FAQs about SSc3 :

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?

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.

My landscaper is using a 100% Natural Organic component fertilizer with a ratio of 3-3-2. The fertilizer is made from “true organics that come from poultry or other animal manures which are normally in the ratio of a 2-2-1 or a 3-2-1 max due to the nature of the base components that occur naturally.” Will LEED accept the Organic fertilizer despite the ratio/equation not being 4-1-2 because of the naturally occurring nitrogen?

Hi Andy, the link doesn't appear to be working, but I don't anticipate an issue if the product ingredient list shows animal manure and not synthetic chemicals. Any chance the product has the OMRI label? Submitting documentation with some sort of organics certification label like OMRI would help.
