LD2.4 PLAN FOR END OF LIFE INTENT: Ensure that the project is informed by an understanding of the full impacts and costs of the project end-of-life. METRIC: The degree to which the project team analyses, and communicates with stakeholders, end-of-life impacts, cost, and value.

DESCRIPTION (C) End-of-life impacts are assessed including the environmental, social, and economic conditions of the site and surrounding community. This credit addresses the need to anticipate costs and impacts of project refurbishment or replacement and completes the series of planning credits that includes sustainable project identification and efficient low-impact operations and maintenance. Given the long life of infrastructure careful consideration is not always given to the projects end of useful life. For many projects the default assumption is that the project will continue indefinitely with periodic refurbishment.

There are many instances where infrastructure is currently operating under conditions that exceed its original design parameters. This causes accelerated degradation of the asset and speeds its end-of-life. Project teams should anticipate future loads and incorporate them into the project in order to prolong the project life. This can be achieved through incorporating capacity for reconfiguration, future expansion, or flexibility. Project teams The should findings also are consider presented to the ultimate end-of-life impacts of the project.

These impacts are ultimately borne by the community and therefore they should be actively engaged in understanding the associated trade-offs and end-of-life costs and impacts. (E) The project team demonstrates proactive stakeholder engagement in end-of-life planning and can demonstrate the community understands the full life cycle costs and benefits of the project. © 2017 ISI, Inc. 57
