We have a hangar project with an admin building attached all new construction. Does the boundary only need to include the construction that will do with the hangar/admin only? There are some support areas beyond the project site that will involved to provide power, sewer, etc. But I don't feel they need to be included in the project boundary. Does the project boundary have to include the construction staging area? Due to security & locaton of the site staging for construction has to be ouside of security perimeter which is not within the project site. These are probably simple questions, appreciate any help. thanks! Nicole

Nicole, I'd want to hear more from you about these support areas and whether they are site features, or more like infrastructure upgrades in the surrounding area. Regarding the staging area, you are supposed to include in the boundary any land disturbed for the LEED project, but there can also be arguments for excluding that land based on the guidance above, so again, please include more detailed questions if this is still an issue for your project.

Tristan, we have a similar situation with regards to staging areas. We are wondering what to do to ensure SSp1 compliance because the staging areas (workers' honeybucket, temporary admin building, temp meeting space) are separated from the construction site. While no construction works will happen in these staging areas (which happen to be one gravel and the other concrete with no soil) do we need to apply all the same ESC measures in the staging areas or do we simply show on the site drawing that a separate area was used to temporarily support the project?
