Has anyone achieved this pilot credit yet? And if so were you able to get all of the requirements? I was hoping to see a % of how many projects that attempted this credit achieved it. Would love some feedback.

Were completing the pilot credit now and tracking about 56% - It hasn't been reviewed by GBCI as of yet but we are confident that it should be accepted. Reach out to me if I can help in anyway.

I see that Clean construction is a pilot credit, I have been researching grading site balance as a means to reduce diesel emissions and truck traffic. Our company designs a site based on the soils engineers determinations for shrinkage and subsidence. In the middle of the grading operation when 90% of the grading is complete we topo the site to determine if the site is running long or short on fill material, we adjust the site to make up the difference. The amount of site adjustment and the proposed borrow disposal site location should equate to the trucking and emissions saved.
Can anyone comment I am new to this?

Also attempting this credit. Looking for template language for a particulate matter emissions reduction plan.

We achieved this credit on a NC-Schools project in 2019. I have another project attempting this one on a library renovation project. The tricky part is getting engine serial numbers from rental equipment. When I contacted those companies, they were very reluctant to share that info for some reason.

Does on-road diesel equipment include delivery and hauling vehicles visiting the site?

Hi Kai,
No, this credit does not include delivery vehicles. Only the equipment used for construction - lifts, cranes, bulldozers, payloaders, etc.
