The list of RP Credits for our project (zip code 80202) includes SSc6. The "Threshold/Path" column is left blank for this credit opportunity.
We are not planning on pursuing SSc6 due to local water laws the prohibit the collection and reuse of runoff from the project site. This credit would be challenging if not impossible for a project to earn in our zip code.
Is including this credit as a Regional Priorty credit opportunity without a "Threshold/Path" a way for LEED/USGBC to "re-pay" our project for a credit that is impossible to achieve in our area? Have you ever seen other RP credits with a blank "Threshold/Path" field?
When I added the credit to our scorecard on LEED Online, the "Attempt Regionial credit" is checked and has the text "This credit has not threshold". When I click "Complete" for this credit, it gives me two points on our scorecard, futher confusing things.

Phillip,
If you do not earn SSc6 you will not be awarded the RP credit. The no threshold/path just means there's only one path to earn SSc6. The threshold/path is for credits like WEc3 or EAc1 where multiple points are awarded in a credit (example: must reach 40% water savings to earn the RP point).
If you aren't going for SSc6 you should remove it from your scorecard in LEED Online.
