Our project is the renovation of an existing building from 1955. No Phase II ESA was done, but we hired an environmental consultant to do an asbestos and lead paint survey. The report we got back states that there's asbestos in the flooring throughout, in textured ceilings, window seals, and lead paint on fire doors, etc. Is the report from the consultant stating this enough documentation for Option 2, Upload SSc3-2?

Josh, LEED considers the identification, remediation and reuse of contaminated sites as environmentally and socially beneficial and permits any generally accepted standard for remediation, such as RCRA and NESHAPS. An addenda was issued on 11/03/2010 that relates to Option 2: Requirements: Projects where asbestos is found and remediated may also earn this credit. Testing should be done in accordance with EPA Reg 40CFR part 763, when applicable. Documentation Guidance: For projects where asbestos is found, prepare executive summary level content from the investigation’s report explaining the extent of the contamination and required action as well as documentation indicating an acceptable level of remediation was achieved based on an acceptable standard, such as RCRA or NESHAPs.
