FAQs about SSc3 :

Is earning one point for this credit an appropriate reward, given the work involved?

Do we have to get testing done even if contamination is obviously present?

If the remediation work is not part of the LEED project scope, can I still achieve this credit?

Are there minimum contamination thresholds that need to be met in order for a site to be classified as a brownfield?

Am I eligible to earn the credit if there is ongoing remediation on my project site and remediation is not yet complete?

CS-2009 SSc3:Brownfield Redevelopment

Soil contaminated (by oil/diesel)

We are working in a project where a tank containing 6,000 lt of fuel has been detected in the soil. This tank is confined within a concrete structure to prevents soil contamination and into this structure were with soil in it. Some tests are conducted and we find that the soil into the concrete structure was contaminated and the soil out of this structure were not. My question is if the remediation of the soil into the structure qualifies the site for the brownfield redevelopment credit?. Thanks in advance,

You have some leeway in determining a minimum threshold for this to be a brownfield, but you need some minimum, objective threshold. See the credit language for your options.
