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.

EPA Number

If one of the product used does not have an EPA Number: are we still eligible for this credit? GH

Hi Alicia, If the product is so non-toxic that it's exempt from EPA registration as a pesticide, then it's also considered least toxic by the LEED program. This EPA website is a good reference for additional info - it shows active ingredients that are exempt from federal registration: http://www.epa.gov/oppbppd1/biopesticides/regtools/25b_list.htm. You can also double check the product's active ingredients against the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening Protocol, located at http://www.sfenvironment.org/sites/default/files/fliers/files/sfe_th_products_screened_by_sfe_ipm.pdf. Thanks, Trista
