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.

Our project does not have a problem with rodents but should one occur the contracted pest management company would use Havaheart traps, then remove rodents and release in appropriate areas instead of killing the animal. Is this an acceptable procedure instead of using enclosed rodent bait traps mentioned in IEQc3.6?

Absolutely, what you describe is a great non-chemical/non-lethal strategy.
