FAQs about SSp1 :

Is there a preferred method for documentation?

What suffices as far as a date-stamped photo?

Can I still earn the prerequisite if the project started considering LEED after work began?

Am I exempt from this prerequisite if I have a zero-lot-line building? What if the site work is minimal due to the scope? What about a renovation? What if the excavation and foundation work is minimal due to the construction materials I am using?

What are BMPs for steep slopes?

I have a technical question about a specific control measure and whether LEED requires it. What guidance is available?

NC-2009 SSp1:Construction Activity Pollution Prevention

date stamped photos

LEED online requests the following: Provide date-stamped photos showing the measures taken, including any corrective action, to effectively implement the ESC plan. Include at least 3 photos from at least 3 inspections equally spaced over the site work period. Inspections must occur monthly, at a minimum. Does the last sentence mean that you need date stamped photos once per month over the entire construction period?

It may become clear when comparing what is states when you check "builder or contractor declaration", which then brings up the following statements: .................................. Upload SSp1-2. Provide a summary, sample log, checklist, inspection report, or similar document that demonstrate periodic inspection of the implemented measures. This documentation must include: · Sample dates · Inspection frequency (at least monthly, year-round) · At least 3 inspections equally spaced over the site work period · Descriptions of any corrective action taken. ........................ It seems to be adding "monthly" to the "site work period" only.

We are not checking "builder or contractor declaration", we are checking "The project team provides date-stamped photos which show the implemented measures and any corrective action that was taken." I was wondering if anyone has run into GBCI reviewers requesting monthly date stamped photos using this option, or what the frequency of the photos should be. Thanks for any input.

Michael,This really depends on the length of construction, that's why there are no specific requirments for length of time between photos. I suggest evenly spacing them throughout construction (start, middle, end), so you end up with at least 3 different dates with photos.

We solved the issue of date stamping photos for ESC and IAQ MP where our new camera did not offer the option of digital date stamping for JPEGs by an easy to use software program called Gena PhotoStamper that date stamps photos and photo batches. You can find more information on this software at http://gena-photostamper.software.informer.com/
