NC-2009 SSp1:Construction Activity Pollution Prevention

In which construction phase can I certify my building?

Construction phase of an office building is consisting of multi stages. Those stages are including but not limited to; excavation stage, concrete skeleton stage, block work and plastering stage, curtain wall stage, MEP construction stage, interior finishing stage, exterior finishing stage, landscaping and landscaping stage and so on. Now, I bought a new building that its skeleton ONLY had been finished and still the rest of construction stages not developed until now. I am planning to develop that building to be a green building through applying green activities in construction and design phases. I want also to register the building under LEED for Core& Shell rating system v2009. My question is regarding SSp1: Construction Activity Pollution Prevention. Can I achieve this prerequisite by implementing an ESC plan starting from this stage until the end of construction phase? The current building situation as mentioned is simply a concrete skeleton consisted of two basements, ground and six typical floors.

Dear Tristan, How is it possible to document compliance with an ESC plan in the above case given that the intent of this prerequisite is to avoid soil loss from the project site, which could be already done anyways? Moreover, in such a case where a project has been registered beyond the excavation stage and well into the concrete stage, what would the ESC plan include then and what is the documentation required for compliance?
