Remediation Requirement by the Local Authority

The v4 reference guide, under Further Explanation, says " In all cases the authority having jurisdiction must require remediation for this option to be achieved." Typically, the local authority is who sets the standard for what is an adequate level of remediation, what practices must be done on site, etc., so if you are going to ask for an exception here I would recommend proposing a standard you will follow for the remediation you are doing.    that ref guide language is pretty clear, but I imagine there are some LEED users here from outside the U.S. who don't have an equivalent authority and are doing voluntary remediation. Has anyone gotten an exception from GBCI?
