Hi everyone! Here's a tricky one...
I am a little confused about the possibility of achieving SSp1 on a project. This project started grading activities on 2009 advancing about 50% of these activities. After that the project was cancelled and in 2011 the owner decided to continue the construction activities, making a lot of chages to the design of the project and deciding to certify it.
Is it possible to comply with SSp1 considering that no or minimum ESC activities were made from 2009 to 2011?
I would really appreciate your help.

Sounds like many things are interacting that may lead to the project being defined by some milestone after the redesign, or considering some portions of the site to be "developed". It is also important to understand the local regulations that have been in effect while this work was done, as they may be equivalent to the EPA requirements for erosion and sedimentation control since clean air and clean water acts influence many municipal policies.

As long as the project has been actively implementing an ESC plan during the current development of the project site, you should be o.k. The history of the site shouldn't be an issue, just what has been done since LEED has been set as a project goal in the current phase of the project.
