FAQs about SSc3 :

Is earning one point for this credit an appropriate reward, given the work involved?

Do we have to get testing done even if contamination is obviously present?

If the remediation work is not part of the LEED project scope, can I still achieve this credit?

Are there minimum contamination thresholds that need to be met in order for a site to be classified as a brownfield?

Am I eligible to earn the credit if there is ongoing remediation on my project site and remediation is not yet complete?

NC-2009 SSc3:Brownfield Redevelopment

Project found old diesel tank

Hi, At the commencement of excavation work the project discovered an old diesel tank that had leaked. This meant that some of the soil was contaminated with diesel. The project took its responsibilities and carried off the diesel tank and dug out the contaminated soil to leave this to the clean-up. Will this be counted toward this credit? Thanks in advance!

Tanja, if the soils were tested by an environmental professional and a (simple) remediation plan prepared, your project can achieve the credit when you document and submit the project's remediation efforts.
