Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The monitoring report does not contain the values of the monitored parameters used to calculate baseline, project and leakage emissions as well as other parameters required by the applied methodology and the registered monitoring plan as per PS version 09.0 paragraphs 247 and 248 (a) (c) (d) (e) (f).
Issue: The monitoring report states that the annex 3 of the report contains the monitored data such as “Date of planting”, “Check for survival i,j,k”, “Area cleaningi,j,k” and etc. However, the monitoring report does not contain annex 3.

2: Scope: The verification and certification report does not state that the monitoring has been carried out in accordance with registered or the revised monitoring plan as per VVS version 09.0 paragraph 392.
Issue: The monitoring report states that the annex 3 of the report contains the monitored data such as “Date of planting”, “Check for survival i,j,k”, “Area cleaningi,j,k” and etc. However, there is no annex 3 of the monitoring report. The DOE is required to provide further information on how it verified the monitored parameters.

3: Scope: The verification and certification report does not provide a conclusion on the verified amount of emission reductions achieved nor/or confirm that appropriate methods and formulae for calculating baseline emissions, project emissions and leakage have been followed as per VVS version 09.0 paragraphs 403 (c) and 409 (j).
Issue: 1) The volume equations of Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis, Bombacopsis quinata, Tabebuia rosea and Eucalyptus tereticornis in the monitoring report (p 14) are different from the equations in the PDD. Further the equations of the monitoring report are different from the spreadsheet. For example, “SM3” sheet for Eucalyptus tereticornis 13-16 years provides the equation of “V=0.017039+0.00003639*DBH²*H-0.00019893*DBH²” while the monitoring report (p 31) refers to the different equation. The DOE shall provide further information on 1) how it has validated the consistency and correctness of each formulas in determining the stem volume of each type of tree and 2) why it did not request the post registration changes which do not require prior approval by the Board if these changes in the equations are as per the paragraph 4(p) of Annex 24 of EB 66.
