Submission incomplete:
1: Scope: The verification report does not list each parameter required by the monitoring plan and does not provide an statement on how the DOE verified the information flow (from data generation, aggregation, to recording, calculation and reporting) for these parameters including the values in the monitoring reports (VVS v2, para 236, 284 (e)).
Issue: The validation report has not provided information how the DOE verified the implementation of the survey in line with paragraph 22 of the Standard - Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities version 04.1, in particular whether the the required confidence/precision has been met, for the following parameters: (1) Py (Percentage of digesters implemented that is operational); (2) Trends in distance travelled for firewood gathering or trends in time needed for firewood gathering indicating depletion of resources available; (3) Trends in price of firewood indicating demand and scarcity; (4) Trends in type of cooking fuel collected that would indicate a scarcity of firewood. Please also refer to Appendix 4 of Guideline - Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities version 03.0.

2: Scope: The verification report does not determine if the assumptions used in emission calculations have been justified and/or emission factors, default values and other reference values have been correctly applied. (VVS v2, para 246 (d))
Issue: As per the registered PDD, the parameter AAFC (Annual Average consumption of woody biomass avoided by the bio-digester) is based on Biogas User Survey report of 2009/2010, and the survey was carried out with 90/10 confidence/precision level. The DOE is requested to confirm whether the required confidence/precision has been met. Please refer to paragraph 22 of the Standard - Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programme of activities version 04.1, and Appendix 4 of Guideline - Sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities version 03.0.
