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.

LEEDuser has updated our IPM template that is available to members in the Documentation Toolkit above. The updated template removes diatomaceous earth and pyrethrins/pyrethrum as approved least-toxic treatments. GBCI has begun flagging these so we hope to save everyone some trouble.

Hi all, heads up that diatomaceous earth has been approved once again by GBCI as least-toxic. We haven't updated the template to reflect this but please be aware that DE is now an acceptable least-toxic treatment.
