Inquiry

Our project is one of four speculative office buildings that are being constructed on a newly developed subdivision. Although some sedimentation and erosion control measures were implemented during the development of the subdivision (which included installation of infrastructure and stripping of topsoil), it is not clear whether the measures met EPA requirements and the majority of measures have since been removed. Our project is to be designed and constructed to achieve LEED Core and Shell certification, including the implementation of a comprehensive sedimentation and erosion control plan consistent with prerequisite requirements. We wish to confirm that our LEED project, and hence the activities that must meet prerequisite requirements commence with the construction of the new building and parking lot only, and do not include the subdivision development work. This building is being developed by the same entity that created the subdivision. However, subsequent projects on the subdivision may be developed by others.
