For nearly all projects, all three major operational elements (IPM, landscape management, and erosion control) must be addressed by the plan. The most common exception is when there are no landscaped areas or planter boxes within the LEED Project Boundary. If this describes your project, you are still eligible to pursue the credit but you do not need to create a typical landscape management plan, since no landscape waste is generated and no fertilizers are applied onsite. In this scenario, it is a good idea to include a brief clause in your plan that states that no landscaping is onsite but that in the case it is added, the plan will be updated to address landscape waste management and fertilizer use according to the credit requirements. Also in this scenario, you still do need to develop an erosion and sedimentation control plan. This is required for all projects, even urban projects with zero or minimal lot lines.
