FAQs about SSc1 :

My project doesn’t qualify for LT Sensitive Land Protection. Is it still eligible for this credit?

I have a zero-lot line project in a dense urban area. How should I approach documenting our team’s site assessment?

What is required to document this credit?

Some aspects of our site analysis didn't end up impacting design. How should I explain that in my documentation?

NC-v4 SSc1:Site assessment

ASTM E1903-97 Phase II Environmental Site Assessment for SSc1 - Site assessment

If our project has done Phase 2 ESA and followed by ASTM Standards E1903,  can it be considered to fully meet the requirements of this credit?

Thanks!

This will contribute but it doesn't totally address the credit requirements. This credit is mostly about designing to the site, e.g. climate patterns, topography, surrounding development. The Site Assessment worksheet in the credit library should help you understand what USGBC is looking for.    If the ESA indicates site contamination, that would apply to High Priority Site.
