FAQs about SSc3 :

Are any of the components of the SSc3 plan optional? What if no landscaping areas or planter boxes are in the LEED project boundary? What if I have a zero lot line property?

A pest control product we used is not on the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening List, but I’m pretty certain that it qualifies as least toxic. What steps can I take to confirm this and document it for the LEED submittal?

Our project grounds are fully landscaped with established vegetation. What should I do for the erosion and sedimentation control plan?

There are no construction or renovation projects planned for our project building. Can I skip the erosion and sedimentation control plan for construction activities?

How do I document my project’s landscape waste diversion performance? We don’t divert 100% from landfills, but we do meet the 20% diversion threshold required by the credit.

LEED-EBOM SSc3

Does this credit apply for a building without any landscape/lawn, outdoor planters, or courtyard garden? Thanks.

Hi Alina, Projects that have no landscaped areas or planter boxes within the LEED Project Boundary are still eligible to pursue the credit but you do not need to create a landscape management plan, since no landscape waste is generated and no fertilizers are applied onsite. 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. (See FAQs above) Hope this helps! Karin

Karin, If no landscape management plan is necessary, do I still need to provide a paragraph which summarizes the reasons for excluding any of the opertional elements? Thank you!

Hi Katie - yes, you should provide an explanation for why any element doesn't apply to the project.
