My question is: What if a LEED project disturbs land owned by a different party? i.e. if they have to excavate in an adjacent parking lot to install utilities for the building seeking LEED.

Our client has planted a mixture of grass species in a vegetated area. Some of the species have withered and only one has remained and keeps growing.

Good afternoon, We are analyzing a building that in addition to having an outside green area and a green roof, will also have plants planted in the ground inside the building, without flowerpots.

SSc5.1 Disturbance Parameter Clarifications

I assume that stormwater drainage pipes and appurtenances count as utilities and will be allowed the 10 or 15 foot disturbance buffer depending on diameter?
