Hi, At the commencement of excavation work the project discovered an old diesel tank that had leaked. This meant that some of the soil was contaminated with diesel.

Our project site has two buildings that will be demolished to erect our project. Through testing that is compliant with NESHAPS standards it has been determined that both buildings have asbestos.

Has anyone come across a building that meets the credit requirements for SSc3 but also has Lead paint, of which the owner has chosen to paint over instead of remove (which is legally ok in the stat

I have a project where some mercury contamination was found, but not enough to require remediation for the intended use as an industrial site. I assume that in order to achieve this credit some so

I've scanned the discussions on Brownfield and didn't see this addressed directly.

The definition of remediation as it relates to this credit is the process of cleaning up a contaminated site by physical, chemical, or biological means.

In our jurisdiction, encapsulation of contaminated soils (with a "cap" that contains and prevents leaching) is considered acceptable for remediating a site.

Would naturally occurring arsenic contamination (from trees, it appears) be eligible for the brownfield credit if documentation is provided? The soil was tested and is being remediated.

We have a site with contaminated soils. A Phase II was conducted, but not per ASTM E1527-05 as required.

Under what circumstances does a commercial project need to be remediated to meet residential (unrestricted) use?
