help, since the extraction site is 20 miles away) or would this be rejected because it's not really in Divisions 2-10? Could maybe be part of 2 for LEED purposes, no? Also is there a list of materials certainly not to be included or explanation of materials that are in other divisions (e.g. concrete manhole is div31, but the concrete is div 3 for LEED) and how to handle that?

If you look at the 3rd item in the "Design Development" phase of the "Checklists" tab above, you'll see a list of MasterFormat sections that should be included, per the LEED BD&C Reference Guide. They don't list Division 31, but they DO list much of Division 32, and my reading of MF 04 suggests that the gravel you're talking about might well fit in those parts of Division 32.
