Which of the following statements are true for Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) plan prerequisite compliance?
For the Sustainable Sites (SS) Prerequisite: Construction Activity Pollution Prevention, a compliant Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) plan can be developed or modified during the design phase of LEED certification (B). This flexibility allows the project team to adjust the plan as needed to ensure proper site protection measures before and during construction. An ESC plan is essential to prevent soil erosion, waterway sedimentation, and airborne dust, aligning with LEED's environmental protection standards.
A project team develops a site plan for a school project with an athletic field and a playground with real grass. In order to qualify for the Water Efficiency Prerequisite, Outdoor Water Use Reduction, the landscape area calculations:
For the Water Efficiency (WE) Prerequisite: Outdoor Water Use Reduction, athletic fields and playgrounds are considered special landscape areas and can be optionally included in landscape area calculations. This flexibility (D) allows teams to decide based on the unique water needs of these areas, as athletic fields often require extensive watering for maintenance. LEED recognizes these areas' high water demand and provides an exception, acknowledging the potential challenges in reducing water for such intensive-use spaces.
