FAQs about SSp1 :

Am I exempt from this prerequisite if I have a zero-lot-line building? What if the site work is minimal due to the scope? What about a renovation? What if the excavation and foundation work is minimal due to the construction materials I am using?

What are BMPs for steep slopes?

I have a technical question about a specific control measure and whether LEED requires it. What guidance is available?

Is there a preferred method for documentation?

What suffices as far as a date-stamped photo?

Can I still earn the prerequisite if the project started considering LEED after work began?

CS-2009 SSp1:Construction Activity Pollution Prevention

Storm Water Pollution Plan for Construction Management

How should we implement the ESC/Storm Water Pollution Plan in case that the client does not have one GC but various suppliers for various construction phases. In the phase of excavation and groundworks there was only one company with which we prepared the plan. Now during the upper construction works there are about 5 to 18 various companies in one moment on site. I thought I would prepare the plan and all following Revisions and representatives of each of these companies would accept it in writing - is this ok? Which other procedure would you suggest? Is it possible that every supplier has its own waste bins, spill kit etc. for which he is responsible? Do you have any experience with such procedure? Thanks

We usually keep track of compliance through the construction management company. They make sure all contractor onsite stick to the SWPPP plan and each and everyone take their own photos and provide enough documentation. At the end the construction management will concentrate all information (reports, pictures, letters, etc) and will create the final report that will be provided to GBCI through LEED Online. When you have several contractors at the same time it becomes a bit messy, that's why there has to be a "head" which is the constructin management agency, or the general contractor. We have projects where the construction management and the general contractor are the same figure and some other where they are split. In your case I would, by means of a contract, make all subcontractors to stick to the SWPPP plan that need to be provided by the LEED-AP or the LEED consultant, and this plan would be comprehensive which means all BMP need to be there. Depending on the contractors some BMPs will apply to some and some BMP will not apply to all, but we truly recomend to create one single SWPPP.
