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?

NC-2009 SSc3:Brownfield Redevelopment

Lead Paint

Hey. I have a quick LEED question. In dealing with Lead paint removal on a project does anything need to happen for LEED in terms of documentation and/or protocol? I understand that it doesn't qualify for the SS credit, but want to confirm what we need to do if anything. Thanks!

Megan, if you are not attempting the SSc3 credit, then there is no LEED obligation for you do anything. However, if you are removing the lead contamination, as a matter of professional prudence I would advice having the extraction process documented. Look at it as layer of protection for both the Owner and you in the event any future liability claim is charged.
