Does LEED 2009 require that the site assessment be performed within so many years of project construction? We have a project building starting construction this year, however, the site assessment was performed in late 2005.

Just on the face value of the information you’ve provided, I doubt LEED would accept the existing ESA. Six years is way too long for any ESA to remain valid, given the facts a Phase I requires a visual inspection of the property, including walking over the entire site, a comprehensive photographic log and interviews with the owner/manager/user of all adjacent properties. Additionally, it’s difficult to get lending institutions to accept a Phase I that is over 12 months old. You would be well advised to have an environmental expert "refresh" the existing 2005 report.
