FAQs about SSc3 :

There are no construction or renovation projects planned for our project building. Can I skip the erosion and sedimentation control plan for construction activities?

How do I document my project’s landscape waste diversion performance? We don’t divert 100% from landfills, but we do meet the 20% diversion threshold required by the credit.

Are any of the components of the SSc3 plan optional? What if no landscaping areas or planter boxes are in the LEED project boundary? What if I have a zero lot line property?

A pest control product we used is not on the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening List, but I’m pretty certain that it qualifies as least toxic. What steps can I take to confirm this and document it for the LEED submittal?

Our project grounds are fully landscaped with established vegetation. What should I do for the erosion and sedimentation control plan?

Does anyone happen to know if GBCI will accept fertilizer certified organic by other agencies (i.e. Global Organic Alliance (GOA) or the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA)) other than Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI)?

Since this credit doesn't really stipulate specific certifications (the way that some of the materials credits do), I wouldn't anticipate running into trouble using the product you mention, which seem they would be clearly environmentally preferable compared to synthetic fertilizers.
