The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment indicated the property as having "no Recognized Environmental Conditions in connection with the property", BUT the building has asbestos containing materials and PCB containing materials that will need to be removed. How do I fill out the SSc3 credit form for an existing building that contains asbestos/PCBs, since none of the 3 check boxes apply? Is this considered "Special circumstances preclude documentation of credit compliance with the submittal requirements outlined in this form." AND/OR "The project team is using an alternative compliance approach in lieu of standard submittal paths."?

Nereyda I’m having difficulty seeing 3 options available for SSc3 as related to CS, or NC and EB on any submittal template. You can go to the “Documentation Toolkit” section (located on the grey bar above) and view each version of the LEED Online Forms for CS-2009 SSc3 to see your available options. I assume neither of the 2 options applies here, so you could select the “The project team is using an alternative compliance approach in lieu of standard submittal paths.” checkbox and submit an executive summary report as developed by an environmental professional. All contamination types must be documented with an appropriate remediation plan. GBCI shouldn’t have an issue with this as long as the contamination is discovered and remediated, to whatever degree.
