Greenroads Manual

PR: Project Requirements

Description

Project Requirements are the minimum steps that must be completed in order to be considered a Greenroad. They can be thought of as characteristics common to all Greenroads. In order to achieve certification they must all be met and an additional number of Voluntary Credit points must also be earned. In other words, regardless of how many Voluntary Credit points are achieved, if a project does not meet all of the Project Requirements, a Greenroads certification level will NOT be awarded.

This category contains all 11 Project Requirements (PR) that a Greenroads project must meet in order to be considered for a certification level award. The general intent of this category is to encourage environmentally responsible decision-making processes and to have management plans in place for construction, and to establish a minimum baseline for every project that applies for certification. The Project Requirements also consist of items or procedures that are often related to practices that can achieve points in one or more of the Voluntary Credit categories, which may strategically assist projects that are planning to pursue certification.
