If a site has been bought with all vegetation removed by the previous owner the stockpiling will not longer be available because the site has been already clared-out of any existing vegetation, if there was any at all.
How does LEED consider this type of sites so the can comply with SSP1?
Thank you.

I am not familiar enough with the ESC requirements to give you specific advice relative to stockpiling. However, I would say that LEED would require you to do everything possible to comply with ESC measures going forward. If something has been done in the past that makes this difficult, you'd be expected to mitigate it as best as possible.

Stockpiling of soil isn't a requirement, but should be implemented when applicable and relevant. Stockpiling is a BMP for managing excavated soil and is an alternative to hauling excavated soil from the site and purchasing soil and/or fill later.
