Dear all,
I have a project with an underground parking within the whole LEED project boundary, and landscape work above the underground parking, all around the above-grade building.
During construction, all soil was removed from all LEED project boundary area, and replaced by one concrete slab (basement floor), since this instance, there was no exposed soil within the LEED project boundary.
My first question is that: does my project count as zero lot line project?
Second: do I need to take any precautions after placing my concrete slab, that covers all LEED project boundary?

Hi Omar,
I have what I believe is a directly related question, which I hope someone can contribute to since I haven't seen any response to your initial request yet. In general, I would say your project does count as a zero lot line; however, maintaining the ESC Plan is also mandatory and should be continued to the extent possible. I suppose the question then becomes, what is the best way to determine the LEED Project Boundary? I assume the contractor has rented land on a neighboring plot in order to set up their base for serving the project in question. While the neighboring plot may or may not be owned by your client it is clearly outside the boundary of your project's scope of work, although it is being used to serve the project temporarily. So, do the ESC Plan measures need to be documented for the rented area where the contractor has set up their base to serve the LEED project And what if the base is for example not directly connected to the plot in question and is across the street? Any help in this direction would be much appreciated!!!
